Oh fuck! Almost forgot the LITTLE DRUMMER BOY thread

Whoops! Usually I give time to sign up but I kind of forgot about that part so here we are

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

The Little Drummer Boy Contest begins soon. It’s easy, you just have to make it from 12:01am the Friday after Thanksgiving until 12:00am on 12/26 without hearing a minute millisecond of any version of the song The Little Drummer Boy.

Oh, that’s all? No big deal I can do that easy…WRONG.

HERE ARE THE SPECIFICS OF THE COMPETITION

1. If you realize at any time you’ve heard any of the song…you whistled it, you hummed it, someone sang a few bars, it came on at Walmart…you’re out. If you’re watching a show and it plays at all you’re out (there are lists online that warn you what episodes of shows to avoid)

2. This one comes up every year. You can’t be eliminated by someone trying to eliminate you. If someone knows you’re in the contest and intentionally makes you hear it…you’re still alive…for now.

That’s basically it. Any questionable calls can be run by me.

Oh! You cannot be eliminated by Missy Elliott’s song, Work It. I refuse to run a contest that limits listening to Missy Elliott.

If you want to be in just post here and let me know. I’ll put your name on a list of the soon to be damned. When the contest begins and you are inevitably eliminated I will move you from the Alive list to the Dead list and you will be greeted by a lovely Christmas image. Something wholesome.

Being eliminated by the Pentatonix Version is now a TRIPLE elimination and your shame shall pass to your family for the next 3 generations

When you are eliminated the expectation is that you post here and explain how and why you were eliminated. That’s the fun part…well that and the FEAR.

To sign up, just post in this thread and say that you’re in. I’ll go through and periodically add you to the list. If you see me adding people after you posted then I probably missed you. Try to sign up before the contest begins.

The prize? There is no prize. All will die.

    Actually, is it cool to chat in here?

    Some other threads aren't so welcoming to that thing...

  • TayaTaya Registered User regular
    I will sign up! I already heard it this year before the start time so I assume I'm already Drummer Boyed out and it will be smooth sailing from here.

    It's commonly interpreted that the Santa is the child's father, and the mother is doing a roleplay thing.

    I'm all the way in.

    Question about the Pentatonix 3-generation curse: if I'm the 2nd generation of a 7-generation curse, does that mean the original curse ends 2 generations early?
    Following that, does self-immolation via Pentatonix count as intentional?

    I think I've gone entire years without hearing LDB.

    Will this year be one of them?

    Edit: Just realized I will be in South America for Christmas this year and I assume that makes me even more unlikely to hear it than normal.
