» wing | One Dollar Jackpot - 25 Words or Less Competition

Apparently she’s been turned into either a drug (crystal meth) or a ball (a crystal ball).

At this point I would like to stand up and applaud you all, I’d like to but I won’t, that’s just weird. Standing in front of your computer like an idiot clapping - who would think to do that anyway? Not me.

I really really enjoyed today’s entries - again I laughed out loud at some of them, Lara (my wife) tells me I never laugh out loud so shh! don’t tell her I did. I enjoyed them so much so that I’m going to tell you what they were. Who would have thought?

First The Crystal Methers

• My friend, who’s very frank
  Used to use crystal meth or crank
  But now he’s clean; don’t book
  Take a prozac, He’s not a crook.
• To be frank, I love Prozac,
  But what about the crack?
  Crystal meth really has the nack

Interesting - both aren’t called frank - but both have crystal meth.

People Called Frank (I would have too but we’re not on speaking terms)

• While reading a book on Prozac,
  Crystal clear, Frank heard Jack
  Tell a story about a pail and Jill
  And their adventures on the hill.

• Frank asked his crystal ball,
  He also searched his magic book;
  “Depressed, who do I call?”
  “Captain Prozac! There! look!”

• Frank was in to prozac,
  one prozac a day.
  he felt the sky was falling and headed to crystal bay…

• Hey Frank, to be frank
  I see your eyes glowing like crystal
  when reading that book about prozac
  I’m wondering why

• Frank would write a book
  About the love of his crystal ball
  But the Prozac that he took
  Cause the gyspy’s effort to stall

The Odd Ones Out…

• I wanna be Frank about Prozac
  If you want to see things Crystal clear
  Then forego drugs, read up on stress
  And Book a flight to Tangier

• Three things are certain:
  Frank, Prozac and Crystal;
  I should write a Book.

Really - they were all worth reading - except maybe that book about certainties. I would probably find that a little boring… and maybe inaccurate. I find it difficult to choose who will win most days but today was harder still! However - a dollar cannot be split up, I know this because once I tried to and it slapped me. Slapped me hard with a cold fish. The fish was rude to me - which hurt the most. I don’t like fish anymore.
But I do like Wing! Wing wins again with a little beauty - different from your usual four line rhyme, and a nice little one about a guy named Frank.

Frank was in to prozac,
one prozac a day.
he felt the sky was falling and headed to crystal bay…

Awesome work Wing

I couldn’t have picked a worse subject could I? 1990’s fashion was so ugly you couldn’t bring yourself to enter the competition could you? Well - I sure know how to do it well! All I got were these two entries…

White 10 hole Doc Martens.
I mean really, who didn’t think they were the coolest?

and

fashion in the 90’s,
consisted of floaties,
with scrunchies and light up shoes
who would have thought they were so not cool…

And you know what? They both win. You wait for 2 days, and you think ‘maybe two dollars will I get yes?’ No Yoda - you won’t sadly - because you are a fictional character (stay tuned for more hilarious antics on that joke - it’s really worth it).

Our winners today are both named. Most likely because their parents gave them one each. One is called Wing, the other DJ. I know a guy called Wing - he’s Chinese so I can’t say it’s a silly name. Wing is a cool guy. DJ however… Dj Dj Dj. *some joke about Full House here*.

Ever get the feeling your story/post isn’t going anywhere? I once received a handy tip on how to finish things off if you have no direction (it often happens to me).

And then I found fifty bucks!

…Enjoy your dollar guys!
