IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN! by Steve Nadis

Three weeks have passed since our last Bumper Sticker contest. I've just finished sifting through all those old entries, so I guess it's time now for the latest BLOGGING BUMPER STICK SWEEPSTAKES. Here are the first five candidates (in what will undoubtedly prove to be a crowded and illustrious field), written by none other than yours truly, the Snakemeister himself.

1. BIG BLOGGER IS WATCHING YOU.

2. DON'T LOOK NOW. YOU'RE BEING BLOGGED.

3. "THE BLOGGING BEGINS IN 5 MINUTES." --Ronald Reagan

4. ONE BLOG AT A TIME.

5. I WENT ONLINE TO BUY A T-SHIRT. ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY BLOG.

Send in your entries today! Our judges are relaxing in Barbados now, with nothing to do but sip their pina coladas and wait for the deluge of blogging bumper sticker ideas to pour in. Early submissions will get special attention, so don't delay! This could be your chance for glory--your 15 seconds of fame.

THE GREAT BUMPER STICKER SWEEPSTAKES, PART III --- by Steve Nadis

This is the third, and final, part of the Great Bumper Sticker Sweepstakes, the fiercely contested "Honk if..." competition. Allow me to present two (hopefully original) examples of this classic genre:

Honk if you believe in atheism!

HONK IF YOU'RE A SKEPTIC (who never falls for transparent "honk if..." ploys).

That's the general idea. After the first two words, you're on your own, guided only by the limits of your conscience and creativity. So don't be bashful. Send in your entries right away, as the winners in all three categories will soon be announced.

BLOGGER ON BOARD by Steve Nadis

Did I mention my thriving blogging/bumper sticker business? Here are a few of my best-selling items: Blogger on Board, How's My Blogging?, I'd Rather Be Blogging, and (the most popular) Stop Me Before I Blog Again!

I'll take this opportunity to announce a new competition: The best blogging/bumper sticker title suggested by one of you lucky folks will receive prominent mention in "Call Me Snake." I cannot pay you for the idea, but I promise that if I get rich on it, I shall be eternally grateful.

A NEW BLOG FEATURE--ERSATZ eCARDS! by Steve Nadis

I can't afford eCards, so I'm offering a new, fee-based service -- ERSATZ eCard messages right here on "Call Me Snake." (If you have to ask, you can't afford it.) I'm the first customer for this service on its "maiden voyage," so to speak. Here's the first of what I'm sure will prove to be many messages:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FRED! I put the message here so the whole world can see it. Don't be bashful. The blogosphere is an international zone and your birthday deserves to be celebrated by people in all time zones, including those living across the International Date Line. Next time, maybe I'll get my act together early enough to send you a Hallmark. But for now, this will have to do. Enjoy the honor of being the world's first-ever ERSATZ eCARD recipient. And save a piece of cake for your bro'.
