I've thought of some super-neat-o rules for this one, folks. Thanks largely to DexX's contribution to the CC26 folder.

The rules are simple:

1) You must use either Bongo from Life in Hell or Pants from Jerk City at least once in the comic.

2) Somewhere in the comic you have to use the words "toothpaste," "confetti," and "interstice" at least once.

3) The subject of the cartoon must somehow ridicule people who get silly liberal arts degrees, such as a French / Women's Studies major or (God forbid) a philosophy / linguistics major.

4) Oh, yes. No direct references to other Lowpass strippers. Not even DexX. ;>

Rule 2 may make this contest pretty hard. I'm glad *I* don't have to enter it. Let the games begin!

Dang. And I thought I sucked...

interstice

interstice was Word of the Day on January 29, 2001.

Source: Dictionary.com Word of the Day

-------------------------------------------------------
in·ter·stice (n-tûrsts)
n., pl. in·ter·stic·es (-st-sz, -sz.)

A space, especially a small or narrow one, between things or parts: “There is a gleam of luminous gold, where the sinking western sun has found a first direct interstice in the clouds” (John Fowles).

Middle English from Old French from Latin interstitium, from *interstitus, past participle of intersistere, to pause, make a break: inter-, inter- + sistere, to cause to stand, set up; see st- in Indo-European Roots.]

I think we've found wirthling's first business partner.

Deadline? Um, Thursday-ish?

The name, by the way, for whomever asked, is "Scy-" (as in "sigh") and ("-ess" as in "lionESS"). I THOUGHT I posted this in the CC26 folder already, but apparently I didn't...

That was me. I didn't see it. Now I know. How long have you and wirthling been in cahoots?

My use of interstice was stretching it a bit, but is synonymous with 'opening' apparently.

Awww, SHIT! Typo. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, SHIT! GNAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Ok, better.

Sorry.

Did the few women at your school get really big egos and act like goddesses? We had the problem at Rose so bad a writer for the paper named it the Rose Goddess Complex. I'm interested if it's just a problem there, or a problem with high male to female ratios in general.

Uh, I spelled "interstice" wrong. Because I was too lazy to look it up before making my contribution...

...does it matter? WILL I BE PENALIZED BY YOU HEARTLESS, HEARTLESS BASTARDS?!?

...or will you find it in the depths of your collective hearts to forgive me this one error?

quote:

Very true... then again, the rules also say the comic must ridicule people who get silly liberal arts educations. Hhmmm...

Golly gosh I'm crap.

I like Liberal Arts majors, but I will enter your contest anyway.

Well, first of all, the only heartless bastard you need to fear in THIS contest is ME, since I am Lord and God of CC27. However, no, I don't penalize for spelling, because I myself am a spell-checker-dependent Pathological Misspeller.

That sometimes conflicts with my persuit of being the world's biggest pedantic fuck, but the one who ultimately gaimes from this is YOU with no penalties for typos or spelling errors.

...Dispite the fact that the word is spelled correctly over and over again in THIS VERY FOLDER. Putz.

Not to put too fine of a point on it, but, speaking of pretentious blather: WTF is a Caramel Macchiatto? Is that like, coffee? Art fag coffee? Yuppie coffee? If you really like coffee, go to Key West, turn left off of the main drag onto White St. and stop at the Cuban sandwich shop in the laundromat. They make the best bucce in the universe.

Love,

Never mind, my good chap, we'll slap a wooden leg on the stump, and you'll be able to jolly-well go over the top of the trench and assault the enemy gun-placements with all the other Australian fellows. Tally-ho!"

For real fun, try Starbuck's new Ex-Latte: Six shots of espresso topped off with a steamed and foamy brand-name laxative! Really puts the "express" in espresso.

Stop! Winner time.

It is now Thursday-ish. I will now declare a winner, but first I will prattle on about my opinion of the entries as if anyone actually gives a goose spooge about it. Not that you can't see the big bloody comic at the bottom of this post already.

So I'll keep it short. I really liked the entries from descolada99b, bunnerabb, evil_d, and boorite. Y'all did a great job of taking my difficult and near-random rules and making them into something funny.

The runner up is wirthling. Damn, I thought I was going to have to make you the winner again. Fortunately, this one came along not too long after, and I declare this one to be the winner:

13796

I just love the concept of a "'dog suffocated with rubber tubing' type party," and plan to have one at my own house very soon. wirthling is invited to play the role of "dog."

NOW a reminder -- since Braze's first comic is less than 5 days old he may not know -- the winner (that's you, Braze) is now responisible for making the rules for CC28, starting the folder, setting a deadline, and judging it. ALL BY YOURSELF, JUST LIKE A BIG BOY! Dispite the fact you can't spell a word that's been posted on the same page 400 million times. THree cheers for autocracy! Take it away, B.

If the bloke doesn't claim the right to start a new contest within the next seven days, seeing as the runner up is hated by pretty much every one, and I'm also new (and I'm English also), can I set the rules for #28? Pretty please?

Just to keep the spirit of the old British Empire going, you understand.

Despite my comic being poo on a stick.

We don't hate wirthling. You misunderstand. This is a sort of.... erm.... intervention to get him to deal with his suckiness. Only true friends would work this hard to bring a fellow to his senses.

Joy!

I will post the guidelines later tonight, after I've had time to think.

I don't hate Wirthling really either. (being honest, I *don't actually think he's that bad*). It's just 'something to do' though, isn't it?

Which, incidentally, is the same thing he said when.. nah, can't do it. Too easy. And rubbish.

Anyway, oi! Winner bloke! I'll slip you a fiver if you let me do the rules. Please? Go on. I'm desperate. And I'm also crap at comics, so I'll never win one fairly.

Failing that, force them all to use the killer squirrel from kofightclub. Just to be evil, you understand. The penguin is quite nasty too...

Anyway, just a suggestion. Which you WILL OBEY, of course.

While I'm in the mood for evilness..

Yay, I get to make the rules! Woohoo! It's a shame I only have a couple of ideas though. Tell ya what, I've got two ideas. I'll dash over now, and make my incredibly crap ones better in the process by adding a further evil one.

And thank you oh kind Braze, for caving into my requests. £5 in the post.. but you have to pay the postage. And I don't know your address, so you'll have to find the money in the wonderful postal system. But if you can, it's yours.

Erm.. wish me luck. This is very tense for me. I have responsibility for once... ARGH.
