The Shakespeare May Be Pushing It Slightly, I Know.
Friday, January 23, 2009 at 1:02AM | Mr Lady
Dear 2009 Bloggies Organizers:
Is it really that important to you to see The Redneck Mommy and me mud-wrestle each other? You are aware that we've both borne three large babies each and were left slightly, well, squishy after, right? Do you realize that all you had to do was show up to BlogHer in July with a blow-up pool, a few packages of Jello and a 6-pack, and you could have achieved the same results in a way more you-tubeable way?
Because this shit right here?
Having us both as finalists for Best Canadian Blog? It's just mean.
What's done is done. In 10 days, all the voting will be over and we can resume our torrid love affair friendship. Until February 2nd, however, either thou or I or both must...um...go with him? TO SXSW. That works.
Polls are open from now until 2 Feb. Choose wisely. Or pityingly. Either way, really.

- One: She's going to clobber me.
- Two: I'm not even Canadian.
- Three: There is no three; I just threw it in for dramatic effect.

You said "poll".
Honestly? I think I am obligated to vote for you, because you told everyone to nominate me.
More to the point, I kinda wish you lived closer so I could just love all over you for a bit. Thankyou and congratulations!!!
I am waiting to see the jelly/jello fight.
Smootches.
Shameless promotion. I'm all for it.
Do you think regardless of who wins, we could still see the two of you duke it out anyway? That might be fun. For us.
Congrats!!!
That sucks that they've pitted you against your friend (in a mud wrestling attempt I'm sure) but it is awesome that both of you got nominated and are finalists...how cool is that!!!
~K
Just don't hate me when my part has been played, ok?
Many congrats, babe. '
Are we allowed to vote daily?
how a six pack can bring two people closer....hopefully the mud wrestling can continue after the 2! Which by the way is women's heart day.....that could mean a million things lol :)
You do realize that up here in the wilds of Alberta they actually teach mud wrestling as a school sport?
You are so going down....
Heh.
I voted for you.
omigosh, omigosh! Going over to vote right now!
Wait. I can't vote. I love you BOTH... Can I vote more than once? Wouldn't that just cancel each other out?
I saw that this morning! oh mah holy hell. I voted for the one with the best boobs. ;-)
I like Tracey and Ree's comment but I don't really know who has the best boobs cause I haven't spent much time paying attention to those in between all of the fabulous WORDS I read on BOTH of your blogs. :-)
I love you both too but since since you're more of a real person to me meaning I know you're really out there - I think I'll have to vote for you.
But I think Redneck would win in a mud-wrestling contest... :-)
I'll vote for you if you have coffee with me when you come to town for SXSW.
Please. They wouldn't even need the pool or the Jello.
Jeez. I can't believe you'd actually go toe to toe against your friend like that. Thats really harsh, man. :)
Congrats on the nomination! You totally deserve it.
I have a confession to make:
I used two different emails, and voted for each of you, once, thus canceling out each vote and making it as if I hadn't voted for either one of you.
It wasn't very....productive I suppose.
ooh...voting with two different email addresses....hmm...i like it!
I totally voted for ya!
Already done... thank MommyTime for that!
(and I have, like, a gazillion email addresses, so I've used them all. Anything else I can do for you? Bake? Clean? Iron? [I LOVE to iron] Donate some eggs?)
So now I have to pick? But what if I adore both of you equally?
What will you do tilt the scales of affection in your direction? :)
(Wait, I'm not sure if I want you to answer that)
I really feel like getting drunk today so when you posted the side by side pictures it was no contest! :)
OK that's not why I really did eenie meenie miney moe. OK that's not it either, you have emailed me more than Tanis so you won! :) HEE!
I'm going to have create multiple personalities to do my voting.... ieyiyi - you two are making my heads hurt.
Dude RNM is sooooooo hot, sorry had to vote for....Monkeys!!!! There are monkeys?!?!?!? No choice really, everyone loves a monkey, esp one with an eye patch.
Looks like Secret Agent Mommy is up for the Photo Blog... 'click'
What the hell? You're not even Canadian. Weirdos.
Lifehacker!!! If you havn't had the oppertunity to check them out, they deserve a vote. I don't suppose I am allowed to mention the Politico... I had to laugh at the "Stuff White People Like" Blog
One of my favorite quotes, I have to say. You won my vote right there.
(psst, Redneck Mommy, I'm totally voting for you, but I need Mr Lady to do work for me so I'm saying I'm voting for her. just go with it.)
And I LOVE what you've done with your Blog Nosh Magazine channel editor button! You are now my favorite editor.
(psst, other Blog Nosh editors, you know that isn't true. I lie to Canadians because what are they going to do? they don't even own guns.)
Gotta love how everyone is so wishy washy.
Then again, the view is awfully nice when you are sitting on the fence, isn't it?
You so have this in the bag. Which means you are buying the booze at BlogHer.
Heh.
Hold the phone.
How do you know about South By? You know that is the Motherland? As well as my homeland?
Did you put that plug just for all the Texas bloggers to vote your way?
It worked.
This post was funny too...
As an American I was torn between whom I should support. I really like Mr. Lady's suggested choice of Whiskey and I really like Redneck's Mother boobs.
What to do - what to do? Suggestions?
Yay! so exciting!!!! You are my choice for sure although I love, you know, the other one. I was just telling the girls at work that I may need to move to Canada because that seems to be where all the coolest moms are.
Congrats!
I can't believe I'm not on that freakin' list. It chaps my ass!
You're buying booze at BlogHer if you win!? Tanis said so.
If it's true, I am SOOOOO voting for you.
But.... I have to stick with my REAL Canadian girl...
I....
You....
But...
Err.....Fuck.
Let me know when the jello match is. It's not going to be pay-per-view, is it?
Wow - the Canadian vote is as hard as the Aussie one (and I'm Aussie and I'm so torn!)
May the best lady win, and either way I hope to meet both of you at BlogHer (I'm talking as though Tanis will come back and read my comment *waves*!)
so I voted for you for 2 reasons. 1, you are the only canadian blog I read. And I don't even really like Canadians (well weastern Canadians {but the cames with the territory as I live in Seattle}) but I love this blog, can't get enough of it. When home work dies down, I am going to have start at the very begining to I fully know exactly whats going on. Unless of course someone want to give me an abridged version, but not to abridged because I like to read and love details.
As a sidenote, I also voted for postsecret because it is the only website I have ever been too that makes me feel week emotionally. I will never say those words in public again.
Good Day.
Are you REALLY going to come for SXSW? Because if so? I want to meet you! Totally. I am like an hour from Austin, and I might just swoon if I get to meet you in person.
I'm totally voting for you, btw.
PS. Seriously. Get your ass down here.
Hey Karen(Miscmum), I am totally reading the comments over here. Keeping an eye on the competition and seeing who my true friends are.
Wink.
And just so you all know, if Mr. Lady is going to SXSW I'm totally going too. Because that woman will owe me some booze by the looks of it.
Silly Tanis. I won't be going, because one or more of YOUR readers are going to put a cap in my ass before it comes down to that. :)
Hey, I nomimated you, I voted for you too.
Good luck. If you win, will they let you in the country I hope?
Ya, my readers are all over here, feeling sorry for your hairy ass and giving you the vote.
Which is fine.
Because unlike you, I don't need public reaffirmation to know I rock.
The bruises on my knees and my husband's satisfied smirk lets me know every day.
Wink.
You had me (and my vote) at 'mud wrestle.' Good luck!
I am just relieved it's not against Raymi the Minx and Small Dead Animals - some awesome Canuck (and Canuck-ish) reads in her, congrats!
i just want to see chocolate pudding wrestling with chocolate cake shots.
really, that would be fabulous.
If you can spare some time away from your torrid affair with Tanis at BlogHer, you and I ... have to have a drink, or a shot, or seven. whatever ;-)
is there a prize involved for best blog other than bragging rights? sorry, but you have my vote. good luck.
Public affirmation shmaffirmation.. Vote for Me in the Photography category. That's all that matters!!
LOL
I voted for you, Shannon. I had to, babe!
Voted for you Mr. Lady!
