I thought "Actor?" was a pun on the deadline topic. I mean, he's saying a line about how someone's dead... Well, it is a stretch. But I do wonder if that's what itsaboysname was trying to do.
Anyway, I didn't participate, but I did enjoy some of the entries. Congrats to all who participated on another successful LM.

Ouch! Didn't even place this time. Oh well, I'll survive. 
Thanks to the judges for their time, and congratulations to the winners.
Can't wait for the next one.

Oh goodness, my play on words was so lame some of the judges didn't even get it. Yeah, I was trying to do what bobothegoat said. It was a line about how someone is dead.
Thanks to the judges though! I'll be sure to be more clear next time!

This was my first LM. Maybe I'm a little vague but its hard to express in such a short format. No complaints really because it should refine my skills. I really enjoyed the exercise and am looking forward to the next. Thank You to all the judges.
Spaetz.

That much is proven, lol.
Ads in the states here are written in a sort of shorthand language all their own, as they charge by the word. So, they tend to bend towards brevity and eliminate some words altogether.
The man who placed the ad was looking for a paint stripper for boats and through the newspaper mismanagment of the ad, they placed as an ad for a Striper.
As with all the judges,Thank you for reading and commenting. It is quite time consuming and (sometimes) tedious.
Thanks again.

Actually in the States they often charge by letter. So, for example, a sunroof was (even in the 60s) known as a sroof. Or something like that anyway (so says my father).
