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.)

Make Me Laugh, Make Me Laugh, Make Me Laugh!!

Today in Lubbock, Texas, it snowed! And will be snowing for the next few days! Now to some, this is a laughable concept!

Although not creative. For this Word Joust, I want you to make me laugh! Your topic is Snow! It can be a rhyme, a pun, a picture, a limerick, a song, a story, an ironic sentence or a couplet; anything that is related to snow and will make me laugh! Extra points will be rewarded to those that I laugh out loud at!
This game will probably be extended through the holidays because I know everyone will be busy. Keep that in mind when you are posting and don't feel rushed. Enjoy your holidays, and Happy Jousting!!

Turkey Day

I'm going to make this game simple. (At least I think it's simple. :) What I want you to do is write some lymericks about Thanksgiving.

The rhyme pattern should be: (Just in case you don't know.) :)

Last words of first two lines should rhyme.

Last words of next two lines should rhyme. (these lines are typically shorter)

Last word of last line should rhyme with the last words of the first two lines.

Halloween Haitus

Happy Halloween! For this game, I want you guys to come up with clever Halloween costumes!! They can be punny, rhyming, or just down right funny! A couple of examples:
Being the Rogers family, my husband and I are going as "Jolly Rogers" dressing up like pirates. Mediocre humor, you can do better than this!!!
Two years ago, I wore a shirt that said "Go Ceilings!" and I was a ceiling fan, and my friend put a black box on his back and went as a refrigerator magnet.

I hope this has got your brain flowing!!! Happy Halloween, and happy jousting!!
