Yeah. You both win. I'm just too nice. Congratulations!

Hooray Lily and Connor!

I'm going to post this screenshot in the Hall of Fame.

(If you winners want me to promote your obscure Twitter account or your website dedicated to curly noodles or some other personal thing with a URL, please leave a comment with the link. I take a look and consider putting your link in the caption of the screenshot in the Hall of Fame. Then it will look like...

Hooray for Winner one @ twitter.com/obsucretwitteraccount and Winner two @ curlynoodlesforever.com !

Okay, thanks, bye!)

Modern Art Contest Notice

So far only Lily and Connor have entered my contest. If more people do not enter, I will only have two choices, and the person who does not win will feel sad because there is no one to lose with. I am looking for a third contestant! Actually, the more the better. If you would like to participate, click this link.

Modern Art Contest! Part 1

GM, Connor, and I all enjoy making fun of extremely simplistic "modern art" from time to time. You know, those paintings of dots or sculptures of squiggly lines that somehow cost more than a car. (I'm not saying I hate it, but it only makes the tiniest bit of sense to me.) Anyway, we like to name random pieces of stuff and gush over them in a sarcastic manner. Now it's your turn!

Here's a piece of "modern art" I created on MS Paint:

In the comments, please give it a name and, if you wish, gush over it in a sarcastic manner.
I will choose my favorite comment from below, frame it, and put it on the page "Comments Hall of Fame," which I will create someday.

Deadline: Ummm, I'll have to think about that. I don't know...
Part 2 may or may not be up by next week.

No 8888, No Guest Authors

The title is self explanatory.

7777

I did not get 7777. However, when I logged in today, the dashboard read "7777 pageviews." This means whoever viewed the blog right before I logged on had was the 7777th viewer. I guess we'll just wait for the next one!
Wait, actually, I'm uncertain if there will be a "next one." If there is, I don't know if it will be 8888 or 10000...

Anyway, screenshot.

Blog Stuff Again

I tried to restore peace to the blog by making the whole template look somewhat like before, but someone undid my 5-15 minutes of work... Then I thought about the blog description. It's a little, well, non-descriptive to me. As a lover of quotes I feel it would be great to find a suitable quote to add to the beginning of the blog description, an epigraph almost.
If anyone can suggest some quotes that somewhat capture the essence of the blog, I would much appreciate it! Who knows? I might even use it. (assuming N and GM don't object)

P.S. I have this feeling that no one will reply ,something that happened with several other contest type things....

Viewer Contest Update

Update
There will be a contest for 7777, 8888, 9999, 10000, 11111, 22222, 33333, etc.
The prize will be 21 days of authorship or a Ask Wendy guest author since *cough*Alex and Connor *cough* never did it

Should Alec Be An Author?

Alec hasn't posted anything for a long time.
This goes against the Why Not? authorship requirement of posting often.
   So, should Alec be removed from the Why Not team?
RF and I liked Alec's posts because he was so narcissistic and arrogant. That made the post funny.

But, Alec is very lazy. 90% of the time I am on the Internet, Alec is on too. However, he doesn't bother to post at all during that time.


Should Alec be an author? What do you think?



Also, I would have told you who won the Authorship contest, but N hacked into Wendy's account and locked everyone but himself out of it. Therefore, I could not read the contest entries, so if you want to be a part of the Why Not? team make sure N changes the password back.

Somewhat Update

First of all, a guy with a long last name who goes to our school claims to have followed.
We used to have 8 followers...
Now we have......

Still 8 as of 3:57 pm on 12/13/12
Maybe he is following by email instead? Eh

Also, there will be a 5555 contest as expected.
Oh, N returned as well.

Page views

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Someone was 4444 and they did not claim the prize.
Now it is on 4474

It is wierd because i got 1111 and 3333
but not 4444 so i will probably get 5555

Surprise!

So, in the poll that asked what the special prize for the 3333 contest was, most people chose "surprise!" Since N won, I guess he should get a surprise. But, I am not sure what should be given. I'll try to think of something and give it to N on Tuesday.

Poll closed

The burning ice cube won the logo contest
rf won

that is the official logo for our websites, g+ page and twitter page

Only Submission =(

This is Connor's submission, sadly also the only submission unless you count my design. Come on, people! Enter the logo contest!

Update- Well, N sent me two now.

A Post A Lot Like GM's

No one has entered my blog logo contest... Is there a reason? You can find setails under the "Contests" tab.  If you win, we'll use your picture as our profile picture on whatever accounts we end up making for the blog. Send them to Wendy- wendysmithwendysmith@gmail.com Yes, Wendy approved the use of her email.

While you're at it, enter GM's contest too!

No contest participants?!

No contest participants?!

For some reason, nobody has participated in any one of the contests. For obvious reasons, no one has participated in the 2222 contest, but for a not-so-obvious reason no one has participated in the guess-GM's-favorite game-contest. Lots of people are just saying "I REALLY, REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO WENDY IS!!!!!" or "LET ME BE PART OF WHY NOT!!!!!!!!!!"

Well, if you really want to know who Wendy is, do the contest! We won't tell you just because you ask.

On the subject of contests, "be an author for Why Not" won the poll. Unfortunately, we will probably have to do the poll again. All of the Why Not team members except for "Alec" have agreed that "be an author for Why Not" will not be the grand prize. Why? Because we think that authors should not be chosen by luck. Most of the Why Not team agrees that we should only choose authors based on a few requirements:

Requirements for Authorship at Why Not

1. The person must be a friend of a Why Not team member. Or at least an acquaintance of a Why Not team member.
2. You must write appropriate posts that are at least 2% understandable.
3. You can not write in text language or overuse capital letters and/or exclamation points.(limit 232 exclamation points or capital letters in or after a sentence)
4. Person cannot be too lazy( example: writes less than one post a month)

5. Show at least some insanity or any other quality Why Not could use.  
6. Knows enough math ( at very least should know how to find area of rectangle)

Optional Requirements 
( It is recommended that you fulfill as many of these as you can, since we will consider your application more seriously if you do.)
1. Play an instrument( Must be an instrument that is not too simple; too simple instruments include: percussion instruments even kindergartners can play, recorder, any unpitched instrument, etc.) The person must also be able to play at least one scale on the instrument.
Actually, that's the only optional requirement.

You may have noticed that I mentioned "application" twice. That's because there is a new contest. If you want to be a Why Not team member, write an example post and say what instrument you play, if you play one. Then you can email the application to Wendy. (Yes, Wendy has agreed to let me use her email.)


Email Wendy at wendysmithwendysmith@gmail.com

Update: Don't leave your applications in the comments anymore. All of the applications in the comments are a bit too short.

we are getting near page view number 2222

Contest!

About a day ago, I released a clue about Wendy's true identity. In the comments, RF asked where I got "'Nuff" from. I told RF that it was from my favorite computer game. I also said that I'd give another clue about Wendy's true identity to the person who correctly guesses what it is. So, if you think you know or really, really want to know who Wendy is, leave your answer and email address  in the comments.


Update: Apparently, everyone thinks Wendy is a computer program, so they aren't participating. Well, I'll just say that the Wendy-Real-or-Not post is untrue. 

Blog Logo/ Icon

I posted this a while ago as a possible blog button/icon/logo/whatever. Since we finally have a final blog name, I think we should work on getting a final design.
Comment with your suggestions! (It doesn't have to be anything like the picture above.)
