Smart people are born in May...and winners are born in March

Smart people are born in May...and winners are born in March.

I was born on May 10 at 5:28 AM, making Miss Shana Bananas with her guess of 4:33 AM the winner of the official Encyclopedia Branigan Crownie Making Kit. Yay!! I'm guessing I might be getting a Crownie cake this year... haha.

A close runner up was Maven, who guessed 7:13 AM, in third place was LJ with 2:45 AM and honorable mention goes to JAG with 11:27 AM. They will all receive certificates from the University of Branigan for their participation.

I would also like to recognize Paul, and award him the Early Bird Gets the Worm Award, for being the first person to wish me Happy Birthday! Next contest you get three guesses. :)

Thank you for your participation!!!

Smart people are born in May (and love free stuff)

Smart people are born in May, not to say that people in other months are not intelligent or skilled, but the month of May produces some real talent including:
  • Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
  • Audrey Hepburn
  • Tom Bergeron
  • Harry S. Truman
  • Billy Joel
  • Paul "Bono" Hewson
  • Salvador Dali
  • George Carlin
  • Yogi Berra
  • Robert Pattinson
  • Stephen Colbert
  • Janet Jackson
  • Bob Saget
  • Tina Fey
  • Andre the Giant
  • Cher
  • Notorious B.I.G
  • Mr. T
  • Tommy Chong
  • LaToya Jackson
  • John F. Kennedy
and, last but not least, ME!


The stats are there; two Jacksons, two presidents, and two hosts of America's Funniest Home Videos. How can you argue with that? Take into account Mother's Day and Memorial Day and it's plain to see that May is where it's at.

One week from today, May 10th, will be the birthday of yours truly (it will also be Mother's Day, love you mom). So what better reason to give away FREE STUFF? YES!

Here is the deal. Guess what time I was born. So simple. So easy. What do you win if you guess correctly?


An official Encyclopedia Branigan Crownie Making Kit!!! This all-inclusive baking experience includes:
  • Bowl
  • Oven mitts
  • Dishtowel
  • Spatula
  • Cookie mix
  • Brownie mix
  • Pan
  • Oil
  • Oven timer
  • Measuring cup
  • Official Encyclopedia Branigan Crownie recipe (you saw it here first, betty)

No, I wasn't kidding when I said all-inclusive. You get everything but the perishables. I don't mess around.

Here are the rules:
  • Comment below with your guess in the hour/minute format (time zone not needed) - 0:00
  • Choose AM or PM - if you do not include you will be disqualified
  • No duplicates
  • Siblings/family, asking my mom will not help you; Friends, facebooking my dad will not help you
  • Closest time wins
  • Include your e-mail address, robot style, unless you like junk mail
  • Submit your guess by 11:59 PM EST on Thursday, May 7th, winner will be announced on Friday, May 8th. Just in time for you to bake for Mom (or give to mom, if you are a lazy child) on Mother's Day!

Happy guessing!!

What is a Crownie?

A Crownie is a hybrid of a cookie and a brownie. Developed in 2008 by Katie Foley and Lila Branigan, Crownies have become a popular dessert in northern New Jersey which is enjoyed as a breakfast, snack or dessert.

The creators of the Crownie have plans to release a reduced-fat version of the hybrid in early 2009.
