The pool

I've been asked to oversee the Robin pool. Obviously I can't post everyone's guess or she'll see them. So send your guess as to what month, day and time Robin will next post something of a sexual nature.

In the event of controversy over whether a comment or post is actually of a sexual nature, the person claiming it is will be allowed to present his or her case, after which other minions may make counterclaims. An impartial jury of minions not in the pool will resolve the dispute.

A comment or post not intended to be sexual in nature, i.e. a Freudian slip, still counts.

Keep in mind, however, that it is possible to use the word "penis" in a nonsexual manner. For instance, The zombie's penis fell off.

Send your guess as a comment to this post. I'll withhold posting them until we have a winner, then post all of them. The time of Robin's sexual post/comment will be the time stamped on it when it posts.

In case of tie: If the crucial time proves to be noon tomorrow, and one person had 11 AM and another had 1 PM, the winner will be the person who had the earlier time.

If your date/time is identical to another minion's the minioon who submitted earliest gets that time and the other must change.

The winner will be declared on this blog, and not through email. If the winner has not acknowledged victory within 48 hours, it will be assumed they are not a loyal minion, and the second-closest guess wins. Etc.

The prize will be declared by Robin.

Thank you EE! This should be fun...

Obviously Robin is now going to be extremely careful about what she posts. I think this attention to detail will last all the way through January and most of February. However, I think the passion in the air in the lead up to Valentine's Day will affect her judgement, nay overcome her with its wily influence. I don't even think she will make it as far as Valentine's Day before it all comes tumbling down (a double meaning worthy of Robin herself!).

So I will say...

8pm Feburary 12.

Chris Eldin said...

Heh heh heh!!
Has she seen this yet?

I will say Jan 12 at 8am.

Great idea, Mckoala!!!!

The Robin pool. Somehow (could it be the name?), this reminds me of the movie, "The Dead Pool". I couldn't believe it when I saw this.

Wow, EE - you're tough- it started out just being about writing exercises, and now it includes comments.

This doesn't count 'bad words', does it? Just checking.

I can do this, guys. Oh yeah. But, when I do, eventually, lose, the prize is a $40 Amazon gift certificate, and a copy of ND3. EE, would it be too much trouble for you to autograph it?

OK, it's all fluffy bunnies for me...

February 14th at twelve noon.

Sarah Laurenson said...

Nice prize! I hope you do autograph it, EE. Oh and the amazon gift card is good, too.

I'll shoot for Feb 22, noon.

As I'm a newbie and don't know Robin, but have a near-supernatural ability to spot double entendres, I'll volunteer for the judging panel. For instance, I could make something of her remark in NB 424, if possible puns are allowed: I normally enjoy meat on my own prose...

Incidentally, about this minion thing. I was granted minion status as soon as I asked for it; and I still don't know if EE recognized my superior henchmole proclivities or if everyone gets minion status right off. I was sure I'd have to work my way up through varlet, lackey, and parasite before becoming a minion--especially as I'm not Jewish.

Now what I want to know is: What do I have to do to get my own weredingo?

I also suggest one more stipulation: Robin must make a minimum of 3 comments for every 5 EE posts, just to keep her honest. In the event she fails to do this, the winner, by default, is me. Since I thought of it. Unless someone else already did.

Phoenix Sullivan said...

Well, Robin, that's one way to ensure your comments get read :o)

Wow -- that's a generous prize there. What loyal minion wouldn't enter?

Talpianna, I believe weredingos are out of stock now. Although there may be some leftover crazed midwives or zombie cows in the back of EE's storage closet.

EE, is the going price still 3 submissions of any combination of GTPs, NBs, queries and continuations? Or is it 4 since Tal's not Jewish?

Phoenix Sullivan said...

I don't think Robin can possibly make it through two weeks of romance NBs without slipping. So my guess is:

Feb 7, 11:14 AM

January 10th, high noon.

Chris Eldin said...

I dedicated a song to this cause on my blog.

heh heh!!

Chris Eldin said...

Talpianna,
Weredingo is secret minion code for dildo, which I'm sure you have a personal stock.
Robin may or may not. Not sure.

heh heh!

talpianna said...

Church Lady (and that's a misnomer if ever I heard one!)--We moles don't use dildos, although we occasionally are employed as such.

Since I live in Arizona, I can provide my own werecoyote, if that's an acceptable substitution.

I'm laughing too hard to enter!

Robin! I have so enjoyed many of your recent posts. Whew! I guess I should add that while I'm quite sure some must have slipped past me, some were hot! Guess EE thought so too!!!

McKoala said...

Robin, I can't believe you are actually providing a nice prize. Your toenail pickings are all that we diabolical minions deserve...

Hey, everybody, while she's looking at her toes...did anybody notice she mentioned bunnies in her post? And we all know what bunnies are famous for...

Robin S. said...

OK, you guys. Here I go, off to comment land. I'm quaking with fear (yeah, sure I am) at blogless's thrown gauntlet - namely, that I have to "make a minimum of 3 comments for every 5 EE posts.."

I just saw three fight scenes already posted, and I'm going there now.

And Good Lord, EE, are you on some really good drugs that make you manic? I just woke up, and there are already three scenes posted. Are we gonn ahave a blitzkreig weekend? I'm just asking, in case I need to rearrange my calendar.

Hi, EE

I'd like to dive into the pool. I figure Robin possesses more restraint
than we give her credit for, so I'll throw a date out there:

Um...

February 14th, 2008 at 9:00 pm Eastern time. Who can resist sex on
Valentine's Day? Besides me, of course.
