M...It's never too late to congratulate me. :)<br /><br />Malisa - I Googled me - it should only be me who comes up - in case you were wondering what was said about me. The Star Ledger had the best article...I found it the other day online but I forgot where it was buried...anyway, not as many hits as before - but still some: https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=%22bulwer+lytton+fiction+contest%22+mariann+simms+&oq=%22bulwer+lytton+fiction+contest%22+mariann+simms+&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_l=hp.3...24141l28313l1l29031l11l11l0l0l0l7l375l2702l2-4j5l9l0.frgbld.&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=c98d3a4d2852b109&biw=1119&bih=556<br /><br />Here's my CNN transcript (since they spelled my name right, you'd never find it) which has a few errors in there - they aren't going to erect a bus - it would be a bust...which, coincidentally I am in need of at my age as it's all gone "tube-socky" on me. :( <br /><br />http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0307/16/lol.14.html<br /><br />I'm sure that is more than any of you should want to read. But you guys should enter the contest. :)Mariann Simmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974827167853824792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-39277701051231855092012-04-14T17:15:56.900-05:002012-04-14T17:15:56.900-05:00I so wanted to enlarge that photo and read the art...I so wanted to enlarge that photo and read the articles.

I forgot to mention Conan ...Always more attention. I forgot to mention Conan O'Brien wanted me on his show and then, at the last minute, said, "Eh...we're not sure if we can fill up six minutes with this." RIGHT...Apparently someone NEVER talked to me before! Six hours later and I still wouldn't be close to stopping. What fools. I secretly think they didn't want me showing him up with my witty banter (I had been on several radio shows here in the US and one television show from Australia)-- each one was besieged by comments by listeners/viewers that they should replace the host with me. (No, seriously, audience members said it.) You certainly wouldn't want someone upstaging you when you interview them on television, now would you? So, they cancelled on me. Dammit!<br /><br />And yes, always trying to gain more public attention...I am a very good media whore. :)Mariann Simmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974827167853824792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-8841951885078653852012-04-14T14:06:45.998-05:002012-04-14T14:06:45.998-05:00OMG!
