I'm sorry, LadyShea, you have some excellent crap - truly, the bodiless heads and headless bodies are great, but Imma go with lisapea's murder weapon phones.

[Deadlokd]

This is a pretty crappy contest.

No seriously, what is this about?

[Crumb]

[Demimonde]

It's a crap contest of course. I had to give bonus points for imaginative assemblage. I can picture the cd/knapkin holder dealie and the plant stand covered in keyboards.

Plus:

clown head

This description on the other hand leaves plenty up to the imagination. In a good way.

[freemonkey]

This is too hard.

Is it who has the best crap or who has the crappiest crap?

Also, you two may actually have me beat, but I have not set my crap to paper, so.... I don't know.

[livius drusus]

I'm not for sure yet, but I'm leaning towards Shea because a lot of lisarea's crap used to be useful.

[vremya]

Debbie Reynolds clinched it for me.

[Crumb]

She refuses to do that for me...

That's a fair cop. But I stand by my decision to claim the murder phones.

[D. Scarlatti]

She's lying. The clown head is in my fridge.

[LadyShea]

Yeah the last minute Debbie Reynolds addition fucked me. Also, I couldn't see the closet so there's a bunch of hoard missing.

[Gonzo]

Plus she got to go second. Giving her the chance to review your crap. Aren't there any crappy rules to a crappy contest?

EDIT They seem to have been posted one minute apart. This is well organized.

You act like I only had the one clown head.

DO YOU THINK I'M POOR OR SOMETHING?

[Gonzo]

Who sympathy voted for LadyShea? Herself? =O

[livius drusus]

Whoa. I had no idea lisarea was ahead by such a huge margin. She probably used a Weston Amp Voltmeter, 2 of the 500 model rotary phones and the small broken tripod to create a Visual Basic GUI and hack into our polling mainframe.

[LadyShea]

Actually I voted for lisarea...Debbie Reynolds! I didn't know she had the big guns at hand when I challenged her.

ETA: Also, I underestimated the Geek

[Qingdai]

I'm still not sure of the challenge, but I add one Thai rice sorter to the mix.
Plus a collection of cleaned out yogurt tubs.

I vote LadyShea, because I vote fireworks!

I've just got sparklers.

[Adam]

I was going to sympathy vote for Shea, but lisamus came out on top thanks to her innovative filing system, in which flash drives and flash lights go together in the same Altoids tin.

[LadyShea]

See! Geek.

[slimshady2357]

I voted for LadyS based on this:

Box of fireworks about 3ft by 2ft

And the fact I assumed I was voting for who has the coolest crap.

Of course if the voting is for who has the most totally useless crap, then my vote has to be changed.

[godfry n. glad]

I dunno....the chest of yarn appeals.

But I agree with liv, despite the greater number of items, I'd say that not only were more of lisapea's once useful, many are still potentially useful. Whereas, it seems that LS has much less potential, and thus is more crap.

I haven't voted yet.

Was this 'pick the worst closet', 'who has the crappiest, most cluttered with bullshit'?
