JCC Quixmas 2012 - Mayan Apocalypse Edition

Ho! Ho! Ho!

and Merry Quixmas!

It's that special time of the year when I get all uppity and demand you pay attention to me again! But remember, there's a very good reason beyond simply stroking my ego. By showing your Quixmas... "spirit"... *ahem*, you can earn real world Quixmas gifts! Santa Quix is a photographer in his spare time, and is once again giving away framed prints to the winners. Whoever shows the most Quixmas spirit gets a framed 8x10, the next guy gets a framed 5x7, the next guy gets a framed 4x6, and after that, you get whatever Tunick is willing to send you via Text/MMS, I guess.

Don't believe me? **** you; here's Jabba and his prize from last year:





and horsey:



The rules are simple: whoever gets the most points wins. You can submit (and document!) your expressions of Quixmas cheer for the following points:

Bad act: 1 point
Good act: 2 points
Naughty act: 3 points
Pictures of the naughty act in my Inbox: 5 points

Extra-curricular expressions of Quixmas cheer:

Rewriting an existing Christmas carol: 1 point
Writing a *new* Quixmas carol: 2 points
Recording of you singing the Quixmas carol: 4 points
Recording of you singing the Quixmas carol with the audio sped up to sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks: 5 points.

So go, post away, post away all. Point accumulation begins.... NOW!

Get ******* jolly, dammit!

 

I will *own* Chris Hanson!

 

Send pictures of the act to my inbox, and I'll send you a drawing of my schizophrenic neighbor digging through the trash.

 

Hey, Quix! I still owe you a picture of me with my winning photo from last year. Can I still send it in?

I can make videos with my new smart phone, so this year you will get the video of me singing my special Quixmas song.

 

Yep! Go for it.

 

Okay. I just need to take the picture and upload it so I can cut and paste it. Thanks!

 

Just to clarify, in light of recent private messages, *you* must be the person in the naughty act to get points!

 

This is the sixthish iteration of Quixmas! We have a tradition to maintain!

 

Does using my vegan roommate's cooking utensils to make scrambled eggs count as naughty? She doesn't eat milk or eggs or butter, all of which were used to make said scrambled eggs.

 

I'm gonna gain 90 lbs so Bad Santa will fornicate with me in the ladies big & tall dressing rooms. There will be photos. and crack smoking.

 

Promises, promises.

 

Incidentally, the plan is to update the points every few days, rather than daily.

 

At the airport, winging my way back to Pittsburgh. End of the semester tomfoolery has put me behind, but Quixmas updates are coming soon! Get merry, ye bastids.

 

As it stands, Healer_Leona is in the lead!

1. Healer_Leona: 3 pts.
2. Lady Sami: 1 pt.

Get merry/naughty!

 

Or nice

 

Will try to get video of Quixmas carol up this weekend. Need to find a cameraperson since I have to use my smartphone to make the video. Donated 33 cents to charity because some idiot used the CoinStar machine and after he printed his receipt, discovered coins in the reject shelf, so put those in. He didn't restart the machine and just waked away, so I did, to keep the coins he had pushed into the coin tray from jamming the machine. The rejected coins only totaled 33 cents...

 

Oh, you never know - a series of documented nice acts could even things out. And there's also the possibility of something (documented) that's awesomely naughty.

 

Believing in the Mayan apocalypse is stupid. Everyone knows we'll meet our end at the hands (tentacles?) of superior extraterrestrial intelligence.

In honor of E.T. doomsday, a short Quixmas video, written*, directed and produced by me and the 9 year old over the weekend.



*with a little help from that Wells hack.

 

Lol - awesome. We have a new leader!

Jabba - 5 pts.
Healer_Leona - 3 pts.
Lady Sami - 1 pt.

 

One day to go!

In other news, this will probably be the last Quixmas. Interest and participation have fallen off dramatically over the years, and people vote with their Post Reply button. I can take a hint.
