As many of you know, I am the (cheating) winner of the Christmas Raffle. As such, I have three copies of Episode 2 to give away to three lucky poor ****s who for some reason or another cannot procure Episode 2. Some of you are too young to have Credit Cards; some of you live in horrid, backwater countries that aren’t the beautiful US of A; some of you are just tightwads who can’t spare a little bit of cash to help Evil Trout buy white slaves. I don’t care why you can’t get Episode 2, I just care that you need it.

So, here are the rules. Contestants must:

1. Be Level 35. Sorry to those who aren’t, but getting to Level 35 shows a commitment to the game even though you were denied Episode 2 access. These people, IMO, deserve free copies the most.

2. Not have Episode 2 already. Well, duh. But if you already bought Episode 2, you can’t win a free copy. Easy, right?

3. Here is the challenging part. At heart, I am a writer; I appreciate creativity in all its forms above any other virtue. Therefore, to win this contest you must write a form poem. Villanelle, Haiku, Sonnet, Sestina, Limerick, I don’t care what kind, it just has to be a recognized form.

What are you writing your poems about?

Former MLB utility infielder Alvaro Espinoza: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvaro_Espinoza

Why him? Well, why not? I like him. He played hard, he put bubble gum on other people’s hats, he was a p cool guy.

Judging will be subjective and most likely, in your eyes, unfair. Many of you will be bumhurt about losing, but remember, it’s just a contest, and it doesn’t reflect your worth as a person and yadda yadda. My contest, my rules, alright?
