***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!
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.
Wayne
Fricken Chicken
He also looks like a Marvin
Suck-a-duck?
fikkenchucker
Edward or Lucy
Pedro :)
Consider yourself linked!
Flipper.
Clyde.
(I’m not sure why.)
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.
Berkle the Chicken
Clyde.
(I’m not sure why. I’m also not sure why I got an error message when I first tried to post a comment; apologies if this comes through twice.)
you always come up with weirdly funny things.
how about rufus? i know you go for brit names.
These are all awesome thus far!
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???
Mwah!
Wing Man, he looks like your wing man to me. Off to link to the post, so all 20 of my dailys will now be yours.
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.(:
Schlamozel!
“…give $5 blow jobs on the docks”
so much for your g-rated blog, eh? ;)
Craig-
I’m totally flattered that you would use such thought as “Strategery” in my blog giveaway.
Jess-
I know. I’m a wanton blogger.
Sigh…
* Jean-Luc!
* The Inspector
* Bob Freckenboker
* Mr. Clubbers
I also posted about this on my blog :)
***Chicky***
Just because he/she belongs to a hot chick. /wink
1. loralee (does bribery work?)
2. duck-duck (he’s having an identity
crisis just like the rest of my pets)
3. wooster
4. e-i-e-i-o (as in old macdonald)
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.
Don Quackote
Michelle- because she said *he* doesn’t have a name….I didn’t read that part either the first time..hence why I suggested Lucy
I guess I did say “He” didn’t I? Truth be told, he does remind me more of a “He” but I am totally open to girly names, too!
Hell, I named my female cat, Wilbur.
I think it should stay nameless. My reason is that its alway good to have something to call what you want depending on the mood and how much you need to vent!
i will be thinking about this ALL day! :)-
Sully
Weiner chick!
I don’t know. I just like it. It has multiple meanings.
I want to win the chicken!!!!!
Maybe I should sponsor a giveaway… Faith has been collecting a lot of rocks around D.C. Maybe I just start unloading our bag of dust. PFTZ!
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.
You crack me up!
hhhmmm…how about Buckley
Eric says “Hector.” I haven’t decided yet.
Juanita, Gomez, Kate, Nostradamus, Luqwig, Neeko and Izzie.
You have also been linked, my dear.
I think he should be “Mulder.”
I don’t know how to link, but I will ask my tech saavy husband to help me. I’m technically challenged.

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!
Rupert. But if it were for Karen I would name him Kung Fu Chicken!
I’m gonna say…
Clive.
My daughter says: Ratatouille.
I don’t know WHERE she came up with that! Oops, she can read now. She’s reading what I’m typing and going, “mama!”
How funky is your chicken?
How loose is your goose?
Now come on all you Loralee fans
and shake your caboose,
that’s right
shake your caboose!
(Sorry I was a cheerleader in jr. high and that cheer will NEVER leave me!)
My suggestion is Funky Fred.
“hello? is it me you’re looking for?”
…Lionel!
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”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feathers_McGraw
and making it:
“Feathers McChoate”
Vx
He has an exceptionally long neck and in honor of my sweet dancin’ skills: OSTRICHICKEN!!! So let it be written, so let it be done. I’ll put a link on my blog for you. :o)
Clucky Two-Socks.
Even though Sue may be upset, I think you should name your chicken.
“My Chicken, Lac Lavon”
or:
“Dawn”
‘The Chickens Will Meet At Dawn!’
Delurking…I love your blog but I’ve never posted before.(Sad, really that I’ll delurk when there’s a prize involved.)
I choose…
