Springtime in Paris: A Newbie hosts a Write-Off

Apr 07 '04 (Updated May 30 '04)

The Bottom Line Only a few more days left--enter for your chance to win a dream vacation! (A vacation in your dreams, that is...)

I'm getting the hang of this place, little by little. So I've decided to host a sweet little spring Write-off of my own, my dearies...

The Springtime in Paris Write Off!

Now listen carefully, sparky: the object of this write off has to do with Spring and Foreign Countries. (Yes, for those of you who already inhabit exotic, far-flung places, that can include the boring old U.S.)

For example, anything that reminds you of Spring (spring cleaning, spring break, spring flowers, or...whatever...) or of a Foreign country or language (Even if it's imaginary). Entries can be reviews of products or places having to do with this theme or can be poems, short stories, etc...whatever you like.

The only two things you need to do (once you've done the writing) is to:
a) include a link to this page in your review;
b) post a comment with the URL of your review here; I'll try to keep it updated.
(Oh, and it's always nice to have some sort of reference to the write-off in the review title, but, of course, clever titles sometimes won't have room...)

[It has been made clear to me that I've made a faux pas in hosting my first write off: I've failed to do my homework, follow correct protocol and especially to provide the first entry.

({man speaking with a french accent}:"Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person. I blow my nose on you, so-called Arthur-king, you and your silly English Kannnnnnniggits.")

Yes, I know...I deserve it. But never fear, dear friends, it's coming right away.]

I hope you will all take pity on a silly newbie

({the same}:"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!")


and give it a try!

({again}: "Now go away, or I will taunt you a second time!")

But don't let time slip away! With Memorial Day (May 31st) Summer will be kicking in, and this Honeymoon will be over...
