Daily Digest 14 (Mon 5/16)
UHUB...@gmail.com
Another Monday, another Ultimate Blogger Challenge video (we're all
getting used to the routine). This video wasn't posted until nearly
noon today, but our hosts assure us that's just because they "then got
hit in the face with the technical issues truck." Ouch!
This round's challenge is to write about a "new product," which might
be something related to greater enjoyment of motorcycles,
salt-n-pepper, getting dressed, or being closer to your pet...to just
name a few examples from the video. We're looking forward to seeing
(and ordering?) the great new products we're sure our favorite bloggers
will all come up with. And did you notice the URL in the video? Check
out the official New Productª on the Urban Honking website:
http://www.urbanhonking.com/newproduct/ We haven't tried calling the
number on the New Product ad yet, but it's a 503 area code, and that's
Portland, so maybe you'd be lucky enough to find Steve, Mike, or Jona
on the other end of the line.
WE HARDLY KNEW YE, SONNY
Speaking of favorite bloggers, it's now time to bid a fond goodbye to
Sonny...when we predicted Sonny or Lois would leave yesterday it was
just that -- a prediction, not our "vote." We thought we'd figured out
the alliance structure, but we just weren't sure. After today's vote,
though, we feel pretty confident that the super5-alliance must be Mimi,
Ritchey, Lyova, Medya and (as today's vote clarified for us) Lois, and
with James and Willow both under immunity, that left only Sonny... He
was doomed by his lack of alliances.
It wasn't Sonny's blogging that got him the 404, but rather the dirty
reality of island politics. In any case, your unique voice and
experiences will be missed in the Den. As many commenters noted, your
last post was one of your best. You were just getting warmed up, it
seems.
Readers, you can keep up with Sonny's overseas adventures at
http://hokie.us/. And Sonny, take care, and come home safe.
BLOGMAN BIRTHDAY
Since the day this game was announced we've been busy compiling all the
information we could find on our game hosts. We have nearly complete
dossiers on each of them. This includes all their birthdays. According
to our information (and confirmed on UrbanHonking Exchange), tomorrow
(May 17th) is the birthday of game host, Mike. Happy birthday to our
favorite snazzy dresser. You can leave birthday greetings on his blog:
http://www.kmikeym.com/blog/ or maybe you want to buy him a present:

Since no challenge blog entries were submitted today, tomorrow is bound
to be a big day tomorrow. See you tomorrow with a play-by-play look at
the New! Improved! blog entries.
