It's time for another Premium Membership contest. The first baiter to get his, or her lad to hold a sign containing the following words will receive a premium membership courtesy of me. No photochops allowed. You must be a new member that is not already a premium member, and a member with a joining date on, or after November 1st 2008.

Random words courtesy of http://watchout4snakes.com/creativitytools/RandomWord/RandomWordPlus.aspx All 4 words must be on the sign, but they may be intermingled with other words.

lyric

seventh

typewriter

electorate

Good luck baiters.

<strike>Stickied</strike> Announcemented. TS

Edit: To clarify some things.

Is Good luck baiters part of the random words?

Made an announcement.

No, just the preceding four words.

I ask because every year I outline my '12 Days of Christmas' rules, and every year I have to clarify. Laughing

I bolded them for you, sir. Very Happy

Thanks pastor Frank for this contest. Just to make it clear, you are doing this for members that joined BEFORE nov 1, 2008 then?

^New members who have been here for more than a year aren't exactly that new, right? Laughing

Also: Do they have to be the only four words on the sign, or can you come up with any random sentence containing those four.
Do spelling errors disqualify?

Is that qualify to win. or qualify to enter?

I think that this qualification needs qualifying because someone who thinks they qualify because they joined during the qualification period might not qualify if their entry is submitted after the qualification period and does not qualify because they were not clear about the qualification rule.

I just spoke to my Barrister about this .... Smile

I edited the OP to clarify things a bit.

Can you clarify this?
The OP that you clarified has four words in bold. Can you clarify that to qualify, the baiter's lad has to introduce these words in the order given or, just introduce them in no particular order?
Can you clarify that the lad will qualify either way? Laughing

Why are only people who are already premium members (i assume mods are also premium members) asking questions about the qualification parameters if they are disqualified anyway by the fact that they've already got a premium membership?

Any particular order is fine, and there may be other text mingled in.

@MOP, It's just something fun to get new members involved. I figure if you already have a premium membership, then you can afford it. There may be others that can't, so this is a fun way for them to get one.

I meant I was wondering why the only people asking questions about the rules are the people who can't participate anyway Wink

I think it's a fun contest, so good luck to all participators!

I'm still working my one lad for a "Horseradish Flapjack Shiver" sign. It's been over 3 months and we still sign off every email with those magical words. Good times! That contest is long over, but I don't understand quit.

Horseradish Flapjack Shiver

^You'll show us when it comes in right?

May the horseradish shiver your flapjacks!

It's been damn near a month, is anyone having any luck?

Posted: Thu Dec 03, 2009 12:37 am

^^ I think I might be close. I am trying it on with two lads - one is so dumb that I doubt he even knows how to take a 'FOTTO' (as he so eloquently put it) and the other is pretty smart and is too busy trying to urge me to send him money via WU.

I think that I may be on to it though with the latter, he has indicated that he might be interested if I send the money immediately upon receipt of the photo...

Fingers crossed.

nice one foo! congrats!

Somewhat related thought: Poking around on Google, it looks like that's an expensive belt, especially for someone who wants a donation from me (I asked for a picture of someone from their church, holding a sign with those words as proof that they didn't just rip one off of the internet).

We have a winner! Congrats foo123, I'll ship the money to Rover soon and you magically turn gold. (It sometimes takes a day or two.)

Thanks to everyone that participated.

Aww, I was almost hoping you'd find a problem with it so I could go back and complain to the lads. Now I have to find something else to ruin the donation process Sad
