Where’s Weebs? The big reveal

First, a great big THANK YOU to everyone who donated to Movember—between the US and Canadian teams, we raised more than $1,500! And an equally big THANK YOU to everyone who participated by growing a ‘stache, writing a Movember blog post, reblogging or tweeting Movember posts, etc.  It was a magnificent effort by all (and no, Le Clown, I’m not paying you royalties for using your word).

And thank you to everyone who participated in the Where’s Weebs? challenge.  I’ve had a lot of fun with this and hope you did too.

To refresh your memory, here were the ten photos you had to choose from:

And here’s how you guessed:

Number 1:   4 guesses
Number 2:   1 guess
Number 3:   3 guesses
Number 4:   8 guesses
Number 5:   3 guesses
Number 6:   2 guesses
Number 7:   1 guess
Number 8:   1 guess
Number 9:   9 guesses
Number 10:  2 guesses

Now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…

But first, here’s a bunny.

Just a few more seconds…

Wait, I forgot to show you this photo of a baby elephant.  Isn’t he the CUTEST???

All righty, here we go now.

Sorry, those are kittens.  My bad.

Okay, this time I mean it.  Wait for it…

Yeah, I’m #5.

Apparently this is not what you were expecting, because only three of you picked photo #5.  I know, I know, you’re thinking, “What the fuck, Weebs?  You’re smiling for the camera?!”  Yeah, I know.  But I had just brushed my teeth and I wanted to show off.

Hearty congratulations to the winners: Mike, John the Aussie, and Cathy.  Well done!  Each of you will receive a Weeble of your very own!

I suspect more people might have guessed correctly if I had posted this photo instead:

And as I promised, I’m also posting a photo of me with a mustache.  I have to admit, it does make me look quite dashing and really enhances my look. I’m just not sure I’m ready for the responsibility of having a mustache on a full-time basis.  It’s a lot to work and a lot of upkeep.  So I might just continue to go clean-shaven.

And now that you’ve seen not one, not two, but THREE photos of me, chances are excellent that you’ll never see another.  Because as you know, I hate the whole photo thing.  This was a great experience, for a great cause, and I don’t regret it.  But I’m going to go breathe into a paper bag now.

Movember Challenge: Where’s Weebs???

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!
