Jousting Jingle

My brain is a little fried lately because of being in the middle of a move and all that entails, and speaking in church today, so I'm going to make this a simple game. I want you to write a "jingle" for Word Joust. Basically, that's an advertisement for the game, written in jingle form. Need an example? How about "A sprinkle a day, helps keep odor away! Have you had your sprinkle today?", or "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun." :) Happy jingling!

Tact or Fiction

I thought of this just a few minutes ago, and also realized I had yet to start a new game! So here goes....

Following the theme of the above picture, your mission is three-fold:

1) Come up with an embarrassing situation you either have, or could find yourself in (i.e., your best friend's parent accidentally opens the door to the bathroom just as you are stepping into the shower after spending the night.... what? That never happened to you? Fine, then you can't use that one!)

2) Come up with a tactful way of resolving the situation.

3) Come up with the SARCASTIC way to handle it.

As always, literary devices earn bonus points, but the one that has me gasping for breath while shooting milk out of my nose wins! (That wasn't me, but I CAUSED it!)

Happy Jousting!

LOL Cats

I don't know how many of you have seen the "LOL Cats" website, but they have some very cute pictures with funny captions. Your task for this game is to come up with a caption for any or all of the photos below. Creativity earns extra points. :) The pictures are, from top to bottom, numbered respectively 1,2,3.

WORD VERIFICATION- OOSUP

I was looking at some old Word Joust games trying to find an idea for a game and decided that we should do a word verification for our next game.  I wrote down several actual word verifications from the comment section of a blog and here's the one I chose:  oosup.  Your challenge for this game is to come up with a meaning description for oosup and then use it in a sentence.  You may submit as many entries as you like.  Have fun! 

Those New-Fangled Thing-a-ma-bobs.....

I am sending this post from the iPad my school gave me. As such, I have a harder time making this work. It is very convenient, but now I can't seem to do anything without it, and since the technology is still advancing, I can't do anything WITH it, either!


Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a new gadget, App, or invention. Tell us what it looks like, what it does, and the best name for marketing it. Points for literary tools used in your description. Basically, this is your advertising pitch.

Good luck, because as far as I know, this thing could easily self-destruct in five seconds!

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE

 

The big thing in the news nowdays is the Presidential race. The Republican Party has more than enough candidates but because there are so many, some need to drop out. Since all of these candidates could use a little "boost" to their campaigns, for our next Word Joust competition it is your challenge to pick your favorite candidate - wait, that's not your challenge! :0) - Pick your candidate of choice and write a "cheer" for him. Yes, that's right, our candidates need some old fashioned cheerleaders cheering for them! This game is not restricted solely to the Republican party. If your candidate is Obama, may God have mercy on your soul.  Just kidding, if your candidate is Obama, write one about him.  Please include your candidate's first or last name in your cheer, so we know who you are cheering for!  Have fun!

NEW YEAR'S POT LUCK

This is a choose-your-own entry to the theme of New Year's Resolutions. Take one of your resolutions - or more, if you wish - and tell us about it in a creative way. (Don't procrastinate, I am probably not going to let this go longer than a week.)
