Only I was dead longer than three days.
Even though I was beaten in the second round, I am alive again in the third fourth round of the Ladies… Hot Blogger Contest. And I owe it all to the power of two.
That sounds like a lyric from Schoolhouse Rock.
Anyway, I’m not sure what kind of back room shenanigans went on but a handful of the 1- and 2-seeds were reinstated because they had to fill out the bracket. So I am now hot again. Or at least I have the chance to be voted as such.
So vote here [Ed. Note: Link removed at request of site host] if you like. I know nothing about my opponent, but last time I talked sh*t and I ended up getting thumped, so I’ll simply bite my tongue and wish everyone good luck.
And if you are not familiar with the Ladies… site, I highly recommend poking around. Sure it seems like a lot of good natured gawking, but when it gets down to discussing the actual sports, they know of what they speak. Plus, if you have two x-chromosomes, it’s probably a lot more fun than pictures of Mark Mangino.

Back room? You try having a very long chat two mojitos into your Sunday night and coming up with a plan that works.
(It also helped that none of the #1 and #2 seeds did not complain a whit when they were eliminated.)
(And that you were all top seeds based upon your writing samples.)
Good luck, you have a tough match up there.

Hey… I’m not complaining. I’m just trying to make it clear to anyone who might have been eliminated and is looking to throw down comment-stlye that this was a shock–a shock I tell ya.

I am pleased that you bit your tongue, because I feel that we are all brothers here, except for the Ladies… obviously. I am happy to be facing someone who is not into the whole “electronic assistance” aspect of voting.
I really enjoy your blog. I’ve been stopping by since before the tourney and you’ve got some great insight on here.
