Hi everyone, Okay I know some of you view me as a nutcase, but I have an interesting idea for what could become another contest. Basically, the goal of the contest is to record yourself (video + audio [mpeg], or just audio [mp3, wav, ogg]) rehearsing a monologue that is related to Geek culture (or not related, but is still interesting.) This, at the root of judgment, requires acting. The winner will be that person who is most dramatic, or funny, or convincing, or whatever the monologue in context is set to be. Whoever wins will receive -- get this -- $10.00 in their PayPal account. I know. I know. Calm down. Here are some ideas for the monologues: Adminspotting: http://www.adminspotting.org No, Fuck You: http://www.whysanity.net/monos/25th.html Okay, I just have those two but I'm sure some people also know some good ones. Who's in? P.S.: I'll do it too P.S.S.: go kill yourself
Rate me up.

Shakespeare was Greek, right? Can I just record some of his crap?

Geek not Greek. Think of John Carmack not Shakespeare.

I'd be happy to think about this, but the procrastinator in me needs to know when the deadline is.

Hey! My name is a part of his "crap." He was very English, but since he was probably a geek (how else would he afford the time to write all of those plays and 100+ sonnets?), does that count?

which is interesting ... considering the plot. no offense intended [smile]. i've found some of his (shakespeare's) works interesting.

by "borrowing" liberally from Sophocles, among others.

No worries. MY desdemona fell in love with Othello because he's a warrior above all else. She loves power, control and war. I killed Iago a long time ago, pesky little thumb twiddler. {actually she's from the play "Goodnight Desdemona, Good Morning Juliet" by Anne Marie MacDonald. Desdemona's as I described her and Juliet's a horny little adolscent. It's hilarious}
