I am trying to visit the Maker's Mark distillery tomorrow as I head toward Nashville to speak later this week. If I am able to make it there, I will be purchasing two bottles of Kentucky bourbon whisky and hand dipping them myself. One bottle is mine because after all, AG gets her drink on from time to time and it's good for luring PhDs with southern accents into my world. The other bottle can be won by those 21 years of age and older and all the other legal risks that come with accepting and consuming alcoholic beverages. (Brandeis continues to reduce my chances of y'all taking my land in a court case!)
Here's the contest deal: I have been asked to play a critical role in the bioethics debate currently ongoing in Washington and across this great nation. I will be writing about the reproductive debate in and how it has been shaped politically, what this means for women, and what the true results are now and in the future. I will need a blog title and slogan. The best title and slogan will win the Maker's Mark. Get witty, get crazy, and take no prisoners!
The rules:
1. You may enter as many times as possible through 15 October 2009.
2. A winner will be determined by Brandeis and one of his Facebook friends, selected by him and approved by AG. (That means KPP is out.)
3. If you win, you must be 21 years of age or older, drink responsibility, and accept the gift of your own free will and legal responsibility once it has been placed in your hot little hands.
4. You must be willing to arrange for delivery of your gift. In other words, Fish should not enter unless he's willing to meet Chuckles or some other DC area blogger. AG will spare Mrs. Dr. Fish the divorce if he met AG. (Fish, still enter!)(AG is not as AG in person so do not be scared. I've been told of this by many and those who would say otherwise are RLAs who aren't worth the DNA excised for them.)
5. I don't want to hear about who hit who, who cheated by sleeping with the Rude Pundit for ideas (That's AG's employment for the month), or whatever crying games you dream up about who wins and who loses. Kindergarten rules will apply.
6. Internet traditions except for those noted in 5 apply liberally.
7. The submission must be your own original work.
8. Extra points will be granted to single, Jewish, doctors or doctorate contestants that are schtup worthy.
9. Extra points will be granted if #8's parents are deceased. (With all due respect given to those who have lost their parents, I have suffered enough with the in-law game over the course of this lifetime.) Goyim will be consider if they are easy on the eyes and witty. AG is looking at MdH!
10. Why are you still reading? Get your creative juices flowing.
11. Maker's Mark is not sponsoring this contest. They are welcome to do so, however.

Too many rules. Fuck it, I'll go buy my own bottle.
ReplyDeletefish hit me.
ReplyDeleteAw, Von! I'll pick you up one for your birthday. This will however mean that I need to visit Chicago.
ReplyDeleteYou really do lead the life.
ReplyDeleteJack, not a bad start for an entry!
ReplyDeleteHe got me drunk. And I had never been with a zombie before.
ReplyDeleteThe best title and slogan will win the Maker's Mark. Get witty, get crazy, and take no prisoners!
ReplyDeleteGame. On. Here is my first entry...
"Bioethics are for Pussies"
Yeah...even I cringed(but you asked for it)...
LoL @ Elmo. He's the only one AG lets slide with the isms. I <3 E-dude.

ReplyDeleteBrando is clever.
I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhere are Snag and K-Unit? She gave up bourbon while pregnant. Doesn't she want it to enjoy when she stops nursing?
Brando wins. Or your judges have no brainz. Perhaps a Zombie ate them?
ReplyDeleteBirthday? Why yes, AG< thanks for mentioning it, it is ONLY 1 month and 4 days away, so y'all should be shopping already......
I will accept Maker's Mark.....
Von, we still may have more folks enter with the clever. It could get interesting here. I'll get y'all a bottle if Ed's Appliance comes by. The real Ed! Not some psuedo Googlebot. (I swear, we have a Googlebot. I have evidence of it on our site meter page.)
ReplyDeleteBrandeis and, I suspect The Beau Jr. owner, who'll I'll also now have to by a bottle for I suspect, will determine a winner. It's out of my hands. The masses can all start hating on them now. Aaah, the joys of internets contests.
I got your birthday covered. I know it even without cheating on FB. Speaking of which, Shannon has a birthday coming up too! I will have to mail a dual package. I have something I owe you both from a while back plus your birthdays. Stay tuned!
we have a site meter page?
ReplyDeleteZRM, do we not talk at night? Is this what our marriage has become?
ReplyDeleteYes. We do.
Also AG is the Queen of this Empire, in case that was in question as well.

ReplyDelete"Fertile Ground"
ReplyDeleteLeave the whiskey in locker 17a Port Luggage Station, Corpus Christie labelled "For Manuel".
"YouTerus", with something like the YouTube logo but in the shape of a, well, uterus. And Chuckles can have the Maker's Mark, but he must promise not to be a choad and stand me up again on our next man-date time and location TBD. Otherwise it can go to the zombie.
ReplyDeleteOr you could go full on Serious Prep School and use De libertatibus mulierum (on the liberties of women).
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteKiwi, I am happy to come to NZ!
Mandos, if you win we can discuss something that appeals to your winnings pleasures. (Shut it, y'all!)
I like presents. Yes, Shannon's is a few weeks after mine.
ReplyDelete"Do You Need Permission to Turn Your Head and Cough?"
ReplyDeleteI will happily transverse our great nation for that bottle.
Pfft, subtle (yes, bring it!), and how do you transverse a nation?
ReplyDeleteOn the same lines as YouTerus, "Putting the You in Uterus."
how do you transverse a nation with a bloody big scalpel.
ReplyDeleteAnother entry: FUBB (Fucked Up Beyond Belief).
"Womb with a view?" Or is that too objectifying?
ReplyDeleteMenDee, I wrote that one down the other night. Great minds think alike...
ReplyDeleteNow, can you figure out the tag line that AG had with it?
Unfortunately Womb With A View is the title of an anti-abortion comic book in the Umbert The Unborn series that really needs a whole blog to mock.
ReplyDeleteRats. I was going to add "Out of control. Your control." as the tag line.
