Nine of you left then. Nine! Single figures! My underpants are now completely encrusted to my person thanks to the huge amount of sweat my nether regions have produced and which has henceforth evaporated (due entirely to my astonishingly high core temperature - it's the excitement, again) and formed a gluey wallpaper paste-like substance which the knicker elastic is clinging to like a bitch. Oh the imagery. Lovely!
Where was I? Oh yes. Back on the farm with Mary and Keith. Those were the days alright...
Time for me to shut up I think before I get myself into bother.
At ease ladies and worms, and take your positions! Yes, as advertised it's Task Time yet again for all you slackers and it looks like you may actually have to fall back on your imaginations with this one and there shall be no pimping anywhere to be seen thankyou very much (which I'm sure Mr Angry's readers will be very happy to hear). I hope you'll all be able to cope.
Here is your mission should you choose to accept it:
"Big Blogger (or Medium-sized Blogger - take your pick) would like all the housemates to write him a short bedtime story. It can be fiction or non-fiction; it really doesn't matter. But there are some rules:
1. It must have a minimum of 400 words. That's not very many so don't even think about complaining.
2. It must not be longer than 1000 words.
3. The first sentence must contain the phrase "Big Blogger is good".
4. The final sentence must contain the phrase "Big Blogger is bad".
The deadline for this task is Thursday the 5th July at 12 noon. Really."
And yes, even I, The Anointed One, have to write a frigging story for this task. Thanks for those brilliant new rules Mr Bob, you total bastard.
At least I can't get evicted. Oh yeah, that reminds me; the poll's up in the sidebar. Happy voting!
UPDATE: The vote is for who you want to EVICT. Not save. Evict. Evict evict evict evict evict.
Is that clear enough?
BB
Are people voting to keep housemates in, out or halfway out the door?

To get 'em out, as it were. See my updated gubbins for the details, which are exactly the same as what I just wrote..

Somewhat confusing Big/Avergage-sized/Miniscule Blogger - as Bob's 'guidelines' seem to be for a 'keep em in' vote!
I'll just sit on this fence 'til it all unfolds...

I'm flicking beans to do what exactly? I'd hate to evict little baby munchkins by accident.............hee hee hee

And does second or third bottom actually mean second or third top (as we're voting for who we want out, so the most popular housemates will actually be at the 'bottom')?
This is all very confusing.

I think since it's vote to evitct, then the person with the most votes gets saved (second and third highest get booted) and the person with the least votes gets the golden keyboard.

Yes, Bob. You wrote the rules. So the one with the most votes is immune.
And, given I've just looked at the polls, you are pimping again, aren't you?
Bit of a gamble as Mr Angry seems to be doing it too. But I like your style.
Here's a virtual Jack Daniels... ;-)

I think we're all agreed that Bob's rules are very confusing.
Basically, they will work. For example, the bonus 25 points to whoever gets closest to the average votes total will actually have 25 points deducted, taking them further away (rather than closer to) being evicted.
Get it?

We can't wait to read all the bedtime stories!
Like this concept, LOVE all the clever writing.....such inspiration & skill!
Thanks everyone!

Can you just run through that again?
Posted by: Daddy Papersurfer | Wednesday, 04 July 2007 at 07:02
Not pimping at all ... in fact, I'm in Copenhagen and only have sketchy internet access at best. If I'm getting votes this week it's a) backlash from last week or b) people not realizing that the pimpation has ended.
Oooh look, the Little Mermaid is right down the road from my boat. Must go play tourist.

If that (Copenhagen) is your virtual holiday story then you may need to work on it. If not we may have to speak to Geoff about your apparent escape from the compound...
