			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The results came in on the <a href="http://hotbloggercalendar.com/2008/09/05/the-totals/">Hot Blogger Calendar</a> contest, and out of 34,234 entrants (which is about as high of a number as 128 to Rain Man), they chose the top twelve (12) vote-getters.  <strong>I was #17</strong> on the list.  Oh <em>way to go</em>, contest-runners.  Like you had to follow the rules <strong><em>this time</em></strong>?!?!?!?!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m thinking we should petition them to make an <strong>18-month calendar</strong>.  I mean, who uses 12-month calendars nowadays anyway, huh?  Don&#8217;t you need a calendar that spans into half of the following year?  Send your comments to the folks (<a href="http://momgenerations.com/blogs/jane/">Jane</a> and <a href="http://sarah-morgan.com/">Sarah</a>) and demand the public&#8217;s right to an 18-month calendar!  Go over to the <a href="http://hotbloggercalendar.com/2008/09/05/the-totals/">results blog post</a> and add a comment that says you want an 18-month calendar!</p>
<p>In the event they do <em>not </em>choose to make an 18-month calendar and include the great and powerful whall in their product, I have no choice but to take action.  I will now attempt to disqualify enough people ahead of me so that I place in the top 12.</p>
<p>Here are the top vote-getters, aka &#8220;the <a href="http://hotbloggercalendar.com/2008/09/05/the-totals/">final results</a>&#8220;:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://hotbloggercalendar.com/2008/09/05/the-totals/"><img class="aligncenter" title="Hot Blogger Calendar Results" src="http://whall.org/blog/files/hbc-results.jpg" alt="" width="219" height="384" /></a></p>
<p>Let me just be a little contradictory here and say, <em>those aren&#8217;t so final, haHA!  </em>Here&#8217;s how I figure it:</p>

<p>Yes – I got beat by Wesley Crusher.</p>
<p>So now that I&#8217;ve successfully disqualified enough people, that should put me squarely in the top 12.</p>
<p>YAY FOR ME!!!!</p>
<p>Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, [pause] thankyou, [bow], no, thankyou.  Thanx. Thank you.</p>
