Hey, Kids! It's Unofficial Contest Time again!

As usual, it's all my fault and Jon & Phillip will deny my general existence.

Well, okay, this time it's not entirely my fault. Insegnante Rispettato Kinyon has contributed his grammarian kennings and his humor checking skills as well.

The Contest: This is a fill-in-the-blank word-listing kind of game. It’s like that other contest I did that was like that copyrighted game that I won’t mention by name, where one person has a book with some paragraphs in it, with missing words. The other person is told what type of words are missing, and supplies replacements. Then, the paragraph is revealed with the missing words, and oh! The good times do follow!

Except that instead of doing this with a paragraph, I’ve chosen a Goats comic mostly at random, and removed certain words.

To Enter:
Please supply words to match the following “clues”:

1. verb (present tense)
2. noun (proper name/title)
3. noun-as-adjective
4. verb (present tense)
5. adjective
6. noun
7. adjective modified by adverb

9. noun phrase
10. noun
11. noun (proper name)
12. noun phrase
13. verb (present tense)
14. noun phrase
15. noun phrase

Eligibility: This contest is also only open to registered members. But do remember that registration is free, and fun!

The Prize: The winner of this contest will win an item of their choice from the Goats store valued at $25 or less including shipping (with a little slack to cover international delivery if needed).

The Deadline: You must submit your entry by 11:59 pm Friday September 15th, 2006.

The Judging: Entries will be judged on how much they make Michael and I laugh when we look at the filled in comic.

I find it interesting that when searching google for noun (proper name/title), this page is the first result.

In Response to Dynedain (#35794):

I find it interesting that when searching google for noun (proper name/title), this page is the first result.

Do you have a Google account, and are you signed in, and thus would your Personal Search History skew results? Sometimes i choose to log out of Google/Gmail then repeat a search to see the difference, because i want to know what "the rest of the world" sees for results as opposed to what i personally have trained Google to find.

In Response to Teledildonix (#35796):

Do you have a Google account, and are you signed in, and thus would your Personal Search History skew results?

No.

For those of you not paying attention, the contest is closed as of last Friday.

Thanks for entering, good luck, and the Doctor and I will get back to you with a winner soon.

In Response to zamphir (#35817):

Yeah, yeah, enough with the formalities.

I'll take the Xibalba is for Lovers shirt, please. Size Large.

In Response to Deathalicious (#35942):

My laziness knows no bounds.

annoucement RSN. Really.

In Response to zamphir (#35944):

I'll take just as much blame. If our bouts of laziness were synchronized instead of, uh, syncopated, we would have finished long ago. C'est la vie.

In Response to mkinyon (#35945):

Look, just tell me which strip it was and I'll do it.

I still win, BTW.

In Response to Deathalicious (#35951):

All right, all right.

Enough with the guilt trip.
