The Hallowieners!

Who won the contests, you want to know.

First, let me say that I am a lousy judge. What was I thinking having a contest? Was I hoping that you would fall all over yourselves trying to impress me?

Maaaaaybe.

After all, how often does a girl get a chance to watch people fall all over themselves? (This was a first for me. Not that anyone fell all over themselves, but I have a good imagination, and
I can pretend you did.)

Enough digression.

The weiners:


Grand-prize wieners* are

Marie

and

Elastic.


I have grand plans to put up all the entries soon--some of these were just brilliant** (Sharon, you are getting a runner-up prize, I swear, and Jen, Baa Baa Grim Reaper made me laugh aloud, that's quite a feat, and did anyone see Kristine's link to that haunted house?)--so be looking for it.

Right now is not the time, however. There are closet doors to be painted; a broken fireplace to...er, "etch" is the term, I suppose; a child to play with and to get dressed; and a cat--well, I have no idea what he wants, but he won't stop meowing. He may be spending the day in the garage.

Oh, and here's a Halloween fix for the day:

Bewaaaaare the sheeeeeep!


*If you didn't win the grand-wiener prize, don't sweat it. The last thing I want to do is make somebody's day crappy because they didn't win some dumb contest by some dumb wynne. I'm still going to try and send you something. I may not be able to send EVERYONE something--Jeff just might pass out if I tried to do that--but I'm gonna do my best to spread Halloween cheer.
**And Jean Knee had a link that will keep you busy for a looong time, and carrot send some links that scared the crapouttame, and Danielle went out of her way to send me games, and...and...and...I'm gonna stop now, but they all were great.

Congrats to the winners! I hate being scared... my imagination is active. Too active and hubby travels every now and again. I try to avoid putting too many creepy images in my head because they always come back when he's gone.... that's why my link was the Ben & Jerry's stuff ;)

Jennifer B. said...

Congratulations winners!

I am not sad or jealous. After all, I have "SUPER PUMPKIN!>"

Thanks again. =)

Carrot Jello said...

Yeah...congratufreakinlations to the winners. Wafreakinhoo to you.
Where do you live Wynne? In Washington? I'm going to hunt you down. Just in time for Halloween.

you just wanted an excuse to say weiners!

Jean Knee said...

yeah, shovel it! I am a winner I am!!!!

Carrot, I have a van, can you get the "supplies" and I'll pick you up.

Elizabeth-W said...

CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!!!!

Did you know I did the sheepy movie for movie monday a few weeks ago? It's true. :)

Marie said...

Wow, a wiener, eh? It's amazing how easy it is to bribe young marrieds. I look forward to perusing the contents of my purchase (um, prize).

Which link was from Elastic?

That sheep is AWESOME. I generally don't like scary movies, but I'm sorely tempted by that crazed critter. I wonder if they look that funny in the actual movie.

wynne said...

elizabeth--YOU DID? How did I miss that? Am I not as regular of a reader of your blog as I think? Whoa.

wynne said...

carrot & jean knee-- I am not afraid. Uh, "bring it on."

melissa--and a good link it was, too.

jennifer b--shhh, or everyone will be wanting one.

kathleen--maaaaaybe.

marie--yes, it is easy to bribe me. However, it was not your bribery that won me over, by the stitch I got in my side. AND I'm going to be putting up a post or something with all the entries, for everyone's Halloween enjoyment.

Bee said...

wynne, I don't know you and this is my first time on your blog but I just want to say I've got your back cuz I know jean knee's weakness (knees) so let me know if you need any help.
I've got a black belt in kicking butt! ;o)

Bee said...

wynne, I don't know you and this is my SECOND time on your blog but I just want to ask, what's a muskadillo?
Is it a cross between an armadillo and a skunk? Because I think I have one in my neighborhood.

I hope the question was not inappropriate.

wynne said...

Inappropriate? How would that be inappropriate? Bee, your mind must be more twisted than I have already observed if asking a question like that could be deemed "inappropriate."

And actually, you're right about a muskadillo being a little funky-smelling. If you want to know more about what I think a muskadillo is, you can go here.

Bee said...

Uh-huh, uh-huh yes, my mind is twisted. :o)
Also I am an elecuda.

elasticwaistbandlady said...

That wasn't even actually the story I wanted to write. :( My original entry revolves around a spooky chihuahua.

I'm going to write something up tomorrow if I have time between working and throwing together some Halloween costumes.

Super Happy Girl said...

Congrats to all the woderful/amazing weiners.
True story: I was going to enter the contest. Then I realized it was the day AFTER it ended :(
Sad really. But I'm not jealous, there's no jealosy in dumb wynne's contest.

Z!

Sheesh, jean knee. You'd better stop doing that or you will frighten the mailman.

Jean Knee said...

Jean Knee said...

Randi said...

I can't believe I found your blog the day AFTER the contests ended!
I am thoroughly enjoying the links, though!

Jean Knee said...

Marie said...

So no one answered my question -- which link was Elastic's? I've looked down the list of entries twice and I don't see it there. Am I blind??

Anonymous said...

how is wynne today? hope you are smiling and well. happy saturday. your fav kathleen :)

Kristine said...

blogger sucks. i swear half my comments i leave on your blog don't show up. how annoying. i can't believe i didn't win your contest not that i really thought i would. i am not that creative or just that cool.

i was also wondering which link was Elastics. I couldn't find it.

nora.lakehurst said...

hi wynne:

Jean Knee said...

nothing at all.

oh wait it's Sunday. whatever

wynne said...

Sorry, sorry--I was battling a misfit toilet the past few days, but that's all behind me now. I think I can blog again? Maybe?

And if anyone cares, I went to the post office and mailed some items today. (That's right, jean knee, I didn't mail a thing before today.) Now you know.

wynne said...

And I'll set up all the correct links and etc in just a bit, okay? Give me a minute...

Lisa said...

Wynne, I emailed you. :)

Carrot Jello said...

Time for a new post, so all us losers can quit feeling bad.

Oh a contest and I missed it. But congrats!

I posted a link to a fun game in honor of Halloween.

And here is my favorite Halloween joke, just for you:

Q. What do you get when you goose a ghost?













A. A handful of sheet.
