Alright,

UNOFFICIAL SAOSIN RELATED CONTEST #1

If any member of this board can name all of the people in my previous post (easy) AS WELL AS explain how they are all related (socially, politically, philosophically, etc) in an essay of no less than 500 words and no more than a 3000 by an undetermined date, they will win the following prizes:

A Saosin related musical care package filled with UNGODLY amounts of rareness including:

1. Anthony Green's college ID card (with scribbled out social security number) *ONE OF A KIND*

2. A first edition copy of Audience of One's debut "I Remember...." with lead singer Anthony Green

3. A CD-R with Audience of One's unreleased 4-song demo as well as Anthony's unreleased solo album.

4. An extremely rare CD with Anthony Green in a band called Jeer at Rome (I don't think Anthony even has a copy) not one of a kind but extremely rare.

5. A copy of the Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer's debut CD signed by Anthony.

6. Other random music from my collection of over 5,000 CDs and 10,000 (vinyl) LPs and 45s, tuned specifically to your personal musical tastes.

AND because I honestly don't think any of you can do it..

7. $200 cold, hard, fucking cash. 10 fresh, brand-new, bigface $20 bills.

I'm soo sincere. People need to stop waxing poetic on corny lyrics and start thinking about what's happening today and RIGHT NOW through the eye's of yesterday. Focus on a realistic perspectives with regard to balance and equality. Artists aren't artists for art's sake, they communicate, it's our lack of an ability to decipher which leads many down paths of convoluted (but no lesser) importance.

Of course the decision of a winner will come down to my discretion, but I promise if even one person comes close to writing what I'm looking for, everything will be in the mail the day after the contest ends, shipped overnight to your humble abode.

Anthony, if you're pissed, I'm sorry ahki, but we need to fundamentalize and bring shit to the next level instead of wallowing in the filth with the swine. It's sad people held highly in contained communities aren't perpetrating what they know is right and instead pat the heads of those they could be helping.

I AM 100% SERIOUS... I offer so much because it's a true challenge, probably more challenging than most of your high school/college/grad school assignments, but it's very, very possible and extremely relevant.

Either reply to this post or PM me if you can come up with anything.

Zeke

wow man, ill try my hardest.

the one thing i always lacked in school wise was writing essays so i guess im out. thats a damn nice prize package though.

Just write man.. seriously.. it's not about grammar, form, spelling, or punction; it's about ideas and finding your path without getting caught in the snares and distractions placed at our feet.

[thank you to whoever split the thread]

Im a good writer I just don't know how these people are related.

haha, it would be great if i actually had time to do this amidst every other essay/paper/report/exam for school along with my hefty work schedule.

DAMMIT. :evil:

that's really cool of you to offer it to us though. yay zeke.

you're welcome zeke

extend the deadline and i'll do it
i just have a couple exams next week that are more important.

ditto

Fair enough, instead of the deadline being Thursday, the first clue will be given Thursday.. I'll leave the deadline up to the amount of response I get.

well i can write really well........but i have no idea who a single one of those ppl are, if im supposed to know who they are im really lost, and is probably due to my lack of age.......

is it legal for 2 ppl to team up and split the prize later on, cuz if so i'll team up with someone who knows who they are but cant write

after my exam next thursday, i am seriously working on this.

Zeke, I like your style.

BTW, I made my first usuable stencil last night, I sprayed a shirt with it as a test. I'm proud. =)

Holy fucking shit that is fucking insane.

If I actually had the strength and willingness to actually do such a contest, I would... But I lack braincells.

I'm already working my ass off memorzing the skeletal muscles, and the proper way to disect cat.

reow

haha word of advice dont try cheating on the cat practicals.......i tried cheating on my final by recicting the muscles into my mic and then putting all the tracks on a cd so i could listen to it while looking at the actual cats........and it didnt work at all......i did horrible......plus i felt like a loser flipping through tracks of myself talking trying to find the right one

I've already had the bone practical. 100 questions. Fucking hard. but I cheated on most of it. It was too easy not to cheat.

The cat pratical will be on the muscles mainly.

He'll point out 10 muscles and we name.
He names 10 and we point.

Plus a written exam, and grade on how good we dissected our cat.

i'm naming mine fookie. REOW.

You're a crazy cat...

Well, I've already gotten all but four of those pictures... you wouldn't believe how hard I'm trying for this.

that's a really awesome contest.
too bad i don't know who half of those people are haha oh man..

this contest is so vague. :?

If you have questions, just PM me.. it's not about winning or losing, it's about the journey.. there may be no winner at the end, there maybe more than one (if this is the case, then the best essay jawn gets the full prize package, and I'll holler at everyone else about some runner-up prizes).. if it's vague write a vague response.. if you mean that you don't know what I'm asking for, then like I said, hit me up on PM

Zeke, your contest kicks ass. If I wasn't chest deep in history readings and readings for my Aussie Lit class I'd be searching like crazy. Forgot I have an Biological Anthropology test tommorow too. Oi vey.

shiit, i got a 'B' on my test today. oohhh yeah.

Probably could have gotten an A but you were naturally drunk and checking out the guy next to you :twisted:

zeke...you rock. putting up all that stuff, though knowing no one will win...its awesome

i wish i knew it...money is good

Woo! Only 4 more left. Haha.

yeah i can definately find out who those people are in like 30 seconds. you need to be more careful.

if i wasnt so lazy, id do this.

but...how??

Shh... don't give the secret away!

Even with doing this secret technique, I can't find four of them.

good, im glad you guys have common sense too 8)

i figured that technique out a long time ago
hahaha

dammit you kids have more time than i do.
but i have more schooling? maybe?

Man, please, I ain't neva scared... names are just names, what can you really tell me about the people I listed?

Since I hate misunderstanding technology giving people advantages, here's the real simple "secret technique"; right click on a picture, go to properties, look at the web site the image comes from, and sometimes the name of the image. There you go, there's a handful of names. Fuck it, I might even throw the entire list of names up.

And another thing; I know that if someone asked me to write something on like 30 people who are all somehow related, and they were offering me $200 PLUS a whole bunch of swill I could throw up on eBay and probably make even more loot for, I'd be all over that piece.

IT'S $200 FAM! You could seriously do this shit with a concerted effort of like 4-5 hours. That's like 4 episodes of Dawson's Creek and 2 episodes of Friends; and I know you all watch too much damn TV.. maybe not, but I'm saying, that's seriously like getting paid $40-50 damn dollars an hour.

Believe me man, this is the hardest I've ever worked in my life. I want this prize more than I've ever wanted anything.

Good fucking luck. I dont see myself doing this

hmmm well now that i know how to find their names.....maybe i will put effort into this.....whats the due date now?

I haven't really decided yet; I'm waiting to see how many people actually try and do it, I'll keep people up to date though.

I have the list of names and I'm currently working on my essay

ALL OF THEM!??! Man, I still can't get those four...

So who all is participating?

hahahahahahahaha, thats funny, o yea dont cheat period it suck a fat cock if you get caught

I have more time on my hands than maybe at least a few people on here.... I sit around with nothing to worry about or anything... its nice having time to relax and shit 8)

That's a list of all the people from the top of my head (i.e. spelling errors perhaps) .. the non-photograph pictures are not included in the list... they're more of hints of connecting ideas .. take into consideration the photos just as much as the people in them.. perfect example is the last picture.. that means something.

Deadline will be relatively soon.

Props to those who have sent almost full lists and have had many right.

so whens the official deadline?

relatively soon

Woohoo! Got a good bit of those right! Only ones I missed where Huey P. Newton... and that's it.

Where do we send the essays when we're finished? I have mine done with well over 500 words.

i guess pm it to him

Man, when's the deadline? The anticipation is KILLING me.

Official deadline:
Feb 20th, 2004

Visions; I haven't even read your essay yet, I'm waiting til I get all (if there are anymore) of them. I did get it though, I'll let you know.

Good. That's all I'm worried about... I pulled an all nighter to get that ready.
