Yod Hunt #9: Monkey Recruiters

There is no prize this time for being first... there's a special prize.

Prizes up for grabs:
Best Entry: determined by [Three Doors] method
Favorite Entry: Virtual Ribbon
Best Marketing Hack: Monkey supreme prize package

Best Marketing Hack?

That's right. The monkeys want to see some new faces. Something about leveraging their synergies. So they are offering their own prize package to the person that brings in the most new entries. According to the monkeys, you will get one point for each person that enters the Yod Hunt for the first time. All they have to do for you to get the credit is put a line in their entry like:

"I am entering the Yod Hunt because of Crankypants. Now please give Crankypants her prize because the restraints really hurt  and the cattle prod is NOT fun during daylight hours :( "

If there's a tie the monkeys will have a random number generator handle deciding who wins the special prize. And since the monkeys are expecting at least a few new people, the topic are less crazy but more open this week... have fun!

The topics:

1. Show us a candle that has clearly seen better days.
2. Show us the food item you would eat right now if you were told the world was going to end in five minutes.
3. Take a picture of one of those funny music playing devices that existed before iPods.
4. Purchase and show us a very cheap generic or knockoff product.
5. Show us something you've received as a birthday present.
