THE INSANE TRAIN PUN CONTEST - Beaucephus - 09-01-2004
INSANE TRAIN PUN CONTEST
FELLAS AND FELLITES,
I HAVE COME UP WITH AN IDEA FOR A CONTEST IN WHICH THE INSANE TRAIN MEMBERS CAN PARTICIPATE IN A âPUNâ CONTEST.
FIRST OFF, WE WILL MAKE A PINNED THREAD ANNOUNCING THE CONTEST FOR A CERTAIN DAY. I AM TENTATIVELY THINKING WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 15TH FOR THE CONTEST TO TAKE PLACE. THE MEMBERS WILL PARTICIPATE BY RESPONDING TO ANY THREAD IN THE GENERAL FORUM WITH A PUN. THE CONTEST WILL RUN FOR THE ENTIRE DAY OF THE 15TH FOR ANY TIME ZONE.
THESE FAVORITE PUNS WILL BE NOMINATED IN A FRESH THREAD ON SEPT 16TH. THE NOMINATION THREAD WILL RUN FOR THE ENTIRE DAY OF THE 16TH SO EVERYONE WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET THEIR NOMINATIONS IN. IT WILL BE UP TO THE MEMBERS TO SIFT THROUGH THREADS MADE ON THAT DAY SO THEY CAN NOMINATE THEIR FAVORITE PUNS (YOU MAY NOMINATE YOUR OWN PUNS). THE PUNS WILL BE NOMINATED AS FOLLOWS. WHO THE QUOTE WAS MADE BY AND THE ACTUAL QUOTED PUN MUST BE PLACED IN THE POST AS WELL AS A LINK TO THE THREAD WHERE THE PUN WAS MADE. THIS WILL CONFIRM THE TIME AND PLACE THAT THE PUN WAS MADE AND BY WHO. WITHOUT THESE STEPS THE NOMINATION WOULD BE CONSIDERED INVALID.
ON THE 17TH I WILL LOCK THE NOMINATION THREAD AS THE NOMINATIONS WILL BE CLOSED. THEN WE WILL CREATE A POLL (OR POLLS) THAT WILL RUN FROM THE 17TH THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND WILL BE CLOSED MONDAY SEPT 20TH BY 3 PM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME AND THE WINNERS ANNOUNCED. THE TOP THREE WINNERS WILL GET T-SHIRTS AND THERE WILL BE A CONSOLATION PRIZE FOR FOURTH PLACE. THE CONSOLATION PRIZE WILL BE AN INSANE TRAIN MOUSE PAD.
I AM GOING TO MAKE A BULK BUY ON T-SHIRTS AND MOUSEPADS. PERHAPS A DOZEN OF BOTH SO WE CAN HAVE A COUPLE MORE CONTESTS LIKE THIS AT THE SITE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE THIS BETTER.
LEU AND BILL WILL BE WORKING ON SPECIAL SHIRTS FOR THIS CONTEST AND THE WINNERS WILL BE ABLE TO PICK OUT THE ONES THEY WANT AT THE TIME OF ORDER. HOPEFULLY THE TWO WEEKS IN BETWEEN HERE WILL BE ADEQUATE FOR THEM TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT IN TIME FOR THE CONTEST.
POST ANY ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE FOR THE CONTEST IN THIS THREAD AND IT WILL CERTAINLY BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.
*****ADDENDUM********
Please do not use any of your tolls to vote in the final polls. Let's keep this contest straight up. Thanks for the respect on this one.

I know that I haven't posted much on here, but can I make some changes to this contest? I was never really good at puns.
THE INSANE TRAIN PUN CONTEST - leucetios - 09-01-2004
No.
But you can suggest a different contest for the next time around.
