A Question For GMMP Interested Parties

5 Comments

Hiya.

The Unheard Monkey will probably be published Wednesday or Thursday, and consists of new musicks (2005 and later) selected by some heavy-hitter musically-minded participants.

I was thinking it might be nice to go the other way for the mix after Unheard, wherein the only rule is that all the selections are recorded pre-1950.

However, I don’t know that I can find people to do this mix — I’m not sure if people have 5 or 6 older songs they would be able to select.

If there are people that are able and willing to do the mix, then great. If not, I’ll pick another theme (I have a couple in mind). I was hoping to find at least four other people. Leave a comment indicating you’re interested if this sounds fun to you.

Internet Challenge #20 (Final Challenge!)

12 Comments

Per The Imaginary Reviewer and Jin’s brilliant suggestions, please find me clips of TV shows that were cancelled after one episode.

Note: The Internet Challenge will be over at the stroke of midnight (CST) of April 15th, 2009.

GODSPEED, contestants!

UPDATE:

Dr. Zaius: “How about shows that should have been canceled after one episode?”

Okay, Dr Z. I’m now allowing shows that SHOULD have been canceled after one episode as well. I have to agree with your assessment about the show to award a point, however.

Holy cow, I am quite surprised this challenge was doable! I am going to take back my original concession to Dr. Z.

Only videos of shows that appeared for one episode will result in the awarding of an IC point. But please, don’t let that stop you from submitting your favorite clip of Small Wonder!

Bubs gets 6 IC points for being first to give us five shows for the ages:

Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos

Emily’s Reasons Why Not

Heil Honey I’m Home

Secret Talents of the Stars

South of Sunset (Ladies and Gentlemen, the acting prowess of Glenn Frey)

Jin gives us two quality entries for 2 IC points! Sorry I am backing out on my easing of the rules for your other submissions — but you should be sorry for dissing Homeboys in Outer Space.

Internet Challenge #19

Your challenge — come up with an idea for the final Internet Challenge, #20.

Submit as many ideas as you like. I’ll choose one person’s idea. The person with the winning idea will get 20 IC POINTS.

Deadline for this challenge is sometime tomorrow, probably late-ish in the day.

Oh, just so you know, there isn’t a deadline on any of the other challenges (that is, until the contest finally ends).

I am happy to see more pics of celebrities eating hot dogs, terrible fan fiction, politicians dancing, etc., and will award IC points for them.

UPDATE:

Hmm, I could have sworn I updated this already to reflect the winning entry to the challenge, but I guess it didn’t take.

As you can see from Internet Challenge #20, I’m doing clips of videos of shows that only lasted one episode.

I thought that Jin and The Imaginary Reviewer’s ideas were close enough to each other that I split the 20 IC points evenly between them.

Congrats, you crazy kids!
