    Delays, Delays... and Candy.

    Been wondering where your scores are? Due to an error on my part (mainly choosing to end the current LM competition on a holiday weekend and right before the start of school) and scheduling conflicts, I'm sorry to say that the release of the scores and comments will be delayed. The other judge and I are working very hard around our various commitments and we'll try to have your scores ready as soon as we can.

    I hope the delay this time around will not put anyone off entering future competitions. To make amends, I'm trying to work out something that I think everyone will enjoy. Specific details will be posted later on.

    Sincerest apologies,
    Daniela (the last person you should ever pick to leave in charge )

    Bing bong.

    Writing Forums would like to inform treasured users of the delay to flight number 385, 'Literary Maneuvers' express service to Paradise. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you or your immediate family. Normal service is expected to resume imminently.

    In the meantime:

    Reply to this thread with a single sentence describing a fictitious candy-bar of your choice. Liquorice elephants? George Bush in marshmallow form? An enormous life-size, edible wax-work of the Statue of Liberty? Wonker's back in town.

    No scores. No judges. Just me, and a massive red marker (more for show than for any practical purpose). To add some spice, the winner will receive a thread of their choice (which they're free to make) Sticky'd in The Lounge for a week.

    Jus' a bit o' fun. Everyone (judges included) are free to enter. Get creative.

    Cocksickle, push your finger through the middles and out comes the vanilla cream.

    Are you suggesting Pawn's big red marker does not provide any ink? Hmm? How rude!! Hehe!

    I tried a new candy bar just introduced to the market,

    It's call the " Youth Again Bar"


    It's got Viagra, Rogaine and human growth hormone inside a covering of chocolate Demerol.


    I woke up and was fifteen years old and realized the entire world sucked and was filled with idiots.

    So I went back to sleep.

    WHY CANT YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!

    Take your time Daniela, no worries.

    As long as Jen stays a judge. She's the only one I can bribe with chocolate and Prozac.

    Watch where you're pointing those blatant insinuations, dear boy. You could take someone's eye out.

    I'm going to quietly ignore these wonderfully interpretive posts so far and offer this jewel of a candy. Here goes:

    Amnesia Bites: invented by Mr. G. Dubya himself in order to forget and overlook all problems foreign or domestic (warning: manufactured in an institution that also processes nuts.)

    I really want one of these:

    Flaming Chocolate is a candy prankster’s dream; red hots on the outside, a dark chocolate center, and packaged in a classic brown paper bag, this candy bar is the perfect gift to show your “favourite” person how you feel about him or her.

    Actually, there are three judges this time. One of the staff members kindly stepped forward the other day and offered to help out.

    Edit: There are just two judges again. Scores and comments will be revealed sometime today.[/ot:b5d1812446]
