I'm A Winner!

I entered a contest last week over at Steve Novak’s My Brain Hates Me, But I Hate It More (see my link to the left... not sure how to put links in my posts yet - sorry!). This is one of my favorite blogs, and I encourage anyone who hasn’t already found their way over there to go check it out. And read back, too. This guy is hilarious.

The rules of the contest were simple: Write the name NOVAK on a piece of paper and take a picture of it. No Photoshop. He asked that we grab his attention and cater to his sense of humor.

If you read my recent post about cleaning out the old house, you know that I have a bunch of old toys at my disposal.

I had soooo many ideas for this one!

I considered lining up a bunch of Barbie dolls to moon him, each one holding a letter of his name above their little pink plastic butts. Let’s see… Wonder Woman, Farrah Fawcett, The Bionic Woman, and all three Charlie’s Angels. That actually left me with an extra, since there are only 5 letters in NOVAK. Perhaps one of the Angels could be spanking Wonder Woman. She’s hot.

He did say to cater to his sense of humor. And so many of his laughing-so-hard-I-can't-catch-my-breath posts have some sort of “questionable” content. Sooo... perhaps a threesome with 6 Million Dollar Man, Bionic Woman and Wonder Woman, one of them bent over his name. Big Foot can watch. Hee hee!

I also found these freaky Spawn creature action figures in a box up in our old attic. I think they look funny driving in the pink Barbie convertible. Maybe I could make a little NOVAK license plate? Hmm…

Or maybe I could make a police lineup, and each toy could hold a different letter of his name. I could use a Barbie, a Spawn, GI Joe, maybe a Ninja Turtle and He-Man. “By the power of Grayskull!”

No wait! I can set up an entire dirty scene from Caligula, with Ninja Turtles and Charlie’s Angels and… Wow, this is all so wrong.

I also considered going in a completely different direction. Since Steve has a twisted sense of humor, I considered making a little altar to NOVAK, like I’m obsessed with him in a deranged, stalker/slasher sort of way. There could be candles, pictures of Steve, and maybe a little voodoo doll with NOVAK written on a piece of paper and pinned to his belly with great big pins. I even found a freaky little doll that would work perfectly. Now we’re talking!

But then there was a recent post by Steve in which he expressed his fondness for the Muppets. Oh, there it was. I had to do it…

And guess what? I won! Yeah!

Here is the winning photo. It’s not family friendly, but then again neither is Steve’s blog.

Thanks Steve! This was fun!
