Okeydoke, here goes...

Major attractions at Circuses (is that the correct plural form....circi?) throughout the ages, have of course been the superb tumblings of acrobats, the stupid arsing about of clowns, and the fatness of Ringmasters (no Tobor jokes please).

But what about the forgotten, underpaid and neglected jokes of humanity, that are the sideshow freaks? Well now it's your chance to give them the publicity they deserve.

Your task is to either...

a) Create a new and interesting Freak, based maybe on a bodily function (eg: something like "Snot Boy") or celebrity, or SC regular etc, and present them in a circus promotional poster, with a clever name...

b) Take an existing Freak (you'll have to search around online for them) and put them in a new profession (eg: a pop career for Alligator boy). (Bonus points awarded for choosing the worst possible career for them)

c) Both of course, but using your own freak in the b) scenario. This means a double entry, first your designer Freak, and then part b)

Good luck all!

PS: Since I'm a good sport, I'll include a picture of myself for your use. Unfortunately, it's hosted on a Geocities site, which won't let me link images, and I can't be bothered to upload it to Villagephotos. However, here's the link, which if you copy into your browser, should lead you to the pic. Hopefully this will be too much effort and you'll leave me alone

Mariah never sang again after her mouth was sewn shut by an angry mob of Australians.

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

Kaufling sucks!

I lied. I'll do it in a few hours.

gah.

Even the world's smallest family has to make money somehow.

This one is weird for weird sakes...

ok I just didn't do a good job.

Those navel people are deeply disturbing... ick!

This signature has performed an illegal operation and has been shut down.

Ok, I'll extend the deadline, since everyone is obviously still working on their entries...right? Who am I kidding? Arrrgh, my competition is crap.

Anyway, you have until Monday, Noon now

In that case once again I CAN'T WIN because I'll be away for the week again.

CURSE YOU REW!

Oh, I actually have to edit it? Damn...

If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no luck at all. D'OH!

Ok judgement day has arrived..

First of all, I'd just like to say that picking a winner was very difficult... because there were hardly any entries you bunch of lazy layabouts! Ok, I accept the fact that it may have been my shitty idea for a contest... the rules weren't too restricting were they? I mean I wanted to make it fun in that you were free to do almost anything you liked, but had to impose some kind of theme on it. I even posted a pic of me, and you lot couldn't be arsed to make we look a gimp (although that doesn't take much).

Anyway, no honourable mentions, just straight to the winner...

Jrnymnnate - The navel people were, in his own words, "so excellent". But it wasn't just that. He knew he would win, so he even went to the trouble of mailing me with his rules for the next contest. I guess I should post the mail here...

"In case I do win and you reward me the burden of
creating a new contest because my Navel Sweepers were
so excelent, the terms for my theroretical contest is
that you have to have DexX run it, and the subject is

1. why people have belly buttons(any reason, from
mythological, technological, to absurdological)

or

2. Who Kayzer Soze Is and why.

or

3. Fake Animals(like those sometimes seen on b3ta.com)

he can chose exactly which one.

I will be back from my sabatical on thursday
night/friday, so I will be able to present final
judgement.

this may seem presumptious and rude, but I'm sick of
losing contests because I have to go away in the time
I'll be needing to judge.

JrnymnNate"

That is all. The choice is yours DexX

If it's any consolation, when I read the rules for this contest I honestly thought "what a cool idea." I only wish I hadn't been too busy with RL junk to put some entries together.
