IRON SHAMROCK CONTEST

[Nd]

Damn, I sure as Hell wouldn't wanna come in fourth place...<P>------------------
<A HREF="http://ironshamrock.keenspace.com" TARGET=_blank>Iron Shamrock</A>, the comic that's more half-assed than yours.

[AustinWombat]

As co-creator of Iron Shamrock, I am pleased to annouce that (As a shamelessly capaitalistic marketing tool to promote this comic) we are holding the 2nd annual Iron Shamrock "Readers Choice" cotest. <P>Since we know that Iron Shamrock readers are a cut above the average Homo Sapien, we won't patronize you by telling you any of the rules.<P>All entries must be posted here by the anniversary of D-Day. Winners will be announced on Juneteenth Day. <P>Prizes are as follows:<P>The GRAND PRIZE winner will receive his or her own authentic Irish village (not availalbe in some areas, some assembly required, CA residents must pay sales tax).<P>FIRST PRIZE: An ode personally composed to you by the robotic duplicate of Bobby Burns.<P>SECOND PRIZE: A breeding-pair of Indonesian fighting sheep.<P>THIRD PRIZE: A week in Boston.<P>FOURTH PRIZE: Two weeks in Boston.<P>

And Boxjam takes the lead, though Adam gains valuable points for supplying the rules... Sorry Adam, but I've already seen the Monkey-mania site.<P>Enter often, don't settle for 1 week in Boston, much less 2...<P>------------------

Sigh. I really need get back to studying for my humanities finals, but perhaps you might find <A HREF="http://www.lethargiclad.com/tor/" TARGET=_blank>this</A> page of interest, if only on an odd visual level. <P>And for some inexplicable reason, I found myself laughing audibly at <A HREF="http://www.x-entertainment.com/messages/53.html" TARGET=_blank>this</A>
while reliving odd half-foregotten childhood memories (which were better off forgotten.)<P>Oh, and <A HREF="http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/oddball/enlarge.cgi?date=2000-11-20" TARGET=_blank>this</A> image is a trifle bizarre(on multiple levels, even.)<P>Those are my entries for now (though I may try to add more after finals.) <P> <p>[This message has been edited by Lord Emsworth (edited 05-09-2001).]

Currently in the lead is Lord Emsworth who through his Tor link, inadvertantly supplied me with the url for one of my all-time favorite comics <b>Lethargic Lad</b>. He lost a few points however for making me look at Captain Lou Albano. <P>Adam pushes forward to second place. With a little help of the Japana-kiwi Monkeys...<P>Boxjam maintains 3rd...<P>Squishy gets twice as many points as his link generates...<P>Michael should have written another limerick...<P>POINTS:<P>Lord Emsworth: 5634.6
Adsinfinitum: 5634.5
Boxjam: 5634.4

Feeb.

[Michael]

There once was a feeb from McBlarneyDougal (er)
Whose sense of humor was most jugular
He liked his pet rock
and read Chopping Block
And ended his life going nuclear.<P><P>------------------

I'm kind of amused that Austin Wombat posted no rules, yet we get odd links thanks to Adam starting the ball rolling. Then Boxjam layeth down the law and it is so.<P>Michael still hasn't claimed his prize from the other contest and his first entry scores a 1313...<P>------------------
