View source for Art:December Daily Doodles 2011

The [[December Daily Doodles]] is an event usually run by [[Apollo]] with a new contest every weekday for the entire month. Four days a week are forum events, and one day is dedicated to a [[familiar]] [[tournament]]. The weekends are covered by a guest host.

Doodles 2011 [http://forums.puzzlepirates.com/community/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=176772] is the seventh annual DDD. 2011 saw a change in hosts, with the first partial week run by Apollo, and subsequent weeks by various players, the "Able-Minions-Of-Stout-Heart".

==Week Zero: Topping Times! (Apollo)==

===Highs and Hopes (1st)===

''The task for today is to draw a picture on [http://artpad.art.com/artpad/painter/ ArtPad] which must represent TWO things - first, something that you are happy or grateful for that has happened in 2011, and second, something that you hope or wish will happen in 2012.''

'''Winners'''

*[[Lissanna]] of Sage
:(written on the back of a receipt from Hooters)

:'''background''': I live in my parents basement although I may get evicted soon. I have no job, no money, and no friends but as you can see from my CV what I lack of those I make up for in charm. 

:'''qualifications''': You said you wanted someone arty right? I once finger painted a horse on my wall with ketchup, mustard, and molasses, added glitter and feathers, and some raw chicken bits. My parents loved it, so much so that my mother fainted when she saw it. When I later cut it out of the wall with a buzz saw to get it framed my dad even cried at how wonderful it was. 

:'''skills''':I can read simple books as long as they have pictures, I know how to walk while chewing gum, and I can talk and chew obnoxiously loudly . 

:'''experience''' :I've never actually had a real job as I dont like working, or being on time, or showing up to things. Hopefully none of these are required. 

:'''personal qualities''': I don't have any personal ones (im not sure what a quality is) but if you need one Im sure I can steal it from somewhere. 

:'''hobbies''': I hate fun. But I do find playing in traffic the most tolerable of experiences. Oh and hamster throwing. When people try to talk to me I like to yell "CINCO DE MAYO" when they are mid sentence it spices up conversations. Im sure your clients will love it. 

:'''strengths''':I can go weeks without showering and have won tickets from the police for my outstanding parking abilities. 

:In summary please hire me because I am the best candidate for any job if you don't you are a stupid idiot. Also my parole officer says I have to go back to jail if I can't find a job but don't worry it wasn't anything bad (how was I suppose to know that wasn't a toilet?).

'''Winners'''
*[[Budclare]] of Malachite
:1. When you mistake the table for a plank and try to make people walk it under threat of being run through with a turkey leg, it's time to stop drinking...unless you were intending to be the evening's entertainment, in which case, good work, and yes, that fruitcake does look a bit like a fez. You should definitely wear it.

:2. A pie is not a pillow. Stop that.

:3. Please remember that sea shanties and drinking songs are not Christmas carols, regardless of how jolly you claim to be feeling.

:4. A hook is not an acceptable toothpick unless it's attached to your own wrist. No matter how much Christmas spirit your neighbor has, he or she is not feeling that generous.

:5. Crafting supplies make a wonderful gift for doodlers. Used crafting supplies, however, do not. No one wants your dried out glue sticks or empty paint tubes, not even if you put a bow on them. Just because it's called 'Secret Santa' doesn't mean we can't find out who it's from.

:6. Before trying the fruitcake, be sure you can tell the difference between the real one and the doodle replicas. It won't be edible either way, but doodlers get mad when you eat their artwork (except when they think it's funny).
*[[Mooseabuse]] of Midnight
:1. If fruit is to be served, monkey familiars should be removed from shoulders and seated at a separate table. In a separate room. Surrounded by an iron cage.

:2. Hors d'oeuvres may be eaten with a hook hand, but the main course should be eaten with a knife, unless the pirate has lost both hands.

:3. Pirates who need help catching and stabbing their main course should fold up a green bandana and display it on the left side of the plate. Pirates who wish to assist other pirates should display a pink bandana on the left side of the plate.

:4. A formal pirate banquet should have a minimum of six rum courses. Four is acceptable for a semi-formal party, three for a casual get-together. Fries are always served between courses of rum.

:5. Bones, shrimp tails, shells, fins, as well as eyeballs and lips (if not eaten) should be given to the dog, Karkinos, tiger, etc. on your left side. The pet on your right is for the usage of the pirate sitting to your right. For the hostess: it is considered bad form to provide herbivorous pets (sheep, ponies, elephants, moose, etc.) unless the meal is vegetarian.

:6. Be sensitive to other pirates' dietary preferences. Do not try to force a pirate to eat plaice if he only eats haddock, drink spiced rum if she prefers plain, etc.
