Hey! It was all Rev's idea (although Sharon supervised). :evilgrin:

Enjoy this Countdown-inspired Tahoe "ad."

1. Great job, DG
Now you'll have to get Crispi to e-mail this one to KO, too -- or get over your e-mailing Keithophobia.

2. you're evil
I like that. How long does it take to make one of these, anyway?

3. Depends
What's your theme & storyline? It took about an hour to knock out this one because I had to keep changing the storyline (not enough space DAMMIT, so buh-bye references to showers & falafels--that waterfall scene is PERFECT for that :cry: ). The first KOEB one took under 30 minutes because of all the posting & shopping & voting on the ties, so that one practically wrote itself. :)

7. I've just made one
and allegedly emailed it to myself, although it hasn't arrived yet. Are you submitting yours? Is that how they're linkable?

8. Sounds like you've got the same problem I had
I assume it got entered, but I never got the e-mail to get the link.

4. My daughter and I wrote one in about 15 minutes or less
Unfortunately, the link never came to my e-mail so I haven't been able to post it.

5. You were writing a real ad
& I was fooling around with what I had to make it fit. :) I think with all the goof ads being entered, you stand a good chance of winning! :bounce:

6. Well, there were a lot of goofy ads frm DUers, but I'll bet there
were a lot of other real ones from non-DUers who weren't trying to make a point.

9. Aw, you guys, this is great.
You know what makes them all the funnier? This music they put behind the ad...it reminds me of "Mambo #5" or something. Somehow it just adds to the humor of the ad.

15. Actually, you have your choice of tracks
this particular one (as annoying as it's getting to me since I've heard it a brazillion times now) changes when my storyline does, so it was a better "fit" than the others.

17. two ads from me
Edited on Mon Apr-03-06 07:47 AM by gkhouston
(with thanks to Wolfie, who PM'ed me the links. I have no idea why she got the emails and I still haven't seen them. :shrug:)

(Edited to get the links right. Ladies, when you get your links you can't just take them straight from the PM or email, you need to actually open the ad and snarf the URL off of that. Otherwise, you get a message saying the ad is loading but nothing else seems to happen. At least that's how it's working for me in Linux-land.)
