So...
I believe I have WELL abused of your sanity and time with minutes (mmm... hours.... days ?) of your life you'll never see again. So this time, I've turned things upside down,
A "simple" riddle to find a 12% discount coupon for the whole website, valid tomorrow only because
it will be 12/12/12 !
Then, we'll proceed with a creativity contest that I'll detail further
Riddle.
Solutions uses capital letters and digits, no space or weird characters.
First to find the (working) code can post it IF HE/SHE wants, there's nothing to "win" except the discount itself ;)
- Like Trainspotting but for a very specific animal
- They are twelve, for sure
- A country from The Americas that produces what I need daily
use the discount code at the end of the checkout process
And now for something completely different
Creativity contest :
you might believe I've been making fun of you with all those riddles, with a single "chosen one" for the reward, you came home dirty and broke from the mad dash and the mud fight, you lost 7 keyboards back in the F5 days,
time to get your vengeance ;D
Build up a funny story about me. Rib my chest. No blatant insults please ;)
The goal is to be creative. You can write something, draw something, make a cartoon, a comic strip, a short story ANYTHING. Try your best to do something WELL MADE, get some proof-reading. Movies accepted but think about it as a director, with a story and good editing.
Feel free to imitate / impersonate me. I don't care about my accent, being from a whining country or being overweight.
The goal isn't to find my limit but to have fun, even if it includes making fun of my, my OCD, being an engineer, whatever !
Example :
Erv' frowned at the threadmill. While "props that work" is generally fun, he thought that he would prefer this time a "hero" static piece of equipment. *sigh*.
The threadmill control panel emitted a funny melody as Erv' scanned his 3rd finger (the one you give to the gym) followed by a vader quote "don't make me destroy you, I find your lack of exercise disturbing".
Customization is supposed to have an end, but it barely applies in the Plecterlabs basement.
As he starts jogging, Erv's mind start flowing. Connecting a generator to the threadmill to power the CF automated chip placer was not such a bad idea at the end, and more efficient than the army of minions that were BBQed, back in the summer. xxx economy, even food is expensive now.
Being force to run to make the boards production happening was probably the best move to make, even if for now I'm not technically going very far, he thinks. Still, it's generating funds, and it's a worthier fat conversion compared to Tyler Durden's soap.
"I have to keep going", he whispers to himself, as sweat starts to drench his "resistance is futile if < 1 ohm" t-shirt. 1 mile for 2 produced CF isn't such a bad deal after all.
I could probably ramble like that all day but I'd like to HEAR your stuff. Paper creativity (ie, what can be printed) is preferred as I might get it paginated and printed at lulu.com. After all I'm a darn collector too. You can also technically "build" something IF (and only IF) it tells a story on its own (and then take pictures of it)
