The Oko Box Keyword Challenge (Game and Prize!)

About once a year I take a look at the google keywords people use to find my blog. It never ceases to entertain, amaze, & confuse me, make me LOL... and scare me to find out the little blurbs the other humans out there are typing in that search box - and then somehow getting to The Oko Box Blog!
I have decided we (me and you) will play a lil' game together with these keywords, a fun writing game but before I tell you the game rules and PRIZE here are the keywords::::::::

*

chicken foot back scratcher
wrist restraints
abandoned mansions frozen in time
beeswax sex lube
boz sluts
buy a eco toilet bugs
creative zen x-fi style cancer and birth defects
diaper transformation

*
diy halloween cocoon man
drunkard
forest porn sites
giant mosquito for sale
hawt wings mystery box
how to paint a witch

*

ha.

THE OKO BOX KEYWORD GAME :::::

1. Choose 5 of the keywords (whether it's a one word keyword, a fragment sentence or question).

2. Take your 5 keywords and create a fiction story including them (if you can make it a non fiction story that really happened to you that would be incredible and impressive!)

3. The story you create can be any length, but let's keep it more short...less a novel. You can take up more then one comment box word limit if you need to, just try to put them all in there one after another so the story can flow.

4. Leave your story in the comments box, and I will choose my favorite Oko Box Keyword Fiction Story ---- the winner gets a PriZe!

Bad(and short) Example ::::: No one believed him about how his tent got trampled. He told them a mountain lion chasing a chicken ran right over the top while he was sleeping, but they identified stinky weed in his wallet and everyone knew he was a total fucking drunkard. A bear was likely, but even more likely was he lied, passed out on top the tent himself and crushed it. Wasted, he was about as useful as a box turtle having a seizure...........

PRIZE ::::::::::: I will make the winner a special & personal lil' box full of neat things I find in nature - useful and beautiful. Trust me, it will be cool. :)

Fur Free Fashion Competition

Calling all ethical designers- here is a fun competition that challenges the fashion industry to make some fabulous fur free creations that help show the world that fur does not belong on the pages of magazines and shoulders of Hollywood stars- cause the fur industry is gross!
Here's info about the contest:::

"Are you a designer? Born Free USA and E Magazine are looking for independent fashion designers to enter fffashion: Fur Free Fashion Design Competition.

You could win one of three cash prizes and a chance for your design to be featured in E Magazine — the nation's leading environmental news magazine.

Put your compassionate eco-savvy talent to the test by filling out an entry form and submitting a photo of one of your fully constructed fur free fashions. Deadline is April 1, 2009.

Prizes:
1st Prize: $750 cash and your design professionally modeled, photographed, and featured in an ad in E Magazine, and a feature profile of you and your design on the fffashion website and in related media exposure.

2nd Prize: $500 cash, recognition in E Magazine, and a special profile of you and your design on the fffashion website.

3rd Prize: $250 cash, recognition in E Magazine, and a special profile of you and your design on the fffashion website.

Finalists: The top 10 participants and their designs will be recognized on fffashion website.

Top entries will be judged and winners selected by Sophie Uliano, green living guru and author of New York Times Bestseller Gorgeously Green; Summer Rayne Oaks, eco-model, activist, spokesperson, and resident expert for Discovery Network’s Planet Green; and Brita Belli, editor of E / The Environmental Magazine. "

PS - I am personally not against the use of animal fur for those indigenous people in cold regions where it's the only way to protect themselves from the harsh weather conditions (or in other natural settings)- what I am against is the exploitation of living creatures used in torturous ways to turn a buck for greedy industries.
