Sword Point Saturday - How Many Friends Do You Have?
I slept in a bit today (is it really sleeping in when you wake up at 9am if you didn't go to bed until 3am?) and my karate students will be here soon so I'm going to have to punch this out quick (I'm almost sorry about that play on words but not really).
Today's game is going to be easy for me because I don't have to do anything or explain any background. I like that but I'll try not to let it become a habit.
Anyway, here it is. 5 Sword Points will be awarded to you for every person that leaves a comment on this post with your name it. It can be as simple as, "Rhiia sent me," or if they would like to leave a longer post such as, "Hey SW, I read back through some of your posts and like what you have to say about money but I'm wondering why you haven't banned PTE Rick's IP yet." That would still earn Rick 5 Sword Points. Positive or negative, if they mention your name in a comment on this post, you get 5 Sword Points.
Remember the first player (or players because I'll add up points for a week) to get to 200 Sword Points get their share of $80 of Success Warrior Gear.

CV Rick is certainly a crafty conniving fellow, is he not? He got me over here to pimp for him, yet he is of course ahead of me on the points.
It's probably because he's got a penis (presumably) and I haven't. That's the reason for most Bad Stuff.

Hey, you know what's interesting about this contest - a fact which WRY CATCHER just figured out?
TBC...

...it doesn't say anything about only one comment per person, WRY CATCHER said...
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:01 AM
...and WRY CATCHER also noticed that it doesn't say you can't mention your own name in the comments...
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:02 AM
WRY CATCHER might quickly become beyond annoying in this commenting thread, but she is impervious to her annoying-ness!
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:03 AM
WRY CATCHER is only in it for the points, the loot, and the WINNING!
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:03 AM
WRY CATCHER is perhaps a bit on the competitive side.
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:03 AM
But that is why WRY CATCHER is covered in glory, overflowing with wealth, and on the verge of global fame.
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:04 AM
WRY CATCHER is more than a bit of a dork, don'tcha think?
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:04 AM
But in a way WRY CATCHER is also like a postmodern cutting-edge artist, using pixels as her medium and comment boxes as her canvas, in which she creates her blistering social commentaries.
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:05 AM
If Success Warrior gets an email for each and every one of WRY CATCHER's annoying yet compellingly insightful comments here, WRY CATCHER will be sorry.
Only a little sorry though.
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:06 AM
She sat back, took a deep swig off her sparkling water, straight up, and wiped the sweat from her alabaster brow.
That WRY CATCHER, she can certainly type fast. She might pull a finger muscle or somthing if she keeps this up.

WRY CATCHER notes that this would be an interesting time to tell SW that she also used to live in Nevada. The great state with no income tax! Yay, Nevada!
WRY CATCHER has lived many places, but she does love Nevada.
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:08 AM
WRY CATCHER has considered actually posting enough comments to catapult herself to an Instant Win...then thinks that perhaps that wouldn't be sporting.
But WRY CATCHER also knows that she is following the posted rules, so...
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:09 AM
WRY CATCHER ponders.
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:10 AM
Isn't this blog ever going to think WRY CATCHER is a spammer??
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:10 AM
WRY CATCHER yields the floor and stops being a comment-hogging jerk. I mean, postmodern Artiste.
WRY CATCHER says ciao, SW! :-)
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:11 AM
WRY CATCHER pauses on her way out to note that, the words "WRY CATCHER" look totally absurd after only looking at them once or twice...but after this many times?
What? You don't think that's SO INTERESTING?
K. Bye.
Posted by: wry catcher | August 05, 2007 at 08:14 AM
Oh wait, one more thing WRY CATCHER has to say: It is duly noted that the title of this post is about how many friends one has. Now, really, that is pretty shallow, isn't it?
After, learning to love oneself, well, it's the greatest love of all.
Look how WRY CATCHER loves, supports and encourages herself? That HAS to be worth at least 190 points, don't you think?
Okay, okay, WC is REALLY leaving now.

I go mow the lawn and what happens? My inbox fills up this stuff but it was far more amusing than annoying. I should point something out here. The statements says:
"5 Sword Points will be awarded to you for every person that leaves a comment on this post with your name it."
Every person, not every comment. You are a person so you get 5 Sword Points for mentioning your name (and you might note that I have avoided it).
I was wondering who would be the first one to notice and be bold enough to mention their own name. Congrats!

I really like that Wry Catcher . . . she's a clever one, isn't she? Over at my blog, CV RICK, she often posts fascinating, witty comments.
It seems however, that CHERISE posts more comments over here on Success Warrior than she does on my blog nowadays.

That's 20 Sword Points so far for PTE Rick, 10 for Spammer, er, Wry Catcher, and 10 for Cherise.
And 5 more for all of them since I put their names in a comment.

cherise is HAWT
Posted by: Me | August 05, 2007 at 09:57 AM
5 more Sword Points for Cherise. No extra points for stating the obvious.
Posted by: Success Warrior | August 05, 2007 at 10:00 AM
Wry Catcher, cuz I always obey Rick. :)

CV Rick sent me, but wow Wry Catcher has a bit of votes too, Ididn't see this on her blog?
Posted by: Cele | August 05, 2007 at 10:33 AM
Curses. My genius plots to RULE THE WORLD get foiled every time.
While I'm here, let me just say, Cherise. Cele. Matt E. Graeme.

Jesus Christ that Rick Wren is one hell of a guy. I hear he can type blind folded.

geez MARK goes away for a long weekend in the UP and that nameless one is trying to have people pimp for him! FOR SHAME! And I bet SW won't even mention my name....sigh...
Posted by: mark | August 06, 2007 at 09:09 PM
what does MARK have to do to get his points credited around here? I am starting to wonder if there isn't a conspiracy between SW and the unnamed one...
Posted by: mark | August 10, 2007 at 06:44 AM
Careful Mark, whining on this blog subtracts points from your total. I'm still trying to catch up on all my email.
20 more Sword Points for Cherise, 15 for PTE Rick, and 10 for Wry Catcher, Cele, Graeme, Jesus Christ, and Mark.
Posted by: Success Warrior | August 10, 2007 at 11:31 AM
Jiminy. I guess Editormum ain't got no friends at all, cuz even SW didn't mention her. Sigh. My momma always said you gotta be your own best friend. Looks like momma was right.

SML has many blog friends, and even noted CV Rick's shameless pimping of himself on his blog days ago regarding this contest, but I missed clicking the link and participating before now. Possibly this is because I was chatting with Wry Catcher, whose comedic genius in comments is unsurpassed.
Posted by: SML | August 12, 2007 at 02:12 PM
Or I was reading Cele's blog.
Posted by: SML | August 12, 2007 at 02:13 PM
5 Sword Points for EditorMum (who has now been mentioned by SW), SML, PTE Rick, Wry Catcher, and Cele.
