A Tinger of One's Own

Readers!  Hello!  And welcome to the second installment of, "Tinger's Corner: Perspectives From Down Below by a Finger-Length Toe."  


It is my distinct pleasure to announce our very first "The Nan Stop" Raffle, to celebrate hitting TEN faithful readers this week!!  (See right-hand column of 5 friendly reader photos, and 5 ghostly blank heads.)  


So what's this drawing all about?  And what are the possible winnings, you ask?  Great questions!  Please see the title of this blog entry for a clue about the prize!  (That's all I'll say about that part.)  But in addition to the mysterious Tinger prize, Nania will also dedicate an entire blog entry to you!   


All you need to do to enter is become a Faithful Reader before the morning of the drawing!  (Yes, this is a marketing ploy.  Let's just come out and say it.  But, a writer needs readership... it keeps them motivated and plucky!)  On Friday, September 24th,  Gordon LaChance and I will put all of your names into my blue hat.  (See below.)

And then... I will reach into my hat with the tip of my tinger.... and select a winner!   The announcement will be on Friday morning... and  your personalized post will appear sometime in that following week.  

Right now, the contestants are...(see photo to the left.)


Anticipated Questions:
1. How will I receive the prize?  And when?
Answer: In the mail, at no cost to you!  It will arrive approximately 7 days after the drawing.


2.  Is it edible?
Answer: I'm sorry.  No.  Next question.


3.  I see that Nania's fiance, Aaron, is one of the contestants.  Will he somehow have an advantage in this drawing?
Answer: Let's look at this the right way, folks.  Of all the contestants, Aaron likely gets the most exposure to me and thus, has no reason to want or need special consideration in this contest.  He will be given equal treatment.


4. Tinger, what is your gender?  Are you a female toe, as you are attached to a female foot?
Answer: Um.  I don't see what this has to do with the contest.  But I'm actually transgendered.  In my case, this means that most of the time, I'm female.  But when I'm in a "male" mood or want to wear a masculine hat -- I switch.  Sometimes Nania refers to me as "she" and other times "he."  The Nan Stop is a highly tolerant and open-minded place where all are welcome and should feel comfortable.  So hopefully, my transgendered revelation will promote such harmony and peace here! 


5. How do I become one of the Faithful Readers?
Answer: Now we're back on track!  Excellent question!  Let me have Gordon LaChance answer this, as it was previously addressed in his first blog:

Oh my, read-uhs!!  Gordon here!  I knew dis cawntest was right around the cor-nuh.  I'm so filled wid excitement, my yolks might burst!   To answer your excellent question about subscribin' to dis blawg: Use the "Follow" button dat has the liddle Google icon on it --- ov-uh there on da right... and your Google Pic will be featured as a "Faithful Read-uh."  You can sign up usin' your Gmail account or blawgspot account, I tink.  
Note: Nania has made the settings such that you will NOT get bombaaaded with emails from dis site... no updates on others' comments, no advertisin' from Blawgspot.... just our daily posts deliv-uhed right tuh yuh inbox!  Easy as dat!  Can't wait for da drawin'!  Good luck to you awl!  Over and out! 
-Gordon LaChance


Good luck, everyone!! Until next time!
