QBlog Anniversary Contest
By QBlog in
This blog turns two on November 8th and to celebrate I'm holding the QBlog Anniversary Contest. Yep. This is a real contest with real prizes and all that groovey stuff.
The Premise
The "tagline" of this blog has always been "Just one man's perceptions" because, well, I'm one man and these are my perceptions. However, I think it's time for a change, to introduce a new tagline (if only temporarily) and that's where you come in. The contest is pretty simple, submit your "new, improved" tagline to our celebrity judges by November 6, 2004 and you're eligible to win!
The Rules
The winner will be determined by three celebrity judges with yours truly acting as the tie-breaker. The judges are:
- Dwighty (of The Dwighty Show)
- David Robison (of On The Road With Dave)
- lawDawg (of lawBlawg)
"Hey, those aren't celebrities," you may exclaim. To which I reply, "shut up, it's my contest. Indulge me."
- Each new "tagline" must be ten words or less. Anything longer than ten words will not be accepted. The shorter the better.
- Only one entry per person. Double entries will be disqualified.
- All entries MUST be emailed to qblogcontest@webraw.com with "QBlog Contest" as the subject.
- The judges will determine the winner based on which tagline they feel is the best fit for this blog. It could be funny, deadly serious, sarcastic, self-deprecating, etc. As with all judging, the goal is to impress the judges.
- The judges may not participate. Sorry guys.
The Prizes
The winner will recieve any item of his or her choosing from the QBlog Shop. The winner will also have the new tagline displayed on the blog November 8th and if I really like it, I may keep it up there permanently. The winner will be announced the morning of November 8th.
Anything Else?
I don't think I've left anything out but if I did, I'll add it in later. Just a reminder, entries sent in as COMMENTS on any post DO NOT COUNT. You must submit entries via email.
Comments
I disagree. Having QRush would be like having "Timmy" from South Park. Dwighty is MUCH more like Simon Cowell. If you don't like these judges then you're hopeless. ;o)
"I think it would be funny to have Qrush as a celebrity judge."
================
Heavens no.
I'd MUCH prefer to see Qrush's entry! :-D (I hope we get to see at least some of the entries - other than the one that wins.)

Mentorlicious to the last bite.

Thanks for throwing out some bait, but I'm MUCH too busy with narrowing down my entry to bite. ;)
And I see your plan now--trying to keep me busy in the forums so I can't work on this. ;) But I WILL NOT be deterred. ~~
So here are some of my preliminary contenders for my ONE entry to the QBlog sweepstakes.
Your "character assassin" post is making me jumpy, so I'll add a:
**BIG DISCLAIMER: The taglines are done in jest, tongue-in-cheek stuff. I'm not making any references or inferences to anyone living or dead. All characters are fictional except QBlog (and that's debateable.) Any resemblance to reality is, well, **YOUR PERCEPTION** of a resemblance to reality. (What can I do about that?) If any of this stuff upsets you, please contact the blog owner.
That said, here are some of the sarcastic ones:
-QBlog. . . armchair critic to the Quixstars.
-Faster than a speeding tongue
Deadlier than the bite of a viper
Able to leap to tall conclusions in a single bound (with a cape and no facts)
Up in the sky
It's an IBO, no, it's a critic
It's. . . . it's. . . . QBlog!
-Just one man's perceptions. . . .if that man happens to be a Quixtar critic
-The truth?! You can't handle the truth. A good thing too because you're at QuixtarBlog.
-QuixtarBlog. . . a neutral Quixtar site wannabe
Here are some somewhat serious ones:
-Quixtarblog. . . a blog dedicated to exploring the issues of MLMs and Quixtar from an ex-IBO's perspective.
-A journey from ex-IBO to Quixtar critic.
-THE ADVENTURES OF QBLOG: Our adventure starts with our hero as an IBO who starts a blog. He quickly turns into an ex-IBO and then a Quixtar critic. What will be next?
A self-deprecating one:
-A journal by li'l ol' me about the big bad Quixtar opportunity.
(and that even rhymes)
Some more silly ones on the next comment.

**All potential entries are the property of the author.
More silly taglines.
**BIG DISCLAIMER still applies.
-The thinking man's guide to Quixtar and the city
-Come with me and uncover the Quixtar conspiracy and other supernatural phenomena. (better check with legal about this first)
-Anti-Quixtar for Dummies
-The Idiot's Guide to Anti-Quixtar
-Your ticket to a better anti-Quixtar site
-Save thousands on Quixtar tapes. Read how here. (like a lot of ads, this one is a little misleading)
-Are you ready for some Quixtar?!!! Tonight we have the Team of Destiny vs. QBlog and Co. A coin toss will determine the team with the credibility. And who has the coin?
-The anti-Quixtar site to end all controversy (even if I have to cut off your access)
--------------------------
Well, QBlog, what do you think? Do I have a chance at the big prize?

Ooooh. . . QBlog t-shirt, here I come. ;)
Oh. . . I just read the rule about ten words or less. . . geez, you're cramping my style.
Now how to pick one. . . .
Ambivalent

Thanks, Roger. I'll keep that in mind.
And, QBlog, you thought *I* was too serious. ;)
Ambivalent
Ooh, ooh. . . this is good. But how. . . to . . . pick. . . just. . . . ONE!! :)
--------
What?! No Qrush as a celebrity judge?. . . the contest is rigged!! ;)
I think it would be funny to have Qrush as a celebrity judge. It could be like American Idol where Qrush is the Simon Cowell judge reducing all the contestants to tears. And ya gotta admit, some of his taglines are pretty funny.
