As you know, I was not able to participate in the Official Kickoff of Bloggers for Movember. So I have a wee bit of catching up to do.
I’m trying to come up with a special Weebles way to encourage as many people as possible to donate to our Movember team.
Other bloggers have come up with clever and unique contests where each donation counts as an entry, with prizes like one-of-a-kind artwork, special blog writeups, customized banners, etc. I don’t have any artistic skills, so that’s out for me. I could offer a blog writeup or a guest post, but I don’t want to be a copycat.
I’ve had only one idea: 
if I get X amount in donations (with the value of X to be determined), I will post an actual photo of myself, wearing a mustache. You may recall that I am notoriously camera shy. And some of you have expressed curiosity about the woman behind the Weebles, so I would be willing to show my face for a good cause. However, I’m not nearly arrogant enough to assume that this would be sufficient inducement for people to part with their cold hard cash.
So I’m going to do the only sensible thing here. I’m going to punt it back to you. What do YOU think would be a good incentive? A contest? Quiz? Other? I’ll choose whatever is the best or most popular idea in the comments area. Within reason, of course, so do try to behave yourselves…
Weebles,
I will say it first: I would put good money to see you… Perhaps I did see you already… I mean, who knows, beside you and me…
But. I think putting a face to you could be a great deal of fun for your readers… However, you will always be loved, with, or without a face.
Le Clown
Thank you for this, my Clowny friend. I mean, for all people know, and for all you and the Ringmistress know, I could be Quasimodo with lipstick.
In the words of Ned Flander’s Mother ~
“I’ve tried nothing, and I’m all out of ideas” (it’s also the motto for students in a university library)
I think I will be adopting it as my motto as well, Rutabaga.
Oh yeah – it’s a good one.
Ahhh a Simpsons reference. Always relevant! Bonus that it is linked to Ned Flanders and his infamous ‘cookie duster’.
The episode where his parents take him to a psych doc when he was a little terror – before he developed clang syndrome
indeedely-doodley!
Ha! I’ve not met anyone that knows what clan syndrome is…
How about re-enactments of famous movie scenes with Weebles?
You could do that one where Abraham Lincoln fal- Um…that bit where Dustin Hoffman topples ove- Oh.Hmm…How about where Jack Nicholson collapses in a- Gah.,,
I GOT IT!!! Do Rocky! He wobbles, but doesn’t fall down!
GENIUS!!!! I knew I could count on you, El G.
The face thing I think is a great idea, we all are curious by nature.
I, for once, put a pic of myself as a profile picture on facebook and I the amount of comments I got was unbelievable, and that’s people who knows me. In here I think it would be really nice experiment.
I’d probably get the same reaction on Facebook—I have no photo there either. Putting one up here could be good comedy relief, if nothing else.
If you wish Madame Weebles, I will donate a piece of Madame Weeble inspired silver jewellery/ trinket handmade by me and hallmarked to be either auctioned off as a side thing for you or put into a raffle…
let me know

Oooooooooh.. You had me at “silver jewellery/trinket.” Even if this turns out not to be the option I go with, I am intrigued by the fact that you make jewellery (I’m spelling it the UK way for you) and would like to learn more about your wares.
I’m just adding a gallery page into my blog with photos of some of the pieces that I’ve made… Unfortunately I haven’t photographed all of the pieces that I’ve ever made but will be adding more onto this page as I make them from now on… x
Hi Madame Weebles, I just published a new post with photos of some of the pieces I’ve made…

Still deciding if I will support team America or Canada. Is there a British one? Ah, who cares, our empire is receding I should pick a side. if you need me to do anything, just ask.
I actually am not sure how that works, Joe, if you’d need to donate to the UK site or if you can slum it on the US site. I’ll have to find out!
I’ve donated to friends growing a tache. That should do, I’ll just watch the battle unfold between you lot over there.
Weebs,
Offering to post of photo of yourself is an incredibly brave thing to do as I know that would be difficult for you, but as Le Clown says, it might be nice for your readers to put a face with your blog. However, it isn’t necessary for me. Here’s an idea…with your tea parties coming up, how about assembling a basket with tea pot, tea, a couple of cups and maybe some shortbread cookies to donate? Might fit with the theme?
Cathy
You’re a classy broad, Cathy. I love this idea. Hell, I might even enter this contest myself.
Here’s an idea – post photos of yourself with other people and let readers guess which one is you, kind of like, Where’s Waldo?, only Where’s Weebs?
I think this is a great idea!
This is a fantastic idea, Honie. See, I’m not good at thinking of things like this. Love it!
That’s a really good idea. So good, in fact, that I am claiming it as my own.
I vote this one!
oh wait, where’s the money in that? scratch that, reverse, it’s early…
I’m sure I could figure out some way of tying the money thing into it…
I plan on posting a photo of me in a mustache for Movember. But then again, I haven’t remained incognito like you. I think that’s a fine incentive.
I for one am looking forward to seeing you with a hirsute upper lip, Carrie. You take a lovely photo.
Go with the Stache pic. For sure.
It could quite possibly make you laugh yourself silly, legion. Fair warning!
Wut?
Exactly.
I think you should do a flash mob of one, with choreographed dancing and a Rush song. Perfect for a camera shy woman, no?
Custom Weeble could be good…I don’t know how that wold work. A weeble three panel comic with the face of the winner over the face of the weeble? A weeble doing the thinsg that the winner loves? Like…I dunno, what do people like? Cake? Kittens?
I’m not helping, am I. Well, you asked, and I’m lousy at execution…so…
Bye.
I must admit that the idea of doing an interpretive dance to “Tom Sawyer” as a flash mob of one is pretty darned appealing. I like the custom Weeble thing–I do actually have “blank” Weebles that I could do up like the winning blogger, doing whatever they like. Hmmm……
ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod!!!
BLANK WEEBLES! That’s so amazing. I WANT TO WIN.
How do I win again?
Sara’s brilliant.
Yes indeedy.
Everyone is so much more creative them me. Though I think pictures of you with other people and trying to guess which is you is fabulous. Of course, you and the other person both need to be wearing a mustache.
I’m not creative like that either, Janice. I too like the idea of the guessing game. And you’re right, I suppose if we weren’t all wearing mustaches it might be too easy to guess.
I vote for face.
Easy for you to say, Beautiful Becca Face.
I am batting my eyelashes at you.
I’d like to see you too. I don’t reveal myself either (I KNOW, like that picture isn’t really me, shock, right?) I did finally put my real pic up on my real facebook page as opposed to my Alice page which is . . . yeah I’m a coward. But I’m always curious about what othe people look like.
If I had an idea for raising money, I probably wouldn’t be broke. But I’ll try to think of something.
You’re kidding. That isn’t a portrait of you? I had no idea. I feel so misled.
My life is a hollow lie.
Whatever you decide, Weebs, works for me. Face or no face. You could cover your face in mustaches…no, maybe not. I think the “Where’s Weebles?” Waldo idea is fun.
The Where’s Weebles idea really is fun, isn’t it? I like it too, Bumble!
I didn’t offer to do anything for Movember. I was the asshole who just showed her face in mustaches as if to say, “I know you’ve seen it a million times, but…MY FACE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU.”
If you do decide to auction something off, I could donate something. I craft. I do…stuff.
Also, seeing your glorious face would make my life.
But you have such beautiful eyes and such awesome eye makeup, it’s all worth it, Jen. And you’re the bestest for offering to donate some of your…stuff. Also, be careful what you wish for—seeing my face may be the start of nightmares beyond your wildest dreams.
How about a pic of you warming a sex toy with a butane lighter?
I’ll see myself out.
Your first line made me laugh (as usual), Mike, but your second line made me cackle.
Cool.
I love the tea idea. Me, I’d love something with a ghostly connection. A Weebles original ghost story.
Oooooh. Good one, Kate. There’s nothing better than tea and a ghost story.
Ooh, I like the Weebles ghost story idea! I was going to suggest some autographed Weebles collectibles for the winner, but a personalize ghost story would be awesome.
Isn’t that a great idea? Although I like the idea of autographed Weebles collectibles too.
I already donated once.
hehehe
I’d be willing to do it once more for an autographed naked picture of Weebly.
Ooooh, HEY now! Is it hot in here or is it just *you*?
hehehe…always willing to warm things up and you’re gonna be looking for me come winter.
I think putting a face to the Weebs would be great. I wonder why I’m the only one to think about that one blog you wrote a while back. Yeah it was named something like “Hey, nice (something or rather).” Any one else remember that?
Well, I certainly could take a picture of my cleavage, but it would look silly with a mustache, wouldn’t it?
Oh….is that what it was about? Yeah…that would be way too silly.
Write a blog in the style of your favourite cartoon character!
What if your favorite cartoon character doesn’t have fingers? How would they type?
Headbutt!
I have to admit I’m kind of pulling for a Weeble-ish portrait, but… you know… I think everything you do is brilliant, so no worries on that front.
You mean a portrait of me, Sig, or a portrait done *by* me? Not sure which might be more comical, really.
Alcohol always seems to work for me.
Spoken like a true Englishman. I’m so proud to know you.
I want to see the Weebs. I vote for your original idea, your face in all it’s mustachioed glory!
Well, the good news is that you’ll get to see a picture of me, Mo–the bad news is that it’s sans mustache.
I thought you were going to hold up a faker mustache, no? You should since it is Movember-related!
I was going to, but then I’d need all the other photos to have mustaches too, otherwise it would kind of give it all away! And I hated to ask my friends to do the mustache thing, they were all nice enough to send me photos, I didn’t want to push it. But for the big reveal, I’ll do a mustache picture.
