Three's the charm. Comedy of threes. A comedy scene.

Got it. It's drama.

Really? The only hint?

I've never seen these Ace Ventura movies - initiation complete with the butt-birth scene.
Oh, boy. Whatever you have brewing Zack, is anybody's guess.

I love the frequency of these challenges. Please let this be: Dumb-ass, raunchy, set in a barnyard, comedy. Must include at least one sheep and a farm implement of your choice.

Good thing Zack is running this challenge as he would win hand over fist. Hmmm...I might use that line.

Appreciate the vote of confidence, but I couldn't win even if the system was rigged in my favor. I seem to be allergic to those damn mugs. lol

So a Rhino has to be central to the plot?

Specifically, a rhino birthing unconventionally. Wide field, go nuts.

I did watch both Ace Ventura movies back in the day and although I enjoyed them to an extent, I always thought they were just one looooooooong SNL sketch. I felt his character would work better as a zany sidekick. On a side note, I think Jack Sparrow works better as the sidekick like the first POTC movie rather than the main character.

As to what this challenge entails, haven't a clue!

You strike me as a breaker of your own rules, Zack.

Give us another hint... Go on!
Or PM me one on the sly. I promise I won't tell.   ;)  ;D

Haven't seen more than a couple minutes of any Ace Ventura stuff, him as the Riddler was about as much as I could take of him in a single movie.

I have a really hard time setting out to write something funny, but I'm sure others here will knock it out of the park.

oh just seeing that. I prefer seeing them a week in advance to mentally prepare myself. Now it feels like I'm already late for it.

Hmm, Zack's challenge. Tough to guess the genre!

Kham! I was wondering if you might pop in. Busy lately, huh?
You're not late to the party at all. Plenty of time to psych yourself up.  :D

Who knows what's coming with Zack at the helm, but I'm sure it'll be great.

Don't worry, Kham. You are most definitely, 100%, NOT too late for this. In fact, you're quite early. Still got about 15 hours until the announcement.  ;) ;D

Actually, I'll likely be announcing the challenge about 15 minutes early. So stay tuned! ;)
