The end is nigh. All is lost. The hadrons have collided all wrong, or whatever the hell that's about, and we're about to all get sucked into a black hole or something equally distressing and inconvenient. How do you spend your final moments? How do you make every one of your last breaths meaningful, and compress the longings and emotions of a lifetime into a few frantic minutes? OK, enough about you...your challenge this week:
Show us how a famous person or fictional character would spend his or her final moments before the end of the world.
Now, we hope you'll come up with plenty of hilarious PG-13 ideas for this one. But a certain intimate activity suggests itself immediately...so we'll allow discreet, tasteful references to doing the nasty. You can show us two people laying next to each other in bed - but not what just went on under the blanket, or what is just about to go on. (And no animals or kids or relatives involved in that stuff. Sorry to have to even mention that, but it bears mentioning.)
Post your entry here by
11:59 AM CST on
Monday, September 22, 2008. Prizes are $20/$50/$100 for 3rd/2nd/1st. The rules and criteria for winning: our panel of volunteer judges can and will make stuff up as it goes along. Use Photoshop, linoleum blocks, pastels, MSPaint, cave painting, tattoos, tribal scarification, whatever, but it’ll only be judged if it’s visible in our forums as a jpg, gif, or png. As we are fond of saying, try to keep your maximum width to 450px. If you need a place to host your pictures, try
www.imageshack.ws or
www.photobucket.com. We have no connection to either, but they seem free and easy to use. And if you want us to be sure your entry was indeed your work, post links to your source images. The more sure we are that you did your own work, the more likely we are to consider it for a prize.
