Y’all, I’m in need of a good laugh, and I’m betting that some of you could give me one. If you have been here before, you know how much I enjoy [tag]humor[/tag]. That’s why it’s time to revive
This Blog Blows My Dress Up Contest
It’s a [tag]writing contest[/tag], in case you are interested. If you are wondering about the title, when my Daddy got tickled about something, he said, “That just blows my dress up.” I’m not sure if that originated because of the famous incident with Marilyn Monroe’s dress blowing up above her waist in the movie Seven Year Itch, or not. But, that’s a family saying, and I like it. So, there you go.
I’m looking for a blog that “Blows My Dress Up.” I want you to give us a good laugh. As before, it won’t be my dress blowing up. My friend Jenny McB at J’s Thoughts and Musings has graciously agreed to judge the posts. Jen has a great sense of humor, and she has promised that she will not peek ahead of time and that she cannot be bribed.
I learned from my last attempt at having this contest, so I’m streamlining it this time. Instead of three entries, just send me one funny post you have written. There will be one winner.
As each entry is submitted, I will post links to the essays here in the order that I receive them, so the rest of the blogosphere can read them. The winner of the contest gets a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com. and a button, similar to the picture on this page, to post if they choose. Every contestant accepted will get a link on the page.
Here is what I seek: I’m looking for original humorous essays. Please do not send a post that is just a cartoon, or a joke. My judge will not see any pictures that you have posted with the essay. I want your writing. It can be on any topic you choose, but you have to keep it clean. I reserve the right to reject any entry if there is objectionable content or if it does not meet the above guidelines.
How do you enter?
1)Send me the permalink to one of your posts that you think are funny. It can be a new post that you have written for the contest or one from your archives. E-mail me. You can use “other” as the subject matter.
2)The Deadline is High Noon (Texas Time) on Saturday, June 16th.
3)Mention this contest and link to this post in either the new post you write to enter, or in a separate posting.
4)On June 18th, I will announce the winners. It’s time to start typing, y’all.

I am a golfer myself and I like to play whenever I get a chance.
A short while ago, a very good friend of mine told me about a great golfing equipment and accessories website that has discounted prices on all their products, same day shipping in most cases and there is no state sales tax, they are paying that.
So if any golfer here is ready to save some money on quality products at highly discounted prices, you might want to check out their site at; http://hoffmangolf.com
