Folks,
I am convinced that there are people here with hidden talents. One of the local
papers in Toronto currently has a competition where its readers are asked to
"reverse the word order of a common hyphenated two-word phrase, and provide a
new definition."
As I want to see what people on Goanet are capable of, I will start a similar
competition here on Goanet and provide a prize of US$100 for the top three
entries. I will also donate to Goa Sudharop a US$ amount for every entry
received.
Since I do not want to give those with access to the Toronto newspapers an
unfair advantage, all the entries printed in the Toronto newspaper will be
disbarred.
Here are some examples of reversed order two-worded phrases, with the new
definitions.
1) Tune-fine: The penalty paid for singing off-key.
2) Eagle-spread: A politically incorrect condiment.
3) Mortem-post: Upright piece of wood used by the firing squad.
Folks,
I just know the talent is here. If this is successful, we can organize more
challenges. This particular challenge ends on Feb 29th and the winner will be
announced a week later. You can send in multiple entries. In fact, each entry
that you send in will allow Goa Sudharop to get more funds for its activities.
Send your entries to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
