Excuses, excuses!

Written by: Anubis

Well, some of you might have seen my topic in No Nutritional Value (AKA the Twinkie board) about a little contest, in which you sent your excuses to me, and PPT voted their favourite excuse.

First, the excuses which were not chosen (but were very commendable) shall be stated here. Thank you very much for entering. They shall be shown first so you last three participants won't scroll ahead, but shall, instead, look at the work produced by other PPTers. =]

DM was on Fire!

My belly button was on fire and the fire department didn't come in time. Therefore, I am dead and the essay means nothing to me.

.:Requiem:.

I was stranded in a third-world country with no access to technology, and my only pencil was eaten by a rabid hye-er...my little sister.

I didn't do my essay as I have written Torretts Syndrome and didn't want to insult you in it.

Jens (1)

... My hamster died, and my brother got all emotional and such, I spent the entire night cheering him up.

Rikio

Well you see, it was such a pretty essay, until my mom ate it.

I didn't write my essay because I was busy mapping out a temple on an Internet game site.

Now for a runner-up, one that was very close to getting into the final three.

Inexistence

I was doing my essay, which was very hard. It took so long that I was doing it this morning next to a boiling hot radiator. I scolded my knee on it, knocking my essay into the crowd of people who trampled on it, and then a loose gerbil came and gnawed out the middle. Then the guy who cuts everything came and cut it into triangles. A guy with a leaf blower then came in and blew it away into a hoover.

The final three PPT excuses were chosen by myself and two other judges, so thank you for helping, my two judges, and well done to the final three.

The final three were...

.:Compact Disk:.

Right, here's what happened sir...

I did do the essay but then I was putting the finishing touches to it at my dad's laboratory, when all of a sudden he set fire to it by accident. Lucky for me I had a backup on a floppy disk but my dad's computer had a virus and wiped the disk. Even luckier for me was the fact I had it saved on my computer. So when I got home I printed a new one off. Unfortunately, my dog ate this copy. So I tried to print off a new one... but I had no ink left...

*smiles innocently*

Jens (2)

... I swear! A fire! My room was on fire! What? You wanna ask my mum? No you can't! Uh, she was burnt! ... Yeah, my dad too!

Ammer

"You have not done your essay, what is your excuse?"

I was crying the whole day yesterday; it was the anniversary of my dog's death. If only he was here now, but he isn't, because he's dead.

"You have not done your essay, what is your excuse?"

My dog ate it.

"I thought he died?"

He did, he died right after he ate it. Bad indigestion.

We had a showdown between these three excuses. Thank you to everyone who voted; your vote was well appreciated. The results come now.

In third place was the excuse by .:Compact Disk:.. Well done CD, and thank you for entering.

It was a very, very close contest with Jens and Ammer, with only a vote apart.

But, in second place was the excuse by Jens. Well done, Jens.

So, you know what this means. PPT's voted favourite excuse was the excuse by Ammer, so well done Ammer!

Thanks for reading, until next time, and the next excuses round.

(Some day I might even get to handing out NP! =O)
