The missives for Normund's special brand of wow continue to pour in here at Normundy. My colleague Ed Masley, entertainment blogger at The Arizona Republic, breaks my heart with his prose. (Thanks to tipster "furries4normund" for bringing this to our attention.)

Money quote:
In the end, the biggest disappointment when the wild card dust had settled was the thought of Norman Gentle riding off into a very quirky sunset.
Have we seen the last of him?
On "Idol," sure.
But someone needs to find a way to put him back on my TV where he belongs.
Oh, Ed--if the producers could only hear your words and make them come true.

MIA: Red Headband
So, in trying to come up with a giveaway for a contest sponsored by the magazine at which I work (the venerable institution Teeny Beat), I just got a major, major scoop! The headband is missing! The. headband. is. missing.
It was last seen in the possession of Nathaniel Marshall after a shady trade backstage at AI! OMG!!!! Look!!!!

FYI, I plan to follow up on this story right after I get done with my exhaustive research of Normund for the other post.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME: YET ANOTHER WAY NORMUND WAS THROWN UNDER THE BUS???11
Normundy.com is relieved and pleased to announce that an expert has determined that daylight savings time will play no role, positive or negative, in the sale of Normund's future album. Several fans of the popular site have expressed concern that the loss of that crucial hour between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. on March 8 in the year of our lord 2009 would push back Normund's project, making it ineligible for next year's Grammy nominations. Frequent contributor to the comments section of the star-making blog best articulated Normund's fans fears.Frantic Frau, "Time is of the essence for former Idols in terms of album release. Every second counts! And Normund lost 360 of those valuable seconds thanks to the stupid government mandated time change!! In that one hour, 3 million Idol viewers may have forgotten him forever."
Are her concerns legitimate? Local experts aren't convinced. KnowsEverything, currently a graduate student in Wikipediology, asserts that such claims are dubious at best. "When you extrapolate the numbers in terms of baseline, the results are significantly without merit. Obviously, to the scientific mind, this means that DLST is a de facto determinant as predictor. To the lay person, however, it is actually .000000165% drop in future sales - plus or minus margin of error." So fear not, Gentle Nation. Normund can afford to lose an hour. Even two or three should he decide to sleep in one morning!
I R NORMUND GENTLE
LOL CATZ LUV NORMAN GENTIL!!!
Gods of Awarding Recording Contracts, we beseech thee!
If it can happen to the likes of Britney Spears and the Banana Splits (note how both share the initials B.S.), surely a true talent such as Normund Gentle should enjoy a lucrative career in the music industry. But just in case wiser heads do not prevail or, as I suspect, they've been hiding Clive Davis' dementia just like they did Reagan's, I have written a little prayer of support that I hope you will all consider repeating, perhaps thrice daily for maximum divine impact.
Yea, though Normund sang in the semi-finals in the shadow of Lambert
He shall be offered representation; for his fans adore him
His headband and his shiny shirt, they comfort us.
He deliverest a performance before the audience in the presence of those dimwitted judges;
Yet he bloweth our minds with his talent; our Tivos playeth it over and over.
Surely platinum CDs and sold-out performances shall follow him all the days of his life,
And he will dwell in LA forever.
And let us say amen, dudes.
Adam Lambert has a double chin
I should be ashamed...
Fierce
This is the face of a warrior, a gangster of love:
And someday soon, this corrupt little dog and pony show will realize who they let slip through their greasy, grasping fingers.
And someday soon, this corrupt little dog and pony show will realize who they let slip through their greasy, grasping fingers.
Wildtards
So these are the people deemed more worthy by the panel of illustrious judges than Our Normund:
Apparently this girl could hack up a hairball on stage and the 4 Horsemen would find it had "commercial" appeal.
Is this guy taking a dump? (I mean besides taking a dump on our dreams?)

Normundy: A Call To Arms
Gentle Nation, I write this with a heavy heart and snootful of scotch. For, as we all know, our Normund was given the ultimate insult last night by TPTB (The Powers That Be for you internets noobies) when they passed him over for a spot in tonight's WildCard competition. To add insult to injury, he didn't even get to have his sing-out!!!11 Instead, some guy with a lazy eye named Whore Hey (um.... who names their child that???) took Normund's place!! (As if they thought we wouldn't notice!!!)
Now is the time to let TPTB know of our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts! Ladies and gentlemen, my recommendation is thus: Watch American Idol on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. but.... and this is the good part .... DON'T VOTE! Then, watch the show on Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. and take pleasure in seeing Ryan break out in a cold sweat when it's time to announce the vote totals. Then - and this is vital to our movement's success - get on the interwebs and post about how wretched the show is on all the message boards. Producers are known to read blogs and message boards, so this will hurt their feelings, just as they've hurt Normund's and ours! Let's give those producers a taste of their own medicine!
Ladies and gentlemen, by deliberately omitting Normund from the WildCard round, they have awakened a sleeping giant! And we, Gentle Nation, will be the David that brings down the Goliath! Our motto shall be: Don't Vote For Anybody! Oh, it is on, American Idol. It. Is. On.

Post pictures of black-headbanded Normund where ever gifs and jpgs are allowed! Photochop him into well known pieces of art!
Register your anger on the internet!

Norman (it's actually Normund) Gentle (aka Nick Mitchell) may not have made it through, but "Idol's" "most entertaining performer" - according to Randy - has finally launched his own site.
Right on for getting his name right! But sadly no - we aren't Normund - we're just his most hopelessly devoted fans.
NORMUND FOR THE WILDCARD! NORMUND FOR THE WIN!

NORMUND: NOT THE FATHER OF THE OCTUPLETS!!!!11
We here at Normundy.com can now report with some certainty that Normund is not the father of the eight children born to Nadya Suleman (dubbed Octo-Mommy by the unkind press.) After an exclusive interview with a close friend of Normund's, who posts here under the cover of the screen name "NormundsFriend," there can be little doubt that Normund did not play a paternal role in the conception of the babies.
"Dude was out with me that night, picking up chicks," reports NormundsFriend, wishing to remain anonymous, "No way did he have time to hook up with her and get her knocked up. I mean, come on. Dude is good, but eight times in one night? Naw."
Speculation regarding Normund's role in the fathering of the children began here at Normundy.com when it was noted that Nadya appeared to have altered her appearance to resemble Angelina Jolie.
We were left with no choice but to connect the dots and assume that she would choose a man who resembled Brad Pitt to impregnate her.
When informed of this news, one of Normund's pre-menopausal female fans exclaimed, "Now he can have babies with ME!! I was so depressed when I believed that he and Nadya were an item that I didn't even buy Normund's hit single on iTunes! I didn't want her getting her hands on the profits from his sales! Now that I know they're not a couple, I feel so generous, I'm going to gift each of those babies with a copy!"
Have you done your part? Have you gifted Normund's single to multi-birth infants, today? If not, get over to iTunes and download Normund's "I'm Not Going." (Due to a clerical error, the song is listed under Nick Mitchell.)
