Carnival of the Grab Bags

The Concept
A competition of wit. We take the concept of the Goodie Grab Bag to the next degree and combine multiple people’s quips into one über Goodie Grab Bag. The Grab Bag will be hosted by different websites depending on the issue. We here will host the first such edition on October 31, 2005. All submissions must be sent in by October 28, 2005 and thereafter by the week before the publishing date.

The Players
Myself, Seth, and Aeger so far. More if they choose to participate. Submissions gladly accepted at submissions@pixcapacitor.com

The Rules

Somewhat simple, but necessary:

1. The submissions must be your own original thoughts or those of people you personally know who won’t sue. A general rule of thumb for this is that the joke belongs to the first person to realize it was funny.
2. No submissions must be previously printed in Goodie Grab Bags or nationally syndicated magazines. Everything must be no older than six months since you first thought it up.
3. There is a 40 word limit for each prosaic witticism and an 80 word limit for all dialogue-centered/poetic witticisms.
4. A limit of 6 submissions per Grab Bag will be enforced. Any after #6 will be ignored.
5. Anybody who loads the vote by commenting on himself anonymously will be a sad, sad human.

The Winners

The audience will vote via the only respectable way: commenting. Whoever’s quips get the most laughs will ‘win’ that particular edition and will get bragging rights for an entire month as well as several other metaphysical (free) benefits.
