There is going to be a deck of bloggers! I'd like to go ahead and toss my name in for the Jack of Spades.
A jack is kind of like a knight. He's a warrior. He's the kind of guy who would best represent the blogger who brought you the weekly Carnival of Cordite. Plus, I am a Large Mammal. In fact, I have flirted with Playful Primate status a few times.
I'd actually have preferred Jack of CLUBS. But the rules say clubs are reserved for active milbloggers. While I am a veteran, and while I do a fair number of posts that relate to the military, I don't think I am focused enough on milblogging for that. Therefore, spades seems like the best alternative.
A spade is a tool. As we know, I was once named tool of the week. And a spade is multi-functional. It is both a farming implement and a trench warfare weapon. I like it.
So all you readers, I am asking you for one simple favor: echo this request! Get over to Aaron's and toss my name in there for the Jack of Spades!
I would also happily accept a 7 (a 7mm Remington Magnum, that is!).
And while you are at it, consider a few other choices:
Queen of Hearts should be SondraK. Why? Well, she has that nice heart-shaped... well, if you read her often, you know where I am going with that...
Queen of Diamonds should be Sarah K. Why? Because she is the IMAO t-shirt babe and is about to be married. Marriage = diamonds. Get it?
Speaking of IMAO, Frank J needs to be nominated for something. Here I am torn. On the one hand, he should be honored with a mighty face card, like a King or something. On other hand, since he aspires to be the top satirist of the blogosphere, maybe he should be a joker. I think it would be fitting if he and his nemesis, Scrappleface, got the two jokers of the deck.
And I support Countertop in his bid for the 2 of Diamonds!
Those are my thoughts. Feel free to nominate anyone you like for anything. Just make sure you actually do! Go and vote for Resistance is futile!
trackback to your site is toast. but it worked to aaron's. you have my vote.

something isn't working with trackbacks alright. I've got the help desk looking into it. in the meantime, you can always just leave a comment.
thanks!

Woo! Gully for Jack of Spades!
If you are interested in being reciprocal (knowing that I won't win but that I could try): Put me in for the 4 of Hearts? (4th Amendment, Cats (my mascot) = Hearts)

I will do my best to support everyone who supports me.

Oh, Sailor, did you change gender on us? It looks like Hearts are reserved for chick bloggers.
