 Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2007 2:11 pm Post subject: Randomness Contest!!!! |
 |
|
All right everybody, the contest forum has been a bit, er, dead lately, so I want to propose a lighthearted, fun contest-a randomness contest!
The rules? Come up with something as random as you can, and post it in this thread. Stun me with your randomness. Show me how weird you REALLY are! It can be about anything you want (just no explicit sex or violence, which I'm pretty sure won't be a problem  ).
| Quote: |
Ex. Purple antelopes smelled salt from their savannah home. Where was the salt coming from? Not just the salt and pepper shakers they were using for dinner; no, it was from the deep, pink ocean only a few feet away. Suddenly, the tiedye elves on their tame sharks galloped across the sea. Their announcing tuba blasted, "Here ye, here ye, a message from the ultimate Elvis dude! We offer an invitation to the annual skydiving competition. Please let us know at 867-5309 whether or not you can make it. Check ya later, y'all! Yeeha!"
The witch of Blackbird Pond came and cast them all dead with her magic. |
It just has to be a few paragraphs, paragraph if you want. Boundaries are pretty relaxed on this, and this is just meant to be a fun little contest that you can do for more procrastination. 
Contest will end in two weeks, on May 1. I can't wait to see what comes out of your minds.
Prize is an in depth critique on one of your pieces. Hey, you get to have fun and you get a critique. What a great deal!
Now, go be RANDOM!!!! |

1. Blurrings of an Abacus
How about then? What's "having been demonstrated" without feasible telegrams. How so, do odes of epic anagrams leap off jungle ridges of a bee's behind? Take from me heart of diamond ripples and juggle turkey fat from high on the clouds. If so, remove, and drop from egg shell to egg shell, twisting with each hour. Define, then cease with fortitude.
2. Proodibunk Salad.
First, take your caught hare and dice. Roll, and if it be a six beat the nearest lampost until your hands be grey. If it is not a six, continue.
Take twelve apples, twelve grapes, twelve pebbles from a stream containing effluent and half as many turnips. Throw these over the hare and utter a short prayer: "Make this hare silky".
Following this put your diced hare into an oven and, hoping that your prayer has been answered, bake for seventeen days at 90 degrees (fahrenheit or celcius, it's your choice). If your prayer was answered there will be six strips of ash, if it was not then there will have been no change. If no change is observed, throw out and start from the beginning.
Take four leaves of lettuce, freshly nibbled by caterpillar, and put into a bowl. Place the strips of ash under the table and serve with pasta vinaigrette. Do not speak during the meal or something bad will happen. |

| Viv was looking around at the black and white world. There was no color, but she was going to fix that. She pulled out her watercolor paints and started to color. Let's see...purple grass; yellow skies; pink river; orange ocean...luckily, Viv's only 7. But imagine all the poor adults living in lime green buildings and driving marooon cars with red seats? They live in a very messed up world, all because one girl decided to recolor the world. |

The Potato rolled through the blue grass, looking for his roots. They, being the mischeivous devils they are, had run off the previous night.
"Damn those stupid roots!" the Potato exclaimed to himself in an earthy voice. He could here giggling through the blueness, and called out. He was close to tears, which inevitably led to mould. He rolled around all day and all night, watching the red sun rise and fall, and the blue stilton-like moon replace it.
Finally, he reached Square Rock. "Where are you?" he shouted. He heard a high-pitched giggle, and, moving around the perfectly straight-edged stone, found his roots, playing cards.
"Would you like to join us?" they asked with a giggle. His lack of limbs was a subject of obvious joy to them, and they collapsed in a rooty heap. The Potato sighed.
"What a pickle."

Since this is just fun I want to do something that happened in real life. This ivolves my friend and it's kind of sad.
I was walking to school after I had got off the bus. My four good friends were there, Jake, Ian, Dan, and Chris. So, we were talking about a new video game coming out when all of a sudden Ian pops up and says "I like cheese!"
Jake is annoyed and asked "Do you even know what we're talking about."
Ian respons by saying, "Blawlalalalalalalalalala" and then made a wierd pooping sound with his mouth.
Jakes like,"No, just No. Never again."
Then chris is laughing so hard he doesn't notice the mud puddle and slips and falls on his but. Now he's covered in mud, every ones laughing and then for no reason Ian kicks me in the balls saying, "Don't laugh at him." |

Two green zebras galloped over the African savannah. They ran through the long waving grasses that left traces of glitter whenever they touched anything. By the time the zebras were out of the grasslands, both were covered in silver sparkles. The first zebra stopped in mid-gallop. "Hey, Winston Churchill!" he neighed to the second zebra. "Lets stop here for a little."
Winston Churchill joined the other zebra, whose name happened to be David Lloyd George. Both grazed contentedly for a few moments, then looked up as the sky changed from blue to pink.
"Look, the sky's gone pink," Winston said.
"So it has," said David Lloyd George. "Still, it doesn't affect the state of the nation."
Both zebras took another mouthful of grass. An elephant strolled by. "You seen my ancient cousin?" he asked. "She's ten times bigger than me and called Mumak."
"No, sorry, old boy," said David Lloyd George pleasantly.
"Her nickname is Oliphaunt, just in case you wanted to know."
"We didn't, actually." Winston Churchill said.
"No, I didn't think you did," the elephant replied, turning into a blue flamingo with white polka dots. "Do these polka-dots make me look fat?"
"No, I don't think so," David Lloyd George said. "They're very flattering actually. Gives a nice contrast to the feathers."
"Thank you," said the flamingo, and it flew away into the symbolic sunset that had just appeared a few seconds before.
The two zebras chewed in silence. Then David Lloyd George said, "Oh isn't the sky so blue! And the hills are so high! The birds are singing the songs they have sung for a thousand years - "
"Hang on, isn't it the hills that are supposed to be doing that?"
"Hills can't sing."
"Yeah, you have a point there, buddy."
At that moment, the ground started to shake, and what appeared to be a giant elephant thundered past. On its back was a tent-like construction filled with warriors, all screaming bloody murder.
"Is that Oliphaunt?" Winston Churchill asked. "Hey, Ollie!" he yelled, "Your cousin's looking for you!"
Oliphaunt took no notice, she was too busy screaming, "Ahh! Get it off! Get it off! It's small, and it's crawling up me! It's got pointy ears! I can't stand things with pointy eas!"
The two zebras noticed a small figure with a bow on its back climbing up the side of the enormous creature. The archer got to the top, and cut the restraints holding the tent on top. It fell to the ground.
"Offside!" yelled David Lloyd George.
"Foul play! Ref!" screeched Winston Churchill.
The small figure reached Ollie's head and shot three arrows in her skull. She fell to the ground with a thud that rattled the zebras' teeth, and probally knocked out a few of her own.
"Oh, I say!" Winston Churchill protested. "That's not cricket, what!"
"Of course it isn't," the archer replied, sliding down to the ground. "It's an oliphaunt. Duh."
A weird noise filled the air, and a police box appeared next to Ollie's carcase. A spiky-haired man in tennis shoes and a long brown coat stepped out the door, brandishing a screwdriver. "Did you miss me?" he asked.
"Um. No," said Winston Churchill.
The man looked around. "Oh, this is beautiful! Fantastic!"
"Actually, it's a dead body of a mumak," said the archer, flicking his long, blond hair over his shoulders. "Don't you think I'm pretty?"
"Pretty awful," replied the man cheerfully. "Still, I'm in the wrong world. See you all!"
He stepped back inside the police box, and it vanished, leaving behind it another man in a black coat with white trim. "I am not a number! I am a free man!" he shouted defiantly.
"Dude, no one said you weren't," David Lloyd George pointed out patiently.
"Oh, yes, sorry. Is this another one of Number Two's little mind-tricks?"
"Nope." A woman with glasses and dressed all in black stepped out of nowhere besides him. "You all leave this pointless story with nothing. You are the weakest link. Goodbye."

Okay, you guys. I am officially announcing the winner...now!!!! *drumroll*
First off, this was an amazing contest to have! I may do it again sometime soon. One of my random ideas turned out to be so much fun! lol
Thanks to all who entered. You all did a great job, and I laughed out loud on all of them!
All right, I'll stop stalling and announce the winner-the winner is ShadowTwit! Congrats, Shadow! *applauds* I loved everyone's entries, but yours just stood out. You mixed in ironic humor with completely random things. My favorite part, though, had to be about the elephant turning into the flamingo and asking if the polka dots made it looked fat. Golly, it was hilarious! I've always loved reading your works here on YWS, and this was another fine example. And the zebras being named Winston Churchill and David Lloyd George was ingenious. Loved it, loved it, loved it!
Congrats again, and please pm me with the piece you'd like critiqued! |
