Contest Time

See all those image links at the top there? Well, six of them are getting removed and I'm going to need to replace them. Instead of choosing by your blogs or comments, I'm going to hold a contest in which there will be three winners (three spots are already taken). That means the chances of you winning are pretty high since there's only like three of you that read my blog. I can't make it too easy for you, so I'm going to make the contest in phases. Three winners, three phases. In all phases, the funnier the better.

Phase 1: Submit a photo of someone doing something crazy while wearing something crazy in a public place. Bonus points if you can tell me who the person is and what's going on. In other words, internet pictures are okay, but I'd prefer something more original. All pictures should be sent to my email address (which can be found in my profile). Pictures involving nakedness, (while welcome if it is female nakedness; male nakedness will get you disqualified) will not be considered for the contest, and will not be posted on my blog. Please include "Template Contest" in the subject.

Phase 2: Upon completion of phase 1, I will hold a caption contest. Please enter in all captions in the comments beneath the photo to which the caption is applicable.

Phase 3: At any time while the contest is on you may participate in phase 3. Submit a story (fiction or non-fiction), poem, or other such written word that will make us all laugh; at you or with you, either way. This can be about anything you want, but it must be written by you. Please submit this via e-mail.

Eligibility Rules:

1. You must have a link to my blog on yours. For those of you that haven't linked me because I haven't linked you, I'll be updating my links within the next couple of days. Let me know if you've already linked me, also.
2. You are not eligible if you are any of the following people: Me, my sister, my girlfriend, AJ, Alex, Jenn, She-Hulk, THL, g.d., tacit1, jasmine, Celine Dion, Michael Bolton, Barry Manilow, Bob Saget, or Alan Thicke. If you don't know why your name is on this list, it means that you are keeping your spot or have one reserved for you. The rest of you know why.
3. No terrorists.

Scoring: Winners will be determined by adding the scores of all three phases. The winner of each phase will receive 100 pts. The runner up will receive 90 pts. and so on and so forth. Scores will be tallied and winners declared upon completion of the contest.

Prizes: There will be three grand prizes of image links at the top of my blog. Everyone who participates will get shout outs in future posts.

Judges: The contest will be judged entirely by myself. I'm a big boy and I can handle it.

Duration: Phase 1 will last until July 4. Phase 2 will last as many days as there are entries for phase 1. Phase 3 will last through the entire duration. Winners will be announced the day following the completion of the contest.

Without further ado, let the contest begin.
