The friendly FREAKIN GREEN ELF SHORTS competition began way back in 2004 in Ohio, and since it's ominous inception, the actual shorts have been shuttled off to exotic places like New Zealand, Ireland, Salt Lake City, Switzerland, Toronto, Denmark, Texas, and several stays throughout jolly olde England.
Now I shall prepare my own visual image, which shall then be mercilessly assailed with rude, hilarious, yet strangely insightful remarks, with mischief aforethought, by cybervolk from all walks of life, both foreign, domestic, and from parts unknown. Hilarity and mayhem shall ensue.
Click HERE for a concise historical outline of the event prepared by the incomparable MJ of Infomaniac fame, who just so happened to have won the event in 2007.
I was fortunate enough to win the photo-quip competition back in 2009, and for those of you who know what the hell I am talking aboot, Cyberpete filled the box with loads of treats from Denmark.
I am the fourth proud Canadian to have captured the prize..
a moment please, I'm a little verklempt...
and I look upon this honour with humility, shock, and awe.
This truly is a global event, and though it is not suitable for children, the faint of heart, weak of mind, or uptight ninnys, I encourage you to tell all of your friends about it, unless of course they're way funnier than you are. HELLO!?
I look forward to some exciting wordplay, foreplay, and fairplay. Prepare to witness a vigorous display of intellectual vigor and Wildian wit rarely seen on the electronic Interwebs.
Please plan on participating and making this the best event ever.
In closing, may I present for your viewing pleasure, a gallery of some of the characters who have lived the dream.
You get the idea.
Okay, give me a few days to catch my breath from all the excitement, properly self medicate, get my affairs in order, and then let the asshattery begin!
I'm surprised that no one has taken issue with you yet regarding this long awaited and exciting news and that CyberPete finally got off her pertoot for long enough to bother posting TFGES your way...
ReplyDeleteAt long bloody last!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your TFGES interpretation with baited breath.

Awesome! Can't wait to see what you will do to them.
ReplyDeleteAnd Princess... OI!
YAY!!!
ReplyDeleteTFGES are back in Canada!
Was there much stainage from CyberPete?
Do you realize that if you scrape the gusset for DNA that you can clone me?
p.s. I'll be mentioning this in my Monday Thanksgiving blog post.
ReplyDeletecongratulations! besides the shorts, what did you get???? xoxoxo
ReplyDelete@Savannah: Possibly a social disease.
ReplyDeleteBoil The Shorts before you wear them, Donn.
I think MJ is right. A social disease is very possible. I think I caught something from them.
ReplyDeleteYou think it was Tatas, Bingowings or IDVs?
This could be monumental in self deprecation, even for you...I'm on the edge of my seat here.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! What a wonderful thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the fun you're going to have with them!
A truly beautiful object has been united with another beautiful object - I can't wait to see your interpretation xxx
ReplyDeleteFourth time in Canada? Do the FGES have CanCon rules?
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Donn!
ReplyDeleteIreland weeps for you.
ReplyDelete*starts drinking heavily again*
Prepare for a lifetime of shame.
Oh lord ....I had totally forgotten about IVD's luminous white bony legs
ReplyDelete"Characters who lived the dream"? Poor sods with nightmares then ... and an infection.
ReplyDeleteThank You all for the kind words, ribbing, and legal advice. Creative and Production units are a go, and I hope to have waivers signed by the extras and 'render-harmless' agreements vetted and signed off by week's end.
ReplyDeleteOops... I meant 'bated' not 'baited'... although sometimes I talk like I've got a fish hook stuck through my tongue.
ReplyDeleteSx
yes, **rubs hands together** the soiled elf shorts will soon be mine...
ReplyDeleteOh, thank Heavens they turned up. I was convinced that 'Petra had lost them. I'd grown quite attached to those 'Shorts - Almost literally!
ReplyDeleteI can barely wait to see your 'rendition'.
Excellent. I can't wait to see what you have to offer.
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY looking forward to seeing what you come up! They've been in hibernation now for so long, it has to be something fantastic!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on receiving them and good luck with your idea!
