13 in: one lucky person claimed a tile steamer

2 days to go:

23:00 PnQ time [11:00 PM EST, NYC]

Ok...Larry is very obviously the 'straight'person in this act..(funny you could say that years ago and everyone thought he was just the one with the straight face haha!!!) anyway.. he's minus his akubra right now and he's definately STRESSING....i'm gonna raise his stress levels some MORE!!! No. 13 is my lucky number so...the person how has claimed this tile steamer with the number 13 written on it...do not pass go..do not go to jail...just go to Larry's shed and say...I'm owed 1 more bonus point!!!

I'm doing an inventory now.
Hmmm...

Wait, you mean I'm Ollie to your Laurel?
I'm George to your Gracie?

Well...I'd prefer the two Ronnie's
one was straight one was queer
but your shed is getting emptied
so do give me some credit dear!

*Don't think either of the two Ronnies were queer BTW but...hey it rhymed so...give the 13th entry 1 bonus point!

In my inventory I found four candles:

EDIT: No, fork handles

I wish it wasn't a form contest.. sorry, I only like to read forms not write them :p

24 1/2 hours left

17 poems in so far

I'm sure we could crank that to 20 in the next 24.5 hours Larry.

GIMME THE KEY TO YOUR SHED....I JUST KNOW THERE ARE SOME GOODIES YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP HIDDEN!!!

Trade you my hat for the keys.

EDIT: 18 poems in

WOW... I have to admit, since it is a form contest, I assumed you would have very little turn out... lol. I'm excited to see the poems!!

Got me a fishin' pole...Larry is deep in slumber...easily hooks and reels the keys away from his bedside cabinet...now I have the hat and the keys....I'm in pole position here haha!!!

Puts the lightening thingys back...don't really like them...finds something much more interesting Mmmmmm....falls over Larry's damn cat...MEOWWWWW..."here puss puss"..MEOWWWWW...SHREIKKKKK..tucks damn cat under arm and steals off into the night. So now I have more freebies than I need but...will Larry want his cat back...will it be his akubra or...will the things I stole from his shed be more important to him?

WATCH THIS SPACE...there's sure to be MORE!

--any bonus or brushes for me ? Huh !

Remember not to disclose you are in the contest!

There are now 21 entries.

16 2/3 hours left

45 minutes!

YEs Folks....only 45 mins left before this round is over.

BUT WAIT...I DID PROMISE THERE WAS MORE!

As it's Australian Day on 26th January and I found two boomerangs in Larry's shed...left overs from when you visited down under no doubt...I have two to give away with 2 bonus points attached!

There is a catch however...these boomerangs are not available to anyone who has eithered entered or has pm'd me showing interest. These are for NEW entries ONLY and....to keep things fair to the others who have had their entries in for yonks...these points will not be credited to your poem for this round. If you make it through to the next round you may use these points as a wildcard...meaning you can nominate which round you wish to use them in..if you don't make it through.....just like the boomerang...I take them back!

45 mins left so... GET WRITING!!!!

FIRST 2 POEMS SENT TO LARRY IN THE NEXT 45 MINS CLAIM THESE POINTS!

Yay Australia Day tomorrow!!!

Boomerangs are awesome!!!

ROUND ONE OF THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED

I have now the honor of posting all the poems, in a new thread.
