3000 FOLLOWERS.

I'm coming up to 3000 followers on Twitter. Woohoo. I'm thinking I'd like to celebrate that and give a little something back to you guys in appreciation of all the nice things you say to me.

So here's a little contest / giveaway thingie. See this drawing? Picture it on a t-shirt.


I'll prolly make them on Zazzle or something so you get your choice of size etc.

"Hey JC! I'm kinda scared. How do I enter?

Fear not! I'm won't make you jump through hoops in my contest. Even though I could ask you to "follow" this blog, to "LIKE" my Facebook page, repost it on your own Facebook page, retweet the sucker to kingdom come using the button at the bottom of this post, and urge everyone you know to follow me on Twitter...I won't. Because that would make me a slut. Obviously, though, I totally appreciate retweets and shoutouts and will be your best friend forever if you share this link right now. Whee! 

There's two t-shirts up for grabs:
One t-shirt with the "t" goes to the 3000th real Twitter follower.
The other t-shirt goes to another follower who comments on this post as follows:

UPDATE: Due to the huge number of hilarious entries and general enthusiasm combined with the fact that you guys retweeted like a bunch of maniacs...I'll be selecting two winners.
  1. You may suggest something to replace the "t" - a big banana, a rocket ship, a street lamp, or something funny that fits in that space. *
  2. You must comment your idea of what should go into the speech bubble. Try to keep it clean and make sure all the words will fit in the bubble.

    *A crowd of people who look like your relatives will get you automatically disqualified!
The winner will be the funniest one, and I get to decide that, cuz it's my contest.
Oh yeah, if you win, you should post the image to your blog or Facebook page (if you have one) and link back to here. That would be cool.

Contest ends Friday, the 21st of January, midnight. I'll announce the winner on Monday evening. Open to anybody anywhere, though I can't guarantee shipping to some remote places.

A note about the image: Twitter's trademark people just got back to me about the "t" in the design. They say I can do a one - off contest as long as I don't sell any. 

Um. Remember that thing I said about being your best friend...?

Find out who won.

Share!

  10. The "T" could be replaced with a large cup of coffee (like from Scarbocks or something).

    Then, your bubble can say, "I have serious Tweeting habit but my coffee habit makes me too chipper to care!"

    Or keep the T and say, "Hell yeah, 3000 followers and only 80% are bots!"

    (maeyoulaugh)

    ReplyDelete
  11. I think the t should be replaced with a "dreaded" brand surfboard, and in the bubble, you should be shouting "WEEVERINE!"

    ReplyDelete
  12. Maybe instead of the t, you should be leaning against a podium with Baby Palin atop it, and you saying "Baby Palin 2012."

    ReplyDelete
  13. The t should be replaced with a steerable toboggan and your husband on crutches. The bubble will be you saying, "Thank God for Canadian healthcare."

    ReplyDelete
  14. The t will be replaced with a giant wine glass, and you will be saying "Now I need a bigger bottle of wine!"

    ReplyDelete
  15. Just because I want to see you draw it, I want the t replaced with the Cloverfield monster.

    And in the bubble you can say "Rawr!"

    ReplyDelete
  16. ok i love these they rock

    ReplyDelete
  17. "Suck it, Facebook" would fit nicely in that bubble.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Replace the "t" with a high heel!

    BUBBLE COMMENT:

  19. awesome contest..but, it wouldn't be you if you weren't leaning against a huge bottle of wine and saying, "mmmm...grapes"

    ReplyDelete
  20. Instead of the t, how about "3000" written like the title of the movie 300.

    And then the bubble can say one of the following:

    "Hundreds leave, a handful stay. Only one looks back."

    "There's only one woman's words that should affect the mood of my husband. Those are mine." (I know it's long, but it's funny.)

    "To victory!"

    "Prepare for glory!"

    ReplyDelete

  22. Maybe you should make a logo that says "Your Corporate Logo" and you can say "This space for rent."

    ReplyDelete
  23. I don't know what the image would be, but the speech bubble should say "Ask me about my boobs."

    ReplyDelete
  24. t -> bucket
    you -> "I has a bucket."
    lolz!!1!1!one!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Leave the "t".

    In the bubble:

    "I *SO* am going 2 tweet abt that!!"

    -or-

    "I make 140 characters my b**ch"

    ReplyDelete
  26. Turn the T into a cake so it looks like you're trying to hide it. Maybe with a cornwall tanned leg coming out of it.

    In the bubble: "The cake is a lie."

    ReplyDelete
  27. ~OR~

    She could be leaning on an almost closed door with hands and feet and toys poking out, with a sign on the door saying "Daddy Dooty Zone" (with little brown & green stench squiggles coming out the top of the door), and have in the bubble "Super Nanny ain't got NOTHIN on me!".

    I am a cruel, cruel mama.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Leaning on the totem pole she says "I told you I have friends!"

    ReplyDelete
  29. I love the tee with the Twitter "T"
    Bubble can simply say "Tooth Fairy Tweets!"
    That's T T T on a Tee! ( ☺ tee hee )
    Or you can replace the T with a Tooth if you must?
    But don't you agree T is also for Tooth and Toothfairy and Twitter and Tweet so keep it! ☺
    I love it!! ♥ Believe me I wish to and would wear it too! Thanks fairy much for this sweet chance!

  30. "That was one WILD twitter party!"

    Then just sprinkle wilted party litter around what you already have. Deflated balloons, confetti, you're the brilliant artist so I know you'd come up with something better.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'd like to see you surrounded by husband, kids, Baby Palin, the dreaded weeverine, kids from My Life ME, the lumberjack, etc. all playing instruments and acting crazy. Maybe you can be leaning against a big amp, or a stage.

    And you saying "I'm with the band."

    ReplyDelete
  32. Wow I think you have some amazing ideas would love to see them animated. Thanks for all the laughs.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Leave it but add another gal on the other side.
    Put Tiaras on both of them & put

    @Those2Girls

  34. leaning against a bathroom door shouting be right back twits gotta pee.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'll DM U L8R! - in the bubble that is.

    I can't think of anything funnier than a banana in place of the "t".

    Cool contest.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Since they are so on top of their brand, I think the bubble should say "Infringing on trademarks in 140 characters or less." Hee!

    ReplyDelete
  37. How about a Large Orange K instead of the Large Blue T and the bubble can say "Screw Klout. I have 3000 followers ;)"

    ReplyDelete
  38. Or you can keep it simple and just say "I RAWK!"

    ReplyDelete
  39. I love the 't' - but I think the bubble should say, "The Animated Woman Follows Me."

    ReplyDelete
  40. How 'bout... "I tweet, therefore I am" OR "Tweet this Facebook!" OR "Shout out to all my twats...err...twits...err.. tweethearts..you know who you are! #3000followers #whowouldathunkit

    ReplyDelete
  43. How about a large mythological bird, with you saying "Roc!"

    ReplyDelete
  44. How about you leaning against Stonehenge, with you saying "Rocks!"

    ReplyDelete
  45. This is what Jared suggested: A big chocolate bar should replace the "t" and in the bubble, "A woman's best friend." :) Yeah, he seeing the large amount that I consume on a daily basis.

    ReplyDelete
  46. 'Tweet me again @Tojosan!' Love the big t just as is!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Change the 't' to a marshall amp with a 't' replacing the marshall logo and an oversized volume control that is peaking at 3000. And, the bubble says "... but it goes to 11"

    or

    same as above but keep the marshall logo and have a vibrating 't' floating in front of the speaker.

    PS how do i post not being anonymous while still being a ludite? You know me, it's mr. bell

    ReplyDelete
  48. "My followers are cooler than yours."

    ReplyDelete
  49. Simple, it should say @ragekat because homegirl is truly outrageous... Like a modern day JEM mixed with Mary Poppins.

    Practically perfect in every way...

    ReplyDelete
  50. Hmm...

    "I am Twitter bitches!"

    Or switch out the T with whysdaddycrying holding you up while vacuuming with one leg

    "It's good to be the Queen!"

    ReplyDelete
  51. "Bringing Oranjyna to the US!"
    "It's half past wine...time for another glass!"
    "I have sweet tweets!"

    ReplyDelete
  52. 1) Make the T a Bottle of Wine & the label reads, "Whine Wine Time"

    2) Add a cell phone in one hand with the screen on a twitter app. The other hand holding a wine glass.

    3) She's in a padded room.

    4) The voice balloon says "Moms Time Out"

    ReplyDelete
  53. I am not in it to win it, but this is one of the most fun constests that I have seen in a while! You have some clever readers!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Yea.. ummm - errrr... How about replace the T with "THE wine glass" and in the bubble write - One Glass, One Night On Twitter"

    ;)

    Hey- I tried!

    ReplyDelete
  55. "Animated is the new black"
    "Dork is the new black" (only cuz that's what you tell me!)

    ReplyDelete
  56. The speech bubble should have one thing in it: a red heart.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I own a huge wine glass! 'Nuff said!

    ReplyDelete
  58. This tree to lean on.

    http://naturalartgarden.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/anatarttree.pdf

    ReplyDelete
  59. A dance pole T.... Bubble "I've danced my way to the top"

    ReplyDelete
  60. Ok, I'm trying this again (the comment failed the other day when I tried to post it. It was probably me =P).

    For the big "t" I would put a picture of Baby Palin. Largely because Baby Palin is the funniest thing EVAR. Ok, so Baby Palin should have wavy lines (or something to indicate bad smell) coming from her diaper. Inside the speech bubble should be "I re-woaded"

Cuz You Rocketh.
