Thanks for the game MR.
Good luck to Sean, Tom and CH in the final.
It's been a good way to pass the time for a bit of the off season.

Sandra should run the next one - it wouldn't be very fair, but it would be a lot of fun watching him get himself into tangles.

Do you moan at everything you come across?

Thanks billy for everything you've done!

Bye dum-dum

No I do not moan and believe me I come across stuff that would make the average person moan!....I am not shy at complaining though when some-thing is wrong or the goalposts have been moved.

Final task...

Christmas - the midwinter festival adopted by Christians as a convenient time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, adopted in turn by corporations as a focus for mindless consumerism, gluttony and unsustainable levels of personal indebtedness. Dystopian capitalist nightmare - I daresay there's an app for that.

Your challenge is to select 2 presents (1 for a man, 1 for a woman), each costing less than US$50 (£32, AUS$49). The winner will be selected by the votes of all the players of our survivor game - both those still playing and those that are out are entitled to vote. Survivors - you may not vote for yourself, but by voting for one of your competitors you will be given two bonus votes from me.
Post links to your selected presents and prices on the RLfans or LU threads, and get sucking up to the people you voted off.



72 hours to find and post the presents, then 48 hours of voting after that.

Oh.
I must be thinking of another poster then.

I'm out.

What a house of a challenge, thought this was supposed to be a bit of fun, I have enough of this on my plate without doing that. I'm with the Goose on this and getting out of here before Christmas.

It's great that you can use the word so openly providing that it's directly attached to another word, like toablanket.

The game I was within 3 on was the Patriots game, I was out by 1.

Looking at the task though, I'm with the other two lepers and i'll see you in the new year.

dum-dum, the Patriots - Colts game was excluded from the last challenge, due to my confusion, as we discussed in advance.

I think it is a clever and elegant way to end the game, but then I would, wouldn't I?

Are you a grown man who is obsessed with star wars or am I thinking of another poster ?

Me too!!.......Oh I forgot I was out weeks ago

Yes I am but then again I admit my faults.
Next question?

Where you ever part of the survivor game, or did you just feel the need to stalk the thread ?

You mean apart from when I was a judge obviously and I missed the part where MR said it was a private chat either way.

In that case, I'm even more confused because I then make it that my score was only 6.

Despite my genuine and whole-hearted belief that that was the best challenge I'd come up with yet, and a fitting finale, the feeling seems to be it sucks in fairly massive way. Might change it - any (polite) suggestions?

Responsive, innit?

I gave you my idea.
Name the best film that NEVER got a best picture oscar.
Then get 5/6 judges to decide the best of the suggestions.

Bugger off Darth, that's another blokey boring idea. THE most numbing one yet, in fact.

I suggest an MS Paint competition depicting the Rovers' board Mods team wearing just Santa hats. On their heads.

Or the script for a Nativity play starring Hudge as Joseph, Crossland as the Virgin and Sandyschlong as the Messiah. Mike Smith can be the wise man and Allam the ass.

So women never watch films then?
Or perhaps its a 'blokey' idea because you don't like it?
Or perhaps you are sulking because MR won't use your idea?

That's just silly. Wizard of Oz would be better:


Smith = The Scarecrow, talks a lot but no substance
Sandercock = Cowardly Lion on account of bleating already about KR's opening fixtures and his concerns
Clinton = The Tin Man - big barrel chest but no heart
Guest appearances by Clint Newton as Dorothy (shefellover in the poppy field and ultimately there's no place like home)
Justin Morgan = Toto (Newton's lapdog)
Hudgell = Oompa Loompa

That just leaves the Wicked Witch of the West to cast. Oh, go on then.

I've always wanted to be a flying monkey thing.

They were badass. Still a bit scared of them now.

Nil out of three, Darth, me old son. Just blokey boring, end of.

Lets look at the facts of the last three games:

[uBetting.[/u Bloke orientated and boring. The blokes got us out of the mire whilst us ladies examined our nails.

[uStupid blokey electronic game.[/u X-Box and PlayStaion-like. Mind-numbingly boring for girls, but I still provided sufficiently good scores to get though, proving that us girls may have distaste for a thing but can apply themselves to most things regardless.

[uNFL Predictions[/u Bloke-orientated and reminiscent of the betting task. Applied 15 minutes of female logic to win by five, proving above point again.

Films are also things blokes tend to rave about rather than girls. Doesn't mean we don't like them or appreciate them, just don't go on and on about them or attend seminars dedicated to them trembling naked under Vader costumes.

I just think my suggestions hold broader appeal to the averagely intelligent person, but thanks for your input. And you were so very nice about my World Cup song too

Munchkins, weren't they?

Hudge the Munch. This could be a classic piece of writing. Excellent idea, Mrs B.
