ho boy, it's time for some rapid-fire guessing trivia! it's an unfair question nobody can know!

what is my favorite color?

Blue.

Cause that's also where the Kraken lives: right blue-you.

it's not specified if we can guess more than once, so I'll say "purple" on the off chance that that's okay.

rapid-fire guessing was the name of the game and purple is correct!

the competition will definitely carry over into tomorrow, but the challenges aren't through tonight, stay tuned!

good morning byob! and thank you to splatmaster, bearmoose, PinkoBastard, fema crisis actor, robot made of meat, android blues and buttkiss for your submissions! singling out a winner wasn't easy, but there can only be one...

and the winner is android blues! I thought the story you told through your haiku was particularly clever as well as being hilarious.

Honorable mentions to buttkiss and pinkobastard for getting a very audible laugh out of me

the competition isn't over, and enough challenges still await that it's anybody's game! stay tuned!

BIRDCON 2017

let's start off with some trivia

what popular 90s rapper has an ICP-themed tattoo and his own webshow/book that has nothing to do with rap?

correct! another three points for fema crisis actor!

Phew! knew about his cookbook, but not the show or icp tat.

This game is fun AND educational!

BIRDCON 2017

clock's struck 11:44, that means it's officially time for another creative challenge

we're no strangers to jokes here on byob but today I want to feel sad. please create a piece of art that will make me sad. "art" in this case can be as broad of a definition as you'd like, if I feel bad then you have a valid submission!

also, for the submission to count please preface it with the following:
:siren::siren:i am the ma-ko shark:siren::siren:

3 hours starting now, good luck all!

i am the mako-shark





I almost posted a screenshot of an actual suicide note posted on Facebook yesterday, on which that poster made good. I was going to present it with the personal data obscured, with just the date, time, and body of the post visible. I had typed up a title card for it including title, medium, and description; I had spoilered the photo with the following explanation: b/c it is legit sad. Then i erased all that i had typed.

I did all that even though I knew while editing the photo that I couldn't post it here. I did all that because it helped me to process what happened yesterday. This was a friend of some friends of mine, and I had been worried since his post was found yesterday morning. This morning the worst fears were confirmed.

I was crying a bit while I crafted the entry post. I didn't know the guy, and had to ask myself why i was crying. I realized that I wasn't just crying for my friends who knew him, and what they would go through. I wasn't crying for his family, including his young son, or his mother who's comments I read under his last post yesterday. I was crying for all of us, for the fragility of life, and for the crazy meanness in the world and what it can do to people.

this was a good, sad read, and should definitely count as an official entry.

On another day, I would have done something similar, but when I thought sad today, that was all I could go to

BIRDCON 2017

this creative challenge is over! fema crisis actor your submission made me legitimately sad, I only hope your story isn't true, but regardless great job making me feel a way that byob never could before!

take the following image:

and manipulate it. if an image-editing program can do it then it's allowed, though elements of the original image should at least be apparent
