• And The Winner Is...

  Getsuyobi.  Day of the Moon.  Monday.
  
  I'm sure most of you hate Mondays because the weekend is over and you have to go back to work and stuff.  I love Mondays because I get Mondays off.  Yay me!
  
  Anyway...
  
  I was hoping for more guesses in my last entry but I can't say that I'm dissatisfied with the turnout; although one of you didn't guess at all... twice!  Who knew that a scientific mind would opt for comedy instead of accuracy?
  
  [Ed. note: Let it never again be stated or implied that I sleep with men.  Men are selfish pigs and usually leave after they "get some".  That said, I have never slept with a man... or two.  Let it also never be stated or implied that I sleep with my subscribers (save one).  My subs usually fall asleep in the middle of reading my entries--wherein I'm off on a tech tirade--and I'm left awake... and unsatisfied.]

  It had been awhile since I'd made a home video for my YouTube account and I was pleased to see that they now allow direct mobile phone uploads.  After recording it (in only two takes!), I had planned to download my Ted video to my computer, convert it from the cellphone-friendly 3GP format to a more computer-friendly container, then upload it to YouTube.  Aren't you glad I was able to skip the middle step and deliver my video hijinx to you sooner?  Sure, I could have skipped the first step, too, but then I would've had to pay file transfer fees, and you all know my policy on that.
  
  

  (Que wake-up alarm!)
  
  
  

  And now, without further ado (or adon't), the winner of my WHICH TED IS TED AND WHY IS THAT TED TED? CONTEST is...

  (aka Leda)
  
  

  Without her permission, her guess is reprinted here:
  
  

  I say Ted from Scrubs. You know why? Because Ted is awesome. Ted may look kind've shabby on the outside, but deep down, we all know that he's got many values that make him oh-so lovable. RIGHT? Right.

  I choose Ted Buckland.

  
  Honorable mention goes to Mike and The Other Mad One, both of whom also correctly identified the proper Ted.  Leda wins by a nose because her reason was dead on.  My Ted isn't much to look at but I love him anyway.
  
  I'll also give snaps to Raquel and Stiv, both of whom picked Ted Logan.  That Ted is certainly a good guess but Mr. Logan's personality more closely resembles my own, rather than that of my car; although I'm not one to judge the strangeness of things which are afoot at the Circle K.
  
  Though I know why she picked the Ted that she picked, I still have to wag my finger at The Mad One.  I thought she knew me better than that.  Ted Nugent was easy... TOO easy.  I may be a rocker but my car isn't.  Hell, the radio doesn't even work--but then again, I didn't mention that in my video.  Forgive me.  I suppose that I should also mention that while I admire Mr. Nugent's rock 'n' roll prowess (one can't help but be moved by a lyric like "when in doubt, I whip it out"), I whole-heartedly disagree with his politics.
  
  I'd like to congratulate all of you for not picking the red herring that is Ted McGinley.  I wanted to have four Teds in my quiz and he was the only other one that came to mind.  Mr. McGinley is best known for being added to the cast of TV shows that end up cancelled soon afterward.  For the purposes of comedic irony, I thought it would be funny to include a person whom I wouldn't let DRIVE my car, let alone be named after him.
  
  So, congratulations, Leda!  Pick a good topic for me and I'll do my best to make it blogworthy.
  
  In closing, I give you... The Best of Ted:
