The Irish Niceness Challenge!

UPDATED IN THE NEXT ARTICLE!

Many years ago, the Irish Community paper held a small writing lottery. The premise was that you chose an eIrish citizen and wrote something nice about them. Later, one name was pulled from a hat at random to decide who would win the prize.

I liked that idea a lot and have decided to bring it back (and alter it slightly).

The rules are simple.
1.) Choose an eIrish citizen who is NOT in your political party or military unit and write something genuinely nice about them. No backhanded compliments.
2.) You must use at least twenty (20) words. There is no maximum.
3.) Send me the link to your article by midnight on Friday 21st March, 2014.
4.) You must be an eIrish citizen.

Keep in mind that I am currently using Eastern Daylight Time (Ontario).

I will use a random number generator to select the winners.
I will announce the winners on Monday 24th March, 2014.

I will be giving 2 Gold to first name and 200 IEP to the second name.
I know it's not much, but I don't have much to give.

Donations will be accepted to increase the pot size. You can give publicly or anonymously. All donation amounts will be disclosed in the article announcing the winners.

That is all. Have a pleasant day.


How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Ask Harrilal!
How it works: I take the first five (5) questions asked in the previous article's comment section and answer them however I see fit.

micutzu asks, "How are Jamaican girls?"
As with all people, it entirely depends on the girl in question. Some are quite normal and down to earth. Others are rather uppity and ready to scrap at a moment's notice. There are all sorts in Jamaica (and everywhere else). I rather enjoy the company of one in particular because we mess with the average Canadian's perceptions every time.

She is a Chinese descended Jamaican and I am a Trinbagonian who happens to be white. Considering the average person immediately thinks black (and in Jamaica's case, Rastafari), the shocked looks are classic when they hear our accents.

John Gormley asks, "Is it true that cannibals won't eat clowns because they taste funny?"
Yes. It is true. They also shy away from the members of KISS, mimes and certain professional wrestlers. It turns out that the clown's sense of humour is not actually a viable defense against cannibals. The common denominator is the face paint.

ian arbuckle asks, "Do you watch hurling?"
I do not. However, I do watch lacrosse when I get the chance. It's not the same, but there are many similarities. If I were in RL Ireland and had ready access to it, I probably would.

I know these two were directed to castaneda, but I'm scraping the barrel this article to make 5.

moomoohead asks, "Did Tib Leave?"
Judging from the dead citizen label, it appears so.

moomoohead asks, "When you going to get over to the new old timers unit?"
I'm already there! Pay attention!

And that’s five (barely)!
Remember folks! The first five (5) questions asked in the comments of this article, will be answered in my next article!
Thanks for reading!
