The rules are:
- Post your favorite quote to your blog by midnight on Saturday March 31st, in an entry entitled "Quirky Quote Qontest Entry" and link to it using "Mr. Linky" below.
Your quote may be from anywhere - a song, movie, book, famous speech. The quote can be political, religious, politically incorrect, and otherwise controversial - but please keep it family friendly. (Hey - my kids and friends kids occasionally read this blog! They are usually bored to tears - but sometimes they read and even comment!) The quotes do not have to be quirky as the contest name suggests. - PLEASE READ OTHER ENTRIES PRIOR TO SUBMISSION - the second submission of same quote will not be eligible.
- I will host a voting time from April 1st – 6th – so come back and vote for your favorite quotes.
- Post on your blog and put up a button if you like about the “qontest” and tell others to come and enter – if they comment here (on this post) and mention that you sent them I will add another point to your entry and tally it as another vote.
- You may enter this contest twice - every other contest says only once, but why be like the rest! So a two quote limit for you - but please post them as separate entries for my sake!
- Contest winner will be announced on Saturday, April 7th.
I'll get you started with my current favorite quote from the movie Man of the Year:
I have a glorious love-hate relationship with TV. TV scares me. It makes everything seem credible. If everything seems credible, then nothing seems credible. TV puts everybody in those boxes side by side. On one side, there’s this certifiable lunatic that says the holocaust never happened, and next to him is this noted, honored historian who knows all about the holocaust, and now there they sit, side by side. They look like equals. Everything they say seems to be credible – and so as it goes on nothing seems credible anymore. We just stop listening!
-Man of the Year
Happy Quoting!
PLEASE BE SURE TO USE MR. LINKY TO LINK TO THE CONTEST ENTRY POST - AND NOT JUST TO YOUR BLOG IN GENERAL. IT IS VERY TIME CONSUMING TO HUNT THESE ENTRIES DOWN! THANKS
Oh I soooooo want a jazzy new template that is more me. Mine so plain! Something with pizazz! Now, if I didn't have to pick just one quote! Do I get a prize if I post the most quotes???? LOL!

Sounds like fun. I collect quotes, too. I have two huge text files full of them. I have so many favorites ... I'm not sure how I'll pick. Wish I could enter 200 times. ;)
ReplyDeleteCan I sway the voting by using some Texas quotes? Like "Don't Mess With Texas" or maybe "Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be" George Strait. No go? Oh well, I'll come up with something winning!
ReplyDeletehow hard is this contest???
ReplyDeletei can't pick, i started throwing darts!
Fun contest Julie!!

I hearby say that I've entered this fantastic contest for the fully alloted number of entries. *L* Though - I don't think I can compete with Miss Piggy.
ReplyDeleteHey, I think I'll enter the contest. Thanks for letting us know. By the way, I see you have great quote posted from one of my fav movies, Kate & Leopold. That is the best line in the movie!

Quick question- is this for a FREE template, or a discount on one? I am seeing some blogs say it's free!
ReplyDeleteSteph

I vote for Nichole, mia's mommy! (#16)
ReplyDeleteHope there's room for warped quirkiness here at this quirky quote qontest! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a Grand idea. Thanks, how will I ever narrow it down to one....or two?
ReplyDeleteI'm In. Can't wait to read all the entries.
ReplyDeletewow
ReplyDeleteonly *two* quotes>>>>>
difficult.
but i have one for you to guess, sparked by the one you left:
in my day, television was called books, and this is a special book. my father used to read it to me, and today i'm going to read it to you...
love kate in new zealand X
AWWWWW Thanks Amber...HUGS!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I will find another quote but I am just fine with the one... =-D
Nichole
Mr. Linky doesn't have a widget for QQQ... which one do you want us to use?
ReplyDeleteMy first one is up and will be followed within the next 24 hours by #2.
Who doesn't love a good quote? I read about the contest on Nichole's (mia's mommy)blog and had to come check it out. I cheated a bit and put my 2 entries in one post. Please don't hold it against me... I was under duress. I know i couldn't have spelled that one right, but I've been looking at everything in cyrillic for 2 1/2 weeks... the English language has somewhat escaped my mushy brain.
ReplyDeleteFun contest Julie, I hope I did it right
ReplyDeleteWow, some great quotes- some made me think, some made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteSorry_ I entered my name twice. I don't know how to fix that.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!! I love old quotes so it was fun to dig in and find a good one...
ReplyDeleteI posted my quotes. I had trouble with the button, but eventually I'll get the hang of blogging. Lot of great quots out there and some great blogs too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help Julie! Can't wait to read all the quotes!
ReplyDeleteYay I am so excited to have stumbled upon this post and enter this contest :)
ReplyDeleteI love reading all these quotes - I am a collector too!
Celebrate Life!
