Today’s Music: Billy Idol -Rebel Yell
I’ve competed in Trifecta. I’ve jumped off bridges. I’ve even danced naked in bars!
But I’ve never undertaken a real challenge.
Until now.
Yes, I’ve thrown my hat in the ring for Blogger Idol!
“But why, Guap? Why would you do that?” come the cries from the furthest corners of the blogosphere.
Two reasons:
1 – It sounds like it could be a lot of fun!
2 – Ginger Snaap twitter-shamed me into it.
Now I know many of you voted ofr Edward Hotspur, and I understand. I’ll probably vote for him too.
But there are 12 slots available for the competition.
So go in and vote one for the Guapper. I don’t know where I’ll be then. But I’ll know about it, and I’ll be happy.
Oh wait – I’ll be checking their comments. but yeah, I’ll be happy!
(Thanks for the full quote, Lisa.)
And while you’re voting, stick around and enter yourself too. There are great prizes, ranging from a Samsung Galaxy to kiddie Boogie Wipes!
You can also find their twitter and facebook links there too.
It could be fun. Y’all already have my vote as the coolest bloggers anyway!
Guapola 
You have my vote (under protest for your cruel dig at Justin G; whom I think you rightfully see as a rival for your claim to the magnificentest hair).
I have performed Rebel Yell in front of a vast audience of 200 people. I’ve also consumed Rebel Yell (the whiskey) with smaller groups.

ThanksSmak.
I used to resent Justin’s hair, but he just has the one look.
I have many, all based on which side of my face I sleep on.

I will go and check it out and of course Vote! I will sing Rebel yell as I am voting because that’s the multitasker that I am.
Dancing nakid in a bar did you get away with that or were you taken away? Just wondering.
Good Luck on the Blogger Idol :+)

First of all, I got stuck a little on the “danced naked in bars” part, but I’m sure that’s for another post.
Second of all, good luck

Whoops–pushed the “post comment” button before I was done. I was saying good luck!! But I know of a couple other bloggers competing, and I was under the impression that we don’t vote–that they have specific judges for it. I’ll have to go check it out. 🙂

I actually have no idea how it works.
but good luck to your friends, and I imagine they’ll post links for the lucky 12 so I can check them out!
