far be it from me to threaten anyone, i am sure our Taskmasters are above such things, but i'm not even arguing the point about the fact I got NASA to take a photo (from freakin' space no less) which also shows an aurora. and let me tell you buddy, they were not easy to convince! i had to tell them it was for the sake of BYOB

i'm just saying that people have driven literally thousands of kilometers to try and rid themselves of The Curse... what people choose to do with that information is up to them

are you trying to put a curse on the taskmaster?? blasphemous

quite the opposite friend, i'm trying to save them from curses which are said to bedevil those who disturb the sacred forces of Uluru - i love our Taskmaster and wouldn't want anything... unfortunate... to happen to them!

Good morning! I hope you all are well rested and ready to take on another day of tasking!

Task 3

Hopefully you are familiar with the BYOB Goldmine. As wonderful as it is, it's missing something: your posts! Or more specifically, posts that you could have and possibly should have made in those goldmined threads!

Your task is to select a single thread--the best thread, from your perspective--from the BYOB Goldmine, and then write a single post (from you) that should have been in that thread. The combined best thread choice and best missing post wins! You have until 11:30AM Eastern to select your thread and post a link to the thread, along with the text of the post you think should have been included, ITT. That's an hour and a half away. Your time starts . . . now!

The BYOB Goldmine is a very special place full of beautiful threads that have been lovingly cultivated by the coolest and chillest of BYOB. With hundreds of threads to choose from I knew that only something truly spectacular was befitting of the presence, the wit, the grandeur of BYOB's Dark Queen Rarity. I have scoured every thread, nay every post and each one is worthy of praise but this led me to a dismal perplexion. How could I decide one thread on which to bestow my love when all our so deserving? So many wonderful OPs, so many wonderful creators, to choose a favourite between them would cause quite the brouhaha. Truly I was lost in confusion. But then it hit me, in order to pay real homage to the foremothers that have paved the roads on which I now walk there was only one legitimate contender. To recognise where we are going we have to recognise where we have been and therefore I had to go back. Back all the way to the very birth, nay the divine creation from which the BYOB Goldmine was formed. With that in mind it was time to write a post of such alacrity, such candid honesty, such eye-searing beauty that all who saw it would treasure the image in their memories for the rest of their days. Writing such a memorable screed may seem a formidable challenge but it is one I undertook with great fervour. Long did I rack my brains until the letters began to form, drawing themselves together in my mind as a message from a higher being. Such wisdom was designed to be imparted, finally I had found a post worthy of being celebrated in the halls of greatness in which our goldmine rests. So steel yourselves my orbs, for you are about to read what may - no, what must be - the greatest post in the history of our hallowed forums.

a quote of elegant simplicity, yet there is no dearth of heady things to say about it. would that we could turn back time to the simple but chaotic celebrations of yesteryear, when we were free of plagues, questionable leaders, and so many of the worries that have chafed at us in recent years, and encourage windy to go to that drat party! such a refined and sophisticated entry deserves a refined and sophisticated score. Three points!

I think I am going to post the running totals at the end of each day, rather than after each task, unless people feel differently?

TASK 4

If you have spent any time in BYOB, you might have come across a reference to the glorious snail with human titties (also here). Not a BYOB mascot exactly (that job is reserved for the hammock kitten, PBUH) but definitely a favorite and much revered figure.

:nws:

image of the snail :nws:

Your task is to build a statue (out of whatever materials may be handy) of the SWHT that befits its grandeur! Post a photo/image of the statue itt NO LATER THAN 3:00PM EST BUT NO EARLIER THAN 2:45PM EST. In other words, there is a roughly 15-minute window a little more than two hours from now to post your entry--don't post it before, and if you post it afterwards you'll be too late!

It galls me to have to do this, but out of an abundance of caution, if your entry contains NWS material, please use :nws:

tags and link, rather than embed, your picture.

Your time starts . . . now!!
