Survivors ready?

Posted in Alphabet Soup on June 5, 2004 | Permalink | Comments (3)

So our good friend Mr. “Piehorns” has launched the second installment of his tailor-made-for-the-blogosphere version of Survivor, and the hand-selected contestants already had their first immunity challenge.

And what do you know? The challenge involves them giving detailed (and juicy? Or gross?) descriptions of how they’re planning on feeding themselves whilst marooned there on Blogger Island.

I like their first challenge (but then, it's not my challenge to be challenged by, right?), because it's tying right into what seems to be fast becoming the runaway theme on this blog!

Good news is we get to help vote for the winner! So, let’s all go help make someone else as happy as all of you have made me! Well, okay then… but we can at least try!

However, we can't vote just yet. I think we still have to wait for Piehorns, who is embroiled in an apparent um... shall we say... scuffle with airport security ('cause I don't think what he meant involved the dentist, despite all that talk about cavities) somewhere between the Midwest and Texas.

Survivors ready?

Red, Out! (Oops, I seem to have my "reality" shows mixed up!)

(Update: Wander over to the tribal council, hear their pleas and cast your vote.)

Ah, yes! Very relieved that you made it through all those cavity searches!

And no, see. In my "Disleksick" mind it definitely IS "Piehorns." Besides, Mice likes it too.

Looking forward to voting!

is a South African girl living in South Africa. That doesn't sound very original, we know, but you might find it remotely interesting when you learn that she has only recently returned to South Africa for the first time after a nine year, one month and two week (non-stop!) stint in the United States where she accidentally became an outlawed alien (also known, especially in immigration circles, as an 'illegal immigrant.' We prefer the term 'outlawed alien' ourselves). During her reversed exile from her homeland, she kept herself occupied by winning this website (but only after shamelessly bribing the judges) and thus being unleashed on the web where she slowly, leisurely became the World's Laziest Blogger; by being a nanny and by attending sci-fi conventions in search of other aliens. In the US, she also made her sailing debut, her international acting debut, tried and failed to learn the piano, and never learned to cook. She is hopelessly addicted to coffee, dogs (especially Labrador Retrievers), how-to books (with a particular fondness for her copy of the Time/Life A - Z Medical Encyclopedia), and she tends to grossly overuse parentheses (we're not kidding) during her attempts at writing, which you may - if you really have masochistic tendencies - subject yourself to by reading the words to the right of this column. If you REALLY and truly STILL want to know more, you can read her C.V. here.
Or you can ~~stalk her~~ send her some love via e-mail at: redsaid[AT]gmail[DOT]com

The Wish List (Because yes, she really does need more how-to books. Honestly!)
