thisisTuesday #4

Hello ScoFans!

It's time for another round of thisisTuesday. First of all I got a few questions last week about the "homosexual" thing with neither Dexter nor Michael C Hall being homosexual. To the people that pointed that out, that is very observant of you, and you are correct. But Michael C Hall played David Fisher on Six Feet Under, and David Fisher is gay.

Hence David Fisher + Dexter + Michael C Hall traits all belong to Michael C Hall. Because it's all him, only him pretending to be not him.

You might have noticed the rules to this game change from week to week to fit whatever criteria I feel like fitting as I sit in front of my monitor.

Now for this week's duo...

Well that could be almost anybody. Will I see the week out? I don't know. Maybe you should all start a pool. I've got $10 on "Won't see Thursday"

Again, that could be anybody. I am drawn to things that make me laugh. It's also why I often push elderly people down the stairs (Don't look at me like that. If they'd fall themselves then I wouldn't have to push them)

Yep, they and all their readers know who they are now.

Wait, wrong one..



Oh well, I guess I did the celebrity at the same time. It's amazing the ideas you have to save time when one of your favourite TV shows is about to start and then you think "That's hilarious, I should be doing this anyway"

And a let's see where she volunteered and all learn a little lesson here..

Subtlety and reverse psychology don't work on me. Emotional blackmail will.

Until Friday...

Hello ScoFans!

Happy Australia day for all of my Australian readers. Did anyone do anything special or particularly Australian to celebrate? Probably not. Maybe a BBQ, yeah?

For those of you who don't know, Australia day is like "Independence Day", only with a lot less aliens, no Will Smith and it's on a different date. Also, ours "celebrates" the invasion of Australia by the First Fleet, and not the ceasing of being a part of another colony or whatever Independence day is about.

I know some Aussies will probably get all upset with the mention of "invasion".. but whatever.

*RANT DELETED AS THIS BLOG IS NOT HERE TO BE ALL POLITICAL - IT IS HERE TO ENTERTAIN - SO LET'S GET BACK TO THAT* (but if you do want to get a tad political and read sentiments similar to what I had drafted, check out Mary Jane's blog..)

Before that though, thank you for everyone for their ideas on the last post. There were some great ones that gave me a good laugh. The final product is going to be awesome. You'll notice I've put a tiny link just under the banner up the top there so you can return at any time if you have any more ideas.

It's time for another this is Tuesday. Last week I compared PinkNic with Susan Boyle.. but only in the sense they are both showing the world Britain's got talent. Their talent is in different areas, and it's a bit flimsy to base a comparison on but this is my game and I play by my rules (and if you thought last week was flimsy, you ain't seen nothin yet.. maybe I should just stop trying to compare people)

Anyway, this week I guess I've picked two people that I wanted to choose this week for different reasons, but I've still linked them together through brilliance (and flimsiness)

I know Ed's probably got it already. Some of you might need another hint or two.

Okay, most of you (or a fair number of you) probably have it now.

He sure is.


Yes, this week I started by using traits from characters he played rather than traits of Michael himself, just to throw everyone (except Ed) off course.

After Michael has been making news the last few weeks, first with his illness and then being part of the example why sometimes it's dangerous to be on Twitter and getting all of your thoughts out there as you're thinking them, I thought it would be a good time to give Michael a "thisisTuesday" (why does spellcheck keep telling me I spelt that wrong? Surely "thisisTuesday" is spelt right) Guernsey.

So who is the lucky lucky person I have matched up with Michael C Hall?

Let's find out.

Actually, I already know, but the rest of you find out now. Or soon.


Yeah, it was obvious that was the trait I was going to use. Thought I might as well get it out there.


Who could it be?


He knows who he is now, that's for sure.


So click on his banner, get over there, read his posts, see how awesome he is and vote for him on Knuckleheads blogs of 2010 thing. I know he's up against Cheryl who some of you are quite fond of and who is a good blogger in her own right, but personally, my votes for Nomad.

Nomad - Did you vote for him? No? Then you're mad.

It's a campaign slogan I just came up with when there's bugger all of the competition to go.

Anyway, that's all for me this week. And remember, if you want to volunteer just say so in the comments section. I think I have about 11 people still volunteered according to my list.

Until Friday...

thisisTuesday #2

Hello ScoFans!

Well, after last week's "thisisTuesday" was.. somewhat of a success.. well, I only lost one follower so I'll take it (and now the rest of you can't leave because you've already sat through one, you can't say the idea sucks if you already survived it once.. that's a rule) I'm here to do another.

First of all though, I was accused of choosing last weeks volunteer only because she is attractive. But just look around the bloggosphere, everyone out there is attractive. Bloggers are one fine looking group of people. The Internet is not just for the fat and pimpley like it was 20 years ago. And if there was an ugly blogger, they'd probably do something like.. I don't know.. hidebehindapictureofasmiling bobbleheadwithblondehairandablueleisuresuitsotheotherbloggerswouldn'triridulethem.

That's just a guess.

Anyway, I had a few more volunteers for this game. I'll do one a week until we're all tired of it. If you want to be thrown in the list of volunteers, just let me know in the comment section. Also, don't be too cryptic about it because cryptic is difficult, so I just went "Were you volunteering? I'm not sure. I'll put you in the No pile until I get a firm yes"

Also, carrissajade, you did volunteer but there was no link to your blog, and I don't know where you hide. I need your blog to get information from, so if you're reading this, please leave a link this week.

Okay, so after last week I thought the way I would do this is to pick a blogger or celebrity, then pick a blogger or celebrity with one thing in common with them. That can be a common thread. Like last week and the word "quasi"

So this week, I'll put up the celebrity first, then volunteers can see who it is that has something in common with the person I choose.

Ready?

Round two.

A couple of you got the celeb after one hint last week, so I made it a bit tougher.

Of course a long time would be better, but I'll take what I can get.



Really, it was like on every second blog for a few weeks there. People went mad for it.





Yeah, no prizes for guessing from that clue.



Yes, Susan Boyle. You attach her name to anything at the moment and people will come from everywhere to pay good money for it. In fact...

Okay.

So which blogger has something in common with Susan? I didn't really leave it too open this week did I?




Okay, that still leaves it open a bit. Good on me.


Mixing it up a bit. Bringing the third one forward. Very nice, very nice. And also eliminating most of the volunteers in the process.





Okay, now the person should know who they are. Their followers should know who they are. And everyone else is about to be introduced to them.


She already has an awesome banner, and if you click on that awesome banner above, you'll be looking at her awesome banner in no time. Read a few posts while you're there. It's great stuff.


And as always.. or at least, again.. I'm going to show you the moment they volunteered and their name and likeness became my intellectual property for one post.



Remember, if you want my mad Paint skills put to work creating a banner for you, and you haven't already done so, volunteer in the comment section.

Until Friday...

Hello ScoFans!

Okay, so I didn't want to be one of those bloggers who did "gimmicky" weekly things, and here I am trying out a second. I guess with gimmicks you don't really have to think.

Anyway, here we are for the first thisisTuesday. Will it be the last? That's really up to you now isn't it?

I'll just start. You'll see how it works. I'll start with our volunteer...


See? That's all it is. I'm just making banners for other people.. because I can. Anyway, I started this one with something general. Something to keep as many of you as possible going "Oh crap, it was me! I volunteered! But when?"

Unveiling phase two...

Yep, still keeping you in the guessing game. Also, I didn't really use my eraser very well. Oh well.

Phase three and the person will know exactly who they are..

Yep, you know who you are now.. now it's time for everyone else to know who you are as well..


I'm pretty sure if you click on the banner it'll take you right to her blog. That's right, I'm getting high tech.

And Meredith might be wondering "But when did I volunteer?".. well it was right here..


So that was my inspiration to start using bloggers for thisisTuesday as well as celebs. There is going to be a celeb (sort of) coming up, but first, while it's there in black and white, I should show off my manly award (and perhaps my breathtaking gown as well)


I'm not sure which one of those was the actual award, so I'm taking them both and heading for the border! So long suckers!

No wait, I was supposed to do a celeb as well. No wait, not do, but like.. well, you know.

Anyway, lets see how many hints you need to get this one (it's an obscure one this week, in future they might be easier, but you'll see why I chose this person. Partly for the second hint, but mostly for the third..)

Anyone? A few of you perhaps?


If you didn't get it on the first one, the second one probably won't help much (but it's only because of the second one I know who he is)

Yep, with Meredith winning the award I had to go with the man who made me love the word quasi. It's my quasi-favorite word (word humor, it's almost as good as math humor)

Oh yeah, I still haven't done the big reveal. The big reveal that will make some of you go "Yeah, I knew it" and others go "Who the.."


I guess that's it for the first thisisTuesday. I'll be back with another next week with a (real) celebrity and if anyone else would like to see how they look in thisisLand, just leave a comment asking me to do you.. no wait..
