***ONE HOUR LEFT, FOLKS!
***ENDING TIME IS MST (Mountain Standard Time)
**EDIT- Clarification of rules. See below.
I love seeing the trend of blog “Giveaways” that have been popping up everywhere.
I’ve considered hosting a giveaway of my own for awhile. I didn’t jump on the bandwagon immediately because I am someone who is notoriously weak regarding the “Everyone else is doing it” mentality. It is a good thing that I hung out with people that weren’t “Baddies” in high school. If I had run with a seriously rebellious crowd I would have probably gone with the flow and picked up some very bad habits. Instead of sitting here writing this blog I would probably have fatherless kids named Ramone, Shaniqua, Earl and Hung li, and give $5 blow jobs on the docks to support my raging meth habit. Luckily, all I ever did in my teenage years was have lame photo-shoots in my best friends basement and spray pillows with our boyfriend’s cologne and slow dance with them in the dark to “Forever Young” by Alphaville. “Adventurous” to me was sneaking out with my boyfriend and letting him cop an occasional feel in the backseat of his car.
Shoot. Now I’m trying to figure out what the hell I was talking about in the first place. Oh, yes! Peer pressure and how I am succumbing to it…
I’m hosting my very first blog give-a-way! (And there was much rejoicing…yay…)
I have a crapload of “Stuff” sitting on my computer desk. For a refresher, click HERE. Featured below are a few of my favorites. “Claude” the crab is the only beanie baby in the world I would ever own. There is something terribley cute and earnest about his wee-beady eyes. I looked for one forever and my friend Karen gave me hers! Right below Claude, is my AWESOME chicken. He reminds me of the penguin in the “Wallace and Grommit” Movies. 
He totally kills me. Maybe it is because I am a sucker for things with wee-beady eyes, Maybe it is his mismatched socks, or maybe it is his winged “Go-to move” that happens when you squeeze his feet together, who knows?
What he doesn’t have?
A NAME.
So, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to give Loralee’s plastic chicken a name!
What will the winner get in return? A $15 gift certificate to Amazon.com. As an added bonus, if you are the lucky winner AND you **link to THIS post on your blog, your prize goes up to $20. I pinky swear that the linkylove will not influence my final decision. It’s just an added bonus because I’m a traffic-whore.
Leave your entries in my comments. You may enter as many times as you wish.
The contest closes at 11:59 pm, Thursday, August 30th.
Cluck-Cluck-Good-Luck!
Chelle says:
Randall. He looks like he is sort-of serious and unintentionally goofy. He’s cute.

For some reason, when I looked at him I thought “Dwight”. It could be that the name came to me because I’m listening to ‘The Office: Season 2′ right now.

I think he looks like a “Stewart” but I’m a huge fan of using characteristics for names. I also enjoy a good initial now and then, so my final-answer submission to this giveaway is:
Stalwart P.
And Loralee, yours has long been linked on my blog as an unknown-person favourite.

Loves to Camille for the linky love. I had no idea. I’ll scoot over to your place when I’m back from taking the kiddies to “The Simpsons”
I clarified about tracking back to this specific post on your blog. You’ll get the increased gift certificate if you post a link back to this giveaway. I should have been more specific. Apology accepted???

There are dueling incentives here. If I link to you, I can get five extra dollars. But linking to you would send more traffic your way (not much more, in my case), thus increasing entries and decreasing my odds of winning. Since we’re talking a $5 gain versus a $15 loss, I choose not to link to this post. Sorry.(:

Okay after reading these suggestions I really don’t know that I have much to offer except that WHY are they all giving a hen a male name? I mean it’s obviously a girl–or am I not up on my chickenology?
And I loved “Forever Young” too btw.
I guess I’d offer (besides the obvious choice of Scribbit the Chicken) Brittany. Those dance moves just seem to fit.
And linking I must do.

I don’t know. I just like it. It has multiple meanings.

p.s. - per Da-Nang… BlueFly has some stuff onsale right now. But I’ve found some GREAT deals on eBay. You must find the baby-fine cords with metallic dragons on the side. I have them in brown and camo. And the ones with a certain style at the top is more flattering than others.. I’ll have to look at see which one it is.

Damn you, woman! Now all I can think about is Wallace and Gromit. “CHEESE, Gromit!” For months after the latest, all three of us would sporadically yell cheese in our best British voices, and Jeremy and I continually did the little hand movements at each other when we were excited… you know the one I’m talkin’ about!

I totally agree that he looks like the penguin from Wallace and Gromit, which is why I would suggest pseudo-plagiarizing his very name:
“Feathers McGraw”

“Feathers McChoate”

loralee says:
Jonathan-
Totally!
I love your website. Totally informative and TOTALLY HILARIOUS.
Here, I’ll plug it again (Though the lame way. My link code keeps adding “Nofollow” and making it disappear. Don’t know why):
“HEY! You need to know how to “Get rid of things” (Like anything from wasps, dandruff, 10 extra lbs, yellow toenails, stains on clothing or even Trick-or-treaters?) If you do, and I know you do, go here:
http://www.getridofthings.com
You’ve forgotten the whining about my wasp problem I droned on about last summer. Tasha emailed me the link to the “Get rid of wasps” page and it TOTALLY worked.
This was good because we were PLAGUED by them. My poor kids kept getting stung. I had no idea that yellow jackets were attracted to pet food, trash, meat and water!
Kerflop http://kerflop.com is a freaking awesome blogger and web designer extrodinaire. She designed this webpage and is the bomb-diggity. I heart her to death. She’s having a wasp problem so I sent her to you to see if there was anything else she could do about it.
NOW.
YOU NEED TO TRY TO NAME MY CHICKEN.

Angela- You are too funny. I’m going to have a friend help me make a list in random order and without contributers names so it stays as impartial as possible.
However, there is only one name I am totally and completely blacklisting from the competition
FERNANDO.

Don’t worry. I can laugh after 15 years. You’ll probably laugh too, when you read it!
Still, I wouldn’t curse my beloved chicken, thus!
August 30th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
kip says:
That story was only something that could happen to you. I haven’t quite stopped laughing also because I was thinking “Fernando” might be the winning entry when I saw it.
I’ll enter another name as well. How about “Clucky Brewster” because of the socks?
