I am totally planning on winning that $600,000,000 tonight.
But I need some good mojo going into the drawing.
This is where you come in.
Leave a comment below along the lines of "Go, Marianne!" BEFORE the drawing.
And if I win the big drawing (millions and millions of dollars)?
I'm getting you a minivan, loyal reader.*
That's right.
A brand spanking new minivan.
You can even pick out the color.
Because EVERYBODY deserves a minivan.
We'll all go shopping together.
Maybe Oprah will come.

| Poor old minivan. |
Let's make it happen!
*Contest (based on Marianne actually winning 100+ million) limited to first 30 commenters. Odds of winning: 1 in a bazillion. Marianne's thrill in providing free minivans to loyal readers = infinite.
My minivan days are over, thank the good lawd or holymary or whomever. You can take my share and buy me a ticket to come see you in Chicago. We are going to fatten your sister up.
ReplyDeleteBut KIRBY!! Have you checked out the new minivans??? They've got cameras and gadgets and leather seats! I'm gonna talk you into one.
DeleteGo Mar!!!! My fingers and toes are crossed. Even tho we just purchased a van, its a 2004, so I'd totally take a new one.
ReplyDeleteIf there was ever a woman who deserved to win a new mivivan, it's you, Julie! I was secretly hoping you'd comment because you sorta have an "in" with the Powers that Be. Plus, this would totally make up for your gal Dawn losing Survivor. There's a post I've been meaning to write on that....
DeleteI still have a picture of my minivan odo when it hit the 100,000 flip. Thankfully, I've sent that baby packin' and now am the proud owner a sleek, silver, 8-year-old VW Passat. But it only has 43k miles. Unbelievable! Hey...I found you through Kirby, and I'm laughing, crying, and leaking. New follower. Definitely.
ReplyDelete-andi
Thank you for coming & staying!!! While a Passat sounds wonderfully sexy & fun, I have somehow morphed into a weird kinda minivan lover. Like I'm planning on having one until I die. Stockholm Syndrome??
DeleteGooooooooo Marianne!
ReplyDeleteCAM will be happy. Did you see my status the other day? She was lamenting the fact that that we don't have a minivan. She told me "When I grow up, I am going to have a minivan." (say that will all the six-year-old attitude you can muster. Heavy emphasis on the "I".) At which point I beat my head against the steering wheel of my hard-earned non-minivan. If you win, and give us a minivan, I'm just sayin' -- her dad will be doing the driving. :)
Oh, Jennifer. A minivan can CHANGE YOUR LIFE. The easy separation of children, the diminished fighting, the glory of 6 cylinders...
DeleteOne day, my friend. One day. You will know the beauty and divinity of a minivan.
Go Marianne! Maybe Lexus will come out with a minivan in the next 24 hours too!
ReplyDeleteDairy, wheat free, atheist friend.
You need one. Like BAD. So you can shuttle my kids around more efficiently. xoxo She Who Mocks Your Lifestyle Because She is Secretly Jealous
DeleteLack of a mini van is the only thing preventing me from becoming a hockey mom, so Go Marianne!
ReplyDeleteLack of minivan would've gotten me outta HOCKEY??
DeleteWhy didn't I get this memo???
Go Marianne you can do it!
ReplyDeleteFailed miserably.
DeleteWill try again. :(
One, two, three, four, let's hope Marianne gets unpoor; five, six, seven, eight, winning the money would be great! Go Marianne!
ReplyDeleteOkay, can we negotiate on the minivan? Being childless and all, I'd much rather have a cute little Kia Soul, or a Fiat. Okay?
Shhh. I would've gotten you whatever you wanted, Kianwi.
DeleteAnd there has never been a better cheer ever written.
Thank you!!
Marianne, Marianne, I'm such a fan
ReplyDeleteWin that powerball and get me a van!!!
Gooooooooooo Marianne!
(okay, but seriously am not sure I can handle having THREE of them in the driveway...take pity on this poor mother and get me a sedan of my own...and btw, one of ours has 35,000 more miles than yours)
Damn. You just tied Kianwi for best cheer. Who knew that true genius could come on the heels of each other???
DeleteI think 3 minivans would've qualified you for your own reality show, no?
I can't even ride a bicycle...with training wheels, let alone drive a minivan but GO MARIANNE GO! *Hums theme tune to Rocky* :0)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lily! What if I would've flown you in to pick out your own fireman instead??
DeleteGo Marianne!!! You can do it!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you & LOVE your new picture - gorgeous!!
DeleteI could totally see Oprah popping in and yelling "YOU get a Minivan! YOU get a Minivan, EVERYONE GETS A MINIVAN!!!!" I seriously can't stop giggling at that image. Thank you for making my sleep deprived day. And I have my fingers and toes crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, signlemumof!! That was the exact image I'd hoped The View would cover. Or maybe the Nightly News.
DeleteDamn odds of winning zillions ruining everything...
Go Marianne! Yeah I'm late, I was working.
ReplyDelete6 am working? Eck. I would've cut you in for a cool million.
DeleteAnd thank you!
Pulling for you to win, as if the "fates" will ever let this happen through a blog.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the mileage, Marianne!
When my old Barrcuda turned 100,000, I had my dad and uncle in the car. Both of these men were ho hum about the event. When our Expedition-gas-guzzler-paid-for car/truck/supervan turned 200,000, my hubby and his friend (both have Alzheimer's) were in the car and both of them were not impressed. (Our sensible car was totaled by a DUI driver, and not replace because it is sensible to have only one car when your hubby has Alzheimier's and I am gone.)
By the way, I never cease to be amazed by the "mileage" you get with your replies on this blog, and always enjoy what you write on my blog. You are too young to remember Archie Bunker, but his chair is featured on my current blog.
Again, pulling for you win for us all.
It was worth a shot, right? I would've bought a round of drinks when you hit 200,000 - that's a moment!
DeleteI totally remember Archie Bunker & I'm running over to your blog now!!
Haha...I stood in line for my ticket, too...and out of all my number, I got ONE. ONE silly number.
ReplyDeleteONE?? You got hosed. Next time!
