IS IT TIME FOR ANOTHER CONTEST? Yes. Yes it is. This one was suggested a while ago by Dave Tepper. We’ll see if it gets a good response, or if I’m the only one who actually likes these contests!

Dave writes: I call this one “Guess Who, Don’t Sue.” You know those blind items of celebrity gossip that you find in women’s magazines and tabloids? Encourage people to make up totally false rumors (make sure that’s clear up-front, that it’s all in fun) about Blogosphere all-stars.

For example:

You’d think this blogger would be in Heaven after spending a hot and heavy weekend with a supermodel in Miami Beach. But he’s in for a rude awakening; his long-suffering girlfriend has found out about his shenanigans, and their relationship is in jeopardy. No longer content to stay at home while he alleycats around, she is promising an

apocalypse when he gets back from his “business vacation.”

“Awakening” and “Apocalypse,” of course, would point to “Wake Me Up on Judgment Day” [the old name of Tepper’s blog–ed.]. The contest could be in two parts. One for best blind item (the more outrageous the gossip and the cleverer the clues are woven in, the better [note the “Jeopardy!” reference in Dave’s; he really did win on Jeopardy!–ed.]), and one for whoever guesses the most correctly.
