I had this idea of devising a club devoted wholly to my blog's guardian/mascot/møøse, Humphrey. Accordingly, I have followed through with this idea, and am pleased to present Sodalitas Humphreibus*, the Internet's first exclusively møøse-oriented club**. Members have the right to bother me via PM***, the privilege of having their names listed in a rather spiffy list, and best of all, free møøse plushies like this one! **** I have of course immortalized this society in a content block with fancy font to counter the crudity of its MSPaint-generated prototype. Look to the right. To join, post in this entry. Arpy * Because Latin makes it sound more sophisticated. ** Based off the fact that Google reveals nothing when queried. *** On the second Wednesday of each month, those with more than 30 days or eight letters excluded. **** Props to Shine for making transparent. Original Date: 10"24"07

First off, kindly consider voting for me if you have not done so. If in fact you voted for someone else, put on some sackcloth and ashes. So, quite a good contest this time around. Not a whole lot of entries, but not so few that there was no question as to who would be declared the winner. There were six entries, and…divide by two…no, three… Anyway, I decided to instead follow my standard approach to these sort of things, which is to pit Roomba and Lluvio’s entries against each other in a SUDDEN DEATH SUPER JUSTICE MATCH! owing to their similarity, and then pick another winner or two from the rest of the lot. So, Lluvio vs. Roomba. Entries here were weighed very scientifically, with points given for aesthetic quality, number of memes, and sheer LOLfactor. The other ones, not so much. Aesthetics: Well, Rembrandts these ain’t. But Roomba’s is more sloppily edited, and he didn’t pay special attention to the other people in the photo the way Lluvio did, so Lluvio wins this one. Memetics: Lluvio: Wrink’s old guy, Portal geeking, awesomeface, Bullet Bill, D*/WAAHT, catfly, Marvin, a fishy, a road sign, and that weird little Pokemon thing he used to have as his MSN photo. Roomba: NO U, Weegee, awesomeface eyes, The Biting Pear of Salamanca (In Spanish, no less!), :3, Yo Dawg, All Your Base, FSM, a real live mudkip, shameless pandering to my Christian faith, and the Shooping of transparent orange chainsaws! Well! Lluvio has the edge here on the more esoteric memes peculiar only to small portions of the internet. Only the awesomeface (and perhaps Portal geeking) is widely seen outside of BZP and our MSN convos. But who says uncommon is good? Give me the mainstream stuff! Roomba wins this round. LOLfactor: I did indeed laugh out loud when I first saw Lluvio’s entry. After that, Roomba’s just comes across as a tawdry imitation. Sorry, man, but Lluvio WINS! 2nd place, that is. And a plushie. Roomba, we have a fake real Oscar statuette for you in the Losers' Lounge. And now, the other contestants: Xccj: What is that pink tubelike thing? And why are we clustered around it? Why is Roa’s Bugblatter Beast seeking vengeance? And why isn’t it Shubiduwahp sneaking up behind me instead, since he has a better reason? An interesting entry, but I’m afraid there are just too many unanswered questions. It reads like one panel of a comic strip. Incidentally, the Losers' Lounge has a wide selection of Pearls Before Swine comics. Master of Ice and Sonic: Yours was one of the simpler entries, but there is often great value in simplicity. Putting me in Darth Vader’s suit was an interesting move, and you chose your photo of me well. The transparent orange chainsaw Flair looks a little out of place, but it’s the thought that counts. Creeped out as I am by the implications of me in Vader’s suit and my freakishly long neck, I’m going to give you the plushie and 3rd place in the hopes that your entry will stop haunting my every waking moment. Bfahome: Excellent choice of photo, and the background ain’t too shabby either. My gripes are two: First, the caption at the top covers my forehead. Second, the chainsaw. It’s puny. If I’m going to be all badbumical with explosions and shades coming up behind me, I’m going to want a larger weapon. Cags’s chainsaws are a good example. Good entry, but not good enough. Take a seat in the Losers' Lounge and enjoy your complimentary chocolate milk. Cags: I debated long and hard whether to include your photo, but despite the fact that it flaunts all the rules, I’m going to award you 1st place and the plushie for just that, and especially for doing it with such a fine photo of Steve Witt. The transparent orange chainsaws are just icing on the cake. Which is a lie, but you probably thought that just as you saw the word ‘cake.’ Congratulations to our winners, consolations to our losers, and thank you for entering! Winners, your plushies will be PMed to you, where you can distribute them as you see fit. Losers, you can probably get the plushies anyway by scouring the BZblagosphere.

THE END IS NIGH LETAGI, YOU'D BETTER ENTER Salutations, loyal møøse-followers! The heavenly clouds of Møøsistan have parted and belched forth another bloggish contest, mostly because Letagi kept bugging them to do so. Obligatory Greek symbol: θ. Now find it. Your most noble quest this time (yes, it really is a quest of sorts) is to find a picture of me (Arpy/Ean) on the interwebs and edit it. Photoshop, Paint, GIMP, whatever. Flood the picture with memes, put a trans orange chainsaw in my hand, photoshop "We Do Not Have Zoom Imagery at This Level" into my eyes, or use your imagination. You control the action! The winner(s?) will be the first to get another new møøse plushie. These are the rules: * Post your entry here. * The deadline for entries is Februrary 20th at midnight. Use your own time zone. You control the action! * One entry per person. * You must be a Sodality member to join, so post this entry. Oh, and Maj, Flickr, and Brickcon photos are good places to start questing. Extremely enterprising and tricksy hobbitses might even Google my full name. Not that you'll find more that one picture. Now go! Humphrey compels you! BYAAAAHH!!

The winners for Sodalitas Humphreibus Caption Contest Beta are: 1. Teebert: "...And if it's not, just pretend it is." 2. Bfahome: "Now with a rich caramel center!" 3. Shine: "We find your lack of møøse...disturbing." So I took a teensy bit of artistic licence. Sue me. The winners will get to flaunt the new Møøse in Black plushie for an indeterminate length of time, defined as the period between now and whene'er I authorize it for general consumption. ( ( Primus ) ) can have it as well for making this blog's 1000th comment. May the Møøse be with you. EDITSPLOSION: Incidentally...

AWESOME IMAGE/TEXT WIZARDRY GOES HERE SOMETIME OOOOOVER THE RAINBOW That's right, it's another tangentially møøse-themed blog contest! This time around, your task is to come up with no more than three (3) subtitles for my blog. They must be BZP-appropriate, etc., etc., and yes, you can enter fewer than three if so desired. Three (3) entries will be chosen from all those submitted, to be cycled through my blog's subtitle field for an indeterminant period of time. The contest host (Hereinafter, Arpy) reserves the right to choose more or fewer winners if he so desires. Entries stand a greater chance of being selected if they are relevant to my interests (see my profile or blog for ideas), are just plain funny, or devastatingly witty, or--actually, it's pointless to say anything has a greater chance of being selected, given my predilections toward nonconformity and unpredictability. Just go to it, and good luck. Entry format should be numbered like so, with the sumissions in quotation marks: 1: 2: 3: But I won't be fussy about this as long as it's clear which are the submissions and which are the questions, rants, threats, etc. The prize will be an awesome møøse plushie edit, to be created later. Contest ends sometime May 2, 2008. Remember, you must be a Sodality member to enter, so if you aren't, sign up now!

Aethisyl and Bundalings the Bunny are our two winners of the first-ever Sodalitas Humphreibus contest! Each chosen by our esteemed judges (myself and Roa McToa), they will receive a place of honor in the Sodalitas Humphreibus content block. Everyone else tied for second place. Roa let me examine her self-MOC. I made the suggestion that black Viking horns would have been better for her self-MOC's claws, and someone snapped her in the act of making what I'm pretty sure is her "They make black Viking horns??!?" face. Another excellent caption would have been this: Arpy

SODALITAS HUMPHREIBUS CAPTION CONTEST ALPHA Since I now have a blog club, it follows that I should have a blog contest. Your task is to create a caption or captions for this picture: L to R: Me holding Roa's self-MOC, Unknown Kid, Roa, kopakanui. Captions can be submitted in text format or edited into the photo, both are equally acceptable and the format will have no impact on judging. Entries will be judged solely on the amount of funniness in the entry, and the proud winner will get a place of honor in the Sodalitas Humphreibus content block. Remember, you must be a Sodality Member to enter, so sign up now! Arpy
