QuillSpirations #1 ... CONTEST (10 SBI - and Great Prestige)

in #contest5 years ago

Have you ever sat in front of your computer and wondered, "What the Hell am I going to post about today?" Your mind searches for great ideas, but is willing to settle for something "not terrible." Something funny, poignant or inspirational. Perhaps something intriguing or insightful. 

Something that elevates you in the eyes of your peers.

Arrgh ... you've got nothin.'

Alright then, how about something ... stupid?

"Hmmm ... I can do stupid." 

Et voila! 

I've come up with an idea that is so utterly ridiculous that I may have stumbled ass-backwards into brilliance (I'm not betting the farm) - and guess what ... I'm going to drag your ass, into that my morass.

QuillSpirations

On many Discord Channels, there's a digital tool of dubious utility called @InspiroBot. In a nutshell, you type in " 'q " (without the outside quotation marks) and a computer algorithm returns a random picture, overlaid by a manufactured quote ... which sounds like something the Oracle of Delphi would say if said oracle was on acid.

Anyway, when my creativity is at its nadir, here's what I do.

I head on over to the Power House Creatives' Discord Channel, type " 'q " in the comment bar ... and then compose a comment that attempts to interpret the InspiroBot quote in a way that sounds pithy and profound, and if I'm truly on fire ... inspirational. Using genetic code to do what the computer code is trying so hard not to do.

And hence a QuillSpiration is born ... a gift to my fellow PHC members. 

In essence ... bullshitting as art.

And so, I thought, what if I could share my gift? What if I could inspire you, too, to become absolutely full of it?

"Well, if Quill jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?"
"Yes, mother ... I would. He's a genius."

OK, below are the three InspiroBot Quotes I received and my attempts to turn them into QuillSpirations:

InspiroBot Quote #1:

QuillSpiration #1: 

Well, 'Murder’s' a word ... it's use oft absurd
All things have place and a time,
They drove us insane, became they a bane,
And now ... are dead all the Mimes.


InspiroBot Quote #2:

QuillSpiration #2:

Feelings are shit
... So use it your wit.


InspiroBot Quote #3:

QuillSpiration #3:

Imagine that you're polite, sane, and extravagantly, tumultuously fantastic.
Now drop the superlatives ... and strive not to be an asshole.

The QuillSpiration Contest

So, here's what you're going to do:

  1. Type " 'q " (without the outside quote marks) into the comment bar on any Discord Channel with InspiroBot, or alternatively, go to InspiroBot's Discord Channel, click the "#general" tab and type " 'q " (again, without the outside quotation marks). 
  2.  Copy-paste the InspiroBot Quote you receive into the comments section of this post;
  3. Interpret away. You have wide latitude in both style and substance.
  4. In your comment, tag someone who you hope likes you ... I need participants.
  5. Upvote this post at 100% ... I'm trying to break even.
  6. Go to any live post by @jaynie and leave the following comment, "Happy 50th Birthday." Feel free to add graphics/video if you like. Drop a link to said post in your comment on this one.
  7. Honor-Code: Some of the InspiroBot Quotes are more asinine than others. The odd one is actually pretty good. You take what you get. No going back to the well over and over again until you get quotes that you like. I will take into account "difficulty" and will be suspicious of quotes that sound to good to be true.
  8. You may leave up to three InspiroBot Quotes/QuillSpirations in your comment. Each will be judged separately and upon its own merits.
  9. I will judge all QuillSpirations to determine who's the biggest bullshitter on the blockchain. 
  10. 1st Place Winner: 5 SBI >>> 2nd Place Winner: 3 SBI >>> 3rd Place Winner: 1 SBI
  11. There will also be a 1 SBI Mystery Prize Winner. The point of this prize is to build mystery and suspense: "What will Quill do? What criteria will he use to bestow such a prestigious honor? God, I so desperately WANT to WIN that mysterious Mystery Prize. I bet I'd become famous and fabulously wealthy." Hint: 'Sappy Mirthday ... Laynie.'"

*****

So there you have it, big money for big baloney.

Good luck and may the biggest bullshitter win.

I am definitely an eccentric individual and do not follow the herd. That has led me to being somewhat of a 'Black Sheep' of the family, but hey... I am definitely happy and don't mind so much being different! Many thanks to Inspirobot for giving me an easier one! 🤪

Come and play with us, @traciyork 😁

...and birthday greetings to @jaynie:

hahahaha Brilliant @thekittygirl!!!!! xxx and yes come come @traciyork!

@thekittygirl,

That actually sounded ... halfway profound. :-)

Great QuillSpiration.

Absolutely in. I love working with them bots. Hot last days of spring.

Funny. I'll definitely give it a try tomorrow.

Drugstore is a professional term for "in the middle of nowhere".

Drugstore, yes - it helps beat the bore.
Pops that blister in a pack and puts you on a new track.
Pro or layman, "nowhere" is a good place to find,
whilst you lose your mind.

Oh... and NO I will NOT be wishing my pretty 39yr old arse a happy 50th ;) hehehehe

Great idea @quilllfire xxx

oh and wakey wakey @zord189...
TAG You're it!

@jaynie,

Hi Jaynie.

Today is Father's Day and Katie and I went down to the beach for lunch. While there, she was laughing about my post and filled me in on the latest young folks lingo ... which, in retrospect, explains a lot.

50 ... is the new 39!

No one tells me anything ... I did not know that. Here I thought you were just in denial and in need of an intervention. But now I know what "39" actually means ... metaphorically ... in all makes sense. So, now that I'm clued in, let me wish you a Happy "39th" Birthday.

BTW, did you know that I'm ... "William Shakespeare?"

Great QuillSpiration. :-)

Love ya, darling. :-)

@blueeyes8960 do you want to play?

hahaha well played!

@blueeyes8960,

Hmmm ... are they inferring that Sea Captains aren't persistent? I'm willing to bet some of those rat-eating, sailing-off-the-end-of-the-Earth early explorers would have begged to differ. And what about pirates? I don't recall reading that Black Beard lacked stick-with-it-ness. "Give me your earrings or I'll cut your throat" ... well, I suppose that's actually "insistent." Food for thought. :-)

Great QuillSpiration.

Sometimes InspirotBot just loses its mind and it becomes difficult to guess who is more harsh, You or InspiroBot ;)
Your 6th requirement is really hilarious.

@bluemist,

Hey Blue.

That 6th requirement ... let's hope that really takes off. As I've written before, if I'm not in trouble with some woman for some thing, my world feels off kilter. Lately, I seem to have hit a dry spell so I need to re-establish a sense of balance. :-)

Quill

Okay, I'm not going to do the birthday thing. I have moral objections to it. But I'll resteem this post and tag @SteveR82. I think he likes me, but you never know. These uncontrollable artists are so unpredictable. And just in case he doesn't like me, I'll tag @blueeyes8960. She'll at least pretend to like me.

@blockurator,

"Behind every uncontrollable junkie ...
there's an uncontrollable artist (who writes Free Verse).

Quill

Probably avant garde.

I am just here for the prestige.
