Funride and Hup
HubNuggets Team News
It has been an eventful week for the HubNuggets team.
Sadly, Funride has to leave us for awhile due to work obligations. Funride has been instrumental in bringing HubNuggets to where it is now. We will miss him but hope to see him drop in from time to time as he is able to.
Best of luck with work, Funride!
Of course, the other big news is Ryan Hupfer's mishap. If you haven't heard about it yet, you can read it in this forum post.
Get well soon, Hup!!

Okay, that's all the bad news. Now, we have great news for you!
We are honoured to welcome the one and only B.T. Evilpants to the HubNuggets team. He's a great addition and we're really looking forward to working with him to bring you all the great HubNuggets each week.
This is an important event, fellow hubbers and readers. HubPages has the first HubNuggets team in history with a jackalope as a member!
Go, HubPages!
Just in case that's not enough excitement for you, we have even more great news!
The esteemed Patty Inglish is joining us as well!
Yes, that's right folks. We have the team of Evilpants and Inglish helping to bring you a fresh batch of HubNuggets weekly.
HubNuggets Team
The New HubNuggets Team
ProCW is our beloved graphics guy and brilliant playwright. He helps to choose potential HubNuggets, write some of the hubs and promote HubNuggets in the community. I don't know what we'd do without him!
B.T. Evilpants is that loveable jackalope from Hell, Michigan. If anybody can pick some great HubNugget Wannabes, as well as write and promote, it's him. I took the precaution of having a word with RMR to ensure that he would make B.T. behave himself while carrying out his HubNugget duties.
Patty Inglish, MS has been seen following B.T. Evilpants around. I once saw her promoting B.T.'s political campaign while he was running for president. Patty will knock our socks off with well written HubNugget hubs. Not only that, she will likely have them written at the speed of light.
Ripplemaker has graciously agreed to be our angelic cheerleader. Each week, Ripplemaker pops into the hubs and forums to offer up her fun encouragement and cheer everyone on.
Me, I get to do all the cool stuff the rest of them do.

Just stopped by to visit the new kid on the block. WHAT, is that you Shirley Angel! Wow, you look like a Princess. Look out Princessa!
Now that you have my attention I will check out the hubnuggets. Take care Princess Angel and have a lovely day :)
Voted.
I should read before I comment but Shirley distracted me, sorry!
Best of luck to you funride with the job and thank you very much for doing such a spiffy job at Hubnuggets.
Welcome BT and Patty. Shirley really knows how to grow an intelligent crop. Hope you both have lots of fun with the Hubnuggets. We already know your the best!
OUCH, Oh poor poor Hup... Naughty asphault, how could you do this to our Awesome Hup! Please heal quickly...we need you!
BT is one step closer to world domination
Wow, Shirley! Thanks for the intro (which you did not deliver under any kind of duress, whatsoever)! I just cast my vote, and I hope everyone else will do the same. That would make it so much easier for me to stay on my best behavior!
@ GT: Shhh, that's supposed to be a secret. Keep quiet, and you can be on the board of directors, when I get there.
Don't hurt me BT because I didnt vote yet, I still have some reading to do
I'm healing quickly, everyone and I can now type on a keyboard and put on my clothes without the assistance of my fiancee (or unwilling roommate). Thanks for the get well wishes and I'll be back in the groove here soon! Oh, by the way, anything that has to do with Snuggies gets my vote.
Here's some {{{Snuggies}}} for you Ryan :)
Ryan is healing faster? It's a Miracle! Or B.T. Evilpants's secret shadow government healing formula #9.
Glad to be aboard the HubNuggets train to good eats...er...good reads... or something...
Oh Elena, you'll like reading these hubs! I had to chuckle....yes, you are the winner, you were first, yay! Oh again, thanks for noticing my new avatar!
Aww, Dottie Angel, you are so sweet, thanks! You have a great rest of the day, too and enjoy your HubNuggets!
Yay! Thanks, JMockridge!
You said it, Dottie!
Goldentoad, it kind of smacks of Pinkie and the Brain, doesn't it?
BT and Patty, it is GREAT to have you with us!!
GT, you do know that you are about the 50th person that BT has promised that same board of director's position to, right? Big board.
Hup, so glad that you're on the mend and able to dress yourself!
Hey, Patty - I'm not sure using HubNuggets to sell secret government formulas has ever been done before. I may have to look that one up in the HubNuggets Rule Book. Hey, if you sell a bunch, can I be an exclusive distributor?
Hey everybody, cast your vote now! If poor Hup can vote while injured, then you can, too! Go head. The polls are right up there, over the comments /\.
I'm waiting.
Distributors?...paperwork.....uurgggggg.
Get the jackalope to hire you an assistant!
I don't have to be director, I can be an "advisor", director might mean I have some type of responsibility
Good point, GT. Perhaps you should ask to be his Entertainment Ambassador or something.
Voted! Yadda yadda! :-)
my vote is in!
Yay! BT Evilpants and Patty is with the hubnuggets team! I will miss Funride but he promised to show up when he has the time. And to Ryan, get well soon :)
Dottie is right...you do look like a princess Shirley! :) Love your new avatar!
Elena, you did it again! You came in first. LOL I better go hubhopping now...see you in awhile!
Voted!!! :)
Exactly 52 minutes after I left here, I'm back. Whew, I'm glad the hubmobile makes it easy for me to travel from one hub to the other. LOL Great hubnuggets Shirley! Thumbs up! Thanks everyone for continually supporting the hubnuggets activities. You guys are the greatest!
Got it. SA, great Avatar girl. woo-hoo! I like it. BT hurt toad anyway. You have my premission. Then get Pest deflead please?
Voted!

I'm very happy to have you both as part of the team!!!!!!
The best of luck to all of you Hubnuggeters/HubNuggeteers/wannabes/etc. :)

Hubnuggets team here doing some good work. Makes us aware of some of the best hubs we missed out.
hi, yummy Hubnuggets :)
A big kiss to funride, hope he can pop in quite often; a prompt recovery to Ryan and a warm welcome to Patty and that loveable jackalope from Hell :)
Just did it.
You have once again compiled a great list of nuggets. I am off to read as many of them as I can while the kids are leaving me alone. Of course I have to start with BT since he always makes me smile.
Thanks for voting, everyone!!

Glad you like the new avatar, CC. Re getting Pest defleaed, you gonna use powder or shampoo?
ProCW, I'm with you in regards to reducing paperwork!
Frieda, I feel like I'm in that Groundhog Day movie....you're back to falling over the wall!
You're welcome, Vivekananda. Thanks for reading and voting.
Hi Princessa, love your sexy new avatar!
Hi, Ashley. I'm not sure why but I'm getting a spam warning on your comment. Not to worry, I'm going to tell it that you are not spam. I agree with you about B.T. He's great at bringing smiles to people's faces. Enjoy your reading!
Just wanted to thank you ALL, for the work that goes into giving us this excellent place to meet, see each others work and have some fun. It is the most flattering thing in the world to be nominated on here. What a wonderful way to welcome new writers. Thank you for your time and effort and for making me a part of all this!Bo
ok, I read enough, I got a feeling who is gonna do good, so I'm placing my vote for an under dog
I voted too, guys -- I just wasn't letting your right hand know what my left hand was doing! (Or something like that. . . )
Thank you so much for the nomination! I think all of us are already winners for even being nominated! Good luck to all of the Hubs!
Evidently there is a bitter rivalry between the followers of Snuggie and the followers of Slanket happening in the comments on my Hub now. This is serious stuff to these people and now Hubpages is has become part of it. Check it out!
My vote is in.
Aww, Bo, you are very welcome! This community is so great, I just know that you're going to continue to love it. We make so many good friends here and it's a very encouraging environment for writers. It's a pleasure to have your hub in this week's HubNuggets line-up!
GT, that's so nice of you! What a sweetie.
Teresa, I had a terribly witty response to your comment and decided it was best left unsaid. :) Thanks for voting!
Cdub, your hub was an eye-opener for me. I had no idea those things had gained popularity! I still can't fathom why. Guess you can tell I don't own one. Still, wish I had stock in the company. Re the rivalry between Snuggie and Slanket, I have got to see that....on my way to your hub now.
Thanks for writing a great hub and for coming here to comment.
Thanks for voting, Dottie!!
Ashley Joy! I'm so glad I made you smile! Most people just can't see inherent cuteness through the evil antics.
1964 human, you are correct. This is an awesome way to welcome the new writers. I'll never forget the feeling of seeing one of my hubs in the newsletter. I can now say that it feels even better to spread that joy for others! And that includes you too, cdub! I hope you guys voted.
And for all you hubbers who haven't voted yet, don't forget that I did a stint as the Easter Bunny. That's right, I know where you all live!
Oh, that's a good thing for people to keep in mind, B.T. Bet a lot of people forgot about your escapades as Peter Rabbit's stand-in.
WOW! thanks everyone for all your support...what a great batch of Hubs to be considered with....I am having so much fun learning about this community, making friends, and most of all reading all the terrific Hubs! I wish I had an outlet for all my obsessive thoughts when I was a teen--Hub Pages is wonderfullly validating and so much FUN!
Huh? I am totally naive and lost here. HubNuggets? Newsletter? What newsletter? Sorry I haven't gopt a clue about all of this. Can someone help a poor lost soul here?
Love and peace
Tony
You all did another wonderful job, the new crop are delicious! I read, and enjoyed, and voted!
Miss B, you never mind a time before HP, you're here with us now! I should warn you though, that once the addiction kicks in, there'll be no world away from here. :)
Good luck with your hub, maybe we'll see you in the newsletter!
Tony, Tony, Tony. Don't you get a HubPages newsletter every Wednesday? This week, it actually went out on Friday because of Ryan Hupfer's accident. If you haven't been getting them, check your spam folder. If all else fails, you may have to switch email addys (I did).
Re HubNuggets, you can find information here in Hup's very first forum post making the announcement: http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/7295
Aww, K@ri, you say the sweetest things! Thanks for the compliments, for reading and commenting and for voting.
My vote is in!
Already up to 66 votes! Lets keep 'em coming in!
my vote is cast. Awwwwwwwwww Funride going to miss u heaps
Thanks for voting, John!
BT, we're up to 69 now! Yay! We still have time to hit the 100 mark!
BP, thanks for voting and don't worry, Funride will drop in every chance he gets.
Thanks for the nomination...don't know who stumbled across me....but thanks. Hope you weren't injured too badly. I've gone and read most of the other hubnuggets already.....that 1964human is seriously funny. Good luck to all and it's just an honor to be nominated.
Another very nice batch. I voted yesterday after I had time to read them all. Good work all!
So many good ones...and now I don't have an obligation...so...I'm on my way to reading them all and voting. =) Thanks for this lovely new crop guys!
When a Google Alert popped on my radar for an article entitled 'Snuggie Sightings' I discovered HubPages.com and one of this week's Hub Nuggets. I've now authored my first hub, which shares the early days and inspiration behind SnuggieSightings.com. http://hubpages.com/_signups/hub/The-Snuggie---How"
A great batch of hubs.
Welcome, As Seen on Blog!
Love the Hub, too. Rated it for you. Added you, ad nauseum. Awesome to have you aboard. =)
HubPages appears to be growing...Google is so nice. Hopefully we won't turn out to be Akira.
Florida Keys, you're welcome! And we weren't hurt, thanks for asking. Hope you enjoyed reading the other HubNuggets. Please don't forget to vote and good luck!
Dink96, thanks so much for coming out to vote!!
Thanks, Generique! Enjoy all these great hubs by some of our newest Hubbers. I know that they'll appreciate it. Thanks also for remembering to vote.
Welcome, As Seen on Blog. Glad you found us and started writing! Just so you know, the comment section is not the place to put your links in. I'm looking forward to reading your hubs and wish you much hubbing success!
Generique, you're right about Google! :) I don't know what Akira is, though.
Boy, it sure got quiet in here. There's still time to vote!
Ssh! Everybody went back to their J-O-B-S. They should visit the Master of the Universe and ask for a total Hubbing lifestyle instead.
I was thinking about putting in a drive-thru, or easy pick system over at the Master's website. Kind of like an a la carte arrangement. King or Queen Of Hubs would be an obvious pick!
Love the concept! What a great idea for those busy folks who need a little something, something fast.
Perhaps the Master could offer home/office delivery?
This week's HubNugget winners have just been announced over in the forum! Hurry!
Shirley, Akira is one of the most seminal animes of its time.
Its a good movie, but when you dig down deeper into it you realize its all about becoming too egotistical.
Love and Junk,
G|M
Oh-oh, Gen. I don't really know what an animes it, either. If I had to guess, I'd say.....a cartoon?
Good moral of the story, by the sounds of it.
Love and junk....love it!
