The funniest RE.net blog post for 2007 - Nominations are open
I can’t imagine doing a weekly blogging contest myself, and really don’t want to wait my turn at the carnival. So I’m creating a contest of my own. The first annual Funniest RE.net blog post for 2007. Here are the rules.
- The post has to be from an RE.net blogger.
- The post has to be funny
Nominations are now open. I will will pick a short list (bribes will be excepted), and a three judge panel will elect a winner. Anybody want to be a judge? Nomination deadline is 12:01 AM Mountain Time on Dec 27th. The winner will be announced at 12:01 AM on Jan 1, and wins nothing!
Here are a few that I have nominated so far.
The honer is all mine! - Kris Berg
Ten Marketing Tips You Can Learn From A Prostitute - Joe & Rudy (I’m not sure which)
Fixing The Agent Headshot Of Death - Athol Kay
Mademoiselle? Oui. La Spinster?…ZUT! - Geno Petro
Please don’t judge me by my page rank - Teresa Boardman
Top 5 Reasons Why You Wouldn’t Hire a Penguin as Your Next Realtor® - Mariana Wagner
Collegiate Cliques on RE.net - Yes, I nominated my own post. It was damn funny.
The Bubble Gum Interviews - Lani Anglin - I nominate the whole series. Sort of like a lifetime achievement award or something.
Nominate your own posts, or the posts of others in the comments section. There’s no limit on the number of posts from any one blogger that can be nominated. Email me if you want to me a judge. Finally, please spread the word about the contest. I could use a good laugh, so the more posts to choose from the better.

A wonderful idea Todd. We will gladly promote it. Can’t wait to see the entries. I don’t envy the judges.
December 16th, 2007 at 6:18 pm
Thank you for the nomination, and OMG! These are some FUNNY posts! I can;t wait to read them ALL, and I, too do not envy the judges …
December 16th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
Yes those poor judges, being forced to read all those funny posts. There should be a law against it.

Does Ted Truitt count?

i don’t think it beats the prostitute post
December 17th, 2007 at 7:45 am
I have to nominate Todd Carpenters Collegiate cliques on the Re. net
December 17th, 2007 at 8:19 am
In an act of shameless self-promotion, I’ll nominate my own post: What I’ve Learned in Two Weeks of Real Estate Brokers Classes
Now I’m off to read more Kris Berg and try to cull that down into a hal-dozen or so.
December 17th, 2007 at 11:04 am
I apologize in advance as I too will provide you with my shameless self promotion of 2 of my best 2007 posts. Check them all out as I actually think you all will find them quite funny.
Listed below in no particular order:
1. Pay Your Rent Now or Face The Wrath Of…
2. Code Dread?
(Be sure to read and zoom-in on the chart)

Jay’s Real Estate Brokers Class was sadly funny, but I have got to vote for Geno’s Mademoiselle.
December 17th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
Todd - if you still need a judge I’d love to help.
And I’d like to nominate Athol’s Do These Jeans Make My A$$ Look Fat?
December 17th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
So far, Dan Green and Chris Lengquist make up two out of three judges for the panel. Anyone else?
Here’s two more from Kris who proves she is better at writing than reading instructions by emailing me her nominations instead of posting them here.

I’ll judge. I’m pretty good at finding humor since I was laughed at all throughout my childhood…I don’t think it was for me being funny though. Either way, I’m in if you need it!
December 17th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
I’m throwing in these Zillow Selltoons so no one forgets how funny those zestimates can be.

Schmoozer, I see your game! I can’t let someone with nominations be able to judge.
Thanks though
December 17th, 2007 at 11:28 pm
I’d be a judge, but I would only vote for myself…
I have already sent out threatening emails to people stating that I must win- of all the blog awards out there, I only want to win THIS one!!!
It’s for the children, y’all… for the children!
December 18th, 2007 at 12:15 am
I have a Sock Puppet that can can stand in as judge.
December 18th, 2007 at 12:47 am

Todd,
This one always stands out when I think of funny and bold enough to publish it.
December 18th, 2007 at 1:01 pm
Todd… You got me!
I can have my alter-ego, Mike Easter judge if you want!
; )
December 18th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
Alex Stenback nominated this one.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:18 am
This is my nomination: Teresa’s Goal Post Um… Not like in football but like in a post about goals. I laughed. I cried. I nearly peed myself.
December 20th, 2007 at 10:36 am
>Here’s two more from Kris who proves she is better at writing than reading instructions by emailing me her nominations instead of posting them here.
Aargh! I have been outed as a shameless self-promoter! Thanks a lot, Todd.

Suspicious that any new volunteer would be a plant from one of the competing bloggers
, I went out and found a third judge on my own.
Nicole Nicolay rounds out the three judge panel.
December 21st, 2007 at 3:12 am
OK, so I have some more of mine that won’t make my shortlist, but I thought I’d share them anyway. The whole point of the contest is to laugh a little.
Bryan & Yvonne Carpenter - trust me, read between the lines and look at the links.
It Be Talk Like A Pirate Day
A local report on home values - My closing guest post on Inman
I don’t want to be a zombie so stop throwing sheep at me - My appraisal of Facebook
Endorsed by Teresa Boardman - I only cared if one person thought this was funny, and she did.
And finally, all I did was link to this, but it was my favorite “Silly Friday” post of the year.
December 21st, 2007 at 2:53 pm
I would like to point out that Lani acutally IS sending out threatening emails. I’ve turned them over to the FBI.
December 21st, 2007 at 2:58 pm
Some of you laugh at Chris, but he’s not lying.
Todd- look what you’ve started
December 21st, 2007 at 3:14 pm
People laugh at me? C’mon. I have feeliings, you know?
December 21st, 2007 at 9:10 pm
Okay … Gotta add these:
Derek’s Attempts at Vlogging I
Derek’s Attempts at Vlogging II
December 23rd, 2007 at 1:30 am
And then there’s this and this.
December 27th, 2007 at 12:44 am
Just a quick note for those who subscribed by email. The short list is now published on RBF. Thanks to everyone who participated.
December 27th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
I am so execited!
It’s a good idea, Todd!
Thank you!
