Get Weird and Win!
The Junk Drawer Blog is goofing off somewhere this week, but she left an assignment for her commenters. She stole a comment game from Comedy Plus.
The Junk Drawer Blog is fun, but whoooo boy, her commenters are just so vanilla, so white bread, so unimaginative.
Here’s how SHE explained the Comment Game.
It’s very simple. I start the game off by listing two words or phrases, like waffles or pancakes, and you pick the one you like better. You can explain why if you like.
She started with Twitter or Facebook. Nice start, but OMG, her commenters responded with choices like:
- Mac or PC
- Coffee or Tea
- Boxers or Briefs
- Peanut Butter or Jelly
I. am. NOT. kidding. And it goes on for over 100 comments.
I played too, here were my choice:
- Po or Laa Laa – which the next person said they didn’t have a clue about. Dur, Hello Google? So I came back with…
- Clarabelle or Crusty – which the next poster didn’t know, but chose Clarabelle because it was a nice name! OMG, puh-leeze! My final entry, before I decided to hijack this idea was…
- Simon Cowell or Simon & Shuster. The next commenter chose Simon Cowell because she hadn’t heard of “the other one.”
LISTEN UP. Here’s the deal. I am taking over this idea.
There is a big prize involved.
A wonderful Marilyn Monroe shirt from the wonderful people at TeesForAll.com. I wanted a gift certificate from TeaseForMe.com, but haven’t heard back. TeesforAll.com is not doing this because they like me, they want to sell you some Tee shirts. Surprise. Surprise. Surprise. They have a really cool Stones shirt, and some other Boomer targeted stuff.

WIN THIS SHIRT
No, it doesn’t have to be the Marilyn Monroe baby-doll with pink stripes, unless you want it. And then I want a picture of you in it.
HERE’S HOW WE’RE GONNA PLAY:
It’s kind of like the The Junk Drawer Blog contest, BUT, the combinations need to be weird, arcane, tricky, smart, obscure, clever, whatever. (Like my examples! 🙂 )
AND: you must explain why you chose the word you did, to avoid miscellaneous fakery.
After a while, I’ll close the comments and then we will vote on the best combination. Finalists may be contacted to provide a full and complete explanation of their word combinations so you can’t fake it easily.
Got it? Good.
Here is my combination, you take it from here:
Sky King or Enola Gay?
“Out of the clear blue of the Western Sky Comes . . . SKY KING!”
So, Sky King.
No one got this on the Junk Drawer, so I’ll try it here:
Cake or death?
JD at I Do Things…also wrote this…I Will Make a Match so you don’t have to
Cake on a plate please.
Death without the cake would be dull and a waste of the cake.
Cats or cucumber

Cucumber. Because cats just aren’t crunchy enough.
WD-40 or Astroglide?
Gretchen…also wrote this…The Hounds Of Guilt.
WD-40. It lubricates AND quiets the nose.
Mrs. Beasley or Mr. Peabody?
Catch Her In the Wry…also wrote this…It’s the nose and hair.
Mrs. Beasley: she was/is my favorite.
Great Mind or Great Body?
Correction: That should have been WD 40 lubricates and quiets the NOISE.
BTW: My reference to Mrs. Beasley is not the doll.
Catch Her In the Wry…also wrote this…It’s the nose and hair.
Great Mind. The Body is already gone!
128 or 6.
Great Mind. Someone with a great mind can close their eyes and imagine a great body.
stogie or stooge?

stooge, as in the Three Stooges! Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard!
oops, forgot a pairing….um…..Duke University or Villanova thursday nite?
altho it should be Tar heels or Blue Devils.
Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!
Catch Her In the Wry…also wrote this…Who’s Shermy and why does he show up once a week at our house?
I choose Blue Devils for the Coach.
Lame or this last comment?
Beth…also wrote this…What’s a Little Self-Linking Among Friends?
@Beth: you forgot to put your choices… or are you trying to kill the contest to make the odds better for you?

Diamond or Purl?
Nancy…also wrote this…Hmmm…..wonder what happened?
Purl….because it sounds like a hand sanitizer or a challenger to Java script.
Kaslopis (thank you Chelsea Handler) or Canadensis?
Jay…also wrote this…Travel
@Jay: uh, Kaslopis? As in women’s bits? Maybe a teeny clue?
I gave you Chelsea Handler…..that was the clue. How easy did you want it to be?
Jay…also wrote this…Travel
I’ll go with Kaslopis, Urban Dictionary version.
Blacksheep Squadron or Tuskegee Airmen?
