Firstly, I want to congratulate fancyfree on a fine win in the recent FriendFinder Success Stories Contest! I'm sure those golden balls will suit her down to the ground (if you know what I mean). I would also like to thank everyone who voted for my entry. Despite gaining the second highest number of votes (49 to fancyfree's 52), the judges have decided that my entry is invalid. Sadly, there will be no t-shirt winging its way to sunny Spain. Toneboney was also stripped of a potential tied second or third place (depending on potential disqualifications), and I extend him my sympathies. The meaning of "success" in this success story competition, I've just realised, is showing how successful friendfinder is, not how successful we have been in making friends and having them vote for us. I'm going off for a cry now. Back later. |

wanna beer? and a few good cliches to go with it? (my keyboard doesn't allow for the accent over the e--alas!--there's a cliche there somewhere) Wishing you happiness Misty

Gower awwww I didn't think it worked like that. I thought the votes were what mattered. And to think you really only wanted the T-shirt anyway.  Well you are in luck - I will send you mine after I wear it once to give it F-cups so you will think of me when you wear it   Now come here and rest your head on my F cups and cry there.

5/13/2008 7:41 am |
shame I was not online, vote for my friends everytime because sucess for me is all the friends I now know purely because of being online  thanks for reading and as per Dave Allen "May your God go with you"

5/13/2008 7:56 am |
I'm sorry, as I think you and Tone deserve the second and third prize. The votes speak everything. The exposure of reality might read shocking, but sometimes that's just what life is. It's a pity that the judges just refused to admit it. If it is a "failure", this is at least a respected one. Want a handkerchief? Agnes

Awwww...don't cry...you did REALLY well, but it is great news that Natalie won, she deserved it...don't you agree...???....and you are right what you say...it is really about 'us' and the friends we have made...now get the kleenex out and wipe away those....'tears'...hehehehe

GB are you going to stop changing? I can't decide how you look like! Now you look like one of those singers ... you know, those young boy bands 
| ||
5/13/2008 8:24 am |
that's too bad gowerboy, you are not a bad writer either. I would of voted for you, had I been voting. I think this site is a cliché anyway. you need a new keyboard then Misty, if you cannot do the accents. They actually sent you a t-shirt? Not a virtual t-shirt? LOL Amazing.
| ||
5/13/2008 9:00 am |
There, there, here's another jar of marmite to make you feel better. Seriously though, I'm ticked you guys got disqualified--I mean, I voted for you and Tone and Balty, too! I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.
| ||
5/13/2008 9:16 am |
Of course i would have won if my entry hadn't been disqualified .Well done for coming second out of three contenders.

That's pants. So basically you are expected to suck up to them in order to qualify? Nat, tell us your secret! It must be the F cups. LOL, j/k, chickie. Well, would offer you a pint so you can cry into it. But fresh out here. I remember why I hate this place. In the immortal words from 6th Sense ... I see stupid people.

(my keyboard doesn't allow for the accent over the e--alas!--there's a cliche there somewhere) *he says, crying a little into his beer* you know what they say about the school of hard knocks, well I'm a graduate from the university of life see, and you can't teach an old dog new tricks as my old gran used to say as I tried to teach her to suck eggs. *hiccup*

A t-shirt with inbuilt F cups...cool...I'll have somewhere to keep my sandwiches when I forget my satchel. If I rest my head there, will I ever be able to get it out again?

| ||
5/13/2008 10:32 am |
LOL It was a close race between you both... Why oh why did I vote for FF Cups as well as you. Thanks for letting me know I got Disqualified....FF didn't ha! Tone.

Being the snivelling whiny little turd that I am, I wrote them a polite note asking for the reasons for the late disqualification. I'll let you know the reply if either of us are still alive by the time it arrives. Out of pints! That's worse than out of pants...or is it? (is it time to go home yet?)
| ||
5/13/2008 10:41 am |
OH oh! I have already disqualified myself from the recipe contest even before it begins! Well...NOW I don't feel so bad about you and fancyfree leaving me in the dust on the "Success Story". I would have been disqualified anyway! TAKEN it yet? Yes or No? ( )

We're mourning your loss over here in Canada...Swear! heads are down, tuques are pulled low...we thought you had it! There's an appeal lodged with the stewards, but things aren't looking good. Careful you don't pull the tuques too low, you might walk into a bear by mistake.

5/13/2008 1:23 pm |
The only success I see happening with FF for me would be if they approved my credit card. However, I'm fighting the urge to give them the number. They simply want too darn much for too darn long! I mean, if the site is soooo successful, how come I have to sign up for 18 months to get the price cut?
| ||
5/13/2008 4:47 pm |
We know that when push comes to shove your beer off the table, it's time to cry like a baby into the spilled milk. Wishing you happiness Misty

The fun is not in the 'winning' but how much fun you put in participating. So stop that whining boy It's nice to be insane when No one is looking

I'll let you know the reply if either of us are still alive by the time it arrives. Out of pints! That's worse than out of pants...or is it? (is it time to go home yet?) So you still do not really know the reason for the disqualification? Seeing how they did not really respond to Uni's constant identity denial, you may be right that we shall all be dust in the wind before they give you an answer. I am supposedly "home". I swear if things go the way I want I relocating base camp ... again. MM knows how much I hate this place. The moment I stepped off the plane and heard the rude babble of loud, vulgar language, I wanted to turn back and take the next flight out. Would have relocated last year if I had not been so busy. In the immortal words from 6th Sense ... I see stupid people.

Would have relocated last year if I had not been so busy. for somewhere else to live too. No idea why Tone and I were ignored in the final count. Just too funny for our own good I suppose. Lived in a lot of places, have you? (if shorter, you may leave a list of places where you haven't lived).

Yep, I know how much she hates Hongkietown. *Cue Funkytown music* of mine who currently works in HK. We exchanged email addresses and I now have another piece of floor in another part of the world to sleep on should the need ever arise. My uncle was also stationed there with the RAF during the handover. He didn't get to attend the party, he had to watch the bags.

| ||
5/14/2008 12:13 pm |
Take That or Westlife? This is important, your life depends upon it. (do we ever stop changing, though? do we? really?) *hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmssssssssss philosophically*

5/14/2008 4:33 pm |
Dude, the list of places I have not lived is longer than the list of places I have! The world is such a big place. Like I have not lived in Spain, or Russia, or the Netherlands, not the Philippines ... For all we know, you might actually like Hongkietown. Lots of FILGTHK do. Not that you are a FILGTHK. In the immortal words from 6th Sense ... I see stupid people.
| ||
5/14/2008 9:16 pm |
That fancypantsylady was firm favourite from the start, indubitably. What gets my goat is the unexplained late disqualification of myself and Mr Tone. Thank you for your support

5/15/2008 1:42 am |
I blew my nose off??!! omigoodness How will I smell? (all together now) As bad as ever! the oh-so-predictable reaction of somebody who has just been told to get rid of his nose. so anyways, are you feeling better now? Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional
| ||
5/15/2008 3:01 am |
bad luck, i got here in time to vote for you, but it didn't do much good, lol. As for being disqualified...Shouldn't they do that when the item is posted instead of leaving it there for everyone to vote on. FF are very strange Blog Muse2u

What does FILGTHK mean? (I came up with a few alternatives but I made myself laugh too much). 2. If you're going to call me "dude", I'm going to call you "love", alright love?

5/15/2008 7:55 am |
I honestly don't understand the ways of the FF governing policy. The disqualification of anyone, is really absurd when you think about it. This is a community of friends. The activity in that contest was made up of a group of people that are friends with each other....to me it was stupid of them to give you and Tone the boot. However I am sure Mz.fancypanstylady will take good care of that golden ball of hers... It was just, I had this dream, that with my special golden ball I could email everybody on ff, and tell them how much I loved them and how much they meant to me, and that for a very small sum I would send emails on their behalf to the ff member of their choice. Yes, I was going to prostitute myself and my ball, but now that beautiful dream lies in tatters.
| ||
5/15/2008 7:56 am |
I just knew it. the oh-so-predictable reaction of somebody who has just been told to get rid of his nose. so anyways, are you feeling better now? Don't know what I'm going to do with this acceptance speech I had prepared though.

Well Gower you guys were certainly robbed of your balls now weren't you Sorry to see that!!! Pisses me off but what is one to do? Congrats anyway...you were #2. I was hoping to see the sparks fly when you, Fancy and Tone got together Maybe next time right?   Expect The Unexpected

What narks me is that if they were going to disqualify them, why not do it weeks ago and give us a chance (if we wanted it) to write another "more appropriate" story? A respectful failure...I like that. You do have a way with words, Agnes...and a handkerchief would be lovely, thank you. (er...will you be wanting it back?) Take great care! Will be soon back to exercise my mind here! BTW, thanks for the detailed explanation about Mook. Am waiting for his next adventure! Agnes

Will be wanting it back some day.But I want it clean and without that smell of Marmite. Take great care! Will be soon back to exercise my mind here! BTW, thanks for the detailed explanation about Mook. Am waiting for his next adventure! I'll be sure and let you know. I think I'd better buy you another handkerchief. Take care, Agnes
