In theory, this was supposed to be over when Munich was over, but a) I haven’t been paying attention b) I can’t seem to find closure with a tournament that ends with a walkover (this is disappointment, not criticism) c) Ye Olde Powers That Be had to delete the original when they moved us to our new home and finally c) two of the babies that insprired this haven’t arrived yet. So we’re having another go at:
The “Babies Poppin’ Up Everywhere” Nursery Rhyme Contest
Welcome to the Second Edition of the Amézon Slam! I was going to wait for <s>hell to freeze over</s> the Sanex boards to reappear to begin this event, but I have grown <s>bored and wish to be entertained</s> impatient.
The theme this time around, in honor of all the friends and colleagues who have chosen this moment in time to get pregnant/give birth, is nursery rhymes: they can be for or about the player of your choice - or for/about the player’s baby of your choice (hello Graf, JHD and Mandlikova fans). They can be original works or reinterpretations of the classics (although you might wish to let the Judges know which ones you’re rewriting just in case we’re feeling dense).
The prize has yet to be determined, but will most likely include a bag of Jelly Tots.
Rules:<br />- You have until December 31, 2001<br />- You can enter as many times as you’d like<br />- You can post your entries either on the <br />Eliot, Mary’s twins, Jaden Gil,<br />‘Round you, your loved ones are fawning!<br />Don’t worry your heads,<br />but as you sleep in your beds,<br />You breathe hope in our millennium dawning!<br />[/i]
