Hi again!!!! This is my fourth contest, and I have options that are GUARANTEED to be fun, check it out I have four options to choose from, please look at all of them. And yes after wards there are rules, not many just basically things you need to know, I wouldn't call them rules really.
OPTION 1: FAMOUS LAST WORDS
I thought it would be cool to write a poem or saying in between 2-7 lines about what would your last words be if you had the chance to say them. I mean it could be funny, dark, twisted, love, light.. anything that you would want to say or find yourself saying. I have put some examples below to help you out:
Well, gentlemen, you are about to see a baked Appel
(Executed in electric chair in New York.)
~~ George Appel, d. 1928
I forgive everybody. I pray that everybody may also forgive me, and my blood which is about to be shed will bring peace to Mexico. Long live Mexico! Long Live Independence!
~~ Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, (Archduke Maximilian of Austria), d. June 11, 1867
Here am I, dying of a hundred good symptoms.
~~ Alexander Pope, writer, d. May 30, 1744
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 2: WRITE A STUPID QUESTION OR QUESTIONS
Now from time to time we have these............ and if you haven't got one make one up, this contest doesn't close for awhile so please think on it if you want to, remember you could do a stupid question on almost anything about anything in the world, here are some examples below to help you out:
Since there is a speed of light and a speed of sound, is there a speed of smell?
Could crop-circles be the work of a cereal killer?
What happens if you get scared half to death, ...twice?
What if hell really did freeze over? What would we be using instead?
What makes cheese so confidential that we actually need cheese shredders?
When you put a sheet over your head for Halloween, are you a ghost or a mattress?
Who killed the Dead Sea?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 3: WRITE ME A GOOD PROSE PIECE!!!
Yes, I love prose, so this option I will let you write whatever you want to write about, have the freedom to say what you feel, make a story, go bold I don't care just make it good.....
