Operation: Fill in the Lobster Results

We asked you to Fill in the Lobster, and man is that lobster stuffed. There were a ton of entries, many of which were very clever, some of which made reference to other areas of the LRR universe, and some of which disturbed us a little. (It was the rose–so many unconsidered implications…)

Operation: Fill in the Lobster

Operation: Fill in the Lobster

In the end, one caption really made us chuckle, and so we’d like to award the victory in this operation to The Stolker. Here is his entry:

PAUL: What do you mean you can’t finish your mission?
LOBSTER: It’s because I’m in love!
PAUL: Then the communists have won…

We’re also offering Runners Up status to baggins_of_41, King Kool, and sk8sheep24.

sk8sheep24’s Runner Up Entry:

Paul: Ahhh! A talking lobster!
Lobster: Ahhh! A talking human!
Paul: Ahhh! Where?!?!

King Kool’s Runner Up Entry:

Paul: I hope my date isn’t allergic to seafood.
Lobster: So you’re Paul! What are you making?
Paul: Sssssssalads?

Here are some of the other entries that were sent in, including baggins_of_41’s Runner Up entry:

Edit: Thanks to Vigafre and King Kool for whipping up graphical versions of the winning and Runner Up entries which were just text-based! I’ve added those to the gallery.

Operation: Bad Shepherd

In today’s LRR video, “Magicland”, the Li’l Warriors make an appearance and many “squee!” and “chortle!” and “high-larious!” moments are had.

At the end of the Li’l Warriors segment, Krull suggests that there are a variety of interesting things that can be done with the severed head of a sheep. Unfortunately, Magicland’s oh-so-stingy producers got to the footage before it went to air, and they cut Krull off before he could communicate his ideas.

But cutesy, knitted, hardcore, supernatural, medieval villains aren’t the only creative people in the world. The Aztecs were also very clever, as are the Dutch.

Runners, we can’t let these groups get ahead of us in the technological sheep’s head arms race! If you have an idea for what a sheep’s severed head could be used for, let us know!

Send your ideas to operations@loadingreadyrunners.com! Be sure to include your forum name so you can be rewarded if your idea is chosen as the most creative, and so that you can be added to the ranks of the Runners if you aren’t already a member.

Submissions close on September 4, 2009, at midnight PST.

Operation: Accomplished Accomplice Results

Operation: Accomplished Accomplice drew some pretty diverse submissions, but in the end we decided to award the victory to:

Luinie

The thing that really made her entry stand out was the use of a pot lid as a weapon, which is a reference to the LoadingReadyRumble.

We also wanted to offer a Runners-Up designation to Mad Madam Mimm, who provided a short ventriloquism video on the Accomplice theme. Rather than posting the video there, I thought I’d link to her YouTube channel.

Here are the submitted photos:

Thanks for participating, everyone!

Operation: Fill in the Lobster

It’s fun to reinterpret things, isn’t? Taking something that was used in one way and doing something entirely different with it is one of the great triumphs of the human creative mind! Or at least, that’s what my mom told me after I showed her the Sock Hat I made once…

We want you to do something along the same lines. Jer threw together a comic strip-style page using screenshots from the LRR video “Ways to Stay Awake”, and it’s up to you to fill in the blanks!

Here’s the image:

You can edit your text into the image directly, or just send us the words themselves, with directions as to which panel they go in. For example, it might look something like this:

PAUL: I love radishes!

LOBSTER: I love radishes too!

PAUL: We’re best friends forever!

Send your entries to operations@loadingreadyrunners.com by midnight on Friday, August 21. If you’d like to be added to the Runners, be sure to include your forum name with your submission.

Operation: Accomplished Accomplice

In the video posted on LoadingReadyRun.com today, our hidden cameras caught an awkward confrontation between a disgruntled, murderous, yet considerate ex-employee and his intended victim’s mildly annoyed wife.

What you didn’t see was the accomplice we found outside. Naturally, since it was Ken’s first time, he had acquired the help of a friend, someone who claimed to “know the ropes” a bit when it came to exacting economy-driven revenge.

We’re hoping to do a dramatic reenactment of that portion of the evening’s events, so we’re extending an open casting call for people to play the part of the accomplice.

If you’re interested, send us a picture of yourself in your own murder accomplice costume, lurking outside a door or window like a murder accomplice would. The most convincing, creative, entertaining picture will win!

Entries must be in by midnight PST on Friday, August 7, 2009.

Note: The winner will receive a forum medal, not a role in an actual LRR video.
