Woohoo! I’ve just been nominated on neuroticfitchmom’s site as one of Xanga’s best! This is actually the second contest Dramamine Boy’s Xanga has been nominated for, but I didn’t find out about the first one until the voting had already ended. So, I couldn’t shamelessly shill for votes like others did and I lost. Actually, I still don’t know what I was nominated for.
So, go over to her site and check out all the categories and nominees. At worst, maybe you’ll find some new sites to subscribe to. There are a bunch of categories being currently voted on and I’m nominated for…
Best Banner? How’d I get nominated for Best Banner? For those of you that have been around for awhile, you’ll remember that most of my banners have purposely been about as plain as possible. The usual Dramamine Boy’s Xanga banner is something like:
And sure, instead of the tag line on the right, I’d insert a pic every so often that related to a recent Dramamine Boy’s Xanga blog, such as:
or 
but none of those were award-worthy. Sure, the Olympics banner and the current banner have a lot more work involved, but isn’t Dramamine Boy’s Xanga known for other things besides banners?
Like what about Most Inspiring Site? My parenting tips weren’t inspiring? YUTA TABUSE ISN’T INSPIRING!?!
(Speaking of Yuta Tabuse… he is currently hurt with a pulled hamstring. After winning their first four games with Yuta, the Suns went out and lost their first game of the season without him. COINCIDENCE!?! I think not.)
Or how about Xangan You Would Most Likely Visit? Nobody wants to visit me!?! We have a huge, luxurious
compoundestate here at Dramamine Boy’s Xanga Headquarters! And think of all the workers here that will be waiting on you hand and foot, tending to your every need and serving you top notch meals!
Workers burying pig for Dramamine Boy’s Xanga Headquarters luau
And the biggest oversight of them all… what about Sexiest Xangan!?!
THIS ISN’T SEXY!?!
And why isn’t cowboybone in the Best Writer category? I CALL SHENANIGANS!
So, just write in my name for like all the categories and hopefully, I’ll win ‘em all! I’m guessing there will be some huge cash prize for winning each category, so if I win all of ‘em, I’ll be rich and I can quit my job! And that’ll mean more Dramamine Boy’s Xanga blogs for everyone to read! SO GO VOTE! WOOHOO! GO YOU!
Honestly, I went through the competition in the Best Banner category and I don’t think I have a chance. But… that doesn’t stop you from voting for me without regard for fairness or unbiasness!
“Unbiasness”… I think I just made up a new word. YET ANOTHER REASON TO VOTE FOR ME!
And a big thanks to Grisaleen, who nominated me!
The Yuta Line!

Hey I’d most likely visit your Xanga if I won the lottery!
Oh wait it said Xangan, not Xanga.
Well.
Hey I’d most likely visit you if I won the lottery!
LMAO! This is great!
I do like green eggs and ham.
I nominated you for best banner. I love it! Death-defying acts….baby pictures! Mwahahaha. I went through the competition, too, and I don’t even think I’m going to vote for myself. There are too many other great nominees. (like you)
It was a toss-up between you and grisaleen for best banner, but I really liked hers the best. So I nominated you for Best Overall. Your Xanga always cracks me up. And I was sent here by grisaleen, who is the coolest.
I’m sorry to say that I pretty much ignored everything you wrote because I’m absolutely hypnotized by the Olympic banner. How in god’s name were you able to get the words to fold into the clothing? The folds, man!
alright, alright, i’ll visit you next time i’m in town
You deserve the nomination. A natural treasure of the state of California. lmao
I surfed your way by means of the Xanga contest that neuroticfitchmom is hosting. Just dropped by to see what you were all about. Good luck in the contest!
as i insist with pk, if you have a placard placed on a bedroom reserved in my name of your estate, i shall visit you.
I will visit you no matter what. Just amke sure that those kids aren’t serving up dirt when I get there. I don’t like eating mud.
