Threebies

On the plus side, it’s nice to see everyone getting involved with the 3 x 3 challenge and having a crack at this surprisingly addictive game.

On the minus, it seems that everyone has taken the chance to prove just how easy copywriting is. I’ll get my coat…

Before I go though, here’s my professional (that’s right everyone, PROFESSIONAL) stab at some of the trickier 3 x 3 challenges I’ve been set over the past few days. Enjoy…

Muppet Christmas Carol
Sir Michael Caine.
Will literally do.
Anything for money.

Gurning tubby rocker.
Befriends posh children.
Nothing sinister happens.

Man swallows alien.
Alien pops out.
Alien swallows everyone.

Back to the Future
Cool 80s kid.
Travels through time.
Snogs his mum.

Lonely, creepy dweeb.
Sees dead people.
Nobody notices Bruce?

Brokeback Mountain
Manly cowboys meet.
Become less manly.
Steady on lads.

The Crying Game

Man fancies girl.
Man gets shock.

Take rusty nail.
Plunge into eyeball.
Have more fun.

Andy Boulton - copywriter/world's least productive superhero crime fighter.

With a couple of years of copywriting under his ill-fitting belt, Andy loves the written word more deeply than his own estranged children. When he’s unchained from his keyboard at work, he writes short stories, articles and has even had a bash at playwriting. His main source of inspiration are the horrific cheese-nightmares that wrench him screaming from his sleep night after night.
