The idea for this challenge came from the ingenious mind of Honie Briggs. Thank you, Honie!
Below are photos of ten women. Nine of them are my beautiful friends. One of them is me, the camera-averse Madame Weebles. Your challenge: Figure out Where’s Weebs?
You’ll notice these are all black & white photos and I’ve cropped out details like hair, etc. I’ve also stripped each photo of EXIF and all other metadata, in case you were thinking about trying to get some clues that way. But to give you a sporting chance, here are some hints to help you out: I’m white, and I sometimes wear glasses. Sometimes. So I may or may not be wearing them in my photo.
Each donation you make to the Bloggers to Movember team will buy you a chance to guess which one is me. Put your cursor over each photo for the hovertext number to use in your guess. You can enter up to three guesses, but you’ll need to make a donation for each guess. It’s only fair!
If you’re in the United States, click here to donate. If you’re in Canada, click here to donate. When you fill out your donation form, please leave a note with your blogger name and include “Where’s Weebs” so I know who you are.
Le Clown set the bar pretty high; he’s already more than halfway to his goal of $1000 in donations. I, too, would like to get $1000 in donations for our team, but I’m pretty easy (just ask Mr. Weebles). Any amount I can raise for this worthy cause will be wonderful.
Of all the correct guesses, I’ll choose one winner at random. If you win, not only will you get eternal bragging rights, but you will also get A WEEBLE OF YOUR VERY OWN, from my vast collection.
Please enter your guesses below. You have until November 30th. Let the games begin!
I was hoping to pick you out by mustache-type because I would have pegged you as a Tom-Selleck. I am more of Yosemite Sam. They’re all lovely, but I’m going with #1 because she looks kind of pissed off and reminds me of how you probably looked when you wrote your “Fuck you Rightwingers” post.
I was going to ask everyone to pose with a mustache but I figured it would be more of a pain for everyone. I’ve already asked them to appear in a photo lineup with me, they’ve already done enough. However, I think I’m more of a Sam Elliott. As for your guess, you could very well be correct. Or not.
This is maddening! And GENIUS!
Isn’t it?? I can’t wait to find out which one is me!
Honestly! Ingenious mind? I will match the winner’s donation. (god I hope you people aren’t rich!) I use my powers for good. (Almost always.)
You’re a kind and generous soul, Honie. Thank you so so much. And yes, you have an ingenious mind. Don’t argue with me, lady, it’s true.
Yes! I am so glad you went with the idea to post a picture of yourself!
Me too, Emily–I’m actually enjoying this!
I’m going to guess #9 because there is an air of “I don’t give a fuck” about the picture that I think embodies you.
You think so, do you? Hmm. You could be right.
Donation# R-13829437-17257533
I pic #9 (although I think #1 is a close contender). Aren’t you supposed to grow a mustache for this?
Well, to be honest, I felt that the mustache would give the game away. I had one, but I shaved it off to make my photo look more like the others. As for your guesses, you may have something there. One of them could be me.
I’d donate but 22 months of unemployment has told me to shut me yapper.
22 months of unemployment can suck my dick. Seriously. I’m pulling for you, Jules. You deserve to be employed constantly and repeatedly.
But wait..can I have until November 31st?
I hadn’t thought of that—yes, you can have an extension to the 31st, but only you!
Auwe! I’ve already shot the wad on a donation! xoxoM
You know what, I’ve decided that if people have already donated, they should be allowed to play. So give it a go, Margarita—which one is me??
Okay, so I carefully examined the evidence, errrr, photographs. There are 3 wearing glasses, and Madame makes a point of telling us she sometimes wears glasses; hmmmm, why would she narrow the choice to 3 after giving us a field of 10? Or, maybe…I suck at this, so I’m going the time-honored “eenie-meenie” route and wind up with: Photograph #3! Okay then! xoxoM
Number 3… Good choice, whether it’s me or not!
I’m torn between number 1 and number 3. Number 3 appears to have curly hair…
She does, doesn’t she…
You are going to make a million goddamned dollars, lady.
Wouldn’t that be nice????
i donated to Team USA on one of the first days, but I don’t know my donation number. I think the glasses comment was to throw us off–you said you sometimes wear glasses–that doesn’t mean always. So I’m going with number 10.
Yes indeedy, I don’t ALWAYS wear glasses. Number 10 is a good choice. They’re all good choices, really.
You’re the hot chick, obviously.
Donated a while ago. I’ll just wait for the big reveal.
Guap wins!! You nailed it, I’m the hot one. And since you already donated to the cause, even if not for this challenge, go ahead–take a guess.
Great idea Weebly! Come on people…donate and make a guess! It’s a great cause.
Thanks Mistress! And since you already donated to the Canadian team, that’s earned you a chance to guess too. So take a look at the lineup–which one is Weebly?
Bottom right? She has a nice smile.
Interesting. She does have a nice smile, doesn’t she.
Well CRAP – I donated last week before all the FUN started…
Yes you did. So even though it wasn’t for my challenge, it earns you a chance to play. Take your best shot. Which of these 10 ladies is the Madame?
#4
Number 4, eh? She’s quite lovely, yes.
I can’t wait for you to reveal it all….
And thank you!
I donated to Team USA a while ago. I think you’re the “what the hell is going on over there,” number 9.
A lot of people seem to think I’m number 9. Interesting.
You do have beautiful friends, Madame Weebles. I’m torn between guessing number one, because that is the face of a woman who can write “Fuck You, Pantyhose!” and the woman in the sunglasses, not quite willing to fully reveal herself even now. I’ve donated to Le Clown’s campaign, but look forward to the big reveal…
That’s very true, Delicious. Sunglasses are definitely a good prop for a woman who hates showing her photo to people.
…Santa Claus is not real…
…Amtrak’s ‘motorcoach’ is a short bus…
…Madame Weebles is…
I have reached the age where one faces reality- BRING IT ON!
Oh, consider it brought, Toulouse!
What a great idea, and all of those women are beautiful!
Hobbles!!! So happy to see you!!
I miss you.
Ha! I’ll be throwing my guess once I process my donation.
You’re awesome, sir.
Oh, I’m in.
EXCELLENT, Mike. It’s Go time!
This is genius and I believe all those womens are hot, hot, hot. I can’t wait to find out!
Me either!
Okay. I am going to try #6.
#6, eh? Yeah, that could be me.
I’ve narrowed it down based on that I hate my photo taken too so I never look at the camera and smile. I donated to friends in the UK, sorry America and Canada.
You’ve been a diehard supporter since Day One, Joe, so you can play. Come on, have a go–which one do you think is me?
Ok, what’s the deal…after a clown interrupted my dreams, you were in my dream last night! (actually another blogger was also in my dream at the weekend too, I’ll write about it all)
In the dream I had in my mind which number you were, but then you appeared in the dream as one of the others. You may have still been trying to trick me as I was quite sure which one you were.
I thought number 9 then you appeared as number 3. You go to some lengths to throw people off the scent. What did you think of my dream world anyway? Does it need a lick of paint?
I like your dream world, Joe. You have some interesting visitors! Next time I’ll remember not to drink the wine ahead of time. So number 9 or number 3, eh? One of those might be true.
I’ll stick with nine. I don’t trust my dream state.
I wanted to go with 3 but that’s a red herring I think, the glasses thing that’s just evil I just can’t decide
Oh, go ahead, Bruce, you have a 1 in 10 chance of being right!
So, if I donated already for another blogger, I can’t make a quess? Jah? ‘Cause I’m guessing number 9. So I can type, “Number 9. Number 9. Number 9″ and show how old and pathetic I am!
Then I’m old and pathetic too because I know what you’re referring to, Janice!
Well, of course! You remember and have weebles. By the way, how DID you get the one in your banner to fall down?
I had to put down a layer of heavy-duty adhesive to keep him from popping up—those little guys REALLY don’t want to fall down!
I say number 9 as well. I donated to the US team already.
You just reminded me, I still have to put in my own donation!
I put in three donations in your name, Weebs, so I get three guesses.
I really think #2, is you, but you could also be #5 or #9.
That’s a good 30% chance of being correct, Cathy. And who knows, maybe your ability to read energy has helped you identify the correct photo!
I think so. Scanned them. That’s why I think it’s #2.
I am extremely intrigued by this…
Send me an email. We can talk about it sometime…
Weebles,
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!! And people better pick up their enthusiast when it comes to this most magnificent™ incentive if they do not want a mad French clown hiding under their beds…
Le Clown
I thought you were French-Canadian. I’m so confused. A French-Canadian clown hiding under the bed is way more terrifying than a French clown. Un pitre Québécois — c’est vraiment horrible.
Weebles,
You’re absolutely right. But I have half a brain tonight, thus half an identity…
Le Clown
Even with half a brain, you are always larger than life.
Whew! Glad I coughed up!
Oh, you did it, Madame!! This is great. I’m so excited you did it. All of these women are beautiful. I’ve donated already. I’m not sure I can wait until November 30th to find out….Do we get any more clues?
If you’ve already donated, you can play too, Bumble! Come on, take a guess!
donation: R-14236905-17707729
Number 8
Thank you so much, cooper!! Number 8….she’s awfully pretty.
But with a twinge of mischief…
I’m going for number 7. I’ll find a donation station in Rotterdam and get back to you when the deed is done…
You’re the best, Dutch! So you’re going for number 7—an excellent choice.
Hey Weebs. Ok, so I couldn’t get a donation to your account, but I did donate to my friend Rob, here in NL. €10, which is around $13 (I’m not cheap, just skint). I know you can’t count this as yours officially, but you should still add it on as it was your encouragement that did it.
Mik
Hi Mik! Thank you SO much!!!
Intriguing!
It’s a bit like ‘Clue’… only… not… really.
Either way I’m sure Mr. Body is pretty stoked he gets to live-on.
Right?? It’s TOTALLY like Clue, except without the weapons or the mansion.
Great contest, Madame Weebles – it’s incredibly brave of you to have you picture taken! I sent in my regular donation to the Cancer Society at the beginning of the month, and I’ll do my Movember donation from my book sales at the end of the month.
I just can’t decide whether to vote for 1 or 9. They both have that “If you take my picture, I will dismember you and throw your still-twitching body parts to the four corners of the earth” vibe.
I’m waiting with bated breath…
Your donation is such a wonderful gesture, Diane. Thank you!! So many people are picking number 1 or number 9. It’s like you guys know me or something.
Donation is in!
I feel confident that you are not 2, 5, or 10. … but 1, 4, 7, 8 are my finalists …. so I’m going with 1, … no 4 … no 7 … no 8 …. crap! …. 4 it is.
Thank you, Frank!
So you think I’m the one in number 4. Well well.
As I said, 2, 5, & 10 seem familiar to me that I’ve seen elsewhere, so thus why I threw them out. So I used one other idea to narrow the field. Bottom line … as long as you know, that is important.
Just got my donation in……I’m thinking #4….
Bless you, Brother Jon! Another vote for number 4….intriguing.
Blimey, you couldn’t even give us a real clue, like holding a Weeble or something
Cheers
I thought about it, but a lot of the Weebles are camera-shy too.
Ok, I donvoted for 4
Number 4 seems to be a very popular choice, Nigel. Who’da thunkit?
I’ve donated and you’re #4…right?
Oh, I can’t lie to you, Red. I’m number 4. Or I’m another number.
Also, thank you very much for donating, Red!!
Not a problem, that’s money in the bank!
Ok, Weebs…i’m guessing. I’m going to say #4 for some reason. It’s just instinct (that’s if I’m right!). Something about the way #4 is looking directly into the camera…of course, some of the others are too. I’m going with #4.
Another vote for number 4. Gee, I wonder if it’s me…
I want you to know I didn’t look at the other votes…I didn’t want to be influenced. Are you revealing at the end of the month? I don’t think I can wait that long.
I am indeed revealing at the end of the month! Just to give everyone else time to donate and such. Two more weeks!
Seeming as two numbers haven’t yet been guessed… I am going to choose #5 …. Why? Because it is one of two that great care has been taken to show LITTLE hair as possible, plus the picture of your hand and partial arm when turned black and white give one of 4 of the same grey shade… Okay I lied about the hand vs grey shade…
I just chose 5 because no-one else had and I thought the other number (who ever reads this has to work out themselves) was a mind trick…
(Reason for vote over at http://fearnoweebles.wordpress.com/2012/11/14/seriously/#comment-10260)
Hmmm, number 5. That’s true, nobody has guessed number 5 yet. That one could be me. On the other hand, maybe it isn’t me.
I’m guessing 9 – because she’s looking mysteriously of to the right. ^.^
People seem to be drawn to number 9—I can see why, she does indeed look mysterious. Perhaps it’s me.
mmmmmmmm number 4?
(I donated to one of our team members)
Yay! Another vote for number 4! I like her. She seems nice.
Awesome idea!
