A Dangerous Contest
I have been reading some tips about how to effectively hold a contest on your blog. They are very good tips and I have decided to completely disregard them.
I am tired of the tagline that I have on this blog. I want somebody else to choose a new tagline.
Anyone can enter my tagline contest by leaving their suggested tagline as a comment on this post. I will create a poll on August 1st that will run for one week.
The tagline with the most votes will become my tagline for no less than six months. The winner will also be eligible for a prize of $10 through PayPal. If you do not have PayPal, you can still enter, you just can’t have $10.
Subversive entries are welcome, but please keep societal norms in mind. Originality is also a requirement.
I reserve the right to choose finalists from the entries if the total number of entries exceeds the limit set by whatever free poll widget I decide to use.
In the likely event that I have lured you here and you are unfamiliar with my blog, let me point you to a category page that is condensed oddities directly from my brain.
Once when I was a kid, I jokingly offered a suggestion for the name of our newly formed 4-H club. 4-H clubs are run democratically for the most part and I was shocked and dismayed when my joke captured the imagination of the younger members. At the end of the day, I was the President of The Hillbillies.

I noticed that I was influenced by your advice when I reread my post. I guess we both have some common sense.
The silliest contest I ever had was for people to create a synopsis of a movie that they had never seen. The winner described Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I didn’t tell her that she was the only entrant.

How about joining the bandwagon and hopping on the C.Whyte train?
Tagline: “I’m voting for C.Whyte… 2020: Perfect Vision”
Bam.

It’ll go in the poll despite my having no idea what you are talking about. Is she any relation to Betty White?

Here’s one that just popped into my head:
“Running Rampant Daily”
or maybe going with the same thing:
“Running Rampant In A Blog Near You”
I don’t like the second so well..
