Buffy Boards Christmas carol competition - win points for your house!

[Mr. Pointy]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls I am pleased to announce the start of the BB Christmas carol competition right here, in this very thread! Inspired by killerdwarf's Christmas singalong extravaganza from last year ( read it again here (http://www.buffy-boards.com/showthread.php?t=22163)) here is a chance to have some festive fun and win points for your house in the Interdorm contest.

We're asking members to compose a BB-related Christmas song using one of these opening lines...

We three kings of Buffy Boards are...

Pointy the red-nosed moddy...

On the first day of Christmas my BB gave to me...

God rest ye merry Buffy boards...

The songs will be judged by a panel consisting of BB's own three wise men, Old Master III, killerdwarf and me, ably assisted by other staff members. We will be looking for the song that makes us LOL the most. You should look to include mentions of your BB friends (and others) but please keep it clean (though good double entendres are positively encouraged :)) and please do not bash fellow members. Other than that, feel free to express yourself festively to your heart's content.

We will be awarding 100 house points to the winner, 60 points to the runner-up and 20 points to the third-placed song.

Post your entries in this thread, which will be closed around 17th December, so we can judge the entries. I hope to announce the results in time for Christmas...as they say around my adopted home, "Fill yer boots!" (translation for non-northerners - "please enter the competition and help make some old men laugh over the holiday season" ;))

On the first day of Christmas my BB gave to me...


Does is have to be this exact line or can i replace BB with a BB member?

[Angels baby101]

ahhh i really wanna enter this but i suck with like ya lol.... Who knows maybe though lol

[zombie.apparatus]

great.. lol.. im so bad with things like this.. though i will try and write something.. is there a word limit.. min/max? xx

[Spirit_Of_Fred]

ooh, sounds fun!!! id love to try this if i can find the time! but be forewarned, im not that good...:silly:

[Edmund Blackadder]

My Silent Night one isn't suitable for this competition SO if I have time, i'll do something else:)

[Mr. Pointy]

All entries are very welcome, as long as they're funny, witty, satirical, wry, hilarious, amusing (you get my point ;))...don't worry if you don't think you're a great writer, just have some fun trying...we'll be laughing with you not at you :)

A couple of points of clarification from the posts above...

...feel free to change the names in the first lines I've provided...hell, feel free to use first lines of your own (as long as they're BB versions of Christmas carols or songs)...here's another one for you...

Jingle bells, Pointy smells,
He censored all my posts...

...I hadn't thought about minimum or maximum word counts but if you've only got three or four lines, you should have a really high laugh per line ratio...and if you really have written the BB Ring Cycle you should know that KD, OM and I need to take regular naps at our ages and may not be able to read it all ;)

[zombie.apparatus]

I really suck at creative writing... well things like this anyways.. here is my entry!

“One wise man and his fellow Buffy Boarders”

Mr. Pointy where art thou, where is thy Pointy, tell me now.
Be he here, or be he there... that dam Pointy is everywhere!
Christmas time is here, always full of laughs and cheer
If I know Mr Pointy well, be he near that foamy beer
Buffy Boards will sing and smile; Buffy Boards will be here while
Buffy Boards the best place to be, Buffy Boards is just for me.
With Christmas arriving, and candles to light
Mr Pointy is the best. He says "that’s right"
Drogyn, Merrick, Raiden and Vahla Ha’nesh are houses of fun,
Unite us together… and we are one.


GOODLUCK TO EVERYONE ELSE ENTERING.. ESPECIALLY MY FELLOW DROGYNITES xxx oh and I hope you judges dont think its too bad ::huh1:: xx ha ha

[killerdwarf]

Just a hint to all you potential Christmas Carol writers: Go get the real words to the carol you want to rewrite, and just match the new words to the old rhythm. That way works for me...;)

[zombie.apparatus]

so... is anyone else entering this comp or is it just me and Angels baby101 :silly:

[Lyri]

i'm gonna TRY to come up with something...i'm an ok writer, but it's the rhyming that's getting to me! lol

[Angel's vision]

I'm hoping i'll come up with something really.....it's the witty remarks i'm not good at....

[Lyri]

i have a question...does it have to be a Christmas carol, or can we choose a pop song or something? you know, like 'Last Christmas'

[Mr. Pointy]

i have a question...does it have to be a Christmas carol, or can we choose a pop song or something? you know, like 'Last Christmas'
If you can come up with something that's both Christmas-related and BB-related that'll do for me :)

[Frenchy Faith]

Just so you don't read it the wrong way, I love this contest idea a lot hehe :silly: it's brilliant...
so I thought what it'd do to me if I started thinking about writing for it. and I got the headache just thinking about thinking what a headache I'd get if I started trying to do it.... :silly: :drunk:

Dashing through BB
On my computer,
Over the forum I go,
Searching all the way;
Suddenly I find,
A fun Carol contest,
And there I find myself
Lured into this game

Come on rhymes, come on rhymes,
Rimes please come my way!
O what pain it is to write
When you decide to hide.

A day or two ago,
I had no idea,
That Mr. Pointy
Had posted this thread;
And now here am I;
In my misfortune;
I can't seem to rhyme,
Or to be funny.

Oh my Joss, Oh my Joss,
Joss, please come my way!
What a shame it is to write
When you don't have ideas.

A day or two ago,
the story I must tell
I was a merry gal
Carefree and happy;
Now I want to please
The three wisest of all,
OM, Mr P.
And flirty KD.

Oh Drogyn, Oh Drogyn!
Drogyn why art thou!
What a weird idea I got
To want to try for thou.

Now my mind is blank
And I got a headache,
I'll give it up just here
And leave this silly song;
Just read the posts that's all
Don't start wanting to post
Because it's gonna lead
To a disaster.

Dear BB, dear BB
BB I love you.
What fun it is to read
But don't let me do contests.

[Mr. Pointy]

Just to remind everyone that the carol contest will be closing in a few days...still time to get those entries posted :)

[NIX]

ok here a couple just for fun ;)

A Baby Just Like You
John Denver, J. Henry (c) 1975 adapted by Foi

The season is upon us now
A time for gifts and giving
And as the year draws to its close
I think about my living

The Christmas time when I was young,
The magic and the wonder,
But colors dull and candles dim,
And dark my standing under

O little Baby Foi, shining light
You've set my soul to dreaming
You've given back my joy in life
And filled me with new meaning

A Savior King was born that day,
A baby just like you,
And as the Magi came with gifts,
I come with my gift too

That peace on Earth fills up your time,
That BuffyBoards surrounds you.
That you may know the warmth of love,
And wrap it all around you

It's just a wish, a dream I'm told
From days when I was young
Merry Christmas, little Baby Foi
Merry Christmas, everyone
Merry Christmas, little Baby Foi
Merry Christmas, everyone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
from the film Meet Me In St. Louis
Hugh Martin, Ralph Blane 1943 adapted by Foi


Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your computor work
From now on,
our troubles will not be online.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-time posts,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
happy golden days of btvs s1.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more as we watch the repeats.

Through the years we all will be together
On BuffyBoards our friendships grow.
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

: erm : :whistle:
