I just thought about this, just to sweeten the deal. If we do this, the winning poster here gets something like a custom avatar or something for the month. We know AAH can draw, and I've drawn quite a few avatars for the board (such as my current one and the banner on the GAH fanfic board). That way, it's win-win for all.

Well, maybe AAH won't want to do that. Besides, most people tend to put avatars they like. I am not saying they would hate AAH's drawings, but they may not want it up...OR they may want to keep it up forever...and then what do you do? Ban them if they refuse to take it down? A custom title is easier because only people like GG and MyTatuo can put them up and remove them, which is why I suggested the idea as it stands in the original post.

OK, let me be literal here since I miswrote and was misunderstood. The winner could have a custom designed avatar made, based on what they want (GAH themed preferably), and put it up in their avi whenever they want. I should've said that instead. A custom title for them too would work as well. With some people's luck, if they won, they'd get some weird design like "Houdini's Homies." or dancing chickens in their custom title.

With all this discussion going on, GAH Noir's head began to throb. She wasn't sure if it was the banter, or the gin induced hangover. Either way, her head was spinning.
So, could someone help this gumshoe out? Just what was the contest about again?
Oh. Wait. Brace yourself for more debate, and more banter.
I need another drink.

I just wanted to have some sort of contest, be it a caption contest or what have you. The winner of that contest got to pick a Custom Title for either Greenguy (if he allows it) or MyTatuo, who has already agreed that he would abide by the contest. That title would be up for a couple of weeks or so. To make sure that the members have a chance to see it, they would have to be logged in continuously for those two weeks. I thought it was a good way to get people invovled and maybe have fun with the upper crust staff of the board. {Josie, are you surprised you need help? MelMac makes everything that is simple complicated}.

Well, since he is never around, what difference does it make really? Besides, it might make him become more involved if he was vying to keep a custom title out of his profile. Actually HD I'm here everyday, however I do not log in unless I have something to say, or need to approve new members. So be good, or you will get the melted lexan remains of an instruction book in your Christmas stocking this year.

Too funny greenguy (and, it could also be a bunch of sand with the instruction book somewhere in there). And HD... I don't always make simple things complicated. Take for example my homemade salsa: Two Roma tomatoes, chopped, two-three serano peppers (or to taste), chopped and seeds/membrane removed, and four stalks of green onions, chopped and including green stems. Put chopped items into a blender and chop up further until blended and to desired consistency. Yeild about 1 1/2 cups, and goes great with pimento cheese.

And Mel--Salsa is simple...It is called BUY it.

And Mel--Salsa is simple...It is called BUY it. Yes... but you should try making it. This is actually as good if not better than the store bought stuff (though I like either On The Border or Walmart's blackbean and corn salsa). Then again, you've gone at some of my recipes, so it wouldn't surprise me if you said that.

Folks could get that confused with the actual movie though. War of the Amazing Colossal Beast which was a sequel to The Amazing Colossal Man... BOTH of which were on Mystery Science Theater 3000. So yes, it was fun for me hearing that reference.

Then there's the one with Tim Donnelly of "Emergency!" that I remember. It was a bit weird and creepy, and his character died. It's the last MST3K ep I've seen in a while. As far as custom titles, it'd be interesting to see how that turns out now.

Oh yes, Parts: The Clonus Horror... Which was secretly attempted in a remake recently. The Island, didn't do so well from what I heard.

The Island was OK from what it looked, but I also felt from what little I read about the film it reads a bit more of "Logan's Run." That's not a bad movie, but it's odd knowing where they filmed the movie. You can even tell it's a mall in parts. (Don't know if I've been to that particular mall in Texas though. )

I was still hoping to hear something from GG. If not him, MyTatuo might be talked into it...or since Frank is not here, why not use him? Actually, it would be fun to do it with all staff and that way we could have five winners. I hope this can get off the ground.

I can't speak for the other mods/admin/staff, but I'll join in, just don't turn me into a pickle or something.

I was thinking about this the other day after MyTatuo changed my custom title around a little bit. Wouldn't it be great to have a contest on this site where the winner of it could give GREENGUY a custom title for a couple of weeks...and have it where he had to stay logged in so everyone stopping by could see it? I think it would be great to do something like that, but I don't know if he would agree to it, nor do I know if anyone has the power to modify his profile here. I think this would be fun. The contest details could be worked out later, but what do you think of the overall idea? Anyone else for it? I think now is a good time to bring this back up. After all, the forum continues to be more active and I think we should utilize that activity. All we need is a contest to promote this through. I was thinking of the MATCH GAME, but how would we decide...battle of the reigning champions Miss D versus Lauren to see who should decide it? What do you all think should happen?

It depends.... but I was thinking of the all time reiging champ for that Episode (Rounds 1-8 so far) Should then get a chance at the custom title. If they win - they get it. If not, no. This time around, it would be Lauren.
The logistics I am still working on, but this way, once every few weeks, there is the chance for a new champ and a new title.

Just rounds through 8? What if we have a new challenger though and Miss D comes through again? She will be catching Lauren. I agree with reigning champ idea for each overall round, but only once we know for sure how many will be in it. I say we give new challengers a couple of days.

It could be rounds 1 to 90 for all I care, if we have 82 people willing to sign on as contestants. The point is that I think we should all get the chance to go through a round, and whoever wound up with the most wins in that rotation should get to go for the gold. And even if they get to go for it, they still have to win the next level...
