I will tell you the sad tale of the Beauty Contest...

Outlaw is tending her shop with Zlacha, her red zafara. Zlacha tugs on Outlaw's trechcoat, telling her that the beauty contest is over. Excitedly, she heads to the Beauty Contest. Zlacha is as excited as Outlaw is as they look at the zafara votes. But they are crestfallen when they see the top three winners. All are copy-and-paste with poorly drawn accessories! Zlacha is disappointed and Outlaw is just plain angry. She spent an hour and a half on a beautiful pic while the winners spent five minutes on thiers. Outlaw won't let this go, she'll do something about it...


That was a true story. That has happened every time I've entered the beauty contest, and my pets and I have had enough of it. I've decided to take a stand and stop copy-and-pasting! It's not fair to the artists that spend time on their pictures.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, when you get to Scene 20 on post 45 stop and go to post to finish the story. Please read, it's quite funny.

There, cutting and pasting isn't all that bad. I just gave you hours of entertainment and it only took me 20 minutes. Read 45 before 46 please.

Oh, I hate it when it can't get everything down. Here are the remaining scenes in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, fresh from copy and paste, starting with scene 20. ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- - Scene 20 ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ----- Tim the Enchanter ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ----- [King Arthur music] [clop clop clop] [music stops] [boom] KNIGHTS: Eh. Oh. See it? Oh. Oh. ARTHUR: Knights! Forward! [boom boom boom] [boom boom] [squeak] [boom boom boom boom] What manner of man are you that can summon up fire without flint or tinder? TIM THE ENCHANTER: I... am an enchanter. ARTHUR: By what name are you known? TIM: There are some who call me... 'Tim'? ARTHUR: Greetings, Tim the Enchanter. TIM: Greetings, King Arthur! ARTHUR: You know my name? TIM: I do. [zoosh] You seek the Holy Grail! ARTHUR: That is our quest. You know much that is hidden, O Tim. TIM: Quite. [pweeng boom] [clap clap clap] ROBIN: Oh. ARTHUR: Yes, we're-- we're looking for the Holy Grail. Our quest is to find the Holy Grail. KNIGHTS: Yeah. Yes. It is. It is. Yeah. Yup. Yup. Hm. Mm. ARTHUR: And so, we're-- we're-- we're looking for it. BEDEVERE: Yes, we are. GALAHAD: Yeah. ROBIN: We are. We are. BEDEVERE: We have been for some time. ROBIN: Ages. BEDEVERE: Umhm. ARTHUR: Uh-- uh, so, uh, anything that you could do to, uh-- to help... would be... very... helpful. GALAHAD: Look, can you tell us where-- [boom] ARTHUR: Fine. Um, I don't want to waste any more of your time, but, uh, I don't suppose you could, uh, tell us where we might find a, um-- find a, uh-- a, um-- a, uh-- TIM: A what...? ART

SOLDIER #1: Pull the other one! ARTHUR: I am,... and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master. SOLDIER #1: What? Ridden on a horse? ARTHUR: Yes! SOLDIER #1: You're using coconuts! ARTHUR: What? SOLDIER #1: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together. ARTHUR: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through-- SOLDIER #1: Where'd you get the coconuts? ARTHUR: We found them. SOLDIER #1: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical! ARTHUR: What do you mean? SOLDIER #1: Well, this is a temperate zone. ARTHUR: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land? SOLDIER #1: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate? ARTHUR: Not at all. They could be carried. SOLDIER #1: What? A swallow carrying a coconut? ARTHUR: It could grip it by the husk! SOLDIER #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It'

I think youve got a point and im not trying to be mean but C&P is very useful at times and I have not cheated on it before. You could just ask the neopets people to not accept C&P drawings. stealing someone elses work is plain wrong, but C&P is still VERY useful.

Note that Mayhoffer COPIED and PASTED his signature from another in a completely different petition. It seemed relevant upon first realization, but now I'm beginning to question my "point", or whether this post has a point at all. :-( *mid-life crisis*

I was reading this and had to fart. Then i did, cause everyone else is out to lunch. But I let out a little squirt and it was so wet it went through my boxers. Now there is a wet spot on my pants and a little one on my chair. It stinks. What should I do? Shit!

NEOPETS. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm sorry for the pain that your stupid computer programs have suffered. I hope they don't become depressive and begin to rip out their own feathers (or, more appropriately, PIXELS, loser).
