Funniest caption wins a bag of great coffee

Christmas in July! It's the time of giving. Purrrfect!



So, I'm having a contest of sorts. Give this cat car the funniest caption or description, and I'll send you a 12oz. bag of Caribou Coffee's delicious signature blend. If you like coffee, or know someone who does, this will be a nice treat to get in the mail. Click on the photo to read the taste description. I'm drinking some right now, and it's wonderful. (You like my product shot photo, complete with coon skin cap? Hope so! A sudden burst of whimsy brought that on.) :)



Send up to 3 entries per person, as a DM to my twitter @lisacolondelay, a message to me (Lisa Colón DeLay) on Facebook, or just right here in the comments section, (you don't need a blogger acct to leave a message). I'll start a selection process once I hit 75 entries-So please pass along the news, so we get a bunch of high quality laughs.

HAVE FUN!

My fascination with micro-blogging, micro-"fame", and how the playing field gets leveled 140 slots at a time

I've been sucked into the mirco-world of Twitter. I admit it. I really dig micro-blogging. With 140 characters, and a social network working for a person, even the pen is not mightier than the Tweet. That's because the Tweet is instant and potent. News travels fast, and may contain links with video, or loads of extra info. and news. Also-and here's the BIG one. It's free.

For me, it's not about becoming well-known, it's about disseminating very helpful information that makes life better, that changes lives. Or, that brightens someone's day. To me, that's "micro-fame" if Twitter is involved.

@mashable has nearly 100,000 followers, and the influence there shut down a part of yahoo recently, and sold out a company's line of shirts, with just a few characters. The shirt said, "Eat, Sleep, Tweet."
