Most of you freepers are familiar with "Tom Swifties", a one-line word game where the adverb is king! Here are some examples of Tom Swifties:
"I think my foot is broken", said the dancer defeatedly
"Darn, I dropped my toothpaste", said Tom crestfallenly
"I can't find my seat belt", said Tom without restraint.
You get the drift, folks. So welcome to our cruise contest which we have more aptly named "The Tom Freepie Contest".
Rules for the contest are posted below this announcement. Please read them carefully.
Your Tom Freepies MUST be connected to three topics: the Freeps Ahoy cruise, politics or foreign affairs. Quite a range for you to choose from. You may mix or match your Freepies.
Here are some examples to start your creative juices:
"I must find some sea shells in Grand Cayman", Tom clamored
"This cruise ship is leaking", said Tom balefully
"Who is the most wooden man alive?", asked Tom allegorically
"Senator Miller would make a good Republican", said Tom zellously
"I can't believe I ate the whole pineapple", said Tom dolefully
"The Iraq situation is very grave", said the undertaker cryptically
"Egypt is our friend", said Tom, deep in denial
"Arafat looks like a goat", said Ariel Sharon kiddingly
Have at it, Freepers. You all have an equal opportunity to win the big seafaring prize!
"I know you Freeper contestants will come up with flashes of brilliance", sez Dittomom lightheartedly.
