... soon.

Dim drums throbbing, in the hills half heard,
Where only on a nameless throne a crownless prince has stirred,
Where, risen from a doubtful seat and half attainted stall,
The last knight of Europe takes weapons from the wall,
The last and lingering troubadour to whom the bird has sung,
That once went singing southward when all the world was young,
In that enormous silence, tiny and unafraid,
Comes up along a winding road the noise of the Crusade.
Strong gongs groaning as the guns boom far,
Don John of Austria is going to the war,
Stiff flags straining in the night-blasts cold
In the gloom black-purple, in the glint old-gold,
Torchlight crimson on the copper kettle-drums,
Then the tuckets, then the trumpets, then the cannon, and he comes.

From Lepanto ~ Chesterton

Exciting!

And nice poem Dustin

Beautiful. I'm excited.

Last October was my first OWC. That year has flown by!

Cool...but what.

We know it will be a horror, but what kind. Guesses here...

I'll go first, it must include a character killed with a root vegetable!

Must contain at least 2 1/2 hippos.

What about an evil hamster as antagonist?

Protagonist must have penis fingers?

Glenn

That already kinda exists, quite funny too, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101799/

Quoted from IamGlenn Protagonist must have penis fingers?

Good idea....until...

You can beat an egg but you can't beet a root....


Here's a real horror story - Jeff goes on 'Naked And Afraid'. He and 20 other nude freaks must search the Arizona boondocks for jute to weave into denim shorts.

If that coveted mug is the grand prize, I'm in. Vodka keeps eating out the bottom of my dixie cups.

Quoted from jwent6688 If that coveted mug is the grand prize, I'm in. Vodka keeps eating out the bottom of my dixie cups.

James, go up to red Solo cups.  You can even wash them out and use a 2nd or 3rd time, and they hold a good amount of ice and vodka.

Or what about...

Based on the actual events when Stevie showed up at the local hospital with an aardvark shoved up his arse.  Once it was surgically removed, the real horror begun for this small Australian town of whackos.

Wow!  I really liked that.  

But, actually, it is suppose to hearken to MacBeth:

"A drum, a drum!
Macbeth doth come."

'cuz MacBeth is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays and it has witches and witches are in keeping with the season.

Say it with me everyone.  "This isn't a contest.  It is a challenge.  There are no winners."

But, yeah.  There might be a mug or underwear or a cat's head sent through the mail.

Maybe.

Quoted from Dreamscale Based on the actual events when the Rams D showed up at the local hospital with aardvarks shoved up their arses. The Patriots have footage of the initial training ground mishap

Cats head or diamonds pretty much the same hardness Don.  

I want that thong!!!

Quoted from Don But, yeah.  There might be ....a cat's head sent through the mail. Maybe. - Don

Cool!  Sawyer's been p*ssing me off, recently. Pia, you sure you won't take him?  

Quoted from Grandma Bear I want that thong!!!

I want to see you in that thong, Pia!  

Stevie would like to see himself, wearing that thong, as it would bring back memories of the 80's, wearing those redonkulously tiny, tight, denim shorts he always used to sport.

127 Hours  - horror short

Logline: An adventurous thong faces unheralded horror as it becomes wedged in the crack of an Arizonian screenwriter.

This is a first. Me finding out about a OWC before it’s actually started! I may enter, it’s been a while since my scripts were mercilessly cut to shreds.

In fact I’ve already started writing it. It’s called Thongnado – Free Willies. A tornado of thongs whips around the earth’s magnetic field, causing them to go back in time to the eighties. There, they attach themselves to all the Killer Whales in Seaworld and lift them up out of the evil theme park. The now Thong-Wearing-Killer-Whale-Nado, along with a few souvenirs they picked up on the way, like William Shatner’s toupee and the cast of Baywatch, travel back to the present to save Earth from a massive Thong Probe which is destroying the planet with its powers of sexy elasticity. The globe saved, the now Thong-And-Toupee-Wearing-Killer-Whale-And-Cast-Of-Baywatch-Nado stand for president but are beaten by a ungodly Donald Trump/Sarah Palin hybrid who enslave the human race and turn us all into cabbage patch dolls.

I think I’m gonna win unless Don goes for the usual ‘shoestring budget’ thing. Then I may have to cut William Shatner's toupee.

For money you can see me in mine....ok you can't, even for a lot of money  

Quoted from Reef Dreamer For money you can see me in mine...

How much will you pay us? You have to consider the shock value. Somebody could die. Best to have insurance too.

Quoted from wonkavite Cool!  Sawyer's been p*ssing me off, recently. Pia, you sure you won't take him?

Are you sure he's not pissing you off because he knows you keep saying bad thiings behind his back?

Actually, my son's neighbors moved away in a hurry a few days ago and left their orange cat behind. We're trying to find out if they're going to come back and get it or not. If not, I'll probably adopt that one. I can't believe people do stuff like that.  

Quoted from DustinBowcot How much will you pay us? You have to consider the shock value. Somebody could die. Best to have insurance too.

Too true...it's not pretty.

But hey, the weekend is approaching  

I have the most unique mug of the bunch

Drunken...skype...guess the challenge...up until midnight...tomorrow night? Anybody??

Me...me!!! Pick me!!!!!

To save time we can start the inane traditional queries about the challenge criteria....

So Don? The mime in the wheelchair wearing denim shirts, who's birthday is in May and follows the Rams?

They can't just be the quiet type with a slight limp wearing denim jeans, with a birthday on April 30 and who actually follow the Patriots but loathe the Seahags with a passion?

Can you clarify this please? It may affect my script.

I'm out.

I forgot that the raptor attack on page 8 that happens at 10pm Halloween night was supposed to be OUTSIDE the abandoned motel.

Let's keep it real simple-like...

Horror, present day, in October - main Antag Stevie and his short shorts.

Tagline - Horror has a new face...and arse, and his name is Stevie.

Quoted from Dreamscale Let's keep it real simple. Like me.  Real simple...

Bit harsh on yourself there bro. You're not a bad bloke. Just stay away from Australia, is all.

Sub genre...

A man on a mission to kill will wear the shortest shorts since 1980.  You have to see it to believe it.
