Shadows Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Announcing the highly anticipated first annual (and half a day late in some places, but who's counting?): "What does your April Fool do for a living?" CONTEST! It's April, no foolin', and here at Eurobricks we take April seriously, so seriously that we want you to make us laugh foolishly. What better way to do that then to get you to build vignettes of your own personal fool, doing whatever it is he does for a living on this first day of April. Do I even need to mention that the CRAZIER the entry, the better? Well fine, I'll mention it. The CRAZIER the better! What's in it for you? Well, that's a surprise, but be assured, we wouldn't think of trying to fool you. What kind of way would that be to start our very favourite month of April? Entries must contain at least one minifig doing something you'd never expect a jester to do for a day job, but definitely something CRAZY. Have I mentioned that it must be CRAZY? CRAZY! The rules: Build something CRAZY depicting what the jester does for a living when not jesting! MAKE IT CRAZY! Then write a caption for it. A CRAZY CAPTION! Or a whole CRAZY story! Then post it here in this thread. THIS CRAZY THREAD! Use all the parts you want. Use all the space you want. Use Belville, if you want! WE DON'T CARE, AS LONG AS IT'S A CRAZY JOB! Seriously, if you want to win the coveted and undisclosed prize, you've got to impress the judges that you've absolutely lost your mind. They've already lost theirs, so appeal to their inner jester and you could be the winner! Get building, if you don't enter, the joke is on you. What? How long do you have? WE'RE NOT TELLING! THAT'S HOW CRAZY THIS IS! I'd hurry, if I were you, we're just CRAZY enough to end this soon!
Dragonator Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Man Shadows, you're CRAZY! This sounds like CRAZY fun, perhaps one of my multiply personalities will want to take part. I do! That is, anyone other than Majiko; you're probably a bit too CRAZY, even for this... So, just to get this clear, we are showing our April Fools jester in his normal CRAZY job, not pulling a CRAZY prank? And no CRAZY rules on use of customs, size etcetc blah blah blah? Sounds sweet. CRAZY sweet.
Shadows Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Man Shadows, you're CRAZY! There's a newsflash. So, just to get this clear, we are showing our April Fools jester in his normal CRAZY job, not pulling a CRAZY prank? And no CRAZY rules on use of customs, size etcetc blah blah blah? Sounds sweet. CRAZY sweet. Exactly! Show what the jester does when he's not being a jester, and GO CRAZY in the process! Customs, 10,000 pieces, Galidor, WHATEVER!

Captain Zuloo Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Nice contest IS, if I don't enter, I'll certainly follow it. Cool CRAZY (Edit by Dragonator) idea!
Brickthing Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Another question ( ) : Can I write a couple paragraph story instead of a caption? My MOC already has lots going on.
Dragonator Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Cool idea! No no, I think the phrase you were looking for is: CRAZY idea!!!
Zorro Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 That one looks awesome already! I hope more entries will follow!
Shadows Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Can I write a couple paragraph story instead of a caption? My MOC already has lots going on. I don't know, CAN you? YES! GO CRAZY! (how many more times must I say it???) green dewback: It's definitely creative and interesting, but what exactly is his occupation in that? Future internet video star? THAT'S CRAZY! No no, I think the phrase you were looking for is:CRAZY idea!!! Somehow, I knew this was one promotion you'd definitely get in the spirit of ...
pesgores Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 This isn't CRAZY, but very realistic. The minifig is CRAZY, not the vignette. Can't think of CRAZY stuff now.
green dewback Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) green dewback: It's definitely creative and interesting, but what exactly is his occupation in that? Future internet video The Jester is on a quest to bring laughter to every minifig in Legoworld, but unfortunately the Bounty Hunters doesn't appreciate his humor. Boba Fett is a Youtube addict and Greedo is a psychopath killer. Edited April 1, 2009 by green dewback
Erdbeereis Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Haha! This looks CRAZY! I'll try to put something together.
The Penguin Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Well, here's my entry, gentlemen! ) I think that the most CRAZY thing a jester could do is working in Gotham for the Joker! ) And some other views: Hope you'll like it! ) Good day, gentlemen! )
Matn Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 That green hair for the Joker is very cool, nice entry! My entry: Crazycrazycrazy!- Crazy you say?
WhiteFang Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Well, here's my entry, gentlemen! ) I think that the most CRAZY thing a jester could do is working in Gotham for the Joker! ) Penguin, nice entry! This is certainly one of your beloved style to shared your love for Batman theme, for doing it in such a creative manner. It give me a good laugh, and I see how bad the Jester is trying to run away from Batman while the other two is hiding at the back, laughing off their tails. My entry: Crazycrazycrazy!- Crazy you say? Superb simple depiciton of the jester hearing things at the 4 corners of the wall. Is he stuck in the asylum? Nice piece of work!
CP5670 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Man, I have a great idea for this, but I have no time to build and take pictures of the stuff today. Edited April 1, 2009 by CP5670
WhiteFang Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Man, I have a great idea for this, but I have no time to build and take pictures of the stuff today. Try and find a little bit of time to participate in this contest. I am interested to discover your crazy idea! Hope to see your entry very soon.
