Less Than a Week Until HubNugget Day! Cast Your Vote Now!

The HubNugget team is getting excited as Groundhog Day nears. Why? For those of you who don't know, Groundhog day falls just 1 day before HubNugget day. That's right, we finally got our own holiday!

On Wednesday, February 3rd, just 24 hours after Punxsutawney Phil comes out in search of his shadow, HubNugget Hank arrives to make his HubNugget predictions! How does he do it? Some people think he's psychic, others just think he's really smart. Personally, I think it has something to do with that Magic 8 Ball he carries around. One thing's for sure, he's a wise old platypus, and he knows his Nuggets. Whatever his secret may be, he has been proven to have an astounding accuracy rate of nearly 7%!

You never know what Hank is going to predict. He may tell us who is going to win the next round, or he may predict that a member of the HubNugget team will come down with pink-eye. He sees all and knows everything, or almost 7% of everything.

This gig is only one day a year, and a platypus has to make a living; so In his off time HubNugget Hank operates a sub-aquatic craps table of questionable legality, complete with a raw bar and $2 crab leg buffet. Guests are advised that they play (and eat) at their own risk. He also offers free accommodations to any amphibious hubbers who enjoy playing craps and eating crab legs that may or may not be past their expiration date.

I know you're all as excited as we are about this new holiday. But before you go out to celebrate, make sure you take the time to read this week's HubNugget Wannabes and cast your vote! We have 10 great new authors and they all want a place in the next newsletter. Since there's only room for 5, it's up to you, the amazing Hubpages community, to choose the winners. Now off you go!

Maddie Ruud and Jason Menayan are Hubpages employeees and HubNuggeteers extraordinaire! They manage the flow of vital Nugget information, keep an eye on things over in the forums and produce the weekly newsletter. Yup, they're busy bees!

Shirley Anderson is definitely our MVP. She is a seasoned pro, and is often seen giving valuable advice to new hubbers and aspiring freelancers. If she has something to say, you had better listen!

Patty Inglish, MS is a talented and prolific hubber, who knows quality when she sees it. She is, afterall, a partner in many of my business ventures!

Szuzsy Bee is one of the most popular hubbers on Hubpages. She loves to hub about cooking, crafts and has some amazing stories about her family. She also helps sniff out the very best wannabes each week, and writes HubNugget hubs that produce votes!

RedElf is one of the newest team members, but she's definitely no slouch! She's one smart kitty who knows what a HubNugget Wannabe should look like.

B.T. Evilpants- That's me! I'm the evil jackalope your mother warned you about, and a close personal friend of HubNugget Hank!

Ripplemaker is the official HubNugget cheerleader, and driver of the Hubmobile. She is also so full of HubNugget energy, that I have personally seen her project her excess energy across oceans and continents, to help her many friends around the world.
