Sunday for 6 points.. I think…

By on 7-27-2008 in Competitions / Contests, Ramblings

Well time is up, WELL DONE To all that entered… it was trickier this week for the spellingly challenged and the vocubulariry stunted…. Im sure maddy is loving this display of English skill…. lol

Love Letter

Why the picture?? Well its called Love Letters…… get it??? Coz Suzanne loves Scrabble…?? it has lots of squares in it..?? You know….???? with letters on them????????? Gees tough crowd tonight… my Sit Down career is cleary not going anywhere.

OK the winning word………..       Well frankly we thought Waltzes was going to do it, but you guys pulled the cat out of the hat… I tell you this though, It has been a nightmare to verify some of the words, a couple were misspelled, some miss added up………. and then trying to verify them in the dictionary…… so please be kind if I have er’d I have done this in the best way I can, the result is final but you are welcome to moan at me for the forseeable future should I have made a complete Donkey of it… lol.  I did note some 21’s but sadly one used a Z instead of the correct S and the other was added up wrong, but still a very good attempt.

WINNING WORD:  Ectozoans  POINTS 20

MEANING: 1. Noun. Any external parasitic organism (as fleas).

So congratulations go to Mary who wins a big pile of goodies…….. 2 fine art prints and of course a keychain… of your choice… I have mailed you for these details so as soon as I get your reply I shall ship out your prize… Also a bottle opener goes to Lil One for her cheek.

Now I need to return to the drawing board to find another give away competition not won in the first few posts!!! lol.. You guys are either too good, or too good at cheating….. or know your way around google very well… lol.  I’ll really stump you this weekend, just you wait and see… it will be a roll over… The prize pile will grow….

UPDATE:  Gorjuss Blog Competition the word Ectozoans is not actually in the dictionary… due to mild stupidity on Mr. G’s behalf an error was made. The result will still stand as the decision is final, but in the interests of fairness, the correct winning word of Waltzes/Waltzers both by Jessica will also receive the prize.  Sandy Gazumped will win nothing as there is no P… please read the comments below to follow the exciting revelations as they happend.. Mr. G has appologised for this error and is currently receiving suitable punnishment for his crimes against blogdom!.

 CAT ACEO’s

  A while back Suzanne released a set of limited edition ACEO prints 9 each of a series of 6 ACEOs…. you remember… they looked like…

gorjuss pussycat girls

  Well If you missed out of getting a hold of a set of these, there is actually a few left…. Available in Suzanne’s etsy shop or by emailing Suzanne directly at gorjuss@gorjuss.co.uk…  I think we have enough for two full sets… so if you want them, please be quick….

NEW PAINTING

  Now I’m not one to over hype a painting… and as I’m writing this very sentence the painting is having finnishing touches and slight tweaks as Suzanne prepares to show you probably her most stunning painting to date, for you cute Suzanne lovers it is absolutely perfect and if you like the darker paintings well I’ll get her to create something as stunning as this for you too… I should maybe explain Suzanne’s creative methods… the key is music.

  Listen to upbeat happy songs like Nick Cave singing “here comes the son” or Rufus Wainwright and “hallelujah” makes for a painting in the cuter side…

 Radiohead/ Blue October and Sigur Ros are the bain of my life…. when she goes dark I sit here misserable with the depressing soundtrack, desperately trying to cheer myself up with medication and therapy I am beginning to recover!! lol..(I am kidding).  If Suzanne wasn’t a painter creating her art, she would most definately be a musician……..well a drummer… (*Ducks cover from all the projected drums sticks currently flying at him*).  And infact I have some RARE recordings of her playing drums in a old band of hers…… (open to bribery).  NOTE TO SUZANNE:(Im also happy to accept offers to keep these recordings rare).  Anyway what was I on about????? OH yeah the painting…. Im not sure Its ready yet guys……..  I will upload it into this blog should I publish before she is finnished…  SO check back here later…

 Ok, its ready to show now……

  1. Congrats!

  2. Jessica you played a great game too…. I been staring in dictionaries for hours now…

  3. Wow I love the new painting!!

    Thanks for the prize, however I do have to ask “Moi, cheeky?” surely you jest
    *runs of giggling*

  4. i looked up ectozoans in my oxford dictionary and it’s not there? it looks like the word was from wordnet..is ectozoans really in a print dictionary?

  5. ectozoan

    ——————————————————————————–
    Noun
    1. any external parasitic organism (as fleas)
    (synonym) ectoparasite, ectozoon, epizoan, epizoon
    (hypernym) parasite
    (hyponym) flea

    ——————————————————————————–
    Adjective
    1. of or relating to epizoa
    (synonym) epizoan
    (pertainym) ectoparasite, ectozoon, epizoan, epizoon

    Thats from the Oxford English Dictionary Site according to Babylon… which is meant to allow you to search the oxford dictionary… doubt there will be much call for that definition in a printed edition..

  6. I want you all to try to fit it into a sentence in conversation this week though…… I’ll give a prize to the best useage… lets make ECTOZOAN a common use word…

  7. Excuse me sir, do you tend to suffer from Ectozoans?

  8. OOH aparently not!!! It says it lets you search it, then doesnt install the dictionary!!! So Give me 5 minutes to work out who the REAL winner should be.. (Sandy with Gazumpers!!!) I tried to ignore her as I was checking words when she posted it and didnt see it till afterwards…
    It is in the dictionary…

    But my winner above is final I may work out a compensation package deal for the “other winner”… My plan to deal with Sandy was to say she had been gazumped….

  9. I had to keep my first post short because I had to restart my computer and a timer was counting down, haha. Thanks Grant, I had a blast playing! Oh, SUNDAY is actually for 10 points. 🙂

    I think it would be better if you stumped us for the next few giveaways, haha. Make us work for it!! I know a lot of people can’t be on the computer on Friday night, so if the only time they can come to this blog is…on Saturday night or Sunday morning, at least they still have a chance to win.

  10. next in line would be Waltzers…
    and then waltzes

    Definately in the dictionary… you guys think you had the difficult bit for this competition… bah…

  11. Um, hope I’m not sounding odd or something but a quick question…where did Sandy get the “P” from in gazumpers? :blush:

  12. Well I guess she was busting!!!

    HELP MA BOAB *goes into hiding*

    I messed up royally haven’t I….

  13. ok So how do I fix this then??

    Right Jessica had waltzers and also waltzes which are 2 qualifying words that work….

    Only one thing to do then, Jessica you got mail!!!

  14. I did mention Scrabble was Suzannes favourite game right??

    I like erm TRANSFORMERS!! *sings theme tune*

  15. Thanks! Everyone submitted some great words!

  16. Oh my goodness, thank you so much!! What a night. XD

    I totally forgot to comment at all about the painting, my mind is always wandering. Suzanne, that painting is so gorgeous, it is perfect. It’s so magical and the colors are lovely. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!!

  17. I sure was gazumped, lol. I have never been so gazumped in my life. In fact this is one gazumping I will never forget, lol. Wonder where I got the “p” from lol.
    Anywho, congrats to the winner!!!!
    The Runaway is so pretty!!!
    Have a goodnight in G’land and see you tomorrow.
