Yesterday’s contest winner = Jaded!
AT 7:24AM PST there were 187 comments on yesterday’s post. I used the formula =randbetween(1,187) in Excel and got 173. Counting backwards from the end, because that seemed a whole lot easier than counting from the beginning I arrived at this comment:
It’s a winning comment anyway because it opines on the awesomeness that is Excel. What? I’m an Excel nerd and proud of it! Jaded, expect an email shortly.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
4 days left. 4 books left. 4 contests left. 4 winners yet to be found.

Tuesday: I hate you,
A worthless twenty-four hours.
The bane of my week.
The week of contests continues. Today’s game is pretty simple. Write a haiku (or two or five or twenty-five) in the comments about why you love or hate or don’t really feel one way or the other about Tuesday. The Royal Court will read every submission and pick the best. So, gives your best 5 / 7 / 5. Your best silly? Your best logical? Your best!
I, of course, have a well-reasoned argument that explains exactly how I feel about Tuesdays.
But, the question here is, how do you feel about Tuesdays?
Friday, it is not.
Like Monday has repeated.
Why am I still here?
Hahahah
Love it!
Yes, why isn’t it Friday? It should be Friday!
Tuesday in Charleston,
Snowpocalypse has cometh.
At work, I stay. Ugh.
Oh no! Stuck at work? That’s horrible.
You aren’t getting extra points for working in pocalypse… okay, maybe you are.
I better be! Haha – It isn’t even snowing yet but ALL the schools and government buildings are already shut down. Oh, Charleston!
sounds like the place to be…. well, except you still had to go to work.
Even The Cure stuck
Tuesday with Wednesday in song.
That says lots right there.
Hard to argue with The Cure! 😀
Tuesday is the worst.
Weekend is now far behind,
Long way still to go.
I like it. Straight to the point. Why, oh why oh why is the weekend so far away?
Second day of week
Is always good for me since
Tuesday is Friday
Must be nice! 😛 Then again, you work over the weekend so that seems less nice…
Well, after 16 years of the same schedule, I say I have redefined the weekend! 🙂
‘Til Tuesday sang songs.
Why would someone name a band
After such a day?
I have no idea! Worst band name ever!!
Come one and come all
To The Nest’s weekly feature
Retro Ad Tuesday!
Hah! Hey, no promotions here! This is all about me… and my book… and the other people who contributed to my book, who are all bloggers too, just like you… okay, I guess it can be about you too.
LOL… can I help it if I had a perfect Tuesday tie-in that also served as shameless self promotion! 😉
I know. I’d have done the same thing.
What was once a song
Is now just a restaurant
G’bye Ruby Tuesday
Still a song… Long live The Stones!
I love this one 🙂 The song and the salad bar at the restaurant.
“I’ll gladly pay you
Tuesday for a hamburger
Today!” says Wimpy
Bonus points for a Popeye reference!
Congrats to Jaded!
Ditto.
Fair-faced Tuesday’s child.
Red-faced cold, at work Tuesday.
It’s not ironic.
Love it! 😀
If the song is true,
And Tuesday’s gone with the wind,
Better bundle up.
It’s getting windy out there!
Didn’t think about including vortex until it was already sent!
these things happen. 😉
Tuesday is all blah
I have a cold yet I write
Haiku! Gesundheit.
Oh no!! I hope you feel better!
Tuesday sucks rat butt
That’s really all I’ve got
Cold has frozen thought
Oh no! I hope you warm up!
Summer is only
four more months away, that’s lots
of tuesdays to go…
Far too many.
I don’t think I can make it!
Tuesday afternoon.
Too many hours left this
Tuesday afternoon.
Still Tuesday morning here. I have more hours left than you. Ugh.
It’s not blue Monday
But no rubies here either
The wash must be done
The laundry always has to get done. I wish we could just wear stuff once and move on to the next outfit. Though, I like most of my outfits so I’ll just an infinite supply of them…
“Tuesday Afternoon”
What did the Moody Blues see
Timothy Leary?
Nice one!
Tuesday is a bore.
Wish we could write limericks
Because they’re fun too.
The week is still young. Maybe it will be Limerick Thursday?
Tuesday comes again.
My face rests on the desktop.
Three naps til weekend!
Ah, naps. That sounds heavenly. Where do I sign up for one of those?
Believe me, it’s not as good as it sounds.
Desks are uncomfortable.
And there’s no fabric to absorb the sleep-drool.
you could always put your arms down first, then put your head on your arms…
I was thinking of using a bunch of printed excel sheets. 😉
That would definitely work too. (And yes you get bonus points for mentioning Excel. :-P)
S. H. I. T. – not
Thursday is still afar
Gotta get through the Hump
Stupid hump day, keeping us from being that much closer to Thursday and then the weekend.
To blog on Tuesday
To win a book I must have
Oh dear I am f*cked
Hahahahaha
I’d have given you more bonus points if you had skipped the *. Not that I’m encouraging swearing, but, when it is deserved, you might as well go for it! 😉
Well, yours is more of a PG 13 blog than mine…
so, hence the *.
I do appreciate that. But, it would have been fine in this instance. That’s how much I loathe Tuesdays.
Would it have improved my chances of winning if I’d have cursed?
Fuck.
Hahaha, it might have, actually, yes. 😀 But, you just salvaged it. So, I think you are good.
Tuesday is jealous.
Wednesday has a cool catch phrase.
Tuesday gets no “Hump”.
Oh, twist. It’s not Blue Monday, it’s Green Tuesday?
Ain’t got no more time
Tuesday is calling to me
Get off the laptop
Okay, I gotta go get my chores done. Although I’d rather sit here and play all day. 😀
Have fun with your chores. We’ll be here all day so feel free to stop back in and play somewhere if you can.
Tuesday, ah, Tuesday.
Space day, rest day, retreat day
Quiet, free, Tuesday.
That does sound nice. How come my Tuesday isn’t that nice?
Because you’re in a Monday to Friday sort of life. Tuesday is our day off here and we work all the other days of the week. Sunday is a bit more relaxed, but on Tuesday, nothing happens. It can be bliss, but it can also be a bit lonely, as often there isn’t anyone around.
A day of solitude sounds pretty good to me.
Tuesday’s been canceled
‘Cause Tuesday’s gone with the wind
So go back to bed
Hooray! I’m going back to bed!
This Tuesday’s not bad
‘Cause Marvel won Tug Of War
Horray Team Marvel!
*Hooray Team Marvel!
… I hope you don’t deduct points for typos…
Nope, definitely don’t deduct points for tpyos. 😉
Hooray Team Marvel. But, yeah, sorry, it’s still a Tuesday. I’ll be happier about our victory when it is Wednesday already.
I’m writing hiakus
Subject: All about Tuesdays
Hope to win a book 😀
Gah! *haikus… I really, really hope you aren’t deducting points for typos… lol
again, nope, no worries, not even paying attention to all the tpyos going on. 😉
Hah! That’s a good one! 😀
Imagine all the
People counting on fingers
For Tuesday’s haiku
This is hilarious! 😀
I must admit that unremarkable man (my husband) started this one and then discarded it, and then I tweaked it some and finished it and, with his permission, posted it.
Glad you like it though. 🙂
One of my favorites.
🙂
Tuesday’s on fire
So break out the marshmallows
Let’s eat us some s’mores
Bonus point for mentioning s’mores!
I have a headache
Tuesdays – aren’t they terrible
Mostly I survive
Yes, they are terrible. Extremely. Hopefully both our headaches will be gone tomorrow.
Oh what fun said he
Dancing, laughing, the devil
created Tuesdays
This may be a winner. It’s definitely in contention. Well done.
I really like this one. And not just cause I’m married to unremarkable man and him winning this contest would be almost as good as me winning either. 😉
hahahahah
I didn’t know that!!!
And, yeah, your vote for his haiku is definitely not biased at all! 😛
Nope, not one bit. 😉 … Okay, maybe a little… 😛
This still is one of my favorites though. 🙂
I have no reason
and no rhyme. Just a haiku
for a book. Tuesday.
😀
Have haiku, will read
Win a free book on Tuesday?
Yes please, and thank you!
Really enjoying all of your haikus!
Who cares about them?
Waste of time and space. Mondays
are more popular.
We should start a petition to outlaw Tuesdays.
I will be thinking
In haikus for the rest of
Tuesday. One book, please?
Thinking in haikus is the way to go. You’re welcome.
It would be even better if I was thinking in haikus *and* was the proud new owner of an autographed copy of Fauxpocalypse… 😉 😀
Hahaha
I get it, you want a copy of the book. 😛
*gasp* How’d you know?! 😛 LOL
These contests have been really fun so far though, so even if I (or my husband) don’t win at all, it was still worth it to participate. 🙂
Hooray for happy participation!
I like Tuesdays some.
Sometimes not, it’s just a day
for me to live in.
Just another day. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. This one is in contintion for victory.
Tuesday means chili
Be glad you are not here to
smell my flatulence
Gross!
Funny!
Well played! 😀
Tuesday ends in Y
Tuesday’s just another day
Taunting me to…yeah.
Thanks DJ for the randomness!
Thanks for the silliness! 😀
Was that win based of my comment and your reply? Do I get SOME credit!
I wrote a comment.
But someone took my glory.
So now I am sad.
I don’t think it was based on your comment? Was it? Maybe?
Okay, it might have been. We apologize for the oversight. I’ll make sure you get credit in this morning’s post. And don’t be sad! Tuesday is over. It’s time to be happy again!
Again, late to the party! Regardless – I wouldn’t know a Haiku if it bit me on the ass!
This is a haiku
Five, seven, five syllables
Free from fanny taste.
