For this contest, two character must argue the opposing sides of an important issue (real or imagined). It can be a serious issue, or something silly like the effects of hair pollution (an abundance of bad hairstyles). In addition to the normal criteria of humour, entries will be judged on how convincing the arguments sound compared to the absurdity of the position supported. In other words, you'll get more points for making the character in favour of tossing babies in a blender sound reasonable than you would for making their opponent sound reasonable.

Judging will occur on Sunday evening, so get stripping.

Bazilla May 2, 2002 11:32 PM	Personally, I think adding exclaimation marks would've made it that little bit better, but it was a good one. 68032 And yes it is a real place name.

He got the operation to marry you? That must be love. Lord knows I wouldn't give up the olfactory gland.

It's okay to talk about how pleasant it is to not have me around, but I thought the constant barrage of emails expressing that to me was excessive.

Any regs leave or are they all still hanging around one of the corners of this growing place? I have to dig up DexX's Who wants a character thread, because I do. Mostly because I thought of the coolest shirt. It says: I am a black woman. Neal will thank me.

Some have disappeared for long periods of time but have recently re-appeared (Descolada, DH-01, habnem, Scyess), but I haven't seen apejuice, itsclark, or NastyPope for a long, long time.

I would have thought the pimp would have been the Alpha male. Just goes to show you: pimps are pussies.

No, there's stranger danger in the General Discussion thread.

JESUS CHRIST, THE I AM A COLOSSAL GEEK THREAD'S STILL GOING?! I salute you.

I'll start a thread over there. What should I say. I was thinking "Wassup", you know to play it cool, like.
But then that might be interpreted as standoffish, so then I thought "HOWDY!" but then I remembered I don't use that word. So now I'm stumped. Have any suggestions so I seem happy to see everyone, but not like a big dirty forum whore?

"Sucky sucky five dolla"? That's only slightly whorish.

ObiJo May 3, 2002 5:45 PM	Your sucky sucky suggestion, while appreciated, is too late. You left me unsupervised and I went and did something whorishly standoffishly impulsive.

crabby May 3, 2002 8:19 PM	68098 Also, a thousand apologies toward Neovid for stealing his brilliant sketchy joke. I couldn't remember who made the joke so I just used it again. Plagarism is the only way I can be funny after all. Sorry.

Welcome back, ObiJo. (Not that I knew you were gone until someone mentioned it, since I just got back a few months ago.) Now I feel guilty now for returning for a week or two and not posting again until now. 8) (I haven't stopped reading, though.)

I've been rather dry in the CC department, but since I like this topic (and already had some old 'uns lying around), I figured I'd give it a shot. Here're my first entries. No limit on the number I can post, correct?

9869

9991

10001

Honourable mentions, and the comics that put them there:

Kajun Firefly - Are you serious?

dcomposed - We built this city on Hash and Spam (I'm not sure why I like it, but I do.)

lara7 - Any reasonable person would agree....

kaufman - Irrefutable

drave - Knowledge can be your bitch

ObiJo - Fully Rules Non-Compliant (Just for making his comeback in my thread. The strip is, after all, non-compliant)

Scyess - Musical Debate

DexX - President of the Cosmos, Candidate Debate...

And the winner is...

Bazilla, for his mention in Kajun's Are you serious?

And no, I'm not serious. The real winner is Kajun Firefly for writing Are you serious? as well as this one:

68059

In the end, it was the fact that I liked everything you wrote that put you ahead of the other deserving competitors. The fact that I had an excuse to pretend Bazilla won was just a bonus.

KajunFirefly May 7, 2002 5:45 PM	Well, I guess DexX is right then, "Crisis of Faith" was nearly deleted, I made it and read it over and over again, but thought it was crap, then decided I'd post it anyway, and "Are you serious?" wasn't a serious entry. but that's not the point, the point is I WON and the rest of you are a bunch of stinking losers!
Post #52101	link

fuzzyman May 7, 2002 7:22 PM	Hmmm.... Dexx's Law in effect again. Not even an honorable mention for Cowboy Theology, which I deluded myself into thinking had a fighting chance. About damn time Kajun won something, anyway.
