Always the Christmas lover, I've got a great idea to distract us from the latest Bush blunder. A Christmas Card Contest. Everyone who's interested can post a copy of their work. The winning, as selected by me, card I will have printed by MBE, I'll sign it and mail it to you. You can cherish that for the rest of your life.

Conditions:


Artwork must be an original work
Artwork cannot be overtly racial offencive
Artwork cannot be sexually explicit
Artwork must comply with NS and Jolt standards
There is not limit to the amount of submissions from any one poster
Artwork will be judged by me
Artwork remains the property of the original poster, the poster concents to me printing the work

How the Hell do you expect me to work under such constraints? Would you have told William Shakespeare to avoid the Olde English? Would you have told Samuel Taylor Coleridge to write without the aid of Opium? Would you have told Stanley Kubrick that the Clockwork Orange was too violent? Would you have told deSade that he should be less graphic?
The Artist must be free of all constraint to properly produce schlock of no value beyond the ability to shock puritan audiences!

Artwork will be judged by me
Don't you ever presume to judge me, mortal insect! Many men greater then you have gone to their graves for such an affront.

It's actually a "protect me from the wrath of the Mods" thing more then anything else

How dare you blaspheme the lord Rotovia?! He shall smite thee for this affront! :D

I would make a card, but I'm far too lazy.

Don't make fun, the common cold is a bitch to get rid of. People are easier, and gods are the easiest things to take down since sliced bread.

Yeah, I suppose that my idea for a card would make the mods a bit pissy, but maybe I'll do it anyway. You've got three strikes before your out, after all.
I'll judge whoever I want, bitch!
I'll have you overturned in Superior Interweb Court!

I'll have you overturned in Superior Interweb Court! Like to see you try. I sit on the Interweb Court of Appeals/1337 |-|a><0r5 and have no issue with abusing my power...

Well if the courts won't hear our (We have no idea when we started using the royal We, just roll with it) case, then we'll take it to the streets! The MAN won't keep us down!
If that were true, I'd still be Rotovia...
I was refering to the fact that you can be deated twice before you get slapped with a DOS or IP ban.

For people, gods, or colds? Years of experience with Christionas has taught me that all it would take to kill God is a few openly gay priests getting married while they read amateurish fiction about a British wizard at a boarding school filled with equal parts sad-sacks and one-dimensional bullies.

Note: I am responding in the reverse order to what you posted. I started doing that in the previous post and shall continue to do so because I can, and there is not one damn thing you can do about it.

Yes, but it also means that you are coming in dead last, as well.

They said he was dead... they said he was the last of the Northpolians... Now the man who they called dead last... is back... back for REVENGE.

NOTE: I just reversed the order even more, and you can still do naught but moan and gnash your teeth in the face of my 1337 Cut and Paste skillz.
Note: I just messed with your precious order!
Well, when exterminating the Divine it is always best to make as big a go of it as possible. Still, its nowhere near as messy as the consumation.
Seems a little messy...
Oh, ok.
Wait, I'm being needlessly defiant here so . . .
*Sets fire to his own apartment and breaks a store window*
YOU CAN'T FIGHT THE POWER OF THE STREET PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE STREET AND FIGHTING YOU! ALSO, THIS SLOGAN REALLY SUCKS AS A CHANT!
Yes I will
But what if a God Made Flesh who has a cold takes it? Which parts get killed off first?
All of the above
I would, but the last time I stole a part of the Interweb I got Cancerous AIDS of the Face Spungiform Disease.
Unless you over power the Mods and steal Jolt...

Oh and on a completely unrelated note: At what times is there usually no one home at your home?

Woah, woah, woah.

No one has since submitted an entry to this thread. Does that mean I win by default?

If so, I expect to get my X-mas card in the mail this christmas, with Rotovia's signature and best wishes.
