Definitely (c).
Definitely.
jazzy said:
i'm going with b.)
but only because "i'm being a lazy ass" isn't a choice.
we all know he never plans out comment prizes.
Becky said:
yeah, and even when he alludes to there BEING prizes, if you actually do win, he comes up with some arbitrary reason to disqualify you...
my official answer is "c" because "celly" is totally omar.
Jon said:
I'm going with e) and I encourage everyone else to go that way too. And to take it even further, I'm going to demand that we have video footage made available of Omar performing said chicken noodle soup dance.
Jonathan said:
I was going to go with F) All of the above, but I can't believe Omar would go around saying - "hit me on my celly". So of the ones left, I would say the most obvious answer is - A) he is an international spy, and this is a busy time of year in the spy business.
Come on people he has Wee Ninjas guarding his website, someone had to train them.
Besides I need to make 93 more guesses in the next 2 minutes in order to be the 5000th commenter.
Of course after the 92th post someone else will probably come in and snipe the prize.

I vote A. Know why? Because I have a little kid at home too and I play a spy every day of the week. That would be a spy in the sense of the "I Spy" books, and the never tiresome, "I Spy" games.
I spy with my little eye......
glo said:
I know (d) is out and I hope (e) doesn't result in a video. I'm going with (g) he's channeling Hollywood and believes the longer the audience waits for a new episode, the more likely they are to buy the product.
glo said:
if you disagree, you can always hit me on my celly.
Rhonda said:
Are you sure you haven't been spending all your free time at the gym? ;)
Hmmm...I guess I'll go with b.
Note to CAROL: I post way more than Omar does. Shah!

Lia said:
I go with (b). And I thought that before I read the comments and found out how many people think the same. We can't all be wrong.
(c) would certainly encourage more blogging, since I'm sure it would provoke some great incidents.
Lianne said:
Don't forget leaving comments on others' blogs and totally deflating their technogasm about the iPhone!
wendela said:
I'll say choicef because I can understand, as I've been busy at all the same. 'Cept that chicken dance thing. Oh, yeah, and the prize thing. Sorry, I have no prizes. But I'll still celebrate.
Carrot Jello said:
Do we win something if we guess right. Maybe star in one of your movies or something? Because I need to know if I should think hard about my answer, or just guess.
Jonathan said:
"Total # of comments: (hidden until comment #5000)"
Great! I can see it now -
"Is this the 5000th post"
refresh
"Nope still hidden"
"Is this the 5000th post"
refresh
"Nope still hidden"
over and over and over again
"Is this the 5000th post"
refresh
"Nope still hidden"

PS - I wonder if you will get to 78000 views before the 5000th post?
glo said:
Dude. Omarphillips.net totally censored me.
Bec said:
You hear that? Omarphillips.net doesn't believe in free speech. Pass it on.
Cheeve said:
Whoa. Omar Phillips doesn't support he Constitution. This is huge, man.
randomguy said:
This is an anti-American website! Just sitting there on the Internet? I was so beguiled by the innocent looking cartoon character on the banner, but now that I look more closely, he does look like he's trying to blend, doesn't he? I saw the same thing at an airport once.
Angel said:
None of us can judge Omar. He has every right to say what he likes on his website. If we said he had to NOT censor, we'd be as guilty as the flag burners. If we claim to believe in free speech, then we also have to support free censorship. But i'm not sure how that works.
Cheeve said:
I'll bet anyone $15 all these comments are gone by 9 am PST.
glo said:
Hey! Hey! This is *officially* out of control. Mine was a seemingly innocent attack on the organization and see how quickly it degraded into chaos. Let this be a lesson to us all.
P.S. I'll take that bet.
demosthenes said:
Uh... I was going to guess (a) and (d) but I think I'll now vote...
(g) coming up with ways to limit the natural freedoms handed down by our founding fathers
circa 10:52 pm ET
Syar said:
F, because you do it all and option H - inadvertently starting a riot on your own blog.
Your multi tasking skills amaze me.

omar! we're not supposed to even allude to the *business.* bossman's gonna be pissed.
for the record, f.
Nadia said:
I'm going with option I, as in...
...I can't believe how long it's been since Omar's posted, so I've decided that I will now dedicate all my energy into what I believe to be the most worthwhile cause: kicking the ass of everyone who is not I, until Omar stops his busy-spying/bowl-watching/celly-pimping/prize-planning/dance-learning/freedom-curbing/riot-starting and gives I what I want, i.e. blog-writing.
HaIyah!
I said:
Wow, there is some quality comment padding going on here.
Haboob.
jazzy said:
did i hear something about a violation of free speech?!
does anyone need a lawyer!
call me!

Becky said:
omar DOES have a history of unnecessary censorship. i'm sure we ALL remember his treatment of Curious George and poor Dory the fish... good thing he doesn't ever do THAT anymore...

glo said:
Omar! This is scandalous! I defended you before...but now...my whole world view is changing!
And who's comment padding? Not me. That's for dang sure.
Screaming Buffalo said:
I'll vote (b) for Boise State, the best bowl game of all time. None can compare. And i just hope that Omar and I have something in common besides a lack of posting.
I said:
Regarding these anti-constitution allegations, all I'm saying is that the constitution only protects people from the government. Your mom, dad, non-government boss, teacher, older sibling, and Omar are all allowed to restrict your speech.
Lia said:
Your statement that a teacher is allowed to censor must be qualified by "non-public school". Because the public school teachers are government employees.
Anyhow, I somehow think it's beneath you to censor us. You ought to be able to handle whatever we dish out.
And notice how I haven't been padding your comment count in an obvious bid to win a prize. I'm only commenting if I have something to say. Let that be a lesson to everyone.

Dude, I think it's time for a new quiz/poll. Or maybe a post to explain the current one.
