This Contest is NOT a Huge Mountain of.......It is Much More Beautiful Than That




Sorry I couldn't resist the chance to put in a shameless plug for my recent article on contests full of sh-t. Okay so the above image really is a mountain of sh-t, but the picture discussed below is much more beautiful.

Now on to why I'm writing this. Lori over at A Cowboy's Wife, who started blogging not too long after I did, and a good friend is having a contest. Isn't her site great by the way? She has some wonderful photography. And it is that photography that brings us back from a tangent and smack dab into the middle of the topic again.

A Cowboy's Wife is a blog with a much smaller audience, though moving higher quite rapidly, than John Chow and is making him look cheap by giving away cold hard cash. She is giving away $10 for the reader that can guess what a mountain scene, not the one above, is portraying. You can view the contest mountain scene here. I feel a bit reluctant to give away my guess since I think I am first but oh well. Here it is. My first thought when I saw the picture was that it was a cowboy laying on his back relaxing and enjoying the beautiful Texas sky. Well go on over to A Cowboy's Wife and take a peak enter the contest and stop back by and let me know what you think.

later all and have a profitable and productive blogging day

i did refer to your contest in the previous post Contests are full of Sh-t.

I entered your contest and did a quick review of your blog all while ranting against useless posts, not your of course, that are full of SH-t.

oh and thanks for stopping by. I really enjoy your blog.

Thanks. Apparently I had a dingy moment. I saw the trackback, which led me over here, and then I got sidetracked and saw the other contest...blah blah. Typical internet ADD! Thanks for both the mention and the compliment!

What the F Does the C Stand 4

I know all of you have been waiting with baited breathe for my first contest. Well we are taking the plunge together. Here is the chance for all of you to win something for doing almost nothing. Hopefully you won't think this Contest is full of Sh-t . For many many years I have had the "nickname," I guess you could call it, of Cman. Here lately, probably due in part to #10 in my 10 Reasons John Chow Probably Thinks This Blog Is About Him article, I have been getting asked more and more what the C in Cman stands for. Herein lays the focus of this contest. For the person who can guess what the C in Cman stands for I will give them $100. If multiple people guess correctly the winner will be chosen by random drawing from among the correct entries. If no one guesses correctly I will randomly pick from all entries and will award the winner of the losers $20. Clarification: 1. In the words of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, "There can be only One." Winner that is. E

The Stripping Aristologist Contest Winner

Well as you can see from the above screen capture the winning entry is #5. Heading over to the contest post and looking through the comments and the trackbacks I found that Anton of Link Right Contests was entry #5 with his guess of Julia Child. The actual answer was incorrect so he won the $50 but not the bonus prize. I was a bit generous to 2 entries that commented and entered but did not give the link. I had to search their blog to find the answer. There were several that commented and gave a link to their blog but I could not find a post about the contest or any links back to this blog. Anywho....Congrats to Anton and thank you all so much for reading and taking the time to interact with this blog and really make it what it is. Oh and Anton you might want to consider some kind of Contact Me link for your blog. Other than trackback to your post and a comment I have no way to contact you regarding your winning entry. Having a Contact Me is one of the first things any blogger should
