On Friday, over at my MySpace page, I ran a contest, the prize of which was a signed, well-worn, aromatically-seasoned pair of my old Vans… The contest was simple: come up with a subtitle for “Clerks II”. The jist: create a subtitle for “Clerks II”, along the lines of “South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut”, or “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo” (neither of which were eligible). Considering the fast food setting, I was looking for something like “Clerks II: Hold the Pickle” (also not eligible, since I already came up with it). The best double-entendre or most creative subtitle was to win the stinky sneakers, signed and personalized. The contest ran for 24 hours, so by the end of page 21 of 27 pages worth of entries, we had all the eligible contestants. There were some great ones, yes; but most surprising is how many people apparently think alike. By the end of the list, however, I was pretty convinced the name of the flick should remain simply “Clerks II”. But that’s not to say there weren’t some clever-ass fuckers dropping suggestions. Honorable Mentions went to… John for his naughty suggestion of Gonz for his even naughtier Milke for his ingenious wordplay of Gav for his sexily suggestive Hunter for taking it old school with The Jer for his McDonald’s-inspired Adam for the pretty funny Mike for the simple fucking brilliance of Owen for the alliterative zombieplatypus for the very cute 2 Cows Fighting for a personal fave Ashley for the Pierce Brosnan call-back (and oddly on-point) Jennifer for the “Snakes on a Plane” riff of Josh for the literary Jason for the Matty Damon referenced Jennifer for taking me back to high school with CJ for the true double-entendre of ElvX for remembering his film history with both One, Two, Three and to the George for the porn title Kelvin for the ever-fun Rodger for his pimp-daddy suggestion And a pair that were on the same page: Gonz and Ward for the good and slightly improved subtitles of But the grand prize winner – the dude who walked with the stinky-ass pair of sneakers, signed and personalized – was Joe for his timely (and pretty film-appropriate) suggestion of Honorable Mention winners didn’t walk empty-handed either: they’re getting a “Clerks II” can cooler in the mail! Good times, good times. Comments»The URI to TrackBack this entry is: http://silentbobspeaks.com/wp-trackback.php?p=248 No comments yet. RSS feed for comments on this post.
