ReplyDeleteWhat am I doing here?--I better go sprinkle some clues around the blogosphere!
I may try to join in..?? I think I will be hopelessly outclassed, but it sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo Kari!! We're so happy to have you! A good place to start is in the Everything You Need To Know Page. We're posting the first clue in a little under an hour--WELCOME!!!
ReplyDeleteDue to a change in my schedule, looks like I'll be able to play with the big kids this time around.
ReplyDeleteAnd the race has begun!!! This is always the fun part, the mystery of it all awaits. Welcome to the tent and now you are off. Yay!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jeanne! Welcome, Kari! Kelly are you here?!
ReplyDeleteHeads up (as if you folks need it)! Off to clue two.
ReplyDeleteThanks! WIBIJ is an awesome idea-- so fun :)
ReplyDeletebut I have to confess, I'm a little confused about how the secret phrase works. Does each space stand for a word?
Those are some awe inspiring comments out in the blogosphere. Thanks. It's a pleasure to have you on this race.
ReplyDeleteThe circus tent is mighty quiet. I wonder if Blogger is being too much of her beastly self. Scaring everyone off.
ReplyDeleteHeather is a wrangling with her. She's can do wonders with her chair and marshmallow peanuts. Blogger sure loves those peanuts.
ReplyDeleteKari--each __ stands for a word. you submit the final phrase in the page over on the right. People who finish qualify for first place and best comment awards woo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking, Kari!
ReplyDeleteOkay, thanks!!
ReplyDeleteKari, you are speedy out there!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I read the Everything Else you Need to Know tips : )
ReplyDeleteHa, Ha! Easily best comment I ever read! Heather will like that too!
ReplyDeleteOkay, that was fun! So different playing for speed than poetry.
ReplyDeleteYes!! And you still wrote beautiful comments!! Thanks, Jeanne.
ReplyDeleteKari--I do love that you read that page. And that you found what you needed there!! Jeanne, nice run. It't turning out to be a really low key race today. Maybe I'll have to make the clues tougher next time. Muahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThe game is still on. Who know who is going to submit the phrase correctly first, or leave the best comment out there in the blogosphere!! Game is STILL ON!!
ReplyDeletezomg I have all the clues from the posts and I have no idea what the phrase is! lol, maybe I'll have this figured out by next time?
ReplyDeleteKari--take a moment--I'll bet you'll figure it out--you're doing awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou have a total of four words, right?
ReplyDeleteyes...
ReplyDeleteare the letters in the words scrambled??
ReplyDeleteI got the phrase wrong last time, so I wouldn't be surprised if I flubbed it again. Actually, I think I did. Can I resubmit? ;->
ReplyDeleteI'm at home today with a sick kid today, so this was a fun distraction. Back to playing Pokemon battles with my boy.
no--you should keep each word as is--we did take liberties with the phrase. Make sure you've collected all the right all caps words from the blogs, and put them together into something that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteResubmit, Jeanne!!
ReplyDeletehaha best I can do : ) lol that was fun!
ReplyDeleteJeanne, I'm glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteResubmit all you want!
ReplyDeleteOkay, thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it all day and into tomorrow if you like.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your kiddo.
Wow. Finally found the first one. I only started 10 minutes ago, though. ";-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Sheri!! Have fun out there!!
ReplyDelete#2 Down. Already now #3!!
ReplyDeleteHey Heather,
ReplyDeleteGot #3 and #4. ";-)
Hah!! I actually submitted. ME. Finally. Thanks guys. It'a always a pleasure. ";-)
ReplyDelete'K, that was it's always a pleasure. I'm jittery. The kids are almost home from school.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Sheri!!!
ReplyDeleteOh drat, grumpy husband distracted me and I forgot about the start of WIBIJ! Off to troll the blogosphere at a leisurely pace...
ReplyDeleteOh, I think I know it!!! Yay! Do I answer here?
ReplyDeleteHmmm? Grumpy? And now you are off trolling... This has a certain fairy tale feel. I hope you leave plenty of bread crumbs and the birds don't eat them all!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Carolina, submit it in the form along the side bar! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I totally nailed this! Um, maybe.
ReplyDeleteTina - I'll leave the bread crumbs but I'm eating the Oreos :)
ReplyDeleteSome very perky and fun bloggers this time, fearless leaders! Rock on.
Very cool, guys! I'm a little behind on all this coolness, but I'll try to play next time! :-)
ReplyDeleteGrrrr. I missed my WIBIJ fix. I'll play it a little later just for fun.It's been a crazy busy day :)
ReplyDeleteBut great work you circus performers :):):)
Better late than never, but I did it!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo!
Carolina- COOL!
ReplyDeleteSarah- I would too!
Shannon- You ain't behind on nuthin!!! Thanks so much.
Crystal- Thanks! Next time!!!
Kelly- Woo Hoo!
Okay, better late than never. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, done. I think the only way I managed it was due to the shortness of the phrase. Past 5 words and my brain doesn't work. And I'll probably still mess up the order of the words. :) Great clues, Heather! And blogs.
ReplyDeleteYay, Laura! Thanks for playing. Sometimes short and sweet is the most difficult. And sometimes it is easy!
ReplyDeleteThese are sweethearts of blogs!
Okay, I did totally mess up the order. I think.
ReplyDeleteThis is too fun guys! When do you reveal the answers?? We want to link to you guys!
ReplyDeleteLiLa--thanks! we post on Friday at 1pm. Normally I update the marquee--thanks so much for pointing that out!
