This fuschia is bright. This fuschia is orange.

This was the first ever Saturday Showcase, which encompassed the first two weeks of the Megazine Letters board's life on The Vegetable Revolution. EvilTong's letter won by a storm, with a whopping 15 votes, due to it being topical, and an attack on a relative 'newbie' (admittedly he did deserve it...)...... both Jingle (assisted by Dilbert, or its lack thereof) and Lilac Leopard (I doubt she'll ever like Busted) lost out, with two votes each.

'ZINE ILLUSIONIST

With all these so-called illusionists around these days, such as David Blaine in his own little box (and own little world), 'Zine should have its own illusionist, to keep up the trend.

My idea - maybe Spiky Stuy could disappear up his own backside?

Oh wait, he already has.

Evil Tongs

What can I say to that?
HO, HO, HO

This fuschia is bright. This fuschia is orange.

Saturday Showcase Number 2: roughly the same amount of people voted in this one, and we hit our first technical hitch. However, there was a clear winner again this week - Caged Liberty's rubbish letter - not literally of course, I'm talking in terms of the content - won with 8 votes (see the post bottom). Yet again, there was a 5 vote tie for second place - Pablo Marmite returned the pilchards to 'Zine, while Big Bob Flapper pondered over Skippy's true motives...

RUBBISH

My room has reached a certain extreme level of untidyness. This of course just shows that I'm an absent minded genius. One day this will be realised.

But to my point. Today after unwrapping a lollipop (cherry flavour), without thinking I placed the wrapper down carefully on my floor.

It might be untidy but at least I don't abuse my rubbish. Or something.

Caged Liberty

Well, if it
KEEPS THE RATS HAPPY...

A footnote about the technical hitch: if you have a gander at the voters, you may notice that there is an invisible voter for Caged Liberty... this vote was mine, but went to the wrong person. (Yes folks, I can break anything!) This has been accounted for in the amount of votes given to each person above.

This fuschia is bright. This fuschia is orange.

This week saw the introduction of a new rule: the winner of the previous week also gets a nomination! This means that the winning slice is taken from a larger loaf, or more simply, there is extra competition.

The Marmite (if you hate it) was Lilac Leopard's letter which got her no votes, but she is the first to have been nominated twice for the Saturday Showcase. Not A Trendie Not One Of You Either's poetry made her the butter with two votes; and the jam wasTopper's bad hair day with six votes. However, winning by just one more vote, was Pope Frood, who was - to continue this pointless extended analogy - the Marmite (if you like it) of it all.

THE FROOD FOR POPE

The BBC got yelled at for being anti-catholic by the Daily Mail for "frequently refering to the Pope as frail".

He's, like, 90 and got Parkinsons - what else are they meant to call him?

This fuschia is bright. This fuschia is orange.

The Saturday Showcase goes fourth... - this week, we congratulate Caged Liberty (sans man-slaves) on her second Saturday Showcase win, improving her previous result by this time winning with 9 votes! Another twice-r is Topper (or is it?) who has been runner-up for the second week running... four votes this time, unlucky. Also in the poll were Broken Bubble's call back and DJ Dave (who doesn't live in Random), with two and one vote(s) respectively.

MAN SLAVES

There really is nothing quite like relaxing in a bath full of bubbles, with a glass of something bubbly to match, reading a fantastic novel, with one of my captive man slaves standing by waiting for me to click my fingers should I need their services.

They're particularly useful for holding the book, glass and soap. If they're fortunate, they get to be a footstool later on.

Caged Liberty

Saturday Showcase 5: the voting was mega-screwed up. Final count-up however, shown the following: Caged Liberty won (9), making a hat-trick of wins. Lilac Leopard didn't (6), making a hat-trick of almost-wins. Farmer Jack lost also (5), as did The One With Little Significance (1).

CAGED LIBERTY Be a darling and fetch me a cup of coffee please. Irish. Davord!

This fuschia is bright. This fuschia is orange.

And Saturday Showcase 6 had only three nominees. Voting also started and ended a day late. Yet again, an anti-Spiky Stuy letter won, thanks to the 5 votes given to Little Blue Fox. Runners up, both with three votes each, Apologetic Breadstick's llamas and Big Bob Flapper's Noel Edmunds lustings.

LITTLE BLUE FOX Listening to Spiky Stuy talking about himself again is like having an enema, but with Super Noodles instead of water What a lovely image right before I have my lunch

This fuschia is bright. This fuschia is orange.

SS7 (for some reason that looks familiar...) - back to four nominees. This week's Wooden Spoon was thrice winner Caged Liberty, with a slightly plagiarised letter that got a single vote... Satan's Rubber Duck's slightly obvious point came third with two votes... Gnuffo1 achieved four votes with his antics with the postman... but this week's winner was Elusive Moose, with a letter to all ri:se for! It got 8 votes.
RI:SE

I cannot believe Channel 4 is getting rid of the amazingness that is RI:SE. Come on, people talking random rubbish and taking the mick out of anything and everything, how can it be flawed? It's like the broadcasted version of 'Zine.

However, there's always the difference that is Kate Lawler dragging the whole standard of things down and thinking she's God's gift. Oh wait, we have Gothbabe.

Get your Antlers on

The return of Saturday Showcase saw the first Saturday Showcase with all three nominations being non-(regular)VRers. The people who came joint third were Hp Baaxter with his simple, yet amusing letter about Ken, oops, sorry, Mr. Fanplastic himself, Peter Andre, which got three votes along with The Suited Stranger, who spoke of summer. However, we also saw the first win of a non-VRer, Clive Eats Alligators, which is a slightly dissappointing result for this (not so exciting) return of Saturday Showcase.

That's because it was kept locked and was only for ML workers to post in. I also believe it was unstickied as it wasn't being used?

You! Me! Milkshakes!

Alan won the SaturdayShowcase: Reloaded in May 2005.
He got 7 out of 14 votes.
Well done!

RADIO
I suppose I won't be getting a shout out on hospital radio.

It's a pity. My dream has always been to have my pseudonym twittered out in an inane fashion to some coma victims. I suppose that shall never come to pass, unless my letter to Jimmy Saville comes through.
He never fixed it for me.

Rayanne Graff: His name is George. Also, he started Spam.

Rayanne Graff: i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.

the doc: Wow, a proper old head

Rayanne Graff: Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.

satansrubberduck: I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.

Rayanne Graff: No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.

satansrubberduck: Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.

satansrubberduck: Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.

Claire: It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...

I Cunt Spell: YOU'RE ALL OLD
