Contest #1 - With Cool Prizes!
Wednesday, August 29, 2007 at 4:45PM
Hey! Do you want to have some fun and win a cool prize?
I'm sponsoring a contest for the readers of theMangoTimes. It involves taking a quick test to determine how well you know me. It's only twenty short multiple choice questions...only one entry per person. I will announce the prize and the winner one week from today!
Here are the results so far:

Note...the Andrew F is actually Kenj...she's glad to know that she is in first...Fletch
Ok, not bad for someone who hasn't met you IRL. Susan
Doh! I'm blaming some of my bad answers on being out in the sun at the state fair all day......However, I have to admit, most of them were just guesses anyway. Hope you fess up with all of the "correct" answers someday soon. There are a couple that really have me wondering. ;-)
When I announce the winner, there will be full disclosure...Fletch
Is it really fair for your wife or the wife of your best friend to win the prize?! This is all rigged, isn't it? It's got the smell of fletch all over it.

Hey! Who is Danielle and why did she get so close to my score??? :D
Don't be discouraged, everyone. I know for a FACT that one of the three answers I missed was wrong- Fletch's answer is WRONG. Never, ever, ever in my entire career as his wife (16 years, 1 month, and 16 days) have I EVER heard him say he wanted to be xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx . Ever. Don't believe him.
(EDITORS NOTE- I'M SORRY, I HAD TO SWOOP IN AND DELETE PORTIONS OF MY LOVELY WIFE'S COMMENTS, BECAUSE SHE WAS GIVING AWAY THE ANSWERS AND I AM TRYING TO RUN A FAIR TEST HERE! EVERYONE SHOULD GET AN EQUAL SHOT AT THE REALLY REALLY BIG PRIZE!!! SHE IS STILL UPSET THAT SHE DIDN'T GET A PERFECT SCORE AND SHE MAY NOT GET THE REALLY REALLY BIG PRIZE!!!)
oh...just pipe down howard...kendra is not even in the running, she is just setting the curve for the rest of you (although she's a bit peeved that she did not get a perfect score...and i've already heard from her how i haven't been forthcoming throughout our marriage...)...furthermore, as of this moment, "miss dani" is in the lead (even beating my best friend's wife...). you are just upset because you don't really know me...and you may lose out on the cool prize...

Nate just said, "Danielle Line-----". Duh. OK, Dani, you're off the hook ;D
Did you notice that the ads on the sidebar of the test are all dental? One is for Modesto Family Dental- sheesh- can't you at least get your practice on there? And one is for dentists in Dubai. Hmmm. Long way to go for a cleaning.
one more quick comment...did anyone notice when my lovely wife left her previous comment above that she referred to her marriage to me as "a career?"
what is that all about? a career? i tend to think of our marriage as love, affection, commitment, relationship...and now suddenly i learn that after sixteen years, she's been clocking in hours at a career? it's not like i had a big recruitment and offered her great medical/dental benefits...although had it been an interview situation...she would have gotten the job...hands down!
at the same time, i'm fairly certain that not many would have applied for the job. i was one year out of college and working as the manager of a dorm. my claim to fame was my complete collection of jimmy buffett albums, my really cool fish tank, a couple of parakeets, and that i rode my red schwinn cruiser everywhere i went (i'm still not sure why her dad gave his approval for the whole marriage plan, but God bless him for saying yes).
anyhow, as far as kendra's career has panned out, i still have all the jimmy buffett music. we have a pond instead of a tank. we have chickens instead of parakeets. and, i still own the red bike. i guess not much has really changed...
I noticed you failed to mention that the really cool fish tank was used as a lure. I recall the phrase, "Want to see my fish tank?" used as a regular pick up line amongst Archites. EK, Grandbro- willing to chime in on this one?
Of course, this comment might be edited for content...
I've failed. I hope you have a heart for the low achievers. I'll repeat the grade.
To quote Bob: "I'm not a slacker. I'm doin' the work. Honest."
Okay, okay, okay, I must admit I had a LOT of lucky guesses!
A few I thought I knew, but the majority were just guesses, I was shocked by how many I got right.
I predict your lucky lotto numbers will be 27, 39, 45, 72...
I demand a recount!!!! And I will have you know that as I was doing your little "test" howie was popping in his 2 cents in the backround. Do you know how hard is to concentrate when Howie is talking?! And yes, this so-called marriage thing is a career. At least your wife gets dental benefits. All I get is someone trying to sell me more things I don't need! sheesh. :o)
