We’re going to start off 2019 with a bang on Peregrine Arc! I’m going to include a photo below and you’ll post in the comments something humorous and divine about what in the world you think is going on. Put your Alice in Wonderland dress on now, because we’ll be tumbling down some rabbit holes yet…
The winner of the most chuckles will be chosen by me and the saint. Ties will be decided by the Labrador. The winner will be announced Saturday Jan. 12th and awarded the gift of humor. In other words, you’ll be recognized as the winning entry on my blog and you’ll have made people laugh. How great is that?
The rules and photo are below.
- Keep it PG. Pretend your great grandmother would read it and take back your birthday gifts if she smelled even the faintest whiff of impropriety.
- Keep it short. Less than 100 words let’s say. More than enough for a quick, witty banter.
- You can do descriptives, a story, whatever your imagination comes up with.
- Keep it funny, but kind and clean.
- Have fun.
You have until Friday, January 11th (11:59 pm, US EST) to make your post. Author reserves the right to approve and disapprove comments at her own discretion. I look forward to reading your shenanigans. 😊
And without further ado, here’s your photo.
Contest is inspired by Chelsea Ann Owen’s “Terrible Poetry Contests.” Be sure to check out her blog for amazing shenanigans and poetry beauty.

I looked in the mirror and scared myself. 😱
Haha! I do that on occasion. Especially when I go to bed with wet hair. It never dries the same way twice. Eek!
This is quite obviously a cover for an 80s rock band release album featuring “The Alien Ex That Won’t Let Go” 🤣
Lol 😂. That is creative! I love it.
Ha thanks! Feel free to share your Contest on my weekend Blog Party! I think this is good fun!
Thanks! Will do. 😊
*sniff* I’m so proud of you. Lots of people have contests, just so’s you know, but I’m happy you felt inspired by mine!
Aw thanks. Mr. Swinebottom is to the moon!
And so it was that Thrant, greatest of them all, found himself staring helplessly through the semi-opaque walls of The Overworld. He’d reached the gate and found the human-shaped keyhole; but, in that moment, realized he’d left the key back home. A hundred thousand dectars away.
I’m hooked AND it’s funny. This could be a novel? 😁
Graphic novel, perhaps. 🙂
The Earthling Exhibit at the Zoo on Planet Thark proved very popular but visitors had to be reminded NOT TO TOUCH THE GLASS!
Hahaha!
Communication between other worlds was nearly impossible but on a morning like this, Brad deduced the alien was desperate for a pair of warm mittens.
Mittens, indeed. Were it gloves, how many finger holes would be the real question…
Sounds like a trick question 😀
Seeing the creature had opposable thumbs came as a relief to Brad: he had a bad back and one of his shoelaces had just come undone.
Fortune, indeed. But could the creature operate a can opener? Only time would tell.
Is it for a can of worms?
Could be.
Even though the title says “open”, the deadline seems to have passed. So I might be too late, but thought I’d try for fun, anyway.
“Look, Phil. Your pawn is lost in the woods. You see mine hiding behind that tree with an ax? Of course you don’t. And so doesn’t your human.”
Phil looked at the board game they were playing, and realized that it was soon to be over.
Lots of twists and turns with this one!
Deadline hasn’t passed, you’re good. I tweaked the wording a bit in the contest rules to make it clearer. Thanks for entering! 😊
I felt his presence before I saw him through the mist. His dark form pierced the fog like a knife. Did he see me? Did he know I was here? Should I chance it? Fear crept into my being as I frantically called out in the night, “Just going to the bathroom! I’ll be done in a minute!”
Ah, the classic call of nature. 😂 Well done!
Didn’t you know there were aliens out there? 🙂
Apparently I did not. Thanks for everyone! 😊
