Thank Yee, Lisa Yee
Sooooooo-wwweeeeeeet!

That's me, a humble finalist winner out of the thousands of entries in the Lisa Yee Bodacious Title Contest:

The rule was to take a title of a children's book, change 2 letters of the title to form a new title, and blurb the re-invented book.

This entry (mine) took a coveted finalist spot:

Original Title: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Revised Title: The Furious Incident of the Hog in the Night-Time

Blurb: An angry young man tries to put lipstick on a disgruntled pig

I don't mind the old adage "Always a Finalist, Never The Bride" (well, not this time and not against this competition). Thanks for letting us play, Lisa! Thanks to uber-talented judges Adam Rex and Mark Teague for making me a legitimate woman today.

You know, you can put a finalist tag on an entry but it's still just a finalist. Hmm. Hands off, Palin. I'm saving THAT one for the 2012 campaign!

Yeah well... Aw... stop. No, don't. Okay. You're making me smile.

The winner was the very funny David LaRochelle. His made me laugh too.

But I like your thinking...
so I vote Boreal Owl as one of the judges for the next
Lisa Yee Bodacious Title Contest.

(Not that I want special favors or anything...) ;>

Thanks!

Hello my Almost Birthday Girl! I was just thinking about you! My anniversary is this Wednesday as well. I love that we celebrate these days and this life together. {} Are you revealing your age yet or have you gone into lock box mode? {}

Thank you for the love. AS ALWAYS.

What are you doing for November 12th?
