It's Snoozebob day!
UPDATE:SnoozeBob day is over, y'all. Thanks for all who played along. I'll hand out points tomorrow for those deserving.
Y'all remember Snoozebob, right?
Snoozebob comes around when I am especially lazy am so burdened by other committments that I can't attend to my normal bloggish duties and he throws the doors open for y'all to abuse the snooze guest post. It's easy as pie. Just go here and log in with username and password "snoozebob".
The door will be open until tomorrow morning. You can post just about whatever you want as long as it isn't spammy or overtly francophilish. There are a couple of things to remember though:
- Don't do something so stupid that I or one of my proctors will have to ban your ass.
- Put your name in there so we know who wrote what. In the title is the best place, as a header or in closing work too.
- If you have a blog don't forget to
whore it out here include a link.
- For the category, please choose "SnoozeBob".
Enjoy!
(This post will stay at the top as long as open posting is enabled.)
POINTS: When I close guest posting I'll hand out some points based on which posts I thought were the funniest/most meaningful/bestest. It might be in categories or an overall list - not sure at the moment.

You don't live behind the computer screen, your whole life dedicated to entertaining the likes of me and other's like me.? You have a life beyond blogging?
I am so devestated! I thought we were the whole reason you rose in the morning and slept at night.
(sigh)
Just don't stay away too long!! (seriously).

Caption winners
Remember this picture?

(Click for biggie size)
Even though I'm most of a week late, winners have indeed been selected. Look on the bright side; when I'm late with one of these it gives more people a chance to participate!
First place (5 points): The social worker approached the shirtless boy. "Just take one more step, pretty boy..."
Simon
Second place (3 points): There was so much pee in the kiddies pool that even the water pistol turned yellow.
Spirit Fingers
Third place (1 point): "This is my rifle, this is my gun..."
diamond dave
Okay, so I'm pretty loose on my definition for "caption". It comes down to what tickles my funny bone.

Bloggers say the strangest things.
And they say them about me! A few days ago I asked readers to come up with quotes for me and/or my blog. The winners are:
1st Place (5 points): Your blog is like whoa. I could eat it with a spoon. -Spirit Fingers
2nd Place (3 points): Jim makes me want to hit the snoozebutton a few times a day. -Tiffani
3rd Place (1 point): Blogger I'd most like to see naked. -Emma
Honorable Mention: Ha...I have never said one nice word about you...terrible, even more terrible than I usually am... -Ilyka
Those and a couple others are now up on the sidebar under the new "People love this place" section. The "Best Of" has been moved into this section as well.
Enjoy!

Ha! You supposedly do a discussion about strange things said by bloggers and nary a mention about
this post? Zapping you with a fully charged ray gun would be letting you off easy. I shall allow the battery to drain almost all the way down before zapping you so that the painful experience of being disintegrated takes a long long time. Mwuhahahaha!
Dum - dum - dum - dummmmm!

Darn, I missed the contest. Otherwise I would've said: "Jim almost makes it worthwhile to get out of bed in the morning. Almost."

Over there
There's a new entry at
Protomonkey and damn is it good. It involves partial nudity and severe pain!
Special points bonus: Name the source for the title of the Protomonkey post and get 2 points. Answers in this post please - Protomonkey itself is a points free zone. Don't forget - no searching for the answer. Thanks!
If you want to be advised whenever a points offer goes up send me an email. I had to take the subscription form off of the sidebar because some jackass was putting in fake email addressess.

Jim, may I suggest that every now and then, you don't announce points? Sometimes just put up a reference and see if anyone gets it. Of course, those would be worth more. If there's been no guesses after a few days, announce everyone just missed a chance for 75 points because they didn't get it.
Just an idea.

That's a good idea, Victor. Stealth points. >;-]
Posted by: Jim at August 10, 2004 11:14 AM (IOwam)

Yep, that's the idea. For instance, everyone knows the "Crimson Mutual Assurance" but who would recognize, "You stupid man! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"
Well, other than me.

You talkin' about me?
Why not? I'm going to put up a sidebar portion with things people have said about me and/or my blog(s). Here are some examples:
A new high point in the politics of victimization. Or is that low point? Well, it's a point, anyway.
-Instapundit
OH MY GOD. That site is yours? You are fucking AMAZING!
-Everyday Stranger
I love it!! Your style is fantastic and you're very funny
-Rachel Lucas
I'm handing the "king twisted" crown to you.
-Harvey Olson
You may as well change the name snoozebuttondreams.com to glennreynoldsismybitch.com because he's that good.
-Jen
So dig out those cool pithy things you wrote about me the first time you (in trembling amazement at my wit and insight) linked to Snooze Button Dreams (or one of my other blogs) or make up something completely new. Originality is cool, so is creativity.
Whatever quotes get used will be linked so you get a little bonus there. I'll also get the 2004-2005 Points season cranked up by throwing out a couple handfuls of points for the good ones.

I've got a few....
This really isn't praising your blog but your blog causes me to dream about you. That kind of power has to count for something, right?
http://itsallaboutde.mu.nu/archives/022716.php
Haha! Here is my first post about you..waaaaay back in the day!

That's me and my language-always bringing it down a level.
Still, I love that I am one that will be used in yoru sidebar. Go for it. My language may be course, but the sentiment is real

If I had only an hour to live, I'd spend at least 20 minutes of it reading Snooze Button Dreams.

Ha, I just searched through my old blog and would you believe I have never said one nice word about you? This is really terrible, even more terrible than I usually am to my friends.

Just because it's nicknamed SBD doesn't mean it stinks.
(BTW, your blogdaughter has the best one. She must've got it from the other side of the family.)

Victor - I'm assuming you mean me. If so thanks - unless of course Jim been pimpin' himself out instead of pimpin' rides...do I have half blog brothers or sisters blogdaddy?
Posted by: Tiffani at August 11, 2004 01:18 PM (xpNFK)

Yep, Tiffani, I mean youse. And since you're a Munuvian, you've got a *ton* of blogsista's and blogbro's. Me, for instance.

You've got one full-blooded blogsister in
The Bull but she's been AWOL for quite some time. You've got lots and lots of blogcousins though. I've helped at least a half dozen people become MuNus.

At long last! The final standings for the 2003-2004 Snooze Points season!
Awards are way, way down at the bottom of the extended entry of the post. Sort of like the way they save Best Picture for last.
The last points awarded were for comments on
this post and the pictures therein. The most definitive (and frightening) picture bears reposting:

The winning entries
1st place (5 points): Helen with "Social services intervened when it was revealed a local couple made their children fight to the death, all for the prize of just being able to wear a shirt."
2nd place (3 points): Emma with "Whatever doesn't kill them before they are ten will be a fine personality trait when they are 30."
3rd place (1 points): Simon with "No children were harmed in the production of this story."
Emma gets honorable mention and a bonus point for offering to babysit the spawn my kids. Victor gets a point for his excellent impersonation of a French politician.
more...

Ok I have a couple of questions but first I'd like to thanks a few people without whom this victory could not have been possible ...
I'd like to say thanks to *YURK!!!*

Ok I can take a hint - Jim, put the walking stick down!
Now what is a piece of Jim Story and why do you need my address? Am I missing the blatently obvious here or what?
Oh and thankstomymumdadandfamilywithoutwho ... *YARK!!!*

Third place aint so bad. eh?
Posted by: Tiffani at August 04, 2004 12:48 PM (xpNFK)

Rob - A piece of Jimstory is an actual artifact from my life. A piece of me that you can treasure for all time, or until the police come to confiscate it, whichever comes first. This particular piece is actually a duplicate of the ones I've used in several unmentionable ways but it is itself in pristine and unmolested condition. The address is needed because I've got to ship it to you.
By the way, and completely unrelated, do you have a rubber suit?
Tiffani - Keep telling yourself that. ;-)
Posted by: Jim at August 04, 2004 01:43 PM (IOwam)

Whoo!!!
I get a piece, possibly toxic, almost definitely gross of Jim ... Jim's Life.
Thankyou!
(and no I don't own a rubber suit. will neoprene cut it?)

I'm on the list. I'M ON THE LIST!
I get so excited about stuff like that. It kinda makes me think I could've enjoyed Communist Russia.
I'm in the line. I'M IN THE LINE!
I need to get a life. Soon.
