July winner announced! Help needed!!!

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

As those faithful readers of the bbb know, in july our announced contest was for the best use of the name “Bill Budroe” on a blog posting. My attempt was to get my friend more recognition on the web. The results put us in a very difficult position. Of all the postings entering the contest the one we here at the bbb thought was best and most creative unfortunately misspelled Bill Budroe and Bill Budro! What should we do in a situation like that? Our goal is to get more web hits for bill – and this didn’t accomplish the goal, but it was so well done!

After many cups of coffee and a couple of long nights around the conference room at the bbb world headquarters we decided to go with our heart and recognize Chels182 as the winner of the July bbb contest. This of course causes us extra problems because we now need to prepare a bio of this Chels182 person, and frankly we don’t know much about her. For this contest winner – and hopefully for this contest winner only, we are asking for your help, loyal reader, does anyone know anything about this Chels182 person that we can publish?

Complete and Unabridged Biography of Shane Adams

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

As many of the remaining loyal readers of the bbb (or b3) know Mr. Shane Adams was determined to be the winner of the April Movie Trivia Contest. As part of that reward for winning we are featuring the following comprehensive biography.

Shane was born on December 23rd. We are not sure of the year but our best guess places the year in the late 1970’s. Although he could easily pass for someone born in 1980, we are pretty sure he was born in the 70’s because he is about the same age as my nephew Aaron and I think AJ was born in the 70’s maybe 76 or 77? Shane is the quintessential metro-sexual male (see photo below). We don’t really know what that means but we read it on his blog and think it might be true.

One of his many fine qualities is that he is ebulliently enthusiastic regarding life and the promises it presents. He rates most movies with 4 stars. He has a tattoo on one of his legs (could be the right, but if it’s not the right it’s the left for sure!). We think the tattoo may be one word like “courage” or “perseverance” or maybe it’s a drawing of a parrot pushing a shopping cart through Best Buy getting some cool stuff. (Actually the reason this biography is delayed is we were trying to get a glimpse of the tattoo so we could be perfectly accurate, but after my staff got a look it, there was a disagreement, so we decided to go to press without a final answer on this one small bit of information.)

Shane likes to wear hats (again, see photo); this might be part of the metro-sexual male thing. He also loves a good Chipolte Burrito. I guess it’s redundant to say a good Chipolte Burrito, because by definition all Chipolte Burritos are good, most are great. He is the creator of the Olathe Community of Christ webpage and is in charge of updating it.

Shane is married to the lovely and talented Alli. If she ever wins a monthly contest on the bbb we will feature her biography. Let me tell you this much, it will be a barnburner.

The winner of the April contest Revealed.

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

As you might remember, in April we held a Movie Trivia contest. The editors of the bbb would like to sincerely apologize for the delay in announcing the winner of this most prestigious contest. You’d think it would be easy, just go back and count. Unfortunately, their were some answers that were protested and we at the bbb were forced to make a decision.

AS an example someone accused Orval of cheating with all his Mae West answers, could be … we don’t really know. However, even if he hadn’t cheated he wouldn’t have had enough votes to win, so that really doesn’t matter.

The real problem and controversy came from the April 29th quote. after nearly a full month of debate among the staff at the bbb we discovered that the winner would have won even without this answer. – by the narrowest of margins (one point) we are happy to announce that Shane Adams is the winner of the April brad bobeche blog Movie Trivia contest – congratulations Shane.

AS the winner a full biography will be featured in an upcoming post on the bbb.

Please join me in congratulating Mr. Shane Adams.

May’s BBB contest

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

OK, I admit this is a little bit of a twist on the usual monthly contest we run here at the BBB. Please view this contest as an opportunity to help out the bbb staff.

Here’s the back story, P1, also known as Paul or Pablo is running a contest to name his new truck. (Please look at the details of his contest here. – but don’t respond on his blog) We would like to win, so please submit your best suggestions to us and we will submit them to Paul and claim authorship and win the contest.

The winner of our contest – if your suggestion wins Paul’s contest also will have their bio featured here on the bbb and be given a free ride in Paul’s new truck to anywhere in the USA they want – - if P1 agrees. Now I haven’t had a chance to talk to him about the free ride, so don’t get to focused on that part of the contest until I get final approval from him.

On a related note, there has been a challenge to last months contest, we hope to have everything finalized next week.
