Ok look.

I never ask you people for much. (What’s all that laughing about?) But now, I’m asking, ok?

Here’s the skinny, direct from Aaron:

All you Higher Beings, Mortal Humans, Playful Primates and Large Mammals are eligible to be immortalized in your own Blogopoly-style playing card in a commemorative end-of-year blogger alter-ego meme:

Deck O’ Bloggers 2005

I’m taking nominations via trackbacks to this post. I’ll be seeding the nominations with some of the obvious candidates.

So let’s get to it, I don’t want to be pathetic guy and nominate myself, but I will if I have to. Somebody write a post nominating me, immediately. Then go to the link above and pull down the trackback URI so it gets all official and whatnot.

I want to be nominated as a Spade, because it is now my goal in life to become the Jack of Spades, from now on known as “Jack Spade”

Since I need to have an official self nomination done (just in case) I’ll do it now:

My blog The Donegal Express should be eligible in the Spades suit poll because there is no white Irish guy alive that can do a better Jack Spade from “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka” than myself. I am also the King (err..Jack) of calling a spade a spade.

Check it:


Der Tommissar

“Yo man, look at that hoe.”

“Dog, you better recognize. That’s no hoe, that’s a spade!”

Let’s also get something else straight. I /do/ have my own theme music. You laugh, my wife weeps. “When do these people go home?”

“Home? That’s my theme music. Word is bond.”

Here’s a picture of my theme music band:

I never go anywhere without them.

And if you need another reason to get me nominated (and then VOTE for me), here it is:

I’m an ex-football player.

Get to it.

I don’t want to have to play hardball here, but I will. If I don’t get a nomination, you get no more posts this year. Don’t mess with me. I’m on the edge. I’m. On. The. Edge.

  1. What? No excerpts from Flyguy’s poetry recital/talent portion for the POTY competition?

    And the Noway products…

    [DT: I try to keep this place as a family blog. Translation: My wife reads this, and smacks me in the head when I’m not expecting it if I go over the line]

  3. Ah, the Wife Wince. Know that one.

    Which is kinda why I kept the comment coded and abbreviated, if you noticed.

  4. Where do we vote? That link is not coming up on my computer.

    [DT: Obviously, my legions of supporters have crashed his server. Well done. Voting for Spades does not come up until for a few days yet. I just need to make sure I have a nomination (preferably more than one, so as to put fear in my adversaries.)
