IWS #149 Results
I’m with Stupid #149 Results
Well, I guess this one went a bit too far. I thought this was a good idea, and that it would be pretty challenging. But it appears that I must have been less than clear with my instructions – I even gave several specific names of catalogs that one could check online to see the sort of color names that I had in mind. However, quite a lot of our entries went in quite a different direction – the most common “errant” direction seemed to be to try to name these colors in some sort of Izuldian fashion as if they were working for Victoria’s Secret, rather than L.L. Bean. Alas, many more 1s than we have ever seen. Once again, here were the color swatches:  And here are the submissions, I'm not taking a lot of time with this, for obvious reasons: plum plum plum plum plum grape grape grape grape lilac grape ape grape delight royal purple Perfect Plum midnight eggplant ocean blue barney clothes Viking Winter royalty royal tokyo Caesar's Robes Midnite midnight sky Okay, so plum is the winner here, and that’s fine. Actually, if each one split up more or less this way, I wouldn’t have been so disappointed. sky sky periwinkle thunderstorm dusk blueberry mariner blue ocean on a cloudy day bruise indigo water calm ocean lucious lavender Azure Twilight ocean columbine stormy day sky clothes A Summer's Eve freshwater slate cerulean Ocean Blue Royal dark periwinkle Damn, basically everyone got a single here. I was thinking periwinkle or sky here myself. topsoil topsoil cowboy leather honey brown sandalwood bark umber moss brown baseball glove leather poop coffee really dirty water earth autumn desire Chocolate Kiss loden olive mud clothes Touchdown Jesus soft bark sepia Comfy Leather spice smooth walnut Another dud. Just a lot of misses here, I really expected a number of “earth” or “coffee” sand khaki khaki sand sand khaki desert tan mocha desert cream heather natural apartment wall grey café au lait boring dust the natural Summer Sand canvas desert clothes Sandy Beach latte Mexican Sand straw sahara sand So, two ways to get three points, not terrible. If I were more charitable with the variations on “sand” maybe that would have helped, but I judged the specific effort to come up with something as offbeat as “Mexican Sand” to be pretty different than the straightforward “sand” which was the sort of thing I expected. eggshell eggshell eggshell ivory ivory fluffy kitty linen blanc ecru cream cloudy day snowy day angel pearl the man honky white snow forever pearl Frost White cotton clothes Angel's Wings foam Virgin White purity fresh snowflake Oh, well. At least you could have gotten 2 or 3 points here. Maybe. cranberry cranberry rose cherry crimson strawberry clown nose raspberry rouge wine cardinal circus red sunset vampire salsa tate stopsign red rose petal rose & raspberry Magenterrific fire clothes Evening Fantasy achtung Passionate Pink ripe raspberry And a complete miss. Sorry yet again. So, for our scoring… One is the loneliest number Green Caesar wade moore kingfc22 Touchstone Mustang EagleFan flere-imsaho st.cronin Toddzilla Got more than their name right Draft Dodger 15 cuervo72 15 Celeval 8 albionmoonlight 8 Kwhit 5 Karlifornia 4 cartman 3 PineTar 3 Subby 3 Shorty3281 3 CU Tiger 2 wbatl1 2 Coffee Warlord 2 Runners-Up Butter_of_69 24 digamma 20 And J. Peterman himself… your champion Anxiety 45 That has to be an all-time low for scoring… my apologies for the apparently misleading text. Glad we got participation nonetheless, and hope this game gets back on track anyway. |
