Over the course of the next week I'm going to be giving away roughly 30 million, verified and approved of platinum! This is the majority of my stash but I figured I would blow it in a manner which is most entertaining to me.

The first official give-away is a poetry contest!

Now this isn't just your normal poetry contest; there are rules. Not crazy ones, but they are there and you must follow them. They are as follows:


1. I will be the judge of the contest.

2. Hunter is free to veto/override my choice should he chose to.

3. Your poem MUST INCLUDE a reference, either explicit or implied, to each of the following:

a.) Hulk Hogan
b.) The Moon
c.) Flowers

4. If the previous references are not made, you are disqualified.

5. No haikus. Haikus suck.

6. English only. Good English is NOT required.

7. Poetry MUST be submitted to THIS thread no later than 12:00AM EST Sunday, February 17th. I will likely make my choice the next morning. Hunter will have until 12:00AM EST on Monday to veto my choice, and the prize will be awarded sometime during the day on Monday.

8. All entries must be marked with ENTRY: YOUR TITLE HERE at the top of the post.

That's all folks. No length requirements. Creativity and wit will score you points. May the best Bard win!

ENTRY: THE MOON-FLOWER WRESTLER

I've got news for you, brother!
Your beauty cannot be compared to another.
Except for a rose.
The moon can only wish you were closer,
So that everyone can bask in your illuminating brilliance and absolute radiant magnificance of wonderous materialistic appeal and grace.
I'll see you all at the next Valentinesamania!
-From, Rannd

Entry: Mojave Aster

Desert night air cool and dry
The moon shines full in the sky
Mice scurry across the landscape
Dire consequences we all contemplate
The threat is real, not merely pretend
Our forces have dwindled, so few to defend
The gentle scent of Mojave Aster
Provides slight reprieve from pending disaster
Like George Washington and Hulk Hogan
Each one a real American  
The enemies within seek to expand their fiefdom
We will die to stop tyranny and defend freedom

-------------------


I am Peign, you cant take me.

Entry: Thunderlips. In the flesh, baby.

There once was a wrestler named Terry
Whose chest was incredibly scary
he'd rip off his shirt
and make Daisy squirt
But Luna just thought he was hairy

These are all top notch submissions, I'm rolling on the floor. I'm going to have a hard time picking a winner even if they end here.

ENTRY:  Handlebar Blonde


Moon Flower,

Lunar paradise.

Blooming petal crushed

in his iron vice.

World, Wrestling, Federation?

More like the tick of our

Great nation’s desecration.

We cherish and hold

the depravity of the bold

above the tender, dear,

lines of nature that are so near.

Look above, bright,

That reflection

Of interstellar light.

No, we don’t care.

Flip the channel;

Ya' hear?

Flowers are queer.

Entry : Hoboken


There once was a man from Hoboken,
Who was following around Hulk Hogan,
While taping from the flowers,
He witnessed the hulks lotioning powers,
And all he wanted to tape was a full moon.
