Comment Contest

Rundle just bet me $50 that I couldn’t get 50 comments on an entry here between now and February 1 and of course I had to take him up on it. So I figured I would hold a contest for the person that can come up with the best tagline for either myself, Mike Rundle or Colin Devroe. Examples:

  • Scrivs: Runs through ideas like Barry Sanders run through the hole.
  • Rundle: I wonder if anyone will notice that I used gradients this time?
  • Colin: Got milk? (inside joke)

I won’t even split the money with the winner. I will give you the whole $50 - paypal fees, but I have to get to 50 comments first before judging. Help me out here. And if you were wondering, yes this kind of stuff happens everyday at 9rules HQ.

Oh and anything goes, but don’t hit us too low below the belt ;-).

UPDATE: Hit 50 easily, but keep em coming because the winner will be decided on Friday at 5pm.

    By Colin D. Devroe on January 18, 2006 5:03 pm

  13. I think David forgot about the all important Return key.

    By Scrivs on January 18, 2006 5:03 pm

  14. I can’t tell the difference between when somebody is addressing another in a comment, or if they’re entering the caption contest!!!!

    By Mike Rundle on January 18, 2006 5:04 pm

  84. Interesting, I can’t take that kind of beat because I will lose it!

    Some day I will be on the 9rules network… some day… -_- (me looking the future, wishing better times)

    But hey! I will grab a beer right now instead. What about “every commenter must grab a beer”?

    By Javier Cabrera (ClearYourMind) on January 18, 2006 6:45 pm

  85. I swear I pushed enter…atleast once… :(

    Guess that’s how things turn out sometimes.

    By David on January 18, 2006 7:03 pm

  86. This is cool! How about some completely random association?

    Scrivs: “Cheap and Fun Ways to Keep Kids Occupied”

    Rundle: There is NOTHING out there even close to what this package/software can do at this price. NOTHING! NOTHING! NOTHING!

    Colin: Who? Whoa… That’s a big number…

    Rundle: “This is an old setup - but works for me”

    Colin: “quality online event that will leave you awe-inspired”

    By Ian on January 18, 2006 7:10 pm

  88. Something in the back of my mind tells me that’s spam. No Akismet on Whitespace?

    By Paul Stamatiou on January 18, 2006 7:51 pm

  89. Whitespace is run on movabletype and to say their spam filtering is lacking is like saying Windows Vista will be out soon.

    Mad props though for being the fastest spam ever received.

    By Scrivs on January 18, 2006 8:11 pm

  90. Scrivs: lady man

    YOU HEARD

    By David Barrett on January 18, 2006 8:15 pm

    By Zach on January 18, 2006 8:47 pm

  92. Yeah, I didn’t think I would embarass him this bad. Oh well. Kids nowadays ya know?

    By Scrivs on January 18, 2006 9:01 pm

  93. The grab a beer comment..nah..nah…well, ok you twisted my arm.

    Rundle: “Sup homie? Homie, I feel you. Homie. Homie. Later homie I’m out..peace out this is your boy…your homie.”

    On an off note here is an actual conversation between me and Rundle:

    Ryan: Hey man what’s up?
    Mike: Not much homie, you?
    Ryan: Straight lampin like a mofo.

    …couple minutes of no typing…

    Ryan: Here:
    Ryan: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lampin
    Ryan: I saved you the work…HOMIE.
    Mike: Thanks homie.

    By Ryan Latham on January 18, 2006 11:50 pm

  94. Rundle: You’ll get that $50 in pennies, Scrivs. Whitespace sucks.

    Scrivs: My shit doesn’t stink… trust me.

    hehe

    By JBagley on January 19, 2006 1:05 am

  95. Hey Scrivs, Have you reached 50 unique comments? That way you would’ve really and truly kicked Mike’s “rainbow shitting” ass…

    By JBagley on January 19, 2006 1:09 am

  96. Haha, probably not if you only count 1 comment per person.

    By Scrivs on January 19, 2006 1:17 am

  97. Rundle : ” Where’s Waldo ?”

    +1 for your unique 50.

  100. Yey! I’m 100!

    By digiguru on January 19, 2006 5:44 am

  101. I’m 101, and because now I’m playing by my own rules, I will drink another beer (yes, it’s 9:21 AM here, but what the hell, lets put some color on our design)

    By Javier Cabrera (ClearYourMind) on January 19, 2006 7:25 am

  102. Scrivs: So what if I act like a Dictator but look like a Teenager?!?

    By Zeerus on January 19, 2006 8:23 am

  103. Bryan: Hey Colin, I need to do this/that with Wordpress.

    Colin: Ok, do this/that (shows code)

    Bryan: Uh, does me being on a Windows server cause a problem?

    Colin: Yep, your screwed!

    By Bryan on January 19, 2006 9:32 am

  109. Scrivs: Using nofollow like it is going out of fassion (look at the source to this page)

    By Eddie Sowden on January 19, 2006 2:50 pm

  110. Hey,

    I do not work or know much about 9rules.com, however I want to participate in the contest. How does it work for the tagline thing? I have to create a tagline for one of the three names there? Based on what? What about, you guys rock!.. I really like your template for the blog. I am considering using it for mine.

    Anyhow, let me know about the contest.

    By Mauricio Idarraga on January 19, 2006 3:59 pm

  111. Scrivs: Confusing innocent people all over the world.

    By Mike Stickel on January 19, 2006 4:32 pm

  112. Scrivs & Rundle: Bi-car-dee and Co-luh, they get the job done!

    Who’s dirty?

    By Zach Anderson on January 19, 2006 6:26 pm

  113. How could Scrivs lose a bet like that ?! Do I smell an undergound promo :)

    By Bart N. on January 20, 2006 7:45 am

  115. Scrivs: Commenting on weblogs since before weblogs had comments.

    By benny on January 20, 2006 11:47 am

  116. Of course, the one day that I don’t read Whitespace at lunchtime because I’m busy is the day that a contest is run.. What luck!

    By richard on January 20, 2006 4:21 pm

  117. Scrivs: Proving to the world that it’s ok to run a business from the bed.

    Rundle: Scriv’s better (design) half.

    Colin: Anonymous co-worker.

    By dbeach on January 20, 2006 4:39 pm

  118. Scrivs: Cowboy and I are best friends .. and by friends I mean he borrows my skirt.

    By Jamsi on January 20, 2006 9:44 pm

  119. Hello,
    I couldn’t find anywhere on the site to let you know that when I pulled up the running comments on Whitespace that the layout was totally messed up on my Mac w/Safari. Dark red boxes covered the text, and the whole thing was pushed left - no space at all between the text and screen edge. The right content box’s text is cut off.

    This is the exact page: http://9rules.com/whitespace/whitespace/index.php

    Sorry to post this here, but I couldn’t find a contact link.
