October: ParaTed2k's (Not So) Famous $5 Giveaway Game  

Last month I started a game where I offered a $5 prize to the person who could come up with the funniest ACORN Acronym. Congratulations again to Betsyraeduke for winning that one! I know I said that they all wouldn't be political, and they won't, but this one will be.

This one goes with my new position, teaching guitar as part of an afterschool program at a local elementary school. I wrote an article about it, poking fun at the teachers who abuse their position to spread their left wing political views in the classroom. Here at the Giveaway Game I thought it would be fun to continue that spirit of satire.

Write a couple of verses of lyrics that you would incorporate into a song you might use to teach elementary kids your political views. Left, right, moderate, whatever. It can satirize Obama, Bush, or even support ers of either.

Ground rules... no words that can't pass MyLot censors... if you try to get past them with zeros for "O", "$" for S or "@" for a, you won't get past me. If you try it, you might make me laugh, but you will also be disqualified.

I'm the only judge, and my judgement is final. That means I might not pick the one that sent liquid refreshment shooting from oral to ossicle. There might even be more than one that cause an aural soda fountain, but only one can win. In that case, I'll just have to wing it. If you don't like the outcome, well.... put up your own $5 and then you get to be the judge!

Remember, even though I'm the one and only judge, and you know my political views... you also know I'm willing to have a good laugh at my own expense. Don't worry if your entry might not agree with my views, this contest is listed under "humor" not "politics".

Funny gets the money!
