I will take one for the team (please add points for teamwork) and get mine over with so that others can learn from my mistakes. I can't sing or dance so... My talent is working with yarn, in particular crochet. I have made clothes and throws but my favourite thing is the story sets I make for teachers. This is a Hungry Caterpillar set. I made most of it from patterns, but had to freehand the finger puppets and cake because there was nothing out there that looked right.    After doing a few of these I decided to start designing my own sets, like this Goldilocks and the Three Bears.   I make these sets for the cost of the materials for receptions (4-5 year olds) teachers who have a lot of children with English as a second or third language so that they can participate in story time more easily.

Definite asset to the forum! They Might Be posted:Since my main talent of making delicious beer doesn't translate to a recording very well, I humbly submit my hot-take karaoke session of a favorite song of mine from two of the greatest adult folk contemporary artists of all time, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Cool dude laying down sweet tracks- what's not to love?

You are from the UK so obviously have an unfair advantage already, but you should still get double points for the ice cream bit. I love Lovecraft and your talent.

Eugene vs Dabs, we should be partners! Beautiful wool. I have a huge weakness for variegated colours.

Fanky Malloons posted:Hi BYOB! I am not a talented poster, which pains me, but luckily I have this other thing I do that I'm p okay at and which I will humbly share with you, since we're having a pageant and all. I love all of these, but the bear is my favourite, especially the way the simple shape and the colouring makes it look like a medieval picture. I would pay for this!

posting smiling posted:for my talent, it's 3D. 3d stands for "three dimensions", but what good is it? well you can do all kinds of stuff with 3d, but for byob, i use it to make avatars. i even noticed that one poster in this very thread didn't have an avatar so as a demonstration of my talent and my kindness i made hockey jockey an avatar That is incredible! I don't have a credit card right now so I will save it for later

I was worried when I saw the criteria for this round. Firstly, I haven't owned a swimsuit since I thankfully left school, secondly I wouldn't make my worst enemy look at a photo of me in one and thirdly I have no art skills whatsoever even allowing for that aspect not being judged. Then I remembered that I own all the crafting materials in the western world. So this is my conceptual art piece 'Homely Woman in a Bikini'. The white tissue paper accurately represents my pasty English skin and the body shape is also more accurate than one might wish. Please notice my specially done pageant make-up and hair. I'm ready for my close-up!

I was planning to remodel my artistic golem to even greater beauty, but I've had pleurisy and a recurrent chest infection for two months now and there's no more petrol (gas) in the tank. So here is me in the closest thing I have to an evening gown.

I love all of these (and am hugely relieved that the stylish TheyMightBe isn't really upset). Vanisher gorgeous as ever and Eugene is a babe (and smells amazing too). HSB has an actual dress, arguing the existence of a real life girlfriend (or very forgiving mother). Fanky Mallons, graceful and deadly. And King of the Beach has a cute picture and was nice to me, so he should probably win. And Munchables- funny lyrics and introduced me to a new song!

Fluffie, I guess I'm the matching shoes 8? Amazing really, they cost me £2.50 and have finally made it up to me for all the blisters.

Hi everybody! I'm kind of put out that I got this question instead of one of the easy ones about world politics, but that's the way the cookie crumbles! Fortunately, after dolls houses, racing frogs is my favourite hobby, so you're getting some premium tips and tricks here for your own future endeavours. I hope the judges will take that into account  The problem amateurs usually whinge most about is the obvious one- frogs are slippery. Well, hello Einstein. How do you think you might make things less slippery? That's right- sandpaper gloves. Once you've grasped your frog with a pair of 50 grits, he's going nowhere. Problem 2 is getting close enough to catch him in the first place. Again, common sense makes it simple. We've all seen roadrunner cartoons! Disguise yourself as a sexy female frog, hop over to your smitten target and grab. So, what kind of frogs do you want to be ensnaring with your slimy wiles? You don't want to go to all this trouble and expense only to find yourself saddled with an ambitious newt. You need to look for big legs, but don't be taken in by greedy frogs with fat thighs. Give them a good squeeze to make sure it's all muscle. Big feet are a good characteristic, as long as they're strong and flexible- again, a bit of squeezing and poking is in order. Finally, how do you make the chosen frog hop fast enough to win the race? That one is blindingly obvious. Once you have grabbed a horny frog with sandpaper gloves, squeezed his legs and feet exhaustively and not even given him a shag afterwards, you can be sure that as soon as you open his cardboard box on race day you won't see the little guy for dust.

Splatmaster posted:I would like the Judges to consider this answer as "The person I look up to right now is myself" because, in the context of the answer given, the only person the contestant is looking up to right now is themself. As such, I would like Eugene V. Dabs to consider the following: I believe in you and as such I empower you to get past this hardship in your life and overcome whatever challenges beset you. Believe in you, and all else will follow. Thank you for reading. This, and please give Eugene 50% of my points for this round, thanks.

Thank you FluffieDuckie! Stickers arrived today. Finally I have something to put in my will that ensures my children will keep sucking up to me for the rest of my life! It was a great idea to send it in the armoured van with the guys in bullet proof vests and helmets with kitty ears attached and the male strippers were amazing. You rock!

'Fun' fact: when animals at the farm die or go to slaughter and the children notice (like when the piglets vanish for example), I say they've gone to live on a different farm, while looking meaningfully at their parent or guardian. The child's parent or guardian I mean. The piglet's parent is usually just glad to be rid of the competition for food by that stage and doesn't require a sop to her grief.
