***VALUABLE PRIZE INSIDE!!!***

[Oeditpus Rex]

Okay, maybe not so valuable, but rather cheap and tacky. And likely offensive, and possibly illegal. But... aw, hell.



On the occasion of Oeditpus Rex's*

25,000th POST

that DUer who shall come closest to guessing the time of said post shall be

***REWARDED***

(or punished, depending on how you look at it)

with a PHOTO of Oeditpus Rex*

in the pose of the winner's choice!**



NOTE THAT THIS IS POST NUMBER 24,956. DO THE MATH. THAT MEANS 44 REMAIN.



***ACT NOW!!!***




OFFICIAL RULEZ: One entry per household. Entrants must be legal residents of Earth and members of Democratic Underground in good standing (which means not Walt Starr). Anyone waiting in line for an iPhone is not eligible. Entries MUST be posted in the context of Pacific Daylight Time to prevent mathematical errors that could lead to a nasty lawsuit.

The winner may, at his or her discretion (assuming he or she has any, which is automatically in question by his or her entry in this silly contest), select a more valuable prize, such as a photo of a dirty old stick.



*Me.

**Within reasonable limitations, where "reasonable" is defined by the Prize Committee (also me). The decision of the Prize Committee (still me) is final, so SUFFah.

1. 10am tomorrow morning!

I think you could post 44 times tonight, but you're got something resembling a life, so I don't think you will. I think it will be early tomorrow.

3. Oh, ye of little faith

I'm a post ho. Didn't you know that?

[querelle]

25. Post Ho?

I'd settle for just a simple ho these days. Preferably a dirty ho. Could that be you?

8. Please define the term "in good standing".

And what type of wood is the stick?

Yup — larch.



The larch.



"In good standing" = not resting beneath a granite chiclet.

34. He wants to keep us in suspense. Remember he did this last year.

Odie seems to love having fun and he plays nicely with his friends!
