MSPaint CONTEST!
The Challenge was simple: Using only MSPaint (or mac equivalent) draw a scene with the following theme:
Bad Things to Juggle
I received 7 strong entries. Check ‘em out!
Juggle 1: Simple, elegant. And extremely true.
Juggle 2: Caution: sharp. Leather gloves recommended.
Juggle 3: That would be Fran Drescher.
Juggle 4: The situation will change dramatically if the animals are alive or dead.
Juggle 5: Not recommended. Children will likely die.
Juggle 6: Hey God! Cut it out!
Juggle 7: More children will probably die.
Now it’s your job to vote for the best.
Vote for:
1. Your favorite
2. The Funniest
3. The most Inane
You can’t vote for your own.
My favorite: #4
Funniest: #3
Most Inane: tie between #3 and #6, but the buff God is kinda funny
Favourite: 6
Funniest: 4
Inane: 3
Favorite: #6 Besides being extrememly well drawn, the concept is creative.
Funniest: #4 I like how the artist sets up the event, but what happens next is completely up to the viewer to decide. I think the dinos leave the poor guy alone and turn on each other.
Inane: #2 I love how the porcupine actually looks sad.
Favorite: #6, it’s amazingly well drawn.
Funniest: #5, I actually laughed out loud at this.
Most Inane: tie between #3 and #4, I’m leaning toward 3.
Question: how many people actually know what the word “inane” means? I looked it up to be sure and I have been using it correctly.
I had to look it up two contests ago.
perhaps ‘inane’ is an east coast word. It’s hardly used every day, but I wouldn’t say it’s entirely uncommon.
Before MSPaint contests, I’d only ever heard it in movies.
I’d heard it before. I’d even used it before. Inane conversations and inane arguments come to mind. From time to time I look up words I commonly use just to make sure I’m using them correctly.
I can use words correctly without knowing the exact definition, just by picking up on the context. I’ve run into this quite a bit when the kids ask me what a words means. I know it’s the right word, but I can’t define it. Thank goodness for the Miriam-Webster site. Now even I can know what I’m talking about. :)
But that doesn’t mean anyone else knows what you’re talking about. ;o)
I have the same issue with my husband as you have with your kids.
Jes Saint, if I didn’t know better I might think you worked for Merriam-Webster.
If I worked for them, I’d be able to spell the name properly.
Good point.
Favorite: #6, clever and well drawn
Funniest: #4
Inane: #3
Favorite: #7
Pure genius!
Funniest: #1
I have a really hilarious image in my head of a clown running around burning from foolishly juggling acid.
Inane: #3
What? Perfectly inane.
So would that be the entry or just the resultant image in your head that gets the vote of funniest?
