The Third Nonsense Writing Contest - The Voting Boot - Prizes Worth 30 STEEM - Voting Ends in 36 Hours
The Third Nonsense Writing Contest - The Voting Boot - Prizes Worth 30 STEEM - Voting Ends in 36 Hours This particular round has been a source of constant hiccups, and yet, we come to the process of digestion. <center>https://i.imgur.com/5SlAtLw.jpg</center> I have read and re-read all the entries and have come up with a shorter shortlist this time. In preparation for the random changes in prize distributions, this contest will have one winner from the poll, one from my personal choice plus a third random draw. I shall explain the random draw in the final post on Friday morning. ### Dramatis Personae [Nonsense writing contest!](https://steemit.com/steemleo/@filosof103/nonsense-writing-contest) [Euphorische Rede Euphoric Speech](https://steemit.com/deutsch/@udabeu/euphorische-rede-euphoric-speech) [Virus Schmyerus, a Nonsensical Freewrite](https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@owasco/virus-schmyerus-a-nonsensical-freewrite) [Nonsense Non Sense On Sense - No Sense](https://steemit.com/nonsense/@worldbuilder/nonsense-non-sense-on-sense-no-sense) [We agreed!](https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@wakeupkitty/we-agreed) [Stumbling blocks! Nonsense or News? My Third entry for @rycharde contest](https://steemit.com/esteem/@felixgarciap/stumbling-blocks-nonsense-or-news-my-third-entry-for-rycharde-contest) ### The Voting Please vote on the dpoll link shown in the footer of this post. You may, of course, adorn the comments section but only a radio button will count as a vote. This Third Nonsense Writing Contest poll will last for about 36 hours from posting, taking us into the early hours of UTC Friday morning. Voters, commenters, resteemers etc shall, as always be sprinkled with tokens, if I can find a post and if there are any tokens left. Using the #CC tag also means that every comment will receive a CC token. ### The Prizes Each of the above six authors shall receive 2 MAXUV tokens, and the three final winners will get an extra 5 MAXUV tokens each. ### The Paying Attention Award That was [yesterday](https://steemit.com/creativecoin/@rycharde/the-third-nonsense-writing-contest-prizes-worth-30-steem-ends-mon-10-feb-day-11-of-11). <center>https://i.imgur.com/HxpkhKl.jpg</center> ### And finally... A huge thanks to *every* writer who has taken part. There have been quite a few comments about these contests, some expressing similar ideas: This isn't as easy as it looks; This is great fun and a source of personal pleasure; We are looking for crazy people. In an age of universal mendacity, the truth sometimes has to be hidden, till the time is ripe, like a [terma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terma_(religion)).

The Second Nonsense Writing Contest - The Approbation: Vote Now - Prizes Worth 30 STEEM - (Day 12 of 10)
Welcome to the penultimate post in this Second Nonsense Writing Contest. A big thank-you to all the writers. This week was harder to judge, hence there are fewer entries that made the final cut - somewhat like SPS raising the bar. <center>https://i.imgur.com/YWJBif8.jpg</center> Laughing is not always a reaction to humour. I mean, being tickled is not funny in the least. Sometimes a single line can elevate a piece to the top shelf. Sometimes the world is turned upside-down just so that you notice it was never the right way up in the first place. <center>https://youtu.be/JSTpRCscfKI</center> Here is my selection of topsy-turveys for this Second Contest. --- ### The Reading List [Some Nonsense Writing](https://steempeak.com/@wwwiebe/some-nonsense-writing) [Freiwillige Helfer streben dem Ausgang zu](https://steemit.com/deutsch/@udabeu/freiwillige-helfer-streben-dem-ausgang-zu) (with English tr.)

Nonsense or News?](https://steemit.com/esteem/@felixgarciap/the-ants-nonsense-or-news-my-entry-for-the-second-rycharde-contest) [[Wednesday] Some nonsensical random muses for your wittiness collection.](https://steemit.com/hive-174578/@por500bolos/wednesday-some-nonsensical-random-muses-for-your-wittiness-collection) [Nonsense Contest Entry for @rycharde the Brave](https://steempeak.com/hive-174578/@fitinfun/nonsense-contest-entry-for-rycharde-the-brave) Each of the above writers shall receive 2 MAXUV tokens. The final two winners will be selected by combining this vote and my own favourite. They will each win an extra 5 MAXUV tokens. ### How do I vote? This vote will be open until it closes - this will be in about 48 hours from posting, so Thurday night *my* local time. The reason you see *three* similar lists is that dpoll creates a list of options plus a list of voting buttons but neither of them have links to the actual articles. Hence we end up with this triple layered cake. A slight change to the voting this time - you can only make *one* selection. Please vote at the dpoll link. Comments are good; they are healthy and wealthy. Now enriched with vitamin CC. However, I am not spending my time counting comments, so please vote on the dedicated dpoll webpage. A spray of tokens will descend on any human activity, such as voting, resteeming, commenting and remote viewing. Good luck and good reading! --- <sub>[Quote](http://www.notable-quotes.com/n/nonsense_quotes.html) from Gary Zukav, *The Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics*.
