We had the contest last night, ending late afternoon today. 6PM was the cut-off. Claudia, timely as ever, has picked a winner.
Without further doo-doo, here are Claudia’s picks.
Honorable Mentions:
chuck
moe tom deserves a free whistle because he’s moe tom, and nobody else could be moe tom…..and if you won’t give him a free whistle, you are an unmentionable, so there…..and besides, i’ll pay for it….so you better damn well give him a free whistle…..OR ELSE…….because otherwise…dogs and cats living together!!!!….san andreas!!!…..2012!!…oh sorry, my bad, that one didn’t work out so well…
but you STILL better give moe tom a free whistle…..or i will never ever cease reading and commenting here, SO THERE!!!!

Moetom deserves a whistle because of all the great records he produced back in the 1950’s and 60’s. We’re talking Michael Jackson, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Frankie Valli, and too many others to name here. His contribution to popular music… Oh, wait – that’s MOTOWN I’m thinking of, not Moetom.
Never mind…
Runner up:
Because this made me sniffle – Claudia
Moetom
I remember well Keith’s tragic death. RIP Keith. I would treasure it.
And the winner is:
Wyatt, Insensitive Progressive Jerk
Moetom deserves a whistle because he is a salt of the earth old coot who speaks straight. And when he is on the site for a while while sipping a few adult beverages, he is still the same salt of the earth old coot who speaks straight – but just doesn’t type as well.
Wyatt, email bigfurhat.mail@gmail.com to claim your whistle courtesy of Menderman.
Well done, Wyatt!
Does MoeTom get a friggin whistle or what?!
Geez!
Well Wyatt, that wasn’t very insensitive of you.
Now look what it got you…a doggone whistle.
I guess now you can wander through the streets, restaurants, churches and libraries, tooting that whistle all day, being an insensitive jerk to your heart’s content.
Congrats!
Let him buy his own whistle.
(I can be as insensitive as Wyatt.)
Congrats!! Wyatt. and I hope Moe Tom gets one too. :))
It looks like my scuba whistle. Interesting. 🙂
Congratulations. I couldn’t think of anything to say last night because I have been past the threshold of my tolerance for pain.
But tonight I am getting drunk. We’ll see if that does any fckn good.
I hear Moe Tom is pretty good at getting drunk, and that’s a good enough reason as any for a whistle.
Ain’t just whistling Dixie. 😉
Sorry I missed this earlier! Moe Tom deserves whatever IOTW wants to dole out as he has been here as long as anyone else I can think of. Always with a pithy comment – and sometimes pissed off comment – but all equally enjoyable.
Wyatt, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for insensitive progressive jerks. I hope that if you bring your program of whistle harassment to Yonkers (I specifically recommend the campus of Sarah Lawrence College, with you tooting such ferocious blasts on your whistle that the entire student body and faculty will be driven into the nearest “safe space”), you will pay me a visit–I’m by the mall. It would be a great honor to make you a sammich, because I’m heteronormative and in my view, sammich-making is woman’s work.
Congrats!
Yay! congrats!
MoeTom, be advised it can also be used as a RAPE WHISTLE!
If I like my whistle can I keep my whistle, if I get my whistle? Anyway it was a fun contest.
“Let him buy his own whistle.”
Really? Do I need to waste the time and money sending you to reeducation camp? I am a progressive, and I do not buy things – people give them to me.
Anyway – while I usually submit entries to contests and never win, it was a privilege to participate in a contest with one of my favorite commenters – Moetom – as the subject.
So BFH wants me to buy my own whistle? Really? Do I need to waste the time and money sending you to reeducation camp? I am a progressive, and I do not buy things – people give them to me.
Anyway – while I usually submit entries to contests and never win, it was a privilege to participate in a contest with one of my favorite commenters – Moetom – as the subject.
And next week, I will learn to not post duplicates.
Congratulations to Wyatt on the winning entry! Good job.
P.S. – If I had won, I was going to donate my whistle to the next contest, which would have been called, “Why Should Motown Get TWO Free Whistles?”
Oh, wait —
😛
Good point Wyatt, I was the subject, thank you> Do subjects get paid? Rest assured I’m going to look into this and have my lawyer send BFH a stiff letter, soon as he sobers up. That’s no shit!
“Good point Wyatt”?
M-T, ahem, who was advocating for a whistle on your behalf at the beginning of this post?
No respect I tell ya, no respect!
Wyatt, I think BigFruHat’s comment “Let him buy his own damn whistle” applied to Moetom. Which means, Wyatt, YOU get the whistle free and clear for submitting the winning entry. BigFurHat is out-insentivising you. I’ll be glad to send the cost of the whistle to PO Porto St Lucia so that Moetom gets his (if you still think he should have one.)
LBS, Yeah, a regular Johnathan fuckin’ Gruber act.
“Whistle me up a memory
Whistle me back where I want to be
Whistle me a tune that will carry me
To Tombstone Territory.”
Something tells me Mrs. Tommy is going to end up with that whistle. It might make a good training aid for Mr. Tommy.
Brad. I’m already qualified with a pacifier, damnit!
your poor wife Tommy. Hee Hee Hee. I can only imagine.
Tommy, is this you?

Well, I’m glad that Wyatt and Moetom get whistles, and all that shit, but jus cuz I didn’t interr the contest dosen’t not mean that I shudn’t not get a whistle, two!
I meen, it jus ain’t not fare!
<……printing out "honorable mention" to frame and hang next to NMSC certificte……….
certificate…….
Moe Tom, If BFH won’t send you a free whistle, I will! Just send me a self addressed envelope (include $79.95 for shipping and handling) and your whistle will be on it’s way! If you act now, you will get two whistles for the price of one! (just be sure to include another $79.95 for the second free whistle). Text me at 867-5309 and I’ll give you the details.
🙂
BTW, here is the website to sign up for “free” whistles……
