Just mailed it in without even a test post. Good thing about that whole "dropping your lowest week's total" rule.
I have so little inspiration this week that I can't even think of a decent Markdown substitution.

I was just coming here to post the exact same thing.
Also, people, vote for week 5 if you haven't already. Remember, you don't have to enter to be able to vote. Also, every time you vote you get another terrific chance to win a really cool set of etched Jim and Pam glasses.
Also, take a look a the bumper sticker entries. Vote. Please. That is all.
My other idea for this week was to actually wait until 9:58pm, copy one of your entries, change everything to say Creed, and submit.
My first thought was to write an Andy essay that started with something like "Webster's dictionary defines 'legacy' as . . ." And then the last sentence would start "In conclusion, I'd like to conclude . . ." But then I went a different way, perhaps wrongly.
Okaaaaay... so I'm getting the impression that my prompt may have been a little on the lame-dash-O side... I'm sorry I annoyed you with my idea. Please resume the regularly scheduled fun tommorrow. Thank you.
Not at all, it was about time for me, I came up with my idea quickly, but didn't have time to enter during the week, then it was literally perfect weather the entire weekend, so I didn't want to spend it on the computer. So that's why my entry was last minute mailed in.
I enjoyed it too, ST, and had several ideas for it, but decided to write Ryan because I was afrad we'd be awash in Andy essays.
The only thing that was lame was my lack of inspiration. It was a great prompt, which I promptly pooch-screwed.
Aw gee whiz guys, that's awful swell of you guys to say.
Speaking of pooch-screwing, all I needed to use was some random, ordinary last name and I accidentally used Bratton, Creed's last name. Here was my train of thought...
Okay, last name, last name... Smith? Too plain... Sam..Sim..Simpson? No...Brown..Bron..Bronson? No... Bransan..Bratton? Yeah, that's sounds okay.
Duh.

I echo this, ST. I am lame-O. Not your prompt. I was also worried that we'd be awash in Andy essays, so I chucked my first idea as well.
Thank you, also, whoever removed the sticky from Week #5. Could we also get someone to close up Week #6? Danka!
Can there be stage directions for a scene that does not have an accompanying video?
Gang, we edited the stage directions stuff out of the prompt. Don't worry about that now. The original parameter wasn't exactly what was intended, but an adjustment would make it more confusing than it's worth. Cool?
I missed last weekend's deadline because I was camping in Vermont... No computer in the woods.
BUT, I missed this week's because I was watching the final episode of The Soprano's after months of watching the entire series through Netflix. After 6 seasons of amazing writing, you think they could have made the last episode at least worth me missing the NA writing deadline... they didn't.
In the wise words of Tony Soprano: "What're you gonna do?"
gb, you better cut it out or we're going to have to come up with the Early Bird award for you or something.
Limonada, Anque & Brian: This is my first contest and I admit I've been slacking heavily recently, but I just wanted to say what an amazing job I think you guys are doing on the CPC (I originally typed PCP). :-) The organization of it all seems to be a lot of work and I recognize your efforts. We also have amazing prizes (and they keep getting better!) and the occasional flub is handled with kindness. I just wanted you guys to know that everything you're doing is appreciated once.

I am what I am.
That's Popeye.
Also, what Madge said.
Thanks Madge. The ladies deserve most of the credit, though. I mostly just hang around and do manly stuff, like curl dumbells, spit chaw and look pretty.
Kudos to Brian...king of the party planning committee!

The Christmas tree lights were lemonade's idea.
