I would like to make an official complaint against TimmyD (yes, that’s a link to his blog and yes, you should definitely visit it.) for discriminating against me on his blog. That’s right, you heard me. Tim here has a retarded haircut picture contest running at the moment. So little ol’ me, being a devoted blog-reader, decided to participate.

I found the most retarded young photo of myself that I could with the retarded short haircut I had at the time. I e-mail it to Tim here, excited about participating in a fun contest. Although in the e-mail I mention that if I happen to win he should give the prize (a free phone coaching session) to one of the guys who have entered instead of myself.

Anyway, I check my e-mail justs a few minutes ago and I see an e-mail from Tim himself. It starts out OK at first, talking about drawing straws to choose the participant who would receive the phone coaching session.

But then, then, Tim says that he just saw my picture and that I will definitely not win because it is too (and I quote) “adorable”. There aren’t even enough entries to judge yet and my photo is already deemed to be disqualified! Ok, ok, Tim is the owner of the contest and I’m assuming he is the sole judge. But come on, to chop someone’s hopes and dreams under them just like that is horrible. I am a fair participant in the contest and I sent in the most retarded young photo that I could find. Well…there was one photo to rival that one, but it involved bare buttcheeks and I am not entering that. 

So Tim, if you read this, this is an official complaint about you and your blog-ganization. 

And for the rest of you, enter his contest. (Read through the comments to find out how to enter). Just make sure that you send a photo that’s more retarded than the most retarded photo you do have. Photoshop it. 

And for the curious, below is the culprit:

(TimmyD, if you’re reading this, check out my tags. I’m using your name because I got tons of traffic from someone googling it before xD)

I’m doing it. That’s right. You know, I’ve always figured that entering those blog contests with awesome prizes is useless – there are so many people entering those things that the chances of winning must be one in a gazillion! And then I stopped and thought: Wait, Liza…aren’t you the one who’s always encouraging people to have faith? Have some faith, dammit!

So here I am, entering my first blogging contest which offers a solid prize – a 16 GB iPod Touch. The contest is being made available to bloggers by Datepad, which is a free online dating service. It boasts great ways to meet singles in individuals’ areas and while mentioning it is a requirement of the contest, the service genuinely looks professional and well thought out.

When I stumbled across Datepad’s iPod Touch Contest I figured, what do I really have to lose, right? Only a bit of time and space on my blog. Besides, if I win, the payout will be more than worth it.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed and using all my psychic powers and l33t 1nt3rn3tz skillz to win this thing. And if I don’t…well…at least I can say I tried :)

I’ve decided to start running a weekly blog post award. Each week, I will select a blogging genre or topic and bloggers will be able to nominate one their own or another blog’s blog posts that fit into the genre to be selected for the Soup Spoon Award. Remember, nominate a blog post, not an entire blog.

Each week, the winner will receive a post announcing them as the winner and linking to the winning post, as well as a spiffy award graphic with your blog’s name and the genre of the winning entry to put on your site. The blog post will also be Stumbled (optional).

The winner will also be entered into a drawing to win a review for their blog.

ENTRY
-The entry rules are simple. Any blog post can be nominated. Whether it be a Myspace blog or your own domain name as long as it’s a blog, you can nominate its posts for the Soup Spoon Award.

-The blog post must have been written before the week’s genre or topic was announced.

-If your blog won the Soup Spoon Award once this month, you cannot enter again until the next month. If your blog was entered but didn’t win the Soup Spoon, feel free to enter it as many times as you wish.

TO ENTER
To enter the contest, simply comment on the blog post that announces the genre for the week with:
- The name of the blog to which the post you are nominating belongs to
- The title of the post that you are nominating
- The URL of the blog post you’re nominating
- Please specify if you do not wish for the blog post to be Stumbled if it wins
