It's been almost
three years I've been noding here, and I will tell you, my
friends, it has been a
blast so far. So now I think I've been around long enough to put on a
contest, and since one of my main
interests in life (obviously) is my study of the
theological theory of
pandeism, I thought, hey why not make a contest relating to pandeism in some way? But, I won't be so inflated as to ask
people (who probably have not much interest in that
subject) to make a bunch of nodes on it; instead I thought, why not make a
play on the
word? Five
consonants (d, m, n, p, s), three
vowels (a, e, i), no
repeaters, and so a
recipe for plentiful
opportunities to indulge another delightful interest of mine,
anagrams.
But enough
blabber from me, here are the
rules:
1. To enter, make a node in
any style, and on
any topic, so long as the
title is an
anagram of "
pandeism" containing all eight
letters one time; the title may contain no other letters
except a preceding
possessive (my, your, his, her, its, their) or
definite article (a, an, the); and, naturally, the title ought to be
relevant to the topic of the node; but you may include whatever
punctuation or
spacing you
desire -- for example (and do feel at liberty to use the sample titles as well, if you can write up a killer node on one or more):
The mind peas
I mend sap
Pam dines
ESPN maid
My damn pies!!
2.
Message me the node and include a link back to this contest all the way at the
end of the node.
3. No
limit on the number of entries.
4. Contest is open for thirty days, from
midnight (
GMT) on
25 June 2010 to midnight (GMT) 25 July 2010.
5. The
prize: top
SEVEN entrants, judged by me (and possibly
guest judges if anyone is interested in doing so) on
creativity and
quality, get ching!ed hard by me, best node first. It may take me a few days (well, at least a
week, obviously) to make it down that list, but I'll make it.... and, naturally, if there are more than seven ching!worthy nodes submitted, I'll get to those as well. So, if anyone wants to do this, I'm hoping people will stun me with
creative permutations....
