Now you guess I could just cut out pieces of each, but based on what I've submitted previously, you know I did in fact sink my jaws deeply into those edible objects. Especially the onion. I went back for more, for the shot.

ooh a post from a still-active thread! your reading was 100% spot on accurate to the source material, complete with I don't know exactly what background music but it sounds like something a good ol' boy would appreciate. good post, good reading, five points!

joke_explainer posted some pretty dang good posts, and that's one of them! I appreciate effortposts like this one in the service of even the slightest of jokes, the fun thing is the journey not the destination. your reading definitely put the "dramatic" into "dramatic reading" . . . but even so it wasn't gratuitous; your tone echoed the overblown language of the post. excellent effort, that's five points!

Congratulations Snuff Melange! It was really head to head between you and Charles Bukowski (second place) for much of the competition. My hats off to both of you for putting frankly impressive efforts into nearly all of the tasks! And Rarity, early in the competition you seemed unstoppable, so even though you weren't able to do some of the later tasks your third place crown is well earned.

But also, many thanks to everyone who competed in the tasks, or even had intentions to that didn't work out. And special thanks go out to our guest judges: BoldFrankensteinMir, Teen Witch, alnilam, and fluffieduckie! You orbs are the best, it was wonderful working with all of you!!

Snuff, you win the first place trophy, should you want it! If you do, please send address details by pm or by email (manyfisted at gmail)! Also you have the right to the First Place winner community badge, should you want it, AND your choice of either an avatar certificate or the forums upgrade of your choice. PM/email any responses please.

Buk and Rarity, as Second and Third Place, you are each entitled to an av certificate or the forums upgrade of your choice! Along with everything the participants get. You can PM/email your preferences.

All participants: details will follow shortly regarding "participant" gang tags and lapel pins.

Awhhhhhhh :) :) :)

Nothing but respect and admiration for the other competitors, their hilarious and high-effort tasks early on are what drove me to compete as hard as I could, and there were so many good laughs had along the way. Really really glad that I found this thread in the nick of time to compete. I'd been binge watching a lot of Taskmaster coincidentally so this really captured the full force of my energy and genuinely brightened up my whole week.

I'd be honored to take the trophy, and I'd be lying if I said my greeby little eyes weren't pulled towards it from the very start. Can I follow up in an email later tonight or tomorrow after work? I probably have to ask how to even set a gangtag, I've never had one before, but I'd love to rock one from this competition.

Thanks for having me and having this competition, Taskmaster, Alex Horne, and judges. This was sooo much fun :D can't wait to see it next time it comes around.

Yes this was very good fun and congrats to Mr Snuff on the victory, it was well earned! I enjoyed everything people posted, literally. I read each and every entry just like the judges, I appreciated you. Thanks for giving me something to do, TO FEEL! Lets play with our toys more often.

Thank you judges and sponsors for my reward, I am having an idea. I am thinking of a rebrand, again.

That was fun to watch, and although I'd like to blame time zones, I feel my successful completion of 1 whole (part a and part b) tasks speaks to the level of commitment I am capable of applying to basically anything.

Participants. thank you for participating! you all have earned, should you want either or both, a gang tag:



. . . and a lapel pin:



The pins are winging their way towards me and I will send them out once they arrive.

If you are a Participant, please let me know BY PM OR EMAIL (manyfisted at gmail) whether you would (a) like the gang tag added to your av/custom title, and (b) like a lapel pin, and if so what address I should send it to. leraika, your magnificent entry, albeit very slightly belated, qualifies you as a participant, so let me know whether you'd like either or both. I will process the gang tags in a batch after a little while to hear from people. First through third place, you are entitled to pins too of course.
