The Whisper Contest

.

A few weeks ago I started a meme called Whisper. Now it’s time to hold the contest based on the meme.

This is how it works. I read through all the memes that were posted by those who chose to do it and found the following phrase.

He came from the bathroom, a plunger in one hand and a tool chest in the other.

Your job is to find which meme has that phrase and leave a comment. I will put your name in the drawing once for leaving a comment on the correct post and a second time if you leave comments on all the other posts as well. The prize is a $20 gift certificate.

The winner will be announced here on June 23rd.

For your convenience I’ve put together the original meme and all those who did it:

We’re playing Telephone again. From now on I’m going to call it “Whisper.”

What you do is make a change in the paragraph below. It can be as little as a single word or almost every word, so long as we can still recognize the paragraph you received. I’m talking about the one in the blog of the person who tagged you, not the original paragraph. Link to the original paragraph at http://aliceaudrey.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/Whisper. Tag three people. Link to those three people plus the person who tagged you. Don’t forget to link to the person who tagged you so the chain will not be broken! Go to the original paragraph and let Alice know you did it. She will link to you. Include these instructions in your post. On June 9th go visit http://AliceAudrey.wordpress.com for instructions on how to win the $20 gift certificate.

Here’s your paragraph:

He came from nowhere, a gun in one hand and a flower in the other. His name was Ricardo, but she’d always called him Clem. She said she liked his deep, brown eyes. Instead of thanking her he took her watch and her left shoe, and ran off with Merry D.

It’s still possible to do this meme, though new links will not be included in the contest. Simply tell me you did it, and I will add you to the original list.

To people from Contest Alley, Contest Guide, and Contest Blogger, welcome.

You may have noticed a box of Girl Scout cookies at the top of this post. Let me know if you’d like to be included in the next round of Whisper and I will put your name in a drawing for the Thin Mints.
