Yes, it is time to break your best stupid jokes, puns, groaners, and knee-slappers. The contest starts now and will end on June 16th, and will be judged by me and two of my warped friends over food and drink. I will post when we are starting and that will be the deadline. Don't selfishly keep them to yourselves now! Post 'em if you got 'em. Whatever jokes make me and my friends laugh the most will get BIG PRIZES.
Here's an example of the kinds of jokes we like:
"Two drums and symbol fall off a cliff. Ba-dum-tssh."
"So, these two antennas were getting married. The wedding was great, but the reception was terrible!"
RULES
There are no strict rules but there are a few guidelines to follow that will increase your chance of winning. There is no limit on how many you can post but try not fill up 25 pages worth of them. Keep them short and sweet if you can; last contest someone posted a joke that needed five or so posts in a row to get everything in, and while it was a great joke it was a bit much to read through to get to the good part. Any more than a paragraph and we'll probably get impatient and a little bored reading it. If this first thread fills up by some miracle I'll start another.
Last contest, someone got a hold of me in-game and asked if they could submit a joke through mail because the jokes he had were slightly off color and he didn't want to risk a ban or anything like that for offensive material. After a bit of thought, I don't think I will allow that because I don't want to have to re-post them and get banned myself, really. It would be unfair to say "Nerdos sent me this totally awesome joke, but I can't really post it here but trust me it's awesome guys." Also, I don't find off color jokes all that funny, at least not as funny as plain dumb ones.
I did notice a few posts disappearing from the last thread, so I'll be randomly going into the thread now and then to copy-paste the whole thing to a text file for later. If you have second thoughts about showing people how unfunny you are and want to delete your post, too bad. I will expose you in all your corny glory.
PRIZES
There will be four prized this time around: Best overall joke, best Wow joke, best nerdy/science joke, and random. In the random category, I will log into wow and do a random 1-x, where x is the number of posts there are. That number post will win.
Best Overall Joke - 10,000g
Best WoW Joke - 3,000g
Best Nerdy/Science Joke - 3,141.59g and I call you a nerd
Random - 1,000g
All my benjamins are on alliance, so if the winner is horde I will need some help transferring to the red side. If someone has lots of gold on horde and would be willing to trade for an equivalent amount on the alliance side, that would be a big help to me. I will throw in a small fee for the assistance. Or if you win on a horde character but wouldn't mind having gold on an alliance alt, that works too. Both winners of the last contest did this.
Ready? Aaaaaaaannnnnnnnd...GO!
