ActionScript Poetry contest is on! // or, trace (contest[poetry].annual[0]);

In the time-honored tradition of Perl poetry contests, we're introducing the first-of-its-kind (that we know of, anyway) ActionScript Poetry Contest.

The rules are simple: Translate your favorite poem (any poem, but remember: "Nantucket" is not an accepted ActionScript keyword), and post it here in the comments section of this article before March 21 (which is UNESCO's official World Poetry Day (Who knew?)). Once the deadline has passed, the judging wil begin.

Judging will be based on several factors, including public reaction to the poem (as noted in comments here), its poetic appeal, creativity and the ungodly whims of our nameles, faceless panel of judges. Extra credit will no doubt be given if the "poem" actually does something in ActionScript.

Keep in mind, this is not a call for Flash interpretations of literary works (See Vidlit.com for that sort of thing), but a real, honest-to-goodness, geek-fest in which the code itself becomes the poetry. (See the ActionScript Jabberwocky for an example of what we're looking for.)

As for prizes: What would a geek contest be without the almost-obligatory grand-prize of a free iPod up for grabs? Well, it would be a Turdhead contest. How about a free T-shirt?

Let the games begin:

NOTE:The submission window is closed now. Judging shall now commence.

So far, www.texas-holdem-i.com owes me $27,000

Turdhead.com now has a new advertising policy that we hope will better serve our friends in the spamming community. In the past, we've simply deleted unsolicited advertising from our comments section, but apparently, this has not hampered the spamming community from keeping us busy, regardless. Thus, beginning today, we will glady store and publish ALL commercial messages submitted to our comments board for the reasonable fee of $1,000 per message per day.

Keep in mind that submission of unsolicited commercial advertising constitutes acceptance of this new policy, and billing will commence upon acceptance — NOT upon publication, which will commence only once payment is recieved.

To protect our readers from such nuisance advertising, we will also make every effort to collect on this debt, as we cannot afford to provide storage space for unsolicited ads or provide a free advertising service for cheap, unscrupulous and/or ass-brained Web spam operators (such as those submitting spam for

www.texas-holdem-i.com, www.pokerpartyonline.com and several other companies).

Happy holidays, and we look forward to servicing you hard!

–The management

(Of course, valid non-commercial comments are always free and welcome!)

ADDENDUM: This new system works great! Apparently, the folks at www.online-poker-333.com have decided it's worth more than $40,000 for them to advertise on Turdhead.com. As soon as they pay their bill, we look forward to "unhiding" their important messages, too!

ADDENDUM x 2: To see how this spam crap is affecting others, too, take a look at the following blogs as well:

Vote for Li’l Johnny!!!

Dunno how, but somehow Li'l Johnny's Aquarium Adventure wound up as a nominee for the 2004 Office Attachments Awards presented by Yahoo! UK & Ireland. I'll admit I don't know what this means exactly, but I'd sure appreciate it if everybody would go here

and vote for Aquarium Adventure!

The competition is stiff, I'll admit, and I'm just honored to be listed… But winning would kinda rock, too.

Thanks again, everybody, and remember, help save Li'l Johnny!.

The ActionScript Jabberwocky

It may not be apparent from many of the random postings I've made here, but one of the main reasons for the existence of Turdhead.com is to provide a space for creative Web-based art, writing, animation and of course, lens flare effects. A turdhead is, after all, not only a geek (of which the internet is full), but also a generally well-read, cultured and sociable sort — a geek that occasionally makes it out into the real world, not only by accident but occasionally even under their own free will.

With that in mind, I have decided to revel in my geekdom and admit that the following sort of thing actually DOES provide me with some sick sense of nerd amusement. It will probably appeal only to fellow Flash programmers, and even then perhaps, only to the true Actionscript aficionado, but regardless, we (i.e., I) hope you enjoy the following:

Help save L’il Johnny!

Link to Aquarium Adventure

Ok, Turdhead.com is finally on the air. Not with a bang, but with the sad, pathetic whimper of a foolhardy third-grader trapped in a tank full of piranha. And with that, we give you…

Shameless begging, panhandling and soul-sucking indignity

Want to show your appreciation for Turdhead.com, its products or services? Although it's certainly not necessary, we'd be pleased as punch if you felt like donating any amount you'd like, or even if you just wanted to give us a nod on Digg.com. Honestly, we have no pride whatsoever (the name of the site is Turdhead.com, after all), and we'll take any recognition we can get for our efforts here.
