Round 3: Welcome to Tombstone

But first a special note of appreciation from our judges: Thank you
all for participating in this, the 7th semi-annual OFAPZ contest! We
know this is all for fun (and genuinely cool limited-edition prizes,
and acclaim, and increased reach and possibly new friends/enemies, but also fun too
also). But we truly enjoy the opportunity to review and discuss some
of the finest, and funniest, in Twitter craft. If you’re a little
bummed about being eliminated, we hope you will compete again. Some of
these matchups were very tough to judge and all of them were reviewed
sincerely and with the purest of intentions.

Okay, now on to our new topic: Epitaphs! Write a tweet explaining what
you want on your tombstone when you’re dead and buried. Or, write a
tweet involving a situation in which someone’s epitaph is the premise
of the joke. Or tell us about the best or worst tombstone engraving
you’ve ever seen. Anything epitaph-related will be accepted.

Please know that we’re serious about how much we’re honored for the
opportunity to “judge” this competition, and please submit your tweet

Stipulation: No dating, Interview, or courtroom scenarios and don’t even THINK about using the format “They died doing what they loved…”.

Deadline: 2/9/2018 11:38AM PST

Obscure For A Penny Zero: Se7en Round 2

by James

Round 2: Working Class Heroes

Congratulations on surviving the always brutal first round of OFAPZ!
Thank you to the 64 tweeters to whom we’ve said goodbye, and an even
bigger thank you to those who impressed the judges with your
140-character tweets. Now for a more traditional theme: Write a new,
original tweet about one of the following professions, which the
judges have no affiliation with whatsoever. Seriously. These were
chosen entirely arbitrarily. So have fun and feel free to mock
everything about any one of these lines of work. Don’t worry about
alienating anyone!

PROFESSIONS TO CHOOSE FROM:
Attorney
Ad Exec
Cable/Internet Installer
Realtor
Teacher

Millenial (i.e., Unemployed)

Manager of a job that is impossible to describe

Stipulations: Do NOT use an “interview” format.
Deadline: 2/7/2018 11:38AM PST

Obscure For A Penny Zero: 7EVEN Round:1

by James

Obscure For A Penny Zero: 7even

Round 1


Let’s move forward by going backward. Journey with us to a time long
ago, a mysterious era lost to memory. When primitive man and woman
were limited to 140 characters. Your challenge is to compose a tweet
using exactly 140 characters (or in technical Twitter parlance, with
the wheel thingymajig at the halfway mark). Note that any tweet that
doesn’t use exactly 140 characters will be automatically disqualified once both tweeters have submitted.
So don’t play yourself. But do tweet about whatever you want.

Remember: Your the deadline is 2/5/18 11;34am PST and must be turned into @theobscuregents account. You may submit anytime between the release of this theme and the deadline. Your battle begins the moment you and your opponent submit. You also will not know which tweet your opponent submitted until the battle begins.
