The Feast of Fools is a time of silliness, absurdity, insanity, foolishness, nonsense, craziness, and ridiculousity reign king in the land of Menewsha! Zany and wacky hijinks and blunders are to be expected, but no fool is without his or her own inspiration! So your mission, dear Menewshans, should you choose to accept it, is to share your funniest, most outlandish tales of follies and flubs in a time when reason and rationality take the back seat.

Sample entry:
Quote:
Poetry Pranks
Username: Keyori
Word count: 125
Entry:
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

But he followed the pair to Pawtucket,
The man and the girl with the bucket;
And he said to the man,
He was welcome to Nan,
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.

Then the pair followed Pa to Manhasset,
Where he still held the cash as an asset,
But Nan and the man
Stole the money and ran,
And as for the bucket, Manhasset.

Of this story we hear from Nantucket,
About the mysterious loss of a bucket,
We are sorry for Nan,
As well as the man—
The cash and the bucket, Pawtucket.

Well if we don't get many entries in each category, who knows, you could win just by entering! :lol:

I would hope I get more entries than that, though...
