Obscure For A Penny Zero 6: From Ashes We Rise FINAL 4

Boom! Here we are, fam. The Final 4. Seems like just yesterday, 128 contestants set out on this journey. And round by round–Bang! Bang! Bang!–they fell, until just you battle-hardened handful remain. So close to victory you can taste it. Sluuurrrrrp! (Victory is a soup, FYI fam.)

Theme: If you haven’t guessed it yet, the theme is Onomatopoeia. Phonetic sound-words, of comic books and advertising jingles fame. Plop-plop them into a tweet. If you need help understanding the concept, check out the Wikipedia article: http://bit.ly/2uvFGu5 

Due: 9/11 11:34am PST

Instructions: Tweet must be both posted and DM’d to @theobscuregents by the date and time above.

Reminder: Tweet as many or as few potential entries as you want. Submit as soon as you wish or wait until the deadline. Judging will not commence on your match up until both you and your opponent have submitted your tweets. If you have any questions for the judges, DM them to @theobscuregents. Additionally, please remember that Obscure Gent himself is not a judge, gets no vote, and is barred from expressing his opinion or attempting to sway the judges. In this way, we protect your anonymity and the integrity of the contest.
