To Bleat, Or Not To Bleat

Jul 14th, 2009
by Margaret.

I was commenting on this blog the other day when a highly auspicious word came up for my verification. Coincidence?

word verification bleated

I can’t verify the accuracy of the comment itself, but I can definitely vouch for the verification word.

Dude! Nanny Goats in Panties is having its very first Giveaway in a couple of weeks. The good people at CSN Futons is sponsoring this event. I can’t tell you what the prize is yet, but I can give you a super really big hint: It begins with “Rachel Ray” and ends with “10 piece Cookware set”. You might be wondering why a place called CSN Futons is in fact, not giving away a futon. Well, don’t ask me, I just work here.

Also, even though I can’t tell you what the prize will be, I can show you the Pre-Giveaway poster:

Pre Giveaway 291x303

In the meantime, check out some Futons.

Suebob from the Red Stapler blog sent in this picture of her sister’s goat who apparently eats everything. I’m not sure why he’s dragging his lunch box around, unless he’s looking for someone to fill it!

    I have cookware that is 24 years old. Seriously. It was a wedding gift. I’ll be entering.
    Hey, I see C. Moore on your book list! I loved the new one. Fave is still Dirty Job. Daughter’s fave is Lamb.

    When I win, Rachael Ray won’t come to my house to deliver it will she? Because that’s a deal breaker.
    That goat is so cute!
    Bleated. Heh. Bleated.

    Divine providence! It’s a definite sign that you are about to become more famous than Dooce or you are about to sprout horns and ram into things with your head. How long until we know which, I wonder?

    I’m glad you didn’t b’leat that remark, cuz it’s important we see serendipity when it surprises us like that. Ya know?

    That was awesome!
    It looks like someone scared the shit out of Chivo!

    Oooh, the publicist’s 50ieth birthday is July 25th. That would make a very cool gift, wouldn’t it. She loves to cook only she really needs a stove.
    That goat is cute. Is he available? Don’t tell Luke the goat I asked.

    The great Bezoar has spoken.
    Rachel Ray ? Here? On your blog? Selling futons? I’ll be back to get free stuff.

    That is an excellent way to hold on to your lunchbox.

    How did you know I needed new pots and pans :-) Will I score an extra entry if I promise to cook for you?
    And bleated is what I needed when I heard you got a $10 million book advance! Wait til they hear about that at BlogHer! They’ll rush the macaroon table to meet you!
    GREAT POST! xo

    You crack me up and I CANNOT WAIT to see you again! Only a few more days! : )

    Love the verification word! I’ve had some funny words, but nothing that apt! I also think the pink panties are sooo cute ha ha!

  • http://mightymfamily.blogspot.com Mighty M

    How fitting you got “bleated”. Now I will have to keep my eyes open for my own special word. “tired” is a good one. Also “get off the computer and get some other work done”. That one might be a little too long though. I dunno.

  • http://www.nooterthedog.com Nooter

    howcum i never get any cool verification words like ‘woof’ or ‘howl’?

  • http://smoochdog.squarespace.com Michelle

    A giveaway? A contest? If you can’t tell us what the prize is (LOL) can you tell us what the contest is?
    Having bleated as a verification work is VERY auspicious! I am sure it means something VERY significant….

  • http://vehow.blogspot.com VE

    Yeah, yeah…you can get the 10 million dollar advance but you gotta sit through their timeshare presentation to get it…

    If you get “blahed” as a word verification you better get a lottery ticket.

  • http://it-really-is-all-about-me.blogspot.com/ Roxane

    Those word verifications are the BEST. My favorite so far was yesterday was “Seymen” … true story!

  • http://wherehotcomestodie.blogspot.com Suzy

    I’m kind of disappointed that the comment may not be true because I was gonna hit you up for a loan.

  • http://robynsonlineworld.blogspot.com Robyns Online World

    Don’t you just love some of those verification words? It’s like they are reading your mind – but only a little.
    Can’t wait for the big giveaway!

    Wow! That’s amazing, Margaret!

    ‘Bleated’? how serendipitous!
    One of our favourite animals at our local zoo before we move away were the pigmy goats. Tiny little adorable goats, were they. This goat thing picture reminds me of them.

  • http://redbirdacres.blogspot.com/ Sparky

    Duuuuude .. the goat has his beer in there! Gotta keep that close. [hic]
    I want the pink panties not the cookware. All that fancy cookware looks too much like work. [tee hee]

  • http://www.madmadgeworld.blogspot.com Madge

    If I win the cookware do I have to start cooking?

    Visiting from SITS. i have to add this to my bloglist even if you think I am a perv. I might call it Billy Goat in thongs though.

  • http://www.rachelthedutchess.blogspot.com Rachel

    Thanks for stopping by to see the Dutchess. I am not going to even attempt to win pans… it’s a cosmic joke that I am party, but not privy to… ? Anyway come see me anytime!

    Stopping by from SITS to say HI
    Too cool that bleated came up! Today I was actually thinking that some day I actually have the chance of getting “riter” since it isn’t a real word after all. I’ve been watching for it all night…LOL

    I owe you one. “Chivo” is far and away the ugliest dog I’ve ever seen …

    I was driving out to an estate pick-up yesterday when I passed a sign that said “Goats for Sale.” I immediately thought of you.

  • http://winkytwinkyinohio.blogspot.com Winky Twinky

    Bleated as word verification!! That’s funny…sometimes ya gotta wonder how they come up with those, ’cause I’ve gotten some coincidental ones too. I love your new give away poster! Good thing it isn’t really the pans themselves. I’m with Sparky up there… those pans look like too much work ;)

    I have a neighbor who bought a goat with the intention of letting it eat up all the weeds in his backyard so he won’t have to deal with it. Turns out the goat was a picky eater and chomped up his wife’s flower beds. hehehe..
    That also happened to me. I was really thinking of Harry Potter when I was commenting on a blog then up comes the verification code and it’s: hogwarts.

  • http://www.wendiaarons.com Wendi

    See you next week. And be sure to wear the Candie’s.

    Thank you for your gracious comment on my blog. It was a pleasure writing that New York Times article about NGIP, the best blog in the country. I am glad the book publishers are giving you the attention you deserve.

    AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

  • http://www.olivehuedesigns.blogspot.com tera

    Awesome! I love it when serendipitous words come up, but I have no idea how to “capture” it. You are lucky you did, otherwise no one would believe you. ‘Cause I’m sure you can not make that stuff up. I mean really, you wouldn’t “kid” us would you?

  • http://wwww.latonyarichardson.blogspot.com LaTonya

    I so want that cook wear. Congrats on your success!

  • http://the818.com Morgan @ the818

    I love that it says “I SO have to capture this.” Made me chuckle!

    Happy Birthday you young thing you.
    I am wondering what possessed you to put your lunch on your kindle? I mean do you know how much those things are? Do you know how much you could pawn that thing for? Scrape the crumbs off it and save it for a rainy day!:)

    Love the “comment” and the irony of the word verification!
