Been awhile since I've hosted a giveaway, but April 6th was my 2 year mark so I thought I would do a little one.

I will keep it simple as always

1. Please State if in for yourself or someone else (only 3 entries total per person will count). If not in still feel free to post and have a good time interacting with others.

2. Game is for the winner, not to be traded or given to someone else.

3. If have an issue with an entrant don't air it in this giveaway. If this giveaway turns into a negative thing I will close it down immediately. I love GOG and the people on this forum, but it gets out of hand often with the negative vibes and that makes me sad so please keep it out of this giveaway.

4. I either want a picture of your fur baby, a funny joke. a beautiful picture that is safe for work, a funny or cool gif, or an entertaining story. If you don't post one of these your entry will not count.

5. Be positive to one another!

Here is a GIF I like

I will run this giveaway until interest wanes. Good luck to all!!

Pretty sure JunglePredator was looking for these games. Can't remember. If he wasn't, he could always show up here and poke me. Either way, I'm in for him.
Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) for you, I have quite the collection of GIFs. Here's a trippy one, one of my favorites: Edit: Also, what is a "fur baby"? Is that slang for a teddy bear or something?

I have 5 cats and two dogs, I treat them all like they are my children. They are my fur babies.

Oh, gotcha.
Well, I ain't got any pets, and only ever had a few goldfish. I will give you what has been officially recognized as the second-funniest joke in the world, though:

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson decide to go on a camping trip. After dinner and a bottle of wine, they lay down for the night, and go to sleep.

Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.

"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Watson replied, "I see millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?"

Watson pondered for a minute.

"Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets."
"Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo."
"Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three."
"Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant."
"Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow."
"What does it tell you, Holmes?"

Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke: "Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent!"

I really did LOL, I had not heard that one before. Good joke :-D
zeogold, I'm impressed ! The gif is nice, the story is good, but there's another thing, negative rep ??! Not that I'm that old on GOG but heck, I've never seen that before, you have more rep than me in absolute value, lol...

I gave you some positive rep, but don't hesitate to tell me if negative is your goal, I will cancel that if possible :D

-78 isn't all that low. There are way worse around.

Edit: Moreover it isn't that hard to achieve, just hold an unpopular opinion in one of the political threads and stand your ground; your rep will be nuked into oblivion.

I'm still trying to figure out how one can sleep through having a tent stolen out from under themselves...

The original poster said something about pet pictures, right? Well technically I don't consider this a pet because I don't own it. I don't consider it my property, it comes & goes as it pleases; though it's here a lot more often than it's not. About 2 years ago this stray decided to adopt me by hanging out on my patio every day rain or shine for 3 months until I finally decided to relent.

Not in, but I noticed a couple of "issues" with your rules:

trentonlf: 1. Please State if in for yourself or someone else (only 3 entries total per person will count). If not in still feel free to post and have a good time interacting with others.

2. Game is for the winner, not to be traded or given to someone else.
These two rules seem to somewhat contradict one another; you may want to clarify one or both. : )

trentonlf: 4. I either want a picture of your fur baby, a funny joke. a beautiful picture that is safe for work, a funny or cool GIG, or an entertaining story. [...]
Was that supposed to be "GIF"?

trentonlf: 5. Be positive to one another!
I think you meant "Be <i>excellent</i> to each other!" ; )

I'm on NES' hit list. I've stopped him a couple of times and tend to call him out semi-frequently, so he takes out 6-12 of my rep points every day because he somehow thinks it's going to do something. tinyE, apehater, pimpmonkey, and plenty of others have had the same happen to them.

Don't worry yourself over it. People around here know me, and that's what matters.

Not all tents have bottoms to them. Considering the time period in which the Sherlock Holmes stories were written, it would make sense that a tent from the late 1800's wouldn't.

Nah. It's obviously an invitation to post links to live performances.

If you enter on behalf of someone else and they win the game that means the game is for them not to be given away or traded to someone else. How is that confusing?

As much as I like Bill and Ted I meant be positive to one another, I'm tired of the negativity.

+1 for a good and positive post.

I think our two adopted quadrupeds counts as furry "test-babies" ;-)

They're somewhat friends, although the younger one would like nothing more in the whole world to have the older one play more with him... When we first got the younger one (to the right) he looked like a rat at about 5 months, and it didn't take long time before he got comfortable with us. He is more of a indoor cat that LOVES food, fiercely (EDIT2: He and his brothers and sisters were found in a box in an abandoned garage in the woods, and they had to fight for the little food they had), hence his name :-D

The oldest was about 5-6 years old when the owner fell ill and was hospitalized, so when we took him in the car for the first time (we didn't even have a catbag) he roamed freely in the car moaning quite sadly. When we got him inside he hid under the bed for several hours (this was about 4-5 months before we took in the younger one) before he decided to come out and sniff around. He can be gone for almost a week before we sees him so hi's more like an old stubborn adventurer that likes to have it his way.

Now they both sleeps between us sometimes but only if they behave and can be quiet/still.

EDiT: Seems like the picture was too big, so I downsized it and uploaded it here:

That gives me a 404
I'm not sure about the EEs, but in doubt I'll enter the GA anyway.
Here, look at what kind of dog-mouse I had (pic from web).
