Comeptition #3

[Update] : Closing date extended to 7:00pm, November 22nd.


Well it looks like the only thing which people come on this blog for is competitions, so I'll do another one!
"Yay!" I hear you cry!
"Yay!" I return, slightly sad and sarcastically.

The This Is For Bored People's Paint Competition.

That is the competition, just to say that phrase - the this is for bored people's paint competition - over and over again really quick and record yourself.
Okay, not really, here's the real idea...

Everyone has Paint or Appleworks, and everyone who is here looking upon this page has a mouse or trackpad. So you have to 'Paint' me a picture! It can be of anything you like.

Rules:

• There must be no Googling for examples which you pass off as your own work.
• Included somewhere in it, you must write the word 'Bored'.
• errrrm I can't think of any more.

You could get a photo and add to it, you could start from scratch, it can be any size, whatever.


How man?

Once you have painted your picture, be sure to save it preferably as a Jpeg file which can usually be done by clicking 'Save as...' then choosing the right file type. So this will allow you to upload your picture to Photobucket or any other image handling site wich you might use. I know I slated Photobucket before, but it gives you links to your pictures, which is quite good, plus EVRYONE has it.
Go back to this page, click comment and copy the 'direct link' code from your picture, so that other people can copy this into their browsers in order to have a look.
Click on comments below to see my example...

Please have a go, It doesn't matter how good it is!


The closing date is Thursday 15th November, with a potential of an extension so you got bare loads of time.

And yes, there will be a prize. But perhaps not as hefty as the last one.


Poster no.1 - I will be pasting these up at every metaphorical cyber brick wall I can find.



If you have any questions, write a comment, or ask me on MySpace.

Sam's Super Song of the Week

A new feature for y'all, I'm going to post up a free downloadable MP3 of a song which I think is quite good. Click on the link below and it takes you to zShare where downloading takes like 2 clicks.

This will become a regular thing so I need to think of a good name. Preferably cheesy. Like Sam's Super Song of the Week. Or something! Hmmmmm.......*beard rubbing*........

This song is a electro-punk-glam-rave banger, and the chorus with "Put your hands on your waist line, move your body to the bass line, get your hands after cheap wine!" = classic, and guarunteed to get you jumping around. Or hopping if you can't be bothered for the full two footed jump.

Late of The Pier - Bathroom Gurgle

Let me know what you think, or if you got a suggestion or request for me to put up.

Video from the olden days.

On YouTube this video is simply called "Mad German Boy" and I remember falling off my chair laughing a few years ago when I first watched it. It's kind of worth watching till the end.
See, this is why I have a Mac.

Embedded Games!

Well for the moment here's just one. Let me know if it's the sort of game that you become addicted to or the sort that makes you grind your teeth down with frustration and anger, 'cause then I can change it.

new strange links, dude.

Once again from The Guide, I've copied a few funny, random and slightly odd links for your benefit and amusement.

• How the Play-Doh Bunny ad for Sony was made. - Link

• Some classic movies spoofed on The Simpsons - Link

• The 19th Century was the golden age of upper lip hair - Link
  

• What someone who eats pizza for breakfast looks like - Link
  

• The inner life of Ping Pong - Link
  

• One thing leads to another - Link
  

• What we should read next - Link
  

• Boiling water makes crystal clear ice [which is very interesting in a geeky way] - Link
  

• The mystery of Love, Courtship and Marriage explained [in a Flickr account with loads of boring pictures of old yellowed book pages] - Link
  

• The saddest office in the world - Link
  

• "Christ on a cracker!" and other non-swearing swear words [all of which I'm so going to use] [eg. "As easy as taking a sh*t in your bed and kicking it out with your foot!"] : D - Link
  

• Radiohead's new album artwork revealed [or what should be...] - Link

So yeah, have a look at them all, maybe laugh a bit so I'm not alone in doing so, and suggest any more?

Reader feedback : )

"Sam,
ur blog is so awesome!
one thing though.
everytime i try to leave u a comment, the comment box comes up, but then wont load. do i have to make an account or anything?
lol the (w)rapping competition was too good. it just made me laugh and laugh"

To add your own feedback, click "comments" at the bottom of this post. Or any other post.....

I've got a Big, Bright, Sparkling new competition on the way. It's being drafted as we speak.
: )

High Tech!

Here's the idea:

This here website (eSnips.com) lets you upload songs and download songs, yadi yadi yah, which is good but nothing special. The reason I'm mentioning it is because you can copy the Mini Player into a MySpace, or a blog, but I'm not quite sure what a blog is. I joke.

So I thought maybe just maybe, if anyone finds a really, really, really good song, they could share it with everyone here.

All you have to do is copy and paste a hench big code but that's no hardship!

I've tried it here with a Foals song, just to check that it works. Click play. I know it's a bit of a minger. Not the song, the big box. The song is awesome!

I know this is the sort of thing that noone will be bothered to do, but still, it's worth knowing as a place to download free music, without the whole illegal thing.

The scariest thing I've ever seen.

I typed in "Sam" into Googlé and this site came up.

It's the worlds Ugliest dog, and he's won competitions and stuff.
This is a quote from the website...
"It was generally accepted at the contest that if SAM were alive to compete, there would not have been a question that he would still hold his crown. In fact, he was unofficially dubbed the "UGLIEST DOG EVER!" Maybe there will be a new catagory for next year's contest! But our sincere congratulations to Archie."

Sam is the three time, undefeated champ of the "World's Ugliest Dog" contest (2003, 2004, 2005). Woopty doo!

Thankfully he's dead now. Probably gone to hell.

Seriously, I'm warning you, he's ugly.

I'm going to delete this post. It's disgraceful. It's not something I should share. errrrrrm.

New competition on the way. Some new ideas as well. There's some new links in the sidebar➪➮➫➮→➟

And I'm looking for a new layout. Yes!

The Winner

Right dudes.

Before I announce the winner to the world, I'm first going to say thanks. This has been so flattering and stuff, I mean, 23 comments! 17 votes! people do care! Something that I've done on T.I.F.B.P has actually created interest, enthusiasm and even discussion, and this has made everything worthwhile. ahhh, where's a violin?

Plus, since starting this Competition, I've had about 300 views. yeah man!

To the raps? Okay.

OH my GOD the raps are amazing! I'm sorry, but I was seriously expecting a few feeble ones with jokes for lyrics, maybe even a copy and pasted Kanye West song, or most probably just abuse telling me to "shut up white boy". But the standard of people's raps has astounded me.

From helping James write his in our english lesson, to the dissing/freestyling in Art between Jack and Sohail, or the fighting talk between Sno and Stroulgee the competition has been fierce. Fierce Like Fire... [ thought that sounded good?]
But down to business. I put it up to a vote to decide the winner, as you know, just because I couldn't decide. And it had 17 votes.
So, With 58% of the votes, I hereby declare the winner.......

Snow [ Jack ]

: )

His raps are basically poetry. Just amazing to read. Enough said. A very very very very worthy winner me-thinks! He did 5 for Pete's sake! Come on other rappers, admit it, they are good! Just read this extract from #2. Heartfelt doesn't explain them properly. Nearly made me cry!

but i aint your mate, i aint gotta show you
im not one of those boys, who takes out their fone
talking to no-one but blasting out tones
rapped by some kid, you know owns a gun
whos way to gangster to ever have fun
im not that boy, all that i need
is the pen to write and the brains to feed
so if you ever got something to say
never hide it, dont shy away
i did for too long, much too long
but now i know that my life is my song
so il compose it.

Cheers Jack, you put bare loads of effort into this and, well that's two wins out of two. People will think I'm being Biased!
The PRIZE MONEY will find it's way to you ASAP.

But, a word has to be said to Guy, who I'm making a worthy second.
His raps were deep, with an obvious care for the world and the people. And he also remembers his ghetto roots. Haha

Thanks to everyone else who entered. Voted. And just read the raps.

I am really really pleased and amazed with how successfully this went. I'm already trying to think of the next competition to do!

: )


Sam

9 entries...

...at the moment! how nang!
this is proper good, to even used a old word, I'm chuffed!

right, now...

Here's what's going to happen.

There is 9, no 8 (excluding me) entries, and after reading the first of which, I thought, nah they can't get better - Jack's already one (again).

But lo, the raps are amazing, ranging from hilarious, to serious, from political to plain stupid. And I can't decide a winner.
I have decided that the closing date is Thursday 4th October - 6:00pm
And to decide on the winner, I will put it to a public vote. Probably through commenting this comment with your prefered winner. And if no-one votes, then I'll have to choose anyway.

And, a new feature, a new incentive, and something which I promised I would include from the start but so far have given no details of, the winner will get a grand prize of.........£5, yes £5.
: )

Keep writing verses, put 'em in the origional post. I'll probably do bare loads of bulletins on MySpace to make people vote and stuff.

Thanks loads people!

[Update]: Just remembered - drum lesson now, so deadline at 7:00. And I havn't quite thought it through, cause you can vote as many times as you like in the poll thing on the side. Over there >>> so try and only vote once please! Thankyou
: )





This was Blazin' Squad, and quite frankly, they are jerks compared with these Rappers. Is that how you spell rappers? Or is it "wrappers"?
