Thanks for tuning in ladies and... well... whatever the rest of you are...
Today marks the most historic moment in yourwasted lives as we embark on this momentous journey into the great unknown! That's right! The Do Something Challenge 2024 Season begins now! As in the past, this season will run for 8 weeks. Each week ends at Midnight on Saturday, regardless of when the next week's thread is posted. And, along with all the other standard rules (click here for said rules), the fine folks at WTGF have concocted
Yes Indeedy! This announcement is guaranteed to turn @DrewJD82's Brown Eye Blue! Nevermind all the Taco Bell and Milwaukee's Best it took to prime that pump... see above, re: don't question magic!
What is it you ask? What could be so stupendously magical that all of YOU will want to get in the game on this one? Fame? Fortune? A lifetime supply of bad dad jokes?
NO! Well, yes, I guess that part does, but NO! That's not what awaits the winner or winners!
In the never-ending quest to achieve bigger and better, we studied all those who came before us in the anal'ed halls of radio history! From Howard Stern's ill-advised phone call to Air Florida that promptly got him fired, to the legendary WKRP turkey drop we anal-ized, we watched, we learned. We said the word "anal" too many times...
And, then we decided not to do any of that stupid #$%#, instead we decided to launch something so amazing that it would honor the efforts of all our incredible
TGF Recording Artists...
: insert dramatic pause:
: continue pause for even more drama:
: keep pause going too long and now it's getting annoying:
: try to stop pause but button isn't working:
: panic:
: smash button with variety of objects at hand such as a rubber chicken, leftover 7-11 burrito, 1996 Korg tuner, @Iron1's IQ... wait, that last one was entirely too small to make an effective hammer:
: question life choices:
: realize all this time was spent hitting the pause button:
: push play button:
OK WE'RE BACK!!!
But, first a word from our sponsor!
I wish we had cool toys like Log when I was a kid... can't wait for the Kemper Log to drop. It already did? Crap! Guess I'm heading to Guitar Depot today...
Anyhoo...
Where were we?
Oh yeah, the GRAND EST GRAND PRIZE OF ALL GRAND EST PRIZE GRANDS err... wait...
:re-reads cue card - mumbles unintelligiblely:
Ok, here we go:
The 2024 Do Something Challenge Season One Grand Prize is -
Err, sorry about that... stupid commercials alway interrupting the good stuff...
While we get this question all the time, the answer is: not really.
"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?" you ask?
Well, the almighty @David Lo Pan is opening up the very first TGF Youtube Channel. At the end of the season, the top 5 submitters will be offered the opportunity to have their two favorite submissions added to a 10-track Youtube Compilation Album, sponsored by WTGF! To clarify, "Top 5 submitters" is the 5 peeps who post the most qualified entries.
Like most actual recording contracts, you get nothing, have no rights and can't actually prove you had a recording contract. So, bear that in mind. Wait, I don't think we were supposed to tell you that part... what? Oh, I guess it's ok since WTGF is a fake radio station and not an actual blood-sucking record label.
Anyway, the top 5 submitters will have one week after the end of Season One to submit their two favorite entries to David for inclusion in the first TGF YouTube Do Something Challenge Compilation album. Don't call it just a playlist, it cheapens the illusion...
We are looking for someone who would love to help create the videos when the time comes >cough< @Moondog Wily >cough< so if you have solid video making skills and would like to join the entirely unpaid, often make-believe, staff of WTGF, please send a message to @Iron1
In the event of a tie, pistols at 40 paces will determine the winner... wait... HR says we can't do that anymore ever since the "Danny" incident... I miss him sometimes...
So, if there is a tie, we'll decide what to do about that when the time comes cause we're no where near organized enough to have thought of a solution for that yet. What do you think this is, a legit thing? Sheesh...
Now, what are you doing staring at the computer screen - GO! DO SOMETHING!!!!
