[QUOTE="KDLadage, post: 551949, member: 88"] [b]HONORABLE MENTIONS[/b] First, let me say it was a fun contest for me. We did not garner the level of attention that Teflon Billy did, but I was not offering anywhere near the level of prizes he was either. :) Still, I think we had a good showing and some fun limericks. There are a few that I liked here but, for one reason or another, I had to knock out of the top spot. These include, and receive the famous no-prizes for, the following: [b][color=orange]Kissing up to the Judge Award[/color][/b] [b]Ace[/b] wins the award here. His entry, alluding to the UMBRAGIA setting and the fact that I do not make any money off of it was funny, and well written. It did, however, invent words to make its rhymes (making me wonder if he plans to enter the Dr. Seuss contest as well). It was fun, but in the interests of fairness, I have to set it aside... [i][color=silver]There once was a land called Umbragia Which was set in a sort of Middle age'ia It had many monsters But not many sponsers and didn't make David a wage'ia[/color][/i] [b][color=orange]Scaring the Judge out of his wits Award[/color][/b] [b]Barendd Nobeard[/b] wins this one hands down. When I read the first line of his limerick, I almost wanted to stop there. After all, anyone that has read the old famous [i]There once was a man from Nantucket[/i] verse knows what I feared. :) Still, it was a fun poem and a lot of laughs... thanks! [i][color=silver]There was a GM from Nantucket Who kept all his dice in a bucket A player did wail As he emptied the pail "I take that much damage? Oh, crap-on-a-stick!"[/color][/i] [b][color=orange]Coolest use of a famous NPC[/color][/b] [b]Pielorinho[/b] gives us a look at Drizz't and his (possible) impact on the 3rd Edition rules.
