Sleuth Home - Message Boards - Role Playing Stage

In the spirit of giving to our community in these tough times, I have decided to start my own contest as well.

I will give a free gift 3 month sub (you heard it... 3 months) to the sleuth who comes up with the most creative explanation/story as to why Joey "Bulldog" Bane cannot manage to get himself removed as a contestant from the Contest Formerly Known as "Revive the Stage". This should be a fictional story/explanation, and I will not tolerate any attack against any past, present, or future Sleuth member.

Anyone can post their story. If you do not wish to be included in the contest, you can still post. You will not be forced to be considered for the prize. And if you wish to enter, but don't need a gift sub, maybe we can come up with an alternative prize for you.

I will be the sole judge, so come on... amuse me. This is really a selfish request because I find his predicament quite hysterical and I want to see what all you creative sleuths out there can come up with.

Contest will run for one week. I will announce the winner on Monday, March 9.

It got worse, all throughout his childhood, he was considered a genius, because he gave the teachers all the answers he wanted to hear. When he was 17, he ended up with 5 girlfriends (downstairs has never been quite the same since) and for some reason, he ended up in a boxing tournament because the judge couldn’t understand that he had never boxed in his life.

So he turned to writing. It seemed that people always misinterpreted his words when he spoke them, but when he wrote, they came out just the way he wanted them. It was all going well until one fatal day, where the newspaper he was writing for offered a competition, whoever contributed the most would win a free holiday. Thinking back to his last holiday, where he had somehow bought the entire contents of a lolly shop when he thought he was just asking for one lolly, Joey approached his boss, Ms Hugs, and asked for his name to be removed from the competition.
“You REALLY want to win” she bellowed. “Here that everyone, Joey wants to win out little competition.”
No matter what he tried, even when he asked people not to vote for him, they would wink and say
“Don’t worry Joey, I was going to vote for you anyway. But taking me out to dinner will help you…”

Luckily, he was pipped at the post by a more charming and better looking contestant. Looks like the French fairies were far better equipped than the ill-fated Flopsy!

It used to be that everyone used to hang on to every word that came out of Joey “Bulldog” Bane's mouth like each was a precious ruby. As he walked down the street and imparted his wise words, people trailed after, trying to just hear one more brilliant word of Bulldog's.

But then... it happened. One day, after one of Bulldog's adroit speeches, someone said, "I don't believe you are right." And with that...one by one everyone stopped listening to Bulldog.

Poor Bulldog didn't know what to do! He would go to buy his morning whiskey, but, the bartender never seemed to hear what he said. "Whiskey! Whiskey! NOT COFFEE!" He would yell, but never did he get his whiskey.

He would ask the time, and be told the temperature. He would go to the movie theater and ask for a ticket to the action flick, only to be handed a ticket for the latest chick flick. When asking directions to the men's room, he would be directed to the women's.

And no matter how much he screamed and repeated himself, he never ever seemed to be able to get his words heard.

One day, a contest came to town. He didn't want to be entered, but, like always now, no one seemed to be able to hear him, and would do what they thought he wanted, which was not at all what poor Bulldog wanted in the least! Bulldog repeated himself, and yelled, and made some noise, but no one seemed to hear him, and in the contest he stayed.

((Sorry it isn't my best...but it's pretty good for being written at 3 am! ;D heehee))

OK. I have made my decision. Drum roll please......

I am feeling generous, so I have decided that all entries in this contest will get a prize (except Mak and ctown because I am pretty sure they don't want anything from me). Here's how it goes:

red rose: You are the winner of the 3 month gift sub to Noir.
Lolita and Anais: You are the winners of a 1 month gift sub each to Noir.

And Joey...... I think we've made it clear that you do NOT want a gift sub :P so I have a little something "special" lined up for you for being such a good sport. PM me for details.

Happy Sleuthing!
