Aaron is putting together a deck of Blogger Trading Cards. HeÂ’s looking for nominations for various bloggers to be in the deck. IÂ’m not going to repost all his rules and regulations, if you want to know what they are go check out his post.

The question is do I nominate someone or multiples and who and why? That is a tough question, because anyone I regularly visit I feel deserves a nomination for various reasons. (Content, personality, assistance, etc) Nevertheless, IÂ’m not going to nominate everyone. However, I am going to nominate three people. Why three? Why notÂ… do I have to explain everything I do? YouÂ’re not my wife! (Unless Ktreva is reading, this and IÂ’ll explain to you later) Just chalk it up to the fact that I like the number 3.

Here I go.

First, I nominate Graumagus of Frizzen Sparks for Spades. His Retrosexual code alone warrants him a nomination. His wit, that has been turned into chain letters and even hit various media outlets, would be enough to earn such a nomination. Throw in the fact that when heÂ’s not trying to kill himself through sleep deprivation, and actually posts, heÂ’s a pretty funny guy. That locks in my vote.

Secondly, I nominate Ogre of OgreÂ’s Politics and Views for Diamonds. IÂ’m not sure if he even would want his own playing card but IÂ’m nominating him anyway. Whenever I ask him for assistance or e-mail him a question, he promptly responds and assists me. Sometimes I wonder why the hell he stays in North Carolina with all of his posts. Anyone that can put up with the Carolina political problems and all of my questions deserves a nomination. Plus as his Thrall I believe IÂ’m obligated to.

Thirdly, I nominate CalTechGirl of Not Exactly Rocket Science for Hearts. And not because she was begging for a nomination. Every time IÂ’ve asked for technical help with code or with my blog, she has stepped up and tried to assist. My side bar very easily could have said I was a Thrall of hers if Ogre hadnÂ’t beaten her to the punch. SheÂ’s even given advice on personal issues IÂ’ve posted in the past. That and if I didnÂ’t nominate one female IÂ’m sure someone would label me a sexist. (ThatÂ’s a joke CTGÂ… DonÂ’t hurt me!)

There you go my three nominees. As I said above, if I could I would nominate everyone on my side bar. A lot of you deserve it for various reasons, so please no hate mails/comments about how much I suck because I didnÂ’t nominate you. However, if you really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want to know why I choose those three over you, go ahead and e-mail me. IÂ’ll be more then happy to lie to you!

Myself, personallyÂ… I donÂ’t think I could qualify as the instruction card!

UPDATE: I added the suites for each person per this post over at aarons.

1 I don't need html to hold you in my thrall

How's that for sexist?

2 HEY HEY HEY! I'm married and immune to your feminine charms!

3 Kind of a neat idea - I think it'd be even more fun to create MTG Cards though - each blogger gets a special power, AND a quote!

4 I'm married and therefore incapable of spewing innuendo

Thanks!
