The Santa competition is in full swing here on Fuelmyblog and you may have noticed Santa Hats creeping in slowly… The stakes are high – so far there are two emerging teams fighting to win the $20 Amazon vouchers.
Personal and Entertainment are both claiming to have won and bringing relentless chaos to the blog :
Fracas has her cauldron out, Daddy P has been trying to distract with mistletoe and 70Steen has been going round town with a Santa hat round her ankles…Penfold is threatening to remove everyone’s hat in a flash of Photoshop , Olga in the meantime has been working round the clock to provide hats for everyone…
On that note we have decided to upgrade the competition rules for pure entertainment reasons.
1- SylvieD has moved to stir things up in the Traveling section…( I needed a holiday)
2-We will have 6 hats in a row instead of 5 and on Sunday 8.00pm GMT the team with the most votes and hats on WILL win. Period. Hohoho…have a mince pie.
who will win? find out on Sunday: http://tinyurl.com/6rs2ks
Do you have any other kind of pie besides mince? (bleck) My my my….don’t those six Santa Hats in a row look festive in the Entertainment category?
The FMB Santa Hat Competition gets fierce….http://tinyurl.com/6rs2ks
(Entertainment rocks!)
I will happily break the fingers of anyone in any of the other categories if it shall help us win.
I was going to do that anyway, just for larks.

Changing the rules half way through when there was already a clear winner!!!!!! *splutter* *tsk* ……. but I’ve already taken out a mortgage using the promised prize as collateral ………..
I have no choice, I’ll have to let the terrible Goddess know ………. and she isn’t exactly serene at the moment ……
I’ll be back after I’ve found the first aid box ….

You are in sooooooo much trouble ……. [coming dearest ......... sorry]
I could swap over to entertainment I suppose …… plenty of goddesses over there to be seduced by my charm, wit and wallet …..
Any more of this tomfoolery with the guidelines to this internet based competitive enterprise and the WBC will have to step in and take over.
You may all regard this as an official warning…
Why isn’t the Colonel wearing a hat?
I do worry about him – he’ll catch a chill poor old duffer.
Woooooo hooooooo! Nothing excites the Rev. like some stiff competition!
(Make of that what you will.)
I am scared of The Colonel…why is he not wearing a hat everyone?…
The only head apparel that I use is my trusty deerstalker when there’s unsavoury precipitation approaching (or a sandstorm).
To suggest that I would masquerade as Saint Nicholas for the amusement of others is unseemly madam.
the hat kept my ankle warm this evening.
What the ‘goal post’ has been changed?…
ok who isn’t wearing a hat in the ‘Personal’ team?…
see me after school for your hat
That poor teddy has been lobbed back and forth from ‘Personal’ to ‘Entertainment’ as though he was a tennis ball. Honestly… if that old git doesn’t stop mistreating him, I AM going to report this to PETA. It’s new, but they have a division for stuffed animals too.
(With my luck, they’ll show up nude to protest and DP will be in fraccing heaven…)
[Frac I am so worried about Grumpy.. he is miserable of course.. but the other stuff??]
{{Shall I blend a happy potion for Grumpy? I sure don’t mind… he’ll never know what happened…}}
Hi luv. I’m sure no matter who wins… someone will be the better for it.
The Colonel *was* given a hat, but it seems he thought it was a warmer for one of those *ahem* certain *other* parts that tend to get cold in this weather.
No one wants to ask for the hat back now.
{{{ a big old special potion may raise something with Grumpy]
yep hun
If you give Grumpy a special potion then can you make a little extra for me and SnOwY? I have a feeling we will be needing it.
I’ve spoken to Grumpy Ted and he says he’s feeling restless. He’s trying to lose a few pounds before Christmas by gaining a few dollars – a tad like Fraccers. He says he might try religion next …….
Dear Ted has seen the Christmas light …..
That’s so exciting 70steen… if Grumpy has seen the ‘light’, that means the coven has its first member who’s a little
barebear. I’ll have to order another hat and broom… miniature of course.Busy Bear, I can’t imagine how you and Snowy have managed thus far with Grumpy and kept your spirits. I’ll certainly double the recipe so as to share the potion with you two!
Ok, you elder papersurfer you… I have mailed you a very special email containing the secret access to a potion that will help Grumpy Ted become more like Santa. (And by that, I do not refer to anything regarding reindeer or red noses…)
A question for Sylvie… 2-We will have 6 hats in a row instead of 5 and on Sunday 8.00pm GMT the team with the most votes and hats on WILL win. Period. Hohoho…have a mince pie.
By that, do you mean the most votes overall for that day, the most votes overall for the month of December or the most votes (literally) overall?
And am I right in understanding that you mean the votes of the top six at the deadline will be tabulated?
I’m just asking for the fraccers doll. He doesn’t understand these things. Now pins… pins he understands.
Fracas, it is the team with the most votes on Sunday by 8.00pm…who will win? You decide…
Who cares about the main prize – I want a mince pie!!!!! I’ve always wanted to mince …..
So anyway, let me get this straight, we now have to get six hats in a row and then count all the votes up that those six hats represent [which means counting and adding up] and the row with the highest score wins?
What happens in the event of a tie?
Is there a rule [or even a guideline] concerning changing categories at the last minute]?
Is there a rule [or even a guideline] concerning MASS snuffing at an appropriate time? – TEE HEE
Does an avatar count that is holding a hat out of sight, like Sugar for instance?
If FMB are unable the come up with reasonable and coherent rulings for these points I fully intend to call in the Omblogsman – who is MEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Oh. My. Word.
You want a mince pie? That happens to be exactly what I’ve sent you for your present. I do hope it arrives just as I sent it.. in perfect condition and all. If not, please blame Canada Post. (I think there might be some mince pie haters working there so it couldn’t possibly be my fault…)
{{Not to worry about DP’s recent ramblings all you entertainment bloggers… he may be the oblogsman but I am his secretary and I know how to keep certain calls on hold for months…}}
If only my secretary was around – she’d be sorting this out ……… whoops I dropped something again ………
Silly DP!….that isn’t a hat that Sugar is holding out of sight….it’s mince pie.
Hmmmm….I see Grumpy Ted has turned his back on his religion….and become an art-teeeest now?
Has he been eating Busy Bear’s waffles???
I think Dear Ted is going through an ‘experimental’ stage at the moment – I hope he’s taking precautions ……
You are so right Olga… mince pie it is!
Aside from all this fun… I have a fashion related question about work attire.
Is it appropriate (for work) to wear fishnet stockings with a short leather skirt, or should one just go stocking-less?
Just asking for a ‘friend’ you know. She has a lot of work piled up (on the floor it seems) and can’t decide what to wear tomorrow.
Has anyone else noticed Penfold’s new hat (and sudden resemblance to Johnny DEPP)?
Oh… the excitement… I can hardly take it. Minutes to go…
Goodness we have a winning team…and a pirate too!
Well done entertainment team!!! you have won!!!
Bah humbug it looks like the Entertainers ‘have it’ …
well done you deserve the prize …
Note to self, create additional blogs for each specific section of FMB for later exploitation. End note. Muhahahahah!
Umm, John. You need a cauldron for that to work. Some folks have all those blogs and they still didn’t win.
Cackle, cackle, cackle…Ho ho ho.We are ALLLLLLL winners! Well those of us with Santa Hats anyway….and if anyone who doesnt have one wants one…email me your pic & I will make one for you!
HO HO HO!!!!
Well yes, Olga.. that’s true. A cauldron (or a little fraccer doll) certainly helps though.
I don’t leave home without it.
