Contest Ideas To Win Pipe Kit

08-10-2011, 12:56 PM

Would there be interest if I did one like this? It is from a pipe forum.

*Edited for clarity*

Burma Shave Jingle Contest.

Burma Shave had ads back in the 60s, I believe it was the 60s, that were little jingles. The contest would be to create your own jingle.

The following rules would apply:

1) Must be about pipe smoking or name a CA member
2) No dirty stuff
3. Must follow the Burma Shave model (keep it to two lines of prose)

Go here for examples: http://burma-shave.org/

3) After a week there will be nominations to be added to a poll in which the people decide who wins by voting. There will be one winner.

Here is an example:

Does your husband
Have the disease
Pipe gods
Must He please?

Also, this is going to be a CA contest and subsequently the troops will not be receiving these prize winnings unless the winner specifically states for them to go to the sandbox instead.

I am not anti-supporting the troops and actually just sent some stuff their way. I just want this to be a contest for the guys here especially those who are new to pipe smoking or have not tried it yet.

I like the craziest pic of you smoking idea, maybe with a little tweaking?
Of course the troops would be the best idea

I really like the crazy picture with a tweak idea!!

Haha well it is a Jingle contest. Did you look at the website that is linked? It helps explain it. Basically Burma Shave had ads back in the 60s, I believe it was the 60s, that were little jingles. The contest would be to create your own jingle about anything having to do with pipe smoking or any member here on the forum.

How about running an 'explain game' ?
You come up with a short statement, and the entries are allowed one guess per day of a question that can be answered either yes, no, or irrelevant. The first one to pm you with the correct answer wins.
An example would be " Had it not been for the light, Miguel may have lived."
Typical questions would be, is Miguel human?, is Miguel an animal?, did Miguel die quickly?,... all questions that are answered with a yes, no or irrelevant.
I'll pm you the answer and it will become clear....
