Obscure For A Penny Zero X: Round 2

by

If there’s one thing we love here at OFAPZ, it’s an incredible first round. Thank you all for sharing your wide-ranging takes on nostalgia.

If there are seven things we love, they’re pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth. That’s right, we’re reprising one of the hottest topics in the history of our contest. It’s heaven and hell, oh well.

Theme: Seven Deadly Sins. Write a tweet riffing on the concept of the seven deadly sins, any one or several of the listed sins themselves, create your own sins, ponder the penalties for committing sin, or tweet a video of you committing all seven simultaneously (please don’t).
Stipulations: Listen vatos, we’re not going to go to the trouble of investigating who tweeted first or second, but please avoid copying your opponent’s premise as some kind of strategic chess move. When the judges see a matchup where both tweets just “happen” to be about being in the back of an Uber and having a conversation about sin with the driver, they just end up hating both. And this is about love. Don’t kill the love.

Deadline: 3/13 11:34am PST

OFAPZ X: Round One

It’s hard to believe that Obscure For A Penny Zero is already 10 years old! (Editor’s Note: It’s not. Our blog writer doesn’t know the difference between our 10th contest and a 10th anniversary). It seems hard to believe that we’ve been hosting this twitter contest since 2009 (Editor’s Note: We haven’t. This is the 10th contest, not the 10th year.) Even Twitter itself has changed so much! (Editor’s Note: That part is true).

So let’s celebrate our 10th anniversary (Editor’s Note: 10th contest) by going all the way back to 2009 (Editor’s Note: It was 2015) and reprising our first ever theme.

Theme: Nostalgia. Tweet a nostalgic observation, sentiment or vignette, or tweet about the experience of nostalgia itself.

Restrictions: New content only.

Deadline: 3/8/2019 11:34am pst

Post your tweet to your own timeline and then copy-paste the text to @theobscuregents

Note: The Deadline was always going to be 3/8/2019 so these are bonus days for you all.
