- News Flash:
- The Czar awarded the one-thousandth ink of the restoration this week to (by Weak Week count) Greg Arnold. And, proving the Czar's job ain't so tough, The Week Weak Divination Squad officially entered the major leagues (oh yeah, big time) with its thoroughly vindicated prediction that Doyle and Smith would dominate the results of Week XXX. 'Nuff said.
- The Week in Loserdom:
- The e-ghost of well known former-Loser Peyton Coyner appeared mysteriously on LoserNet. No word yet on whether this was a chance apparition or the start of a regular haunting. Elsewhere, Loser favorite Jennifer Hart celebrated yet another birthday; she is 64.
- Results of Week XXX
- Summary: Week XXX* movie riddle ink was dominated by the most regular of the regulars, with a healthy dose of virgin ink mixed in. The top four for the year amassed twelve appearances as did the top-five lifetime inkers. Most of the other entries deemed worthy by our beloved Czar came from five first timers and two second timers.
The Siberian Express: This week's ticket to the tundra is a tie between Chris Doyle and Chris Doyle (for the Darva and Jonestown gags respectively). It's rare to win more than one T-shirt in a week, but he could have had three.
Score Losers: Chris Doyle took home the most ink, again, after a two-week dry spell. His five appearances push him past Jerry Pannullo for 26th lifetime. The sound of footsteps now echo in the ears of Jessica Mathews (currently two ahead of the suddenly hot Doyle). Smith and Genser each picked up an appearance on Ma Hart whose lead for the year still looks comfy.
- Week XXXIV:
- The Weak Week Prediction: Week XXXIV* is the best contest to come down the road in some time. Look for lots of entries and lots of ink. One or two of the regulars will rack up big ink, but we can expect a lot of singles and doubles too.
The Weak Week Word to the Wise (WWWW): It will be easy in this contest to go for the cheap laugh, but the competition will likely be too stiff for that. This is definitely a week to avoid the overly scatological.
Messing With The Czar: This week's challenge: The Weak Week has learned that the Czar sometimes checks how a contest is going by scanning the incoming entries during the week. This week's MWTC is to hold all your entries for e-mail or fax on Monday September 25.
Week XXXIV Overall: On a one-seventeen scale, sixteen being best, Week XXXIV gets a:
Plenty of room for creativity with just enough structure.
