Minionlympics: BREAKING NEWS

by Alicia on 8 February 2010 · 6 comments

As you may have heard, I may or may not have a mild obsession with The Creamery’s Minionlympics that may or may not border on obnoxious.

Well, it is with this obnoxiousness that I bring you BREAKING NEWS: New Stipulations on the Golden Minion Box of Awesomeness!!

Whimsy, Master of Ceremonies over at The Creamery has declared that the gmboa (gumbo!) remain in the Creamy family, so to speak, such that, even as it is paid forward, only the e-minions shall be eligible to receive it.

As it is with the Holy Ghost.

(Okay, in addition to being obnoxious, that bordered on creepy. Sorry. But I’m leaving it because it’s not only funny-strange but also funny-ha-ha.)

So. New terms. Subject to change.

Current Official Rules for Supporting Bethsix in the Minionlympics

  1. If you would like to be eligible to receive the gmboa yourself (and you *should*), it is now EVERY (WO)MAN FOR HER/HIMSELF!! Go to The Creamery, and click on “Follow” under “The E-Minions” in the right sidebar. If you DO join the ranks of the e-minions, you are in for a treat. Whimsy is fantastic. But TRUST. On the gmboa, you are in for a fight, my friends. Because I ENJOY ME SOME PACKAGES.
  2. If, for some wacky reason, you do not desire to follow the Cream, you can support me in my quest to win Minionlympics gold by:
    • Leaving a comment over at The Creamery, once per post/day, Monday through Friday this week, mentioning that you’re cheering for Alicia.
    • Leaving a comment here letting me know that you cheered for me in the Minionlympics, once per post/day, Monday through Friday this week.
    • Leaving a comment on the incomparable Jayme’s Minionlympics post, once per day, Monday through Friday this week, letting her know you cheered for me in the Minionlympics.
  3. **BEST VALUE** OR if you desire to follow the Cream but would like to support me in my quest to win Minionlympics gold and the gmboa, leave comments as described by #2 above. This will entitle you to EXTRA SUPERIFIC (and possibly soporific) prizes, as described below.**BEST VALUE**

Current Official Prize Regulations for Supporting Bethsix in the Minionlympics

  • In the event that I win Minionlympics gold, only The Creamery’s e-minions will be eligible to receive the Golden Minion Box of Awesomeness in my resulting giveaway, as described by Whimsy’s guidelines.
  • Whether I do or tragically do not win Minionlympics gold, your support as described by item #2 above will entitle you to additional chances to win a separate, gmboa-unrelated, unnamed (but superlative) box of fantastical goodies from YOURS TRULY. That’s right, kids! So inspired am I by fun packages and this spirit of paying it forward, I will give away my own mystery box EITHER WAY!
  • The third bullet under item #2 above entitles you to enter to win yet another, totally separate mystery box from Jayme!! Just because she is awesome!!

A Final Message

In the event that you cannot bear to hear another word from me about the Minionlympics, you should probably skip Bethsix for the week. (Bradley, you are excluded from this message.)

That is all.

LET THE GAMES CONTINUE!

Minionlympics: Day 1

by Alicia on 8 February 2010 · 7 comments

It is Monday. You know what this means.

Awww YEAH!!!!

The game is ON!

Like a pot o’ neckbones!

I’m so excited! And I just can’t hide it!

Obviously.

Okay, so you know what to do, friends! Even if you are heartless and only care about prizes, hop on over to The Creamery to cheer me on!

And! And! And! Get this!

I swear, this is almost even more exciting to me than the Minionlympics themselves!

Jayme over at The TaterTwins has sweetened the deal even further by offering a mystery box to MY cheerleaders!

And I did not even pay her to do this!

She is just THAT fantastic!

And yes, every sentence in this post IS SO EXCITING that it deserves its own line!

So. To recap – because there’s a lot of forward payment going on – your charge, if you choose to accept it:

  1. Leave a comment over at The Creamery, once per post/day, Monday through Friday this week, mentioning that you’re cheering for Alicia.
  2. Leave a comment here letting me know that you cheered for me in the Minionlympics, once per post/day, Monday through Friday this week.
  3. Leave a comment on Jayme’s Minionlympics post, once per day, Monday through Friday this week, letting her know you cheered for me in the Minionlympics.

Items 1 and 2 entitle you to additional chances to win the Golden Minion Box of Awesomeness in the event that I win it from Whimsy. Or, in the sad, sad circumstance that I do NOT win it, these items entitle you to additional chances to win an unnamed (but superlative) box of fantastical goodies from YOURS TRULY. Item 3 entitles you to chances to win a MYSTERY BOX from Jayme!!

How can you go wrong?!

IT IS LIKE A GIFT TO HUMANITY!!

Gumbo! Without the slime!

by Alicia 7 February 2010

Me: “I just had the most brilliant idea.”
Brad (handing Archer to me in the shower): “What?”
Me: “If I win the Golden Minion Box of Awesomeness…”
Brad: (rolls eyes)
Me: “I can’t believe you just made that face at me.”
Brad: “What?! I thought you had a brilliant idea about bathing.”

And then I told him my brilliant idea, which [...]
