  • Halloween Contest - Update

    Me so sad. Me not get even a single entry into the contest. Me shuffling around with my chin on my chest, over-indulging on Halloween candy corns.



    Halloween is a lot of fun here on Thunder Row, so we're going to try and make it MORE SO this time around.

    I still have ONE promo CD copy of Lane Baldwin's THE VIEW FROM HERE, autographed by Lane and everythang!

    We're gonna give it away in the next couple of weeks to the person who submits the funniest (or scariest) Halloween themed video, poem, or lyrics (in the "sung to the tune of" style).

    You don't even have to be a member of the Row to participate. Here's how it's gonna go.

    You have to EMAIL the lyrics, poem, or video to me. DO NOT POST ANYTHING ON THE ROW. I'm going to feature the submissions ANONYMOUSLY and then we're gonna have a vote! When the winner is chosen, we will reveal the name and heap congratulations on that person.

    The Thunder Row forum allows for 10 submissions in the voting box, so we can take up to ten entries per poll. Should we get more than than, we'll feature two polls - and you can skip one and go to the other if your fave entry appears there.

    In the case of videos, it has to be your own band's work - don't just submit a copy of Michael Jackson's THRILLER or something. Heh, heh.

    Poems and song lyrics must also be originals. In the case of lyrics, make sure you say which song the words are supposed to be sung to.

    So let's get busy and start submitting. Email your stuff to elmeaux@thelearningdock.com. Open to EVERYBODY! In your submission, include the work itself, and let me know if you are a TR/TMBG member, or one of our valued Guests. If you're a member, you can also submit through PMs.

    As we await submissions, here is an original song/video by our own David Crossman a few years back. Enjoy, and get to work!



    Contest endorsed by Ralph, our Guest Judge this year.

      I told him that if he didn't let me, I'd post the picture of him hiding in Ashley's dressing room.

      Frankly, I think the trouble is that you're intimidating, Elmeaux. You're so creative - and all the stuff you do is to imaginative, you've set the bar too high! Don't be discouraged, be patient with us. Meantime, go easy on the candy corn! (You're much appreciated!)

      Halloween Rap - by Elmeaux

      I ain't so special, just a face in the CROWD
      Okay, sometimes I KNOW that I talk too LOUD!

      (HEY!)

      This is Halloween, it's supposed to be SCARY
      Monsters in my closet are so big and HAIRY!

      All I really need is a rhyme of FRIGHT
      Something weird and creepy - get me through the NIGHT!

      (HEY!)

      Gimme spiders and snakies, toads and RATS
      Gimme words to conjure up all the ghouls and BATS!

      A poem to excite me, something big and BOLD
      What? Now something just BIT me and I feel so COLD!

      (HEY!)

      Won't you gimme something? Get the place all HAUNTED!
      Write me a verse; yeah, it's all I WANT!

      There once was a witch and a ghoul
      (They don’t co-exist, as a rule)
      But on Halloween night
      To avoid being frightened
      They find that to cuddle is cool.
