How Not To Vote For Bossy: A Q & A Stolen From The Actual Files Of Bossy’s Email Account.
Q: Do I really need to click on a link in order to connect with the Blogger’s Choice Awards?
A: Absolutely not. You can just dream that you clicked on that link — or some other link — or you can bat your eyelashes twice like a Genie.
Q: Is it really necessary to sign up before I can vote?
A: No. Those are just the rules. For you, everything is different. You don’t need to sign up because you are special. But of course you already knew that.
Q: I signed up but I didn’t receive my confirmation email – what gives?
A: This is very perplexing especially since Bossy knows you signed up with your real email address: WhenMonkeysFlyOutOfYourAss.com
Q: I clicked on the link and saw your nomination — that means I voted, right?
A: Yes – just by staring at that page it means you voted. You don’t actually have to press the “vote” button and watch the numbers climb because you have special telepathic powers and the Blogger’s Choice Awards are nothing if not intuitive.
Q: I think I voted because I left a really long comment, but is it me or is Web 2.0 stuff really confusing?
A: Yes, Web Whatever You Said sucks the hind tit. Bossy just doesn’t understand why they make it so confusing with that cute little “vote” graphic and the enormous “vote” icon. Gah. And by the way: if in fact you left a comment then you did not cast a vote for Bossy but rather signed up for two free years of Viagra email advertisements. Free!
Q: God knows I tried to vote. And I will try again. But the first thing I’m confronted with is something like, “Enter the ulr or htth”?
A: Mom, you are slurring your words again. Bossy suggests cutting that Vicodin in half.
Q: This isn’t really a question but I just wanted you to know I voted for you! Like a million times! Because you are so great! Great!
A: Thanks! And Bossy can see that you voted for her a million times by the way her Number of Votes never increase! And also Bossy can see that you voted for her by the way it doesn’t list your name in the little section that says This Is Everyone Who Eh-ver Voted For Bossy! Doesn’t technology make us want to add more exclamation points!!!
okay…. so i only voted once.
Orange blossom: Bossy would never be talking about you because you are Bossy’s favorite new friend. Besides, one vote is still one vote! Hooray! And in exchange for your six neglected votes, Bossy will accept cold cash. Or warm, really.
So I went and voted for Bossy in many categories!
Just for clarification, does Bossy want some votes?
Shayera: you’re a doll.
Oh, the Joys: Bossy would like a gross of chocolate covered votes with sprinkles.
zed voted for bossy in the best humor [sic] and best blog about stuff categories.
happy ?
Funny way to explain it. It does suck that people have to jump through hoops to register before they can vote. Good luck.
I voted for you a long time ago, babe.
Jump through hoops? Yeah, it’s agonizing to type my NAME and E_MAIL and think up a PASSWORD. Whew! I did it! Guess I’ll pass those LSAT tests…
Bossy’s blog has “Adult Content”??? Wholly Kaou! I better get me virginal eyes outta hyar!
(But I still voted for yer “stuff” at least once. {-; )
Wow! You are all such dolls! Bossy can be a doll too, but unfortunately it’s the kind that pees itself.
I must admit. I haven’t voted for you yet, BOSSY. But, I’ve been thinking about doing it. I even clicked over to the site from RoD yesterday. And it did seem quite confusing, so I clicked away. Very quickly.
I said I was going to nominate 3Bulls! for best something or other for their Snacktators post awhile back. And then I forgot. And Pinko got mad at me and I’m not sure he’s ever spoken to me again. Has he? Can’t remember.
Here’s how I kind of feel about the whole thing. And it’s very philosophical, so pay attention…
YOU TOTALLY DESERVE TO WIN, IN MY OPINION.
So, whether you win or not — to me — you’ll always be a winner no matter what.
Now. Isn’t that enough?
um, i should have said that i voted for you once in *each* category.
i voted for me, too, in religion. ’cause i keep writing about religion with such incisive depth and wit… that and the hunka hunka burnin love in my bathroom.
anyhoo, the paypal’s coming. you said that your account is,
greedybossy@moneyhungrywebmistress.com
right?
teasing.
orangeblossoms still loves bossy (and her blog)– even if she is, well, a little bossy.
I’ve been caught like that more than once – vote for me…….20 minutes later you’re all tied up in knots without a map and uncertain what if anything has occurred. Thanks for adhering to the ‘truth in blogging’ campaign.
Cheers
I’m sorry I’m too lazy to register to vote. But if I wasn’t, I swear I’d vote for you.
Bossy. I have voted. More importantly I have found your blog. I did try once but for some reason it looked as though you had a blank blog. Technology makes me wet myself with fear. I have also followed links to other blogs from your site, and then links from those blogs to even more blogs and now I need to lie down in a darkened room.
