Come Play the Mermaid Game!
Saturday, August 16th, almost 2:30 p.m. — Welcome to A Skeptic’s Journey with Chiropractic!
Here’s where you can play The Mermaid Game at 2:30 pm today. It’s pretty easy, at least, easier than most of the games I saw today: all you have to do is look around on my blog and find the FIRST MERMAID POST. That is, find the first post I did with the word “MERMAID ” or “MERMAIDS” in the title (there are several, that’s the challenge). Once you’ve found it (you could always read it, but hey, that’s not necessarily in the rules) you need to take note of the date it was posted. Then you just leave a comment on THIS POST that includes that date.
I’ll be monitoring the comments at that point, and the 12th person who posts a comment before the game ends at 2:40 will win a neat little prize. “Little” is the operative word there; this isn’t Jeopardy. I will then post the name of the winner here on my blog. If you see your name, and you’re at WordCamp, to claim your prize you need to find Dr. David Klein. If you’re at WordCamp only in spirit, not in body… I will have to find out how to handle that. If you’re a random reader, one of my few faithful, go ahead and play The Mermaid Game: you too can win a neat little prize. I’ll mail it to you if you win.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog and playing The Mermaid Game!

Hello…..
I guess everyone is listening to a fascinating speech instead of messing about with mermaids… alas…
Have fun!
Good, now the post counts are catching up.
Betsy, what happens if you are the 12th commenter?
I get TWO Snickers bars?? (I cut it to 12 from 25 because I realized people were in talks and weren’t going to come in droves.)
O.K. You won two snickers bars.
Unfortunately, people were either off digesting their lunch or listening to something much, much more interesting than mermaid talk — so we have no entrants, hence no winner. Maybe next year! Anyhow, come back and visit me sometime…
Thank you, David. I did leave a couple of comments on your site, but I think the pace of WordCamp is too fast for me! Geezer here, y’know…
See ya!
Hi betsy! I think you are right, everyone is in a food coma right now! I still think it is awesome you did this, and I cant wait to hear about the games you played earlier! Ill see you in the office next week!
love, mandy
OK, I’m not at WordCamp, but I just got back from Aloha Camp, so does that count? What a crazy blogger you are! Whooda thunk it? How about Wednesday, May 14th as the original Mermaid title post? Just a guess. XOXO
Sure it counts! And you are right… it was Wednesday, May 14th. I hope by “crazy blogger” you meant you like my blog! I will send you a prize… Love you, and thanks SOOOOOO much for leaving a comment.
Actually, of the three comments that were left (the other two on another post), Sarah’s is the only one that gave the correct date of the original Mermaid post. Thanks to all three of you folks for playing the Mermaid Game on Saturday!
