Gonzo's generosity today has inspired me. I'm going to give away some corals. Instead of a DBTC, this is simply a gift. Do with them what you will. The main conditions are that you have to come to my house and pick up your prize by Feb 7th. Fair warning: my fellow Parrotheads are going to have a distinct advantage in all 3 giveaways.
1. A few months ago, I was gifted with some Copper Pennies (aka Pink n Golds), no strings attached, and they've grown like mad in my tank. Spread out over my sand like a blanket. So I'm going to pay that forward, and offer up a colony of them. To win, you have to post up the real meaning of the song "Diamond as Big as the Ritz" by my favorite musician. 1st one to get it right wins.
2. At today's white elephant, we got a green Nepthya that I already happen to have in both my 180 and the nuvo, so I'm also paying this forward as a gift. To win this coral, you must explain my screen name (what song it applies to, what it means, etc). 1st one to do so wins. This one is the toughest one for non-Parrotheads, so I reserve the right to give clues. No clues necessary! MTMJR1992 wins.
"Fins Up!" is a command to put both hands above your head, palms together, to form your own shark dorsal fin. This is done for the song Fins, during which Jimmy instructs Parrotheads in a group 'swim' with the lyrics "Fins to the left! Fins to the right!" It's physically impossible for one to execute this move without smiling, so it's a Parrothead's way of sayin' "Smile! Life is good."
3. Also at today's white elephant, we got a green toadstool and 2 mushrooms, which, as it turns out, I already have (yeah, Mike's a big SPS guy, but I'm kinda a fan of leathers, zoas, and mushrooms, and I have lots of them). So I'm gifting these also. To win this one, I want you to post up the name of YOUR favorite song by MY favorite musician, and tell me why it's your favorite. Entries must be posted up by next Saturday (Feb 1st) at midnight. I will choose a winner Sunday morning when I wake up.
