Okay, this is something I've been meaning to do for a while, and since this is a time when I think we could probably use some lightening up, I'm going to do it now.

I just happen to have acquired an extra copy of Sinbad (the more or less official RinkMovie) and, since I'm such a great Supreme Dictator, I've decided to give it to a Rinky-Dink.

But, since I don't encourage slackitude among my subjects (that's a commie attitude), you're going to have to work a bit for this one. The rules are simple: submit an original creative work, in a medium of your choosing, that praises either myself, my co-Supreme Dictatoress (the lovely Mia, for those not in the know) or both of us.

Entries will be judged on creativity, coolness and how good a job they do at sucking up. Basically, Mia and I can pick whatever we want to win for any reason we want, so no complaining if you don't win. It's just because we don't like you, probably. In the event of a split between Mia and me, Radebur will cast the tie-breaking vote.

A few ground rules: I'm not going to spend my entire life judging this, so no more than 3 entries per person. You can enter in any medium that you can e-mail me or post to the forum -- the more creative you get, the better, though I could also see a text entry winning. So no biggie. All entries become *MY* property, so don't enter anything you don't want me showing around to other people and probably mocking.

The copy of Sinbad is a pre-owned VHS tape I got off eBay, but it seems to be in pretty good condition. It's in NTSC format, so if you're in anywhere that's not America it may not play right. I'll pay the shipping, but if it's going outside of North America it may take a while.

I think that's about it... Any questions, contact me (skeller64@home.com).

Oh yeah, the deadline for entry is Monday, September 24 at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (aka real time). That gives you a week. GET TO IT!
