http://antihousewife.com/2010/11/a-perfect-turkey-how-to-brine-roast/?shared=email Mother! Tell your children not to @ my way! And so on and so forth. Welcome to a frightful edition of Team OFAPZ.
What is this contest? Well it’s teams of 5 tweeting out per a given theme. Your tweets go head-to-head with a rival team and are judged blindly by 11 judges who love to laugh, write and create for a living, and aren’t obsessed with Twitter. We’re talking real diversity and inclusion here at OFAPZ Inc. Various ages, races, genders, and walks of life represented among our judging panel.
Your tweets are submitted anonymously, with text only so the judges can’t see your AVI or your handles. You are each placed in a bracket seeded by overall team follower count. Much like any tournament in los desportes. That’s Spanish for “the despots.” Since there are five members per team, whichever team wins a best of five matchups moves on to the next round. The losing team gets to hang out in the mentions.
Most importantly, we are doing this to support an important cause. The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people under 25.

FAQS
Q: Can I tweet as much as I want?
A: Yes, we want you to be be proud of the tweet you’ve submitted. There’s also something to be said for the psychological angle of the contest, leaving your opponent guessing which of several potential tweets you’ll actually submit. Tweet as many possible submissions as you like and pick the one you want to do battle.
Q: Can I ask the judges or @Obscuregent if my tweet fits the theme?
A: No, you silly goose. You literal goose, stealing the farmer’s corn and shitting all over the sidewalk! If you have to ask, it probably doesn’t fit. We’ve got some real theme-police on this panel of judges so just make sure you’re as close as possible.
Q: Is this contest rigged?
A: This contest takes a lot of time and effort on the part of the judges and the administrator (especially the administrator and the editor of these write ups). Rigging this would be the biggest waste of time on all of Twitter, and that’s saying something. Also go fuck yourself, buddy!
Q: What If I dope my tweets to make them big and mighty? Can I dope the results?
A: That’s the beauty of blind judging. The judges don’t see the metrics on your tweets and aren’t swayed by them. Your tomfoolery has no power here!
Q: I’m blocked. Can I still participate?
A: No, because you did something to annoy The Gents or you’re racist or you saw The Joker by choice three times in the theater.
