Time For Pearls

[Edd]

We're fishing for "Pearls" at Oprano! We've started a new contest to make Oprano the "think tank of the adult internet"! The Great Oprano Pearl Search is ON! Oprano is going to pay out $250 a week fo the most infomative, thought provoking, interesting and unique post - the post that helps or challenges the Oprano Community! Two will be chosen, and Oprano is paying $150 for the first and $100 for the second! And there is NO LIMIT to the number of times you can win!

This is ONLY a prize incentive for you to POST PEARLS! This is NOT about volume of posting - its ONLY about getting more PEARLS! ANY post in ANY thread can be nominated by ANYONE. Heck you can EVEN submit a post from another board, as long as proper credit is given! Although we'd preferr the person responsible for the statement be a regular at Oprano, its not a requirement! To nominate a post, you must send a Private Message to one of the ADMINS - MikeAI, Serge, Edd or Mutt.

Hopefully, a little "cash prize" for the 2 BEST POSTS of the week will get the PEARLS flowing again here at Oprano! Remember, ANY post can be nominated by ANYONE, and our panel of judges will review all submissons and make a ruling!

So get PITHY and GET POSTING! You might just get a cash PRIZE! :yowsa:

[Mike AI]

The PEARL hunt is on!!

Oprano since its inceptions has been the "Think Tank" of the adult internet. We are now going to reward the deep thinkers, the critical thinkers, those with keen insights, or tough questions.

So put your thinking caps on....

[Edd]

THE PITH MUST FLOW....

[Tonda_WEGCash]

Congrats Oprano!

This is a good way to keep the gumbo fresh:) :yowsa:

[Mutt]

ok i'm on the hunt for pearls. funny posts should be considered as well.

[Cal]

Yeah do what the politicians do, if you can't get your own good material, pay for it! B)

C.

[Mike AI]

Exactly Cal....

And this Pearl Search is open to all, and applies only to Oprano. So if someone snags a post, or idea, or thread from another board, magazine, article, encycloedia, Colin's brain, etc... and throws it up on Oprano and it gets the attention of us... they could be getting a check for $150.... or $100...


Easy work....

The same people can win over and over and over again....


Oprano - More Ideas then a Think Tank!

I'll PERSONALLY vote to encourage MORE "hairy nipples" participation
;-)))

[MikeW]

I am a total moron. I have nothing wise and inspiring to say and I know it. So I guess that means I'm not a complete idiot ... uh, or something like that ....

now that right there could be a pearl, it just depends on the interpretation of the reader!

serge, no hairy nipples here! I pluck!!
:P

[Mutt]

but MikeW you are an artist. You can make profound statements without speaking.

make more Photoshop pictures of Serge having sex with famous people. :heil:

[Vick]

What about naked pictures of Minnie Pearl?

[Peaches]

serge, no hairy nipples here! I pluck!!

OUCH! I have to get boozed up just to do my eyebrows, lol! :blink:

[cj]

so i take it you've never had a brazilian peaches?

[Peaches]

so i take it you've never had a brazilian peaches?

NO! And I had a Brazillian housekeeper that made a LOT of money doing them and would have done it for free (like I could ever look at her again afterwards...... :o ). Shaving - good. Pulling hair out at the roots - bad. Between having a kid, getting my wisdom teeth cut out, having a bleeding ulcer and breaking a ton of bones, I'm finished paying people to hurt me :awinky:

[sextoyking]

LMFAO!!!!

classic picture for the scrapbook!!

[Dianna Vesta]

I have a hang over today. Don't drink without eating should be pasted on my head.

So the contest is for a Pearl or a topic? I'm missing something here. How do you know? By views or replies?

This is much better then paying per post. I still want a fancy wireless Palm Pilot.

[Cal]

I nominate Edd's signature for this week's prize.

[Dianna Vesta]

Ya know.... you should try everything at least three times- The first two times may have been dependent on your mood or the moon. If by the third time you still hate it then it's a pretty good guess that it's not for you!

That should be a pearl

[Billy]

Roses are red, violets are blue, serges cock is really start to turn blue ??

Hows that : )

[cj]

billy ... his cock is pink ... with pink fur ... duh don't you look at the avatars?!

[Billy]

CJ.. In case you have not noticed Serge's cock is like mood penis and here is the current cock handbook definations.

Golden Yellow: Tense. You have difficulty focusing and are easily bothered.
Blue: You are happy. really happy, kind of like having a butt plug!
Purple: Moody. Your emotions are erratic. Consider Prozac, again.
Black: Down. You are overburdened and confused. Check for a pulse.
Reddish brown: Insecure. Go piss with somebody on GFY.
Clear: You are using one of Todd's gifts, the cock you see is a fake; you are having financial difficulties.
Green: Easily amused. If you are still reading this, you are easily amused.

thanks for the vote, lads - but my Sig file doesn't actually qualify for a Pearl Reward as it has no real bearing on the adult industry. Granted, Buckaroo certainly is Pithy - just not too applicable.... :awinky:

Surely you've read someone's post that made you think - something HAD to trigger some sort of ponderance of your chose profession in one way or another... ANYONE? :blink:

[LadyLaw]

Billy!

Your mood cock definitions made me laugh to the end....I must be easily amused.

:unsure:

See you and Dee in Vegas!

You're so sweet!

CJ thanks on the funny vote.

I don't care about money. I like presents. I want one of those really fancy Palm Pilots with color, wireless, etc. I'm getting to the point where I have to remember so much shit my brain is getting crowded or old age is procesing shit slower. My brain feels like a huge fragmented hard drive and scan disk just doesn't work any more because of the browning. (does anyone know what this means?)

I don't trust PC's and backups. I have a 100 gig external EVERYTHING writes to and the most important data I transfer to CD. Still, I a woman on the go and need something to store passwords and stuff. Between my sites, all my admin shit and clients I can't keep up.

Does anyone have that HP Joranda or know anyone who has it?

I just like winning.

ANYONE and EVERYONE who posts, regardless of their affiliations.... And the Pearl can even come from another site!! :awinky:

[Krazy Dave]

I think, therefore I am, I think. At least, I think I must be. :unsure:

[Mike AI]

These are all good pearls.... but I have to be honest this past week, I have not seen any great insightful, educational posts.... I guess not every week can be a great pearl week.

I spoke with Serge, we have a good news bad news situation.

The bad news is there were not any PEARL material posts this week, and least in the opinions of Serge, Ed, Mutt and me.

The good news is that we will roll the Pearl Cash Prize over until we find one. That means instead of the weekly $150 for first and $100 for second, next week the Pearl Prize will be $300 and $200. It is kind of like the lottery....

So if you want to win, you have to Play ( eerrr or Post)

[cj]

wow, that was a really cool way to handle it!!!

let me guess, that wasn't serge's idea was it?!?!?!?

:D :P
