“Rock The Rock Chick’s World” Raffle

by Shelly Kneupper Tucker on August 28, 2007

Well, y’all we didn’t really “rock her world,” we just kept it from sliding out from under her. We tried everything we knew to do to get Jessica The Rock Chick on the A-List. Technorati is taking away her links faster than we can add them. My friend Harlekwin, at Boho Rhap, says it’s like trying to fill a leaky bucket. But, Jessica and I want to thank everybody who linked to her.

I promised a raffle, so even though we didn’t reach our goal, we shall have a raffle so you can WIN FABULOUS PRIZES!! Well, maybe I overstated it a bit. Maybe they are just OK prizes, but hey…it didn’t cost you anything to enter. It just took a little link love (and we should be giving that anyway!). You all got some link love back out of the deal.


Jessica compiled the list of folks who linked to Life is RANTastic according to Technorati records (and we all know how squirrelly Technorati is!):

  • Boho Rhap 9 raffle tickets
  • The Life of a School Bus Driver 4 raffle tickets
  • Tennessee Text Wrestling 1 raffle ticket
  • Buck Naked Politics 2 raffle tickets
  • Comedy Plus 6 raffle tickets
  • J’s Thoughts & Musings 2 raffle tickets
  • You Can’t Reason With Crazy 5 raffle tickets
  • Yellow Roses Garden 5 raffle tickets
  • Puss Reboots 2 raffle tickets
  • Fourier Analyst 1 raffle ticket
  • Philly Transplant 1 raffle ticket
  • Around The Island 1 raffle ticket
  • Vixen’s Den 3 raffle tickets
  • Ghent Fever 1 raffle ticket
  • Archshrk 6 raffle ticket
  • Who’s Yo Mama? 9 raffle tickets
  • D3 6 raffle tickets
  • Misty Dawn 3 raffle tickets
  • Jessica Morris 3 raffle tickets
  • PhotoJulia 1 raffle ticket
  • Tales From a Former Michigander 10 tickets
  • Candid Carina 1 raffle ticket
  • SusieJ 5 raffle tickets
  • Party of 5 5 raffle tickets

    The tickets were printed and cut.

    They were put into a hat.

    Not just any old hat! It was my Daddy’s top hat!

    I found a totally disinterested person to draw the tickets.

    He drew the tickets.

    AND THE WINNERS ARE:

  • A Deck of Elvis Playing Cards: Vixen’s Den
  • A set of Sudoku Books: Boho Rhap
  • A $10 Amazon Gift Certificate: Fourier Analyst
  • A $10 Amazon Gift Certificate: D3
  • So, there you have it people. Thank you ALL for helping support the Rock Chick. Jessica, you are on the [tag]A-list [/tag]as far as I’m concerned. Who cares about that stinkin’ Technorati?!

    Oh my oh my! I never win anything! I am soooo excited. I have always wanted a deck of Elvis playing cards!

    LOL! Vickie, it’s not much, and you NEVER wanted a deck of Elvis playing cards! But, you’ve got ‘em and may I say it’s well deserved :twisted: You are a sweetheart for helping me try to help Jessica. Thank you!~skt

    I must say, that is one disinterested person you found to draw the names. Glad to see my feedvertising worked at giving Jessica more links.

    :lol: I couldn’t have found anyone less interested. Especially at 5:30 in the morning! Thank you for your help in trying to get Jessica’s authority raised. I just wish it had worked. I appreciate YOU, though.~skt

    OK — what’s the point of technorait’s system if it’s flawed? Too, too, too bad.

    Jessica The Rock Chick August 28, 2007 at 11:40 am

    YAY to all the raffle winners! Mucho thanks for all the links everyone gave to me, too!!! Hopefully, we’ve at least plugged up the bottom of the bucket for the time being.

    Shelly, I love the pics in this post! Priceless!!!

    Well too bad we didn’t succeed… But why didn’t I get any raffle tickets – I liked to her at least twice! Oh well, I never win stuff anyhow…

    Comedy Plus August 28, 2007 at 12:26 pm

    What a great post. Congratulations to all the winners too. I just don’t think it’s right that Technorati takes linkage away. It’s just wrong. Have a great day Shelly. :)

    Harlekwin August 28, 2007 at 12:30 pm

    I won something?!? *Squee* I never win anything, but I can’t say that now, can I?

    Wow, that had to be the most disinterested person I’ve ever seen, but at least he was dressed for the importance of the occasion. The banana was a great touch.

    So, I just have to ask… what’s Sudoku? Can I use crayons or is it a new age Japanese philosophy?

    J. Lynne August 28, 2007 at 12:43 pm

    Oh, wow! I totally didn’t expect to win anything. And I’m really sorry to hear that we didn’t get her up to 500. That’s kind of why I stopped bothering with those linkage dealios — although I do kind of like the one that calls people a “Marauding Marsupial” in the ecosystem.

    I got my mom totally hooked on Sudoku. It’s like a Japanese math crossword puzzle. She’s so addicted that she kept having to replace the batteries in the electronic one I gave her too often that she just switched to pencil and paper.

    And I had Elvis playing cards before the Personal Organizer came to my house…

    Hmmmm…I’ll probably get something for my spoiled dog…Thanks!

    Well, I do thank you for participating. Tell me I am e-mailing the correct address for the Amazon gift cert! Jessica and I both thank you for helping us try in our lost cause against the Technorati monster.~skt

    yea yea raffles. Let me know when your giving out Powerball type prizes and then I might moan.

    Great idea Shell!

    Vixen August 28, 2007 at 7:55 pm

    Ha, I did too want a pack of Elvis playing cards. I remember when Elvis died, I called my Mom because I just knew…..and I was right she was crying like a baby (I think I was 16 or so).

    But on another note (a note on which I am too lazy to click to another entry) those squares from Vickie A. in Valley Center on the SAS update are mine. And even tho I could care less about Techorassie, I still want my link, lol.

    amanda August 28, 2007 at 7:55 pm

    whoa whoa whoa! i swear i told you that i added her on my blogroll and now i wasn’t even in the raffle to win anything!! ahhh, such is life. no big deal.

    to bad we didn’t get her to the a-list!! stupid technorati!

    Mo August 29, 2007 at 6:27 am

    LoL….I just gotta say, your guy looks as DISinterested as he could be!! Great pic – it started my day with a smile! :razz:

    Fourier.Analyst August 30, 2007 at 3:39 am

    Curses be to the Techno-RAT. But we all know a true A-lister when we read one! In any case, it was a great idea for a raffle and you are simply the best darlin’! And I’m not just sayin’ that cuz I won sumpin’!! (Yeee-Haaa!!)

    P.S. Keep up the great crochet work. You are such an inspiration!
