h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I should love to see the judges complete the following challenge :
Write a Valentine, based on one of three adjectives. (I've played fair and chosen the first 3 from the most recent piece of their writing I could find.)

Galaxy Babe: in-your-face, talentless, memorable;
Pinn: long, last, seasonal:
Skankyrich: novel, brand-new, great.

Tee-hee!

Bum. I thought I'd come up with something for the next challenge, but it's very like something that's already in the Gudie, so I'll have to do some tweaking or re-orienting.

Ooooh,beggar. I could work this up into a perfectly respectable GE. But would the judges pounce on it as not sufficiently stretching? I think I need to face my demons and do some fiction

dmitri sez I should bring this bottle of Glenfiddich in and share it around.

Happy Friday everyone - bottoms up!

Does anybody know if the title is supposed to end in a double letter?

Happy Friday, and thanks for the Glenfiddich.

I wondered about the title business myself, MVP.

Handy that Glenfiddich meets the requirements, eh?

I don't think it specifies. But it's such a tight competition that I wouldn't want to give the judges any reason to deduct marks! You could add one in for Stretch porpoises, and then if it makes more sense to remove it before it is picked for the Guide, so be it.

Now, what else is in this week's mini-bar: beer, sherry, and Bacardi Breezers.

How about a Cuba Libre?

Drinkin' rum and coca-cola...

Hasn't any double letters, sorry EH-UHHHH!

I didn't set the challenge but I have emailed the Big Boys for clarification

boys & girls

Ms GB

Sorry to the slowness.

'Workin' for the Yankee dollar', though...

Thanks for the clarification.

It's gone awful quiet round here. Is everyone else quietly polishing their brilliant pieces? In which case, I'm heading for the exit.

Perhaps I'd better lay up the quantities of consoling and now.

Maybe everybody's just having a blue Monday.

*chews fingernails*

I'm snowed under - been put in charge of PR for a new project at work so I'm writing press releases, plus the work blog and Twitter account both need content, plus the actual 9-5 of my job needs to be done..

Oh, and I'm moving house next week. Plenty of time for Stretching!

Well. That was...interesting . It was like being given a huge blank canvas and a wonky brush to paint with. And I was rather pleased with my little stick man until I saw everyone else's glorious technicolour landscapes...

*crawls into a corner gibbering*

Oh, and with 2 drop-outs, if we lose 3 people after eviction that's 5 out of the original 14 - over a third - gone at this first milestone.

It's getting like one of those Agatha Christies where the bodies pile up and there aren't that many people left who could be the murderer

That was certainly difficult. I kept having to scrap sentences because I couldn't find any way to end them with a double-lettered word. Tricky, but fun. I'm off to read the rest of the submissions now.
