Verification Words are so Funny

I was commenting on various blogs this morning and I couldn't stop laughing at the verification words. I think I may start adding them in at the end of my comments for some flava. So, if there's some random stuff in my comments, please disregard, it's for my own amusement. Yep, that's all this post is about.

Post 400!

This year The Academy Awards were brutal. Nobody that participated in our ballot competition got even half right. The King's Speech and Inception both won 4 awards, The Social Network won 3 awards, and The Fighter, Alice in Wonderland, and Toy Story 3 all won 2. Very spread out year for awards!

So, I guess you're wondering who won?? Well, none of the previous winners did, that's for sure. :( Here are the results:

Bryan AND Kelsey are the WINNERS with 14 right answers. (I was going to say 14 right guesses, but that's kind of mean.)
Jake AND Justin had 12 right answers.
Jesse had 11 right answers.
Dad Laws and Michael had 10 right answers.
Amelia and Brent had 9 right answers.

Until next year! And, I would just like to say that, apparently, seeing the movies and knowing a lot about them doesn't do jack.

The Academy Awards are today!

So get your ballots in asap! There is a link to my left to one, or you can google "Academy Awards Ballot." You have until 6:30 p.m. so hustle!

Academy Awards

Hey all you peeps, the Academy Awards are on the 27th of this month. Everybody needs to fill out a ballot and email to me or Jesse. This is the 4th annual Academy Award competition and this year is the most wide open awards race in recent memory so everybody has an equal shot. Jake, Jesse, and myself are looking to be the first two time winners of this here competition and Jake is looking to be the first back to back winner. Who will it be? Like I said, the race this year is wide open, so no matter how much movie knowledge you have or don't, you could very easily win. And everybody means you too Aundria (?), you aren't getting out of this. Everybody send us your picks and then watch the awards on ABC on Feb. 27th. Lets make this year awesome. I can't wait.
