The UnMighty with, “The Orphans”
Now, you’re probably thinking that it doesn’t seem fair that I won my own competition And you’re right, it’s not fair, but that’s life – an ongoing barrage of crappy unfairness – one bitter smack in the face after another – a big stinking, heaping turd on your dinner plate and nothing to wash it down with – failure, rejection, disappointment, frustration, infection, disease, pimples on your back, and then… you die. So stop whining. I’m not your mamma, and I’m not going to make it all better. I’m not going to comfort you in my bosom and stuff your whining, contorted face with milk and cookies to make you feel okay about sucking. If you wanted to win so badly then maybe you should have brought your “A” game, made an effort, and delivered the goods. Sorry… loser.
Hmmph.
Geez.
Hey.
Hey, c’mon back.
You know what, maybe I got a little carried away. Yeah, I shouldn’t have said all those things. Even if some of them are true, it’s not my place. I guess I just have a pessimistic outlook on life because, well, because I’m an Orphan. You know what, come to think of it, you did a really good job. You all did. So, here’s what I’m going to do. I’m not going to give out just one pair of free tickets. I’m going to give a pair of free tickets to all the runners up that made our “possibilities” list. Would that make you feel a little better? Yeah, thought so.
And the runners up are…
Randy with, “Sideshow”
Jake Titus with, “Tom & I”
Jewels with, “Band O’ Brothers”
Steff with, “Drum Roll Please”
Salt H2O with, “Stale Twinkies”
An honorable mention goes to…
Rebecca with “Reatards” (Your reference to our good friend Kara was not missed. Thank you for that.)
A dishonorable mention goes to…
Bringhursts with “The Quinn Brothers”
Congratulations to you all (except the Bringhursts). You’ve all just won 2 tickets to The Orphans show happening Wednesday, Sept. 3rd, 8 pm in the Ragan Theater at UVU. You will find your tickets at Will Call under the names you used above. See you there.
If you were one of the winners, stop reading now.
(hey everyone else. the show is free for everybody. it’s going to be filmed and it’s imperative that the theater is full. please come, bring some palsy’s, and act like it’s good. thanks.)
(I need to turn The Quinn Bros My Space page to The Orphans My Space page without losing content, or friends, etc. I'll give 2 backstage passes to anyone who can tell me how to move all the content of a My Space page to a new My Space account. If you know how to do this, Email me at the email provided in my profile and we'll be best friends forever.)

The game's over already? I vote for "Pat's Left Out".
I'm coming to that damn show wearing my Quinn Brothers t-shirt.
"Fenetics" it is then- Good choice!
Did you ever notice that palsy (a "hip" term for your "radical" friends) is the same word as palsy (a debilitating physical condition). When I read your last comment on bringing palsys out to the show, my immediate reaction was, "Ohhh... because people with palsy cheer loudly at unusual times--church meetings for example. They must want that for the video recording." I was already dialing my Special Olympics contacts when I realized you meant the other thing.
But you should really consider your options here.
Darn, I was on vacation so I missed the competition. I was going to suggest, "Champagne Enima" or "The Phrenologists." It's never too late to change your mind, you know.
Wait! What about ME?
Me, you know, the person who has been REALLY busy this week and didn't have TIME to submit my ideas? ME, who got all her friends to read this blog and told them how funny you were and now her FRIENDS are winning the contest instead of her? And now her FRIENDS get to go to the Orphans concert instead of her and cheer for a man they hardly know. It's not FAIR! What about ME? ME!!!!
(sniff)
What about me?
PS Steff I think your idea was the best.
Oh. Read about the free concert, Sheryl.
Got it.
I was going to suggest The UnMighty or Unmighty but I just read the post because I was on vacation.
Maybe when I rename my blog and you rename your band next year, we can just switch.
Hey! Stop linking to an internal entry in my blog, and start putting the top-level address -- just http://randytayler.livejournal.com, okay?
Freakin' honorable mention. I got YOUR honorable mention RIGHT HERE.
Which sounds vaguely like the awesome name I'm glad I DIDN'T give you -- "Your Name Here".
I still think "Diooyeee!" would have justified an honorable mention.
'Drum Roll Please' would have really rocked so hard. Its an announcement and a name but whatever floats your boat which come to think of it would also be a pretty rockin name for a band.
Do you know why I hate you? Because now my husband can turn ANY conversation into "why I need a motorcyle."
THIS is his genius plan: he sells his car, and uses the money to get a "starter" bike. All the leftover profits go towards the purchase of MY new car.
This all sounds great - but what the heck is he supposed to do come October when he's out a car? I told him he needs to ask you what YOUR plans are, come October...and Ben, if you EVEN KIND OF WANT TO STAY FRIENDS, you're going to say this...word for word:
"Although buying a bike seemed like a really good idea at the time, I now realize that I was only thinking of the present. It was a very impulsive thing to do, and I'm lucky that Kat still loves me."
I've lied for you....it's your turn.
Yay for me!
YEARS of friendship....gone.
Ben, it seems that I must make a decision that could affect my future as a father and a husband. The effect--there is no future. The decision--whether or not to save the earth one motorbike at a time. Melissa would tell you the price for freedom is "too expensive and dangerous". I, along with all you true Americans who believe in preserving what's most precious and sweet, would say that the price is somewhere between $4000-$5000. Is that really too much? Although my actions show otherwise, I am no Benedict Arnold. The day shall come when I shall grace the streets of Orem with my very own mobile chrome and studded leather, but sadly, today is not that day. I hope we can still be friends.
Way to go JEWELS! I forgot to leave mine. I surely should have won otherwise...
I read all of the comments (except for Rob's, 'cause it looked boring).
