· 9 messages · 20 Oct 1998 - 3 Nov 1998
A lot o' these silly posts with no pichers on 'em is gittin' old. So, I
figgered I will now sponser up this here WORLD-WIDE ASKY COMPETITION. Here
are the rules, an' I'm thinkin' most of you will be able to follow this:
1. Make ah askie picher of the ree-quired subjeck.
2. Post the askie picher, so's ever'one kin see it.
That ought to be simple enuff for even Douglas Preston to figger out.
Here is the ree-quired subjeck of this here first Whirld-Wide Competition:
make a picher of an okapi
oh-kay-a-pee-ee
OKAPI
Good luck to anyone who will play this game.
