The Write-Your-Own-Verse-To-Moron Competition
Click here for the entries.
The Competition Is Over
Please note that this competition is very much over. The winner was Wes Weir for his multiple great entries. I'm too embarrassed by this stage as I promised him many years ago that I'd send him something, and I can't quite make myself bring it up again. Wes, if you read this and will let me, send me your address!
I have left the rest of this page here for posterity, and I'll always take late verses and pop them up here.
The Idea
Well, this is my attempt at a competition. I know I'll get no entries,
but damn it, I'm starting it up anyway. It's a very simple concept. Simply write a
new verse to Moron. Maybe if we get this on-line recording thing going, we can
record a version with new verses. But I'm getting ahead of myself...
The Rules
1) Ideally it should satisfy these four simple points:
1.1) First three lines should rhyme.
1.2) And have 7 syllables. This one's flexible as the song itself breaks this rule.
1.3) Last line should be "Why are you a moron?" or something similar.
1.4) It should rip on something that you hate, or someone that is a moron.
2) My decision is final. Unless I can get the band members to judge the comp for me.
3) You may enter as many times as you like, but please be original and you'll have more chance
of winning.
The Examples
Here are two examples, first a verse from the song, and second, one of my own which is a
modern adaptation of the first (which also rips off Brat In The Frat... OK, so I'm not feeling
original today). I'll list all the entries at the end.
Hangin' out in the commode
Listenin' to Depeche Mode
You look like some kind of toad
Why are you a moron?

Hangin' out listening to Creed
Surely it makes your ears bleed
Hope you don't decide to breed
Why are you a moron?

You get the idea. I hope yours are better than mine.
The Prizes?
Hover bikes! Or something. I have a lot of rare stuff that someone might want.
For those who have everything, I'll try work something out, but you might just want to
have a shot and get in the spirit of the thing anyway. And of course, you win respect
from your peers, and the immortality that recognition on this site will grant you. ;)
