CONTEST TO SUGGEST PRIZES FOR THE EXISTENTIAL CONTEST Compete to suggest the best prize for the contest to reinterpret the great existential masters! Submit your own prize suggestion and win a prize for suggesting the best prize! [win what?] Submissions so far: Eternal bliss, unlimited ignorance and neverending happiness. An American sandwich: Two luxurious slices of Wonderbread
slathered in mouthwatering I Can't Believe It's Not Butter encase one
slice each of deep-fried Spam and Treet, covered with a mountain of melted
Velveeta cheese. The sandwich is then deep-fried to perfection and served
to your face via a high-velocity projectile. Grand prize: a year's free supply of fear and trembling. A date with you? To live a life of endless addiction untill you die of the
hallucination of A pocketful of nausea. A loaned set of the written works of Brother Void, until
the winner negotiates past those niggling little suicidal tendencies. An Indulgence. (One of those free passes the Pope used to
sell to replenish coffers reserved for families of Inquisition victims
who were later proven by DNA testing to be innocent.) How about a t-shirt that reads: "I conquered the Abyss
and all Brother Void gave me was this lousy t-shirt!" I would like to win: The opportunity to publicize all my
neurotic thought processes not so much for fame/profit but for the guaranteed
redemption of my identity, not as a neurotic, but as a genius caged in
an unimpressible society. Two left feet -- to avoid deviation from the path. [top]
