08/10/2004 Entry: "ROTJ Coloring Book Coloring Contest: RESULTS!"

Well, 8 PM has come and gone, and with it, the chance to win a box of crap for coloring in Squid Head and Boba Fett. Got a little over 30 entries -- a few were lost in e-mail mishaps; say a prayer for them. The rest of you knew the rules: make magic out of this page:

Judging the entries was tough -- most of the good ones were so much better than the bad ones that the bad ones seemed four times badder than they actually were. And of the good, a few stood out. Part of me wanted to award the grand prize to Jay from Tupelo who so skillfully cropped fried calamari out of a Food Network picture and added it near Boba Fett's mouth. Instead I had Jay from Tupelo killed. The winner of the One-Day-Only ROTJ Coloring Book Coloring Contest is...

Jeff! Don't know Jeff personally. Don't know if I want to. But boy does make the mean Squidhead yes.

Jeff will win various trinkets of little worth, packed into a box we formerly used to litter box train. Thanks to all who participated -- I liked coming home to multiple Squid Heads. Here's the best of the rest, and sorry if yours isn't on here. I'm running out of time.

I didn't expect to win, but it was fun making mine anyway. And now you can all enjoy Boba Fett in a suit with a top hat and monocle.

Mine didn't go through either, dammit. sad I DID send it again, though. I hope it at least can be put up? ^^ It's really cool

Star Wars coloring books make everything ooooook

Chestnuts roasted by Former A1C Pete @ 08/10/2004 10:14 PM EST

This certainly made my day. Definately do this again, Matt--The results were awesome!

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 08/10/2004 10:20 PM EST

YAY! 12th place!!

Voice inside: I think they're up randomly after the winner.

Quiet you!

Chestnuts roasted by Blaine @ 08/10/2004 10:20 PM EST

Man i wish I had talent. Or a life. Either would be greatly appreciated at this point. I guess i missed the whole contest thing. I feel slighty accomplished that i did pull out all my old coloring books and colored in them this morning. Though I guess i had the newest crayola's, cause i couldn't find half of the crayons from the review and there were a bunch of new ones like Pig Pink. Great Job to all the contest people. I'm impressed. Though it takes very little to impress me.

I though they made such a happy couple.

Chestnuts roasted by cravipat @ 08/10/2004 10:23 PM EST

I agree with Cameron T. We should definitely do this again at some point. It is fun for the whole family (except where said family includes blind people)!

Chestnuts roasted by JDavis @ 08/10/2004 10:39 PM EST

Aww, I even gave Boba Fett all his battle damage on his armor and everything. Oh well. Grats to the winner(s).

Chestnuts roasted by Lysanna @ 08/10/2004 10:46 PM EST

I didn't need an extra box o junk anyway. I have enough of those to begin with. wink

Chestnuts roasted by Silkenray @ 08/10/2004 10:48 PM EST

DAMMIT!!!!!!!! I missed the fucking contest!!!! I so would've entered!!!!!

Well, anyway, I hope you have another contest like this sometime soon. Fuck.

Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 08/10/2004 10:51 PM EST

Mine's the 4th one down, but it's compressed so you can't see the pictures on the wall in detail. I got some other X-E favorites in there too. Thanks for posting it, Matt!

jdavis you should have won. ^^

Chestnuts roasted by Max @ 08/10/2004 11:31 PM EST

Mine's the 17th one down. I figured my gag was too obvious to get picked, but it was still sweet seeing it here.

BTW Matt, its CRUIZ not CRUID, or was that my typo? Honestly, I found out about this today and kinda rushed that email, so its possible.

Congrats to all. Good jobs all around.

Chestnuts roasted by A-wel Cruiz @ 08/10/2004 11:41 PM EST

greg and jdavis are winners in my book.

Matt, you couldn't have posted brian stricklin's entry without expecting a barrage of "pHoTOg EnTRieS pLEaSe!" comments, so I'll get the party started. PHOTOG PLEASE!

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 08/11/2004 12:04 AM EST

like i stated earlier, why was the WEREWOLF dude replaced with a pot smokin frog in the SPECIAL EDITION????????? please provide an answer...............

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 08/11/2004 12:21 AM EST

Wow, I want Russell to teach me how to paint.

Seriously. Where is he?

Still, I thought my entry was good too. If I had won, I was going to refuse the advertised prize and instead ask for the chance to write one article for X-E in Matt's place. It would have rocked.

Chestnuts roasted by Mars @ 08/11/2004 12:31 AM EST

Man...mine sucked so bad I didn't even color it.

I wish I could read...

Chestnuts roasted by Walks @ 08/11/2004 12:53 AM EST

Aww, sorry I missed it! Not that I would've had time to enter something really great, but still.

And hey, JDavis -- your entry was jolly good stuff. Jolly good! Great entries all around, actually. You all deserve more than nothing and time lost, but alas, we live in a zero-sum world. razz

Chestnuts roasted by Wes @ 08/11/2004 03:48 AM EST

The only remotely servicable idea I had was to draw a large arrow pointing to the crack in the wall with the caption "Honeycomb", and then Boba Fett would say "Honeycomb big, yeah, yeah, yeah" to which Squidhead would reply "It's not small, no, no, no".

Too weak a joke to sumbit, especially if you haven't seen the Andr� the Giant Honeycomb commercial which Matt has archived elsewhere on this site.

Chestnuts roasted by Steve Brandon @ 08/11/2004 04:14 AM EST

Mine was the best because it looked like what an actual coloring book would look like had some kid named Kenny had his way with it. sad It sucked though

Chestnuts roasted by Will @ 08/11/2004 06:00 AM EST

I think mine got too personal for Matt wink

Oh well, here's my rejected one:

I sent it in 15 minutes late, if Matt's time limit was Eastern time.

Boo hoo.

Chestnuts roasted by Ubu Rex @ 08/11/2004 08:40 AM EST

Ahh the magic of photoshop!
Great contest. Amusing. =)

Chestnuts roasted by Jenner @ 08/11/2004 09:13 AM EST

0 skills + 0 tools while at work = no worthless box o' crap for me

Chestnuts roasted by Blah...blah @ 08/11/2004 09:19 AM EST

Thanks Mars. I love this site and when I saw that contest I just had to enter. It's good though that the prize was given based on more than just good coloring, so congrats to Jeff too!

Chestnuts roasted by Russell @ 08/11/2004 09:26 AM EST

Yes, I agree...JDavis is the winner...that one made me laugh out loud. However, the best one based on pure art is silkenray...that is really good. Wish I could do that.

Chestnuts roasted by Y2JB78 @ 08/11/2004 10:50 AM EST

Woo! Third AND fourth! That probably just means I'm a big geek who sent her entries in so early they were at the top of the email ladder. Oh, well.
Also, am I the only dork who submitted two?

Comments: ewzzy's looks like a Jefferson Airplane video.
greg, the posters are awesome. Excellent idea.
Brian Sobby and I both went for the fat joke.
jdavis, yours is awesome, too. Loving the top hat.
a-wel cruiz, I think Matt fixed your name. 'Cruid' is like a mean druid. Heh, I ammuse myself.
silkenray, nice coloring job. I'm surprised no one has commented yet.

Man, I love photoshop challenges. I could do them all day. I don't have photoshop (Microsoft PhotoDraw), but it works just as well. Obviously, I didn't use it for my entry (how could anyone NOT use crayons to color it? I'm so disappointed in all of you. Pppbbbllttt!). Click on my name to see my most recent TWOP entry under KermitD.Frog (catagory: celebrities in the Olympics).

I love the idea of getting to write an X-E article as a prize. Or, as a contest. 'Write 2,000 on what you keep in your junk drawer', or '1,500 words on Thunder Punch He-man'.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 08/11/2004 10:56 AM EST

Woah! Too much bold! I need to learn to close my tags! Sorry, all.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 08/11/2004 10:57 AM EST

No problem Jen! I think yours should have made it on the site...made me crack up...

I have to say that JDavis' is my favorite too. Monacles=awesome.

Chestnuts roasted by B-Dawg @ 08/11/2004 11:23 AM EST

Whoa. I'm all bold too. I don't even use tags.

Chestnuts roasted by B-Dawg @ 08/11/2004 11:26 AM EST

Hmmm, let's try ...

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 08/11/2004 11:34 AM EST

Nope. I messed up the blog. Bad! Bad me! To the closet!

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 08/11/2004 11:35 AM EST

Hope that ends the bold move...

Chestnuts roasted by /end bold @ 08/11/2004 11:48 AM EST

the colors, man. THE COLORS! I like the ones colored like amy s. because the Mon Calamari looks like a collector's lapel pin.
X-E: our own little hive of scum and villainy.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 08/11/2004 12:16 PM EST

Didn't have the tools/time to enter, but loved the contest anyways- good job people- great stuff. I am very jealous of the box of crap I didn't get to win. Hope there's another contest sometime soon!

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 08/11/2004 01:18 PM EST

I have to say I'm suprised no one made a comment about the... ahem, shape of Squid head's noggin from Boba Fett's perspective.

Chestnuts roasted by El Bang @ 08/11/2004 01:23 PM EST

Drat, I didn't even make the cut. I wish I had a webspace so people could take a look at mine entry.

I found it funny, but then again, I'm Canadian.

Good job on the colouring peoples, there 's a lot of talent and humour displayed in the lot. I wonder how full Matt's inbox was?

Chestnuts roasted by Yzziefrog @ 08/11/2004 01:37 PM EST

Thanks for the compliments, guys smile

Chestnuts roasted by JDavis @ 08/11/2004 02:16 PM EST

Question: If you were to look at Jeff's winning entry under the influence of some illegal substance, would it look like the original?

Chestnuts roasted by Yzziefrog @ 08/11/2004 02:39 PM EST

Yzziefrog, i thought mine was hilarious as well, but then again I'm canadian as well wink

Maybe we just have our own twisted sense of humour up here...kinda like our beer....strong and makes you forget!

Chestnuts roasted by -Jen- @ 08/11/2004 03:01 PM EST

Good stuff too bad I missed the contest I feel left out, I'll have to stop a "Goodwill" and pick up a box of crap just to make myself feel special. My favorite has to be Russell's, nice job!

Chestnuts roasted by George Lucas @ 08/12/2004 03:09 PM EST

You guys all did a great job. Ewwzy's was really good, and greg's art gallery, but I liked the last 2 entries the best of all.

I don't know how I missed this contest. It might have had to do with school, which is all the more reason to hate it, as if it being in the summer wasn't enough...

Do another coloring thingie!

Chestnuts roasted by knic84 @ 08/13/2004 07:15 PM EST

Click me!!! I was too late for the contest but I made a picture anyway, because I am BORED.

Chestnuts roasted by Queer Eye for the Fett Guy @ 08/13/2004 07:48 PM EST

Obviously you're all into this contest but I'm sorry to say that the last two starwars movies: Star Wars - The Search For A Plot and Star Wars - When You Fail Redeeming Yourself, were not very good at all. Which I'm sure you all noticed unless you were waiting for a good view of Natalie Portman to enjoy yourself with as well as I and four little Jawa Wackers at home. But nevertheless, Starwars is an epic of all time and Star Trek was a big fat rip-off of Space Balls. You all kick ass and have fun coloring your little guys!
