Go Obama
*Jumps up and down*
Nervous breakdown.
I attended a wedding this weekend. I’m going to write about it later, because there were some aspects of it which amazed (possibly perplexed is a better word) me. I know you are too busy right now thinking of the election, or praying for it to be over. Either way your attention span is bound to be limited.
Election, Erection blah, blah, blah. Which brings me to this fair warning.
Internet sex makes you sad, anxious?
Speaking of Sex, there is some indication they are having it in Iran, although secretly
From The Ventura County Star, Youths leading social, sexual revolution in Iran, author says
“Iranian youths have created a private underground reality, said Mahdavi, an Iranian-American born in the United States. Girls wear makeup, go with their hair uncovered, drink, have boyfriends and premarital sex and attend heterosexual parties — actions that could have brought harsh punishment and even jail time in the past, the author said during her speech at Spanish Hills Country Club.”
Now of course the sex is largely unprotected because it is against the law to purchase condoms in Iran unless you are married.
On that very obvious note I remind you to vote.
–
With one very long, exhausting, mind numbing contest almost out of the way I thought I’d hold a less mind numbing competition of my own.
A Contest.
Color the dress of the girl in the center of the picture with the color the dress is in real life and win a small block of advertising on the front page of the blog for ten days. It can be a link or a block like you see in the footer here right above the flickr photos. A Blog with offensive material can’t win, and I am the sole judge of that.
Guess the color the dress either by printing it out and coloring it, or doing it on your computer. Take a picture of it if you don’t do it on the computer, and send it to me via the blog email here. Write down the color as well, in case I misinterpret your color. Those who guess the color correctly will get entered into a drawing from which a winner will be chosen.

peace on this Sunday Bloody Sunday
I want to hear about the wedding
That is the strangest contest but I like it
I’m in for the contest.
I’m back in Maryland late tomorrow night because my absentee ballot never got mailed, how the fuck that happened I don’t know.
Could be a wild night.
The man in the middle you are. I’ll play. I might have to paint this for effect. Let me get my color vibe ESP going on.
Contests are fun – I ususally lose these, but sent my entry. I’m with Pia, waiting for the wedding post.
I would color it, but ever since my tower choked to death I have neither access to a printer or a photshop-type program. I suppose I could print it at work, but something tells me with all the “highly sensitive” subject matter in your blog, a few words might red flag the entire site as to be blocked from view at work.
Ah, the joy of having networked computers…
The girl in the sketch looks familiar, I have to say.
Yeah, one more day of this nonsense and then I can turn the tv back on. But will I? Stay tuned.
Cooper has a contest. This act will go down in history.
It figures that if your having internet sex you’ve got to be a little messed upso anxiety and depression would follow. Unless you’re having it with someone you are with in real life and they just happen to be away for the weekend. Not that I’d know about that.
I’ll play. Haven’t won anything in years if ever.
I think red or black but maybe something different will come to me when I print it out.
I can’t imagine it being against the law to purchase condomns.Interesting article on Iran. I wouldn’t have expected such an active “underground”.
Yup we’ve all grown weary.
A contest? Here? Shocking.
I’m gonna let my son guess with is crayons. Wish me luck.
If I don’t color it black my reputation is shot.I’ll have to think to think about this.
Rubbers? illegal?
How cruel.
Color me purple – like this one: http://www.bergoiata.org/fe/roses/jw%20Purple%20Rose%201024×768.jpg
I can’t see doing the coloring book exercise, and I don’t have my stick for saving it today.
Sex in Iran. Sounds like a new show to replace Sex in the City.
Obama – 52.7%
Mccain – 45.3%
Others – 2%
Electoral Count:
Obama: 364 (NC, Virginia, Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, New Mexico, Missouri turn blue) Indiana might go blue – but it will be extremely close…if it does.
McCain: 174
Predictions might be off, but it’s fun. AND that would be a MANDATE for change by all measures.
GO OBAMA!
There’s nothing more to be said.
The question is will it be champagne and chocolate, or grain alcohol and a gun to my head.
Coloring was my best subject. I’ll buy in – guessing black but don’t think you’d ask for a color if the dress was black so I’ll go another way.
I’m going to have to go with this color

I am quite sick of the election crap yet I’m still keeping a close eye on it which I’ve found to be quite self torturous.
It’s grueling watching newsmen play with the blue & red states map over & over.
Newsman:” Let’s look at the red & blue states map…AGAIN!..it might have changed in the last few minutes….UOOOP..nope..it didn’t. Sorry false alarm! “
Thinking of doing this but I’m overwhelmed with sadness and anxiety. ;)
dark green.
Well it seems as though Iran will soon have to deal with their own cultural revolution. With that many young people, if even 30 percent become politicized they can be a real force for change.
VOTE!
Vote like the wind!
Vote like you’ve never voted before!
Vote like your life depends on it! (It may)
Vote like the ice caps are melting! (They are)
Vote like if you don’t then the Spanish Inquisition
will fry you up and toss you into a Spanish Omelet!
Vote like a crazed weasel with its head on fire that
has to vote in order for someone to dunk its head in
a bucket of water, thus dousing the fire and eliciting
a collective sigh of relief from every other potentially
flammable weasel, stoat or ocelot in the vicinity.
VOTE, YOU MISERABLE BASTARD, AS IF BY DOING SO YOU
CAN KEEP AN OIL-DRILLING, WOLF-KILLING, IGNORANT
ALASKAN MOOSE-MUNCHER FROM EVER GETTING HER IGNORANT,
WELL-MANICURED FINGER ANYWHERE NEAR THE BIG RED
ARMAGEDDON BUTTON! (You can)
Ahem.
Wise Words from a Friend on Flickr*
can I just guess Purple or Green on the Dress*
OBAMA SEXY TIME BABY!!!!!!
;)) Peace*
HAPPY ELECTION DAY! IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY PLEASE GO VOTE! IF YOU HAVE THANKS! I’M SO EXCITED!!!
I just got home from driving people to the polls most of the day so I’m not going not respond to each comment. I’ve gotten quite a few entrants and will run the contest at least through Thursday.
At this point only one entrant has chosen the correct color and it was spot on – a replica of the real dress color.
Keep on guessing.
Well if NC goes blue (as it currently stands), then Barack got 364. Talk about spot on…
I also got nearly the pop. vote right (not McCain’s, but Barack’s was right):

I just love the fact I barely could be less engaged (without cable) and still got the basics of this election right.
(I like to brag currently. Wish I could pick LOTTO.)
Good to see you did your civic duties.
The hard part is still to come.
