[Here’s where I won my title](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=262863), just in case you missed it. 😉 True to **lainaf** ’s word, I received my prize in the mail today; [My Book About Me, by Dr. Suess](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0394800931/qid=1089317725/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-1094837-0811837?v=glance&s=books). Now I just need to break out my crayola’s and get to filling in the blanks to create the greatest book known to mankind. (I am allowed to lie since it’s my book, right? Isn’t that what an autobiography all about?) 😃 Thank you, **lainaf**! 🙂 ---

You’re welcome, **harmless**. I wonder what the person at [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) thought when they wrote the message on your gift card. ---

I’m not sure, but it was followed by a hand written telephone number and a message to call “Tyrice” if I was interested in a “good time”. 😛 ---

What’s with the term ‘Attention Ho’ these days? It just seems so lower class, I may be an attention whore or an attention slut or an attention gigalo but I wouldn’t ever consider being an attention ho. Why don’t people think more of themselves, maybe **harmless** could be the attention queen of the f’n universe, or the attention whore of Babylon, but attention ho is just so hum-drum. ---

At least it’s better than attention skank. How about Attention Strumpet. Attention Jezabelle? I think those add a little more class. Or, Attention Madame if you really wanna be fancy. ---
