points! points! points!

i've been mulling over bloggames to play this time. too many choices, too little time. so in true setting-out-to-fail tradition, i've decided to run 3 competitions simultaneously - something for everyone! or possibly something for no-one - but let's see how it goes.

competition 1 keyword picture bonanza - yes, it's the long-awaited return of keypicanza! for those who haven't had the pleasure of playing this before, the rules are as follows: on each blog post, you'll find a collection of keywords: your task is to find or create an image that represents one or more keywords, and provide a link to it. points will be awarded completely arbitrarily based on qualities such as showy-offness, with extra special points this time for entries that are judged to have a certain tony hart inspired element of creativity. i'm sure he'd approve of this fitting tribute.

competition 2 uxbridge english dictionary. inspired by listening to 'i'm sorry i haven't a clue' on the way over, here's a slight twist on the portmanteau game. feel free to pick any words from any posts on this blog and provide alternative meanings for them (eg, to give an example from the show itself: warming = an ancient vase belonging to a geordie; or, cocoa bean = an ex-clown). again, points will be awarded completely arbitrarily.

competition 3 trivial trivia. this inaugural competition (btw, is it just me, or is there something happening over here regarding inaugural stuff? i can't quite figure it out, but there's definitely something happening. will see if i can find out more and report back.) is all about filling in the gaps. every now and again, i'll accidentally-on-purpose miss a vital bit of information from a post - your task is to find the answer, and provide a link. no points will be awarded for just knowing stuff - you need to find "proof" somewhere on the internet.

clear as mud? jolly good - now get to it!
