Taking a page from this man's blog, I am going to have a Blogalike Contest.
The rules are this:
Send me a blog entry written in the style of Faustus, M.D. The events and/or thoughts described need not be true to life, though they may be.
You must send me your entry by midnight on Wednesday, August 11. This gives you just over a week.
I'll post all the entries in addition to one of my own, and then you can all vote on which one you think I wrote.
I'll send a gift card for Powell's City of Books to the person who gets the highest number of votes, unless that person happens to be me, in which case I'll send a gift card to the person who gets the second-highest number of votes.
Then I will reveal the ugly truth and hope to escape the ensuing slaughter unscathed.
The great thing about this contest is that it both a) gives those of you who like a challenge something to do and b) feeds my ego.
Remember: midnight on Wednesday, August 11.

I don't know that I'll find anything to offer you as a contest entry, but I have to voice my respect for anyone who offers a Powell's gift certificate as a prize. That place is great! Marc and I enjoyed a stop at their city-block-long store last month when we were in Portland.

How are your cardio sculpt classes coming along?

I recently experienced an involuntary blogalike contest in which several bloggers ganged up on me to mock my writing. You are very smart to be so proactive.

Toddy, it was all because we love you.
I don't think I'm going to enter Faustus's contest, though. I'd have to learn too many big words.
