This month’s contest is going to be pretty simple, ’cause it is wrapping up the semester for me and I don’t have the time to do something elaborate like blend up a sandwich. Also, this contest will be more accessible for everyone as it is probably less labor intensive.
This month’s contest is to find something foolish, funny, weird, or whatever. It can be a picture, video, or even an anecdote. You need to photograph something laughable, or tell a story of a weird thing that happened to you (the reason which this blog was created in the first place) or anything else that may qualify as contest worthy, as decided by the Rule Czar.
The Rules:
1) The picture, video, or anecdote in question must be from this month.
2) Your entry must be provided by you or something that happened to you. Grabbing a second-hand story from someone else will be grounds for disqualification. In addition, if you submit an anecdote, it needs to be something that actually happened.
3) Contest is open to everyone (except the rule czar). To enter, leave a comment with your description and links to pictures on any contest blog post one of the writers puts up.
4) Contest will run until Friday, April 29, at Midnight.
5) Winner will be chosen by the Rule Czar.
6) Bribing the Rule Czar with money or food IS ALLOWED. Blackmail is NOT ALLOWED.
7) Outstanding bribes MUST be paid off by April 29. Promising a bribe and failing to pay up will result in disqualification and public shame.
8) Bribing Matt or Evan with money or food is also allowed, but will have no affect on the outcome of the contest.
9) Matt, as the ruleborrower, withholds the right to append or modify these rules at any time, assuming it is not for a douchey reason. (Douchiness quotient determined by rule czar)
10) A prize (TBD) will be supplied to the winner. It might involve me shipping a pizza, who knows! Good luck!
11) Umi jokes are subject to the Rule Czar’s approval.
12) Any submission that is just a picture of Umi will be disqualified unless he is doing something more ridiculous than usual.
For clarity, I will post a few examples of things that may qualify for this contest.
Picture:
This was taken at my Dissmore’s Grocery Store on April 5. I found the win aisle.
Anecdote:
Last weekend I was hanging around with my friends Joe and Kale, as well as Kale’s dad. I had just bought a telescoping baton that was really cool, but highly impractical. Basically if you swing it, the pieces of metal would detach from the magnet holding it in place, and you instantly have a 3-foot long metal baton. Usually things that telescope are easy to extend and easy to collapse, but this one was stubborn and won’t collapse without a lot of effort. Joe, Kale and I kept hitting it against the ground to get it to fully collapse, and after several attempts we finally got it all the way back into its compact form. Kale’s dad, who decided it was time to troll us, asked, “How does that thing work again?” I responded, “Like this!” and I swung it out again. He started to laugh his ass off as I realized I had just got it stuck once more.
So there you have it. Good luck this month!
