Prize for Nitwit of the Day
Miss Snark will be handing out this to all winners of "nitwit of the day".
Almost enough to make me want to enter. Or is that a nitwittish thing to say? I take it back, I didn't mean it really...no, please, no, not the clue gun...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...
OH! ME ME ME!! (Hops up and down and makes silly big armed gestures) I want one! I shall do my best to earn this honor and make you proud of me, Miss Snark!
*posting of this comment should be enough to persuade Miss Snark to include an extra large container of Clue Dust to power the gun*
I am guessing by the prior comments that what I saw when I clicked on THIS was not what they saw. What did you see? I got an error message from Geocities.
nadja, this is what I got: "The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer."
I think that Miss Snark posted the link and several thousand Snarklings immediately clicked on it - thus creating a bottleneck, traffic jam-type effect. Ha! Will check back later - after rush hour...
Just goes to show ya: proofread, proofread, then do it again!
Anyone can make a mistake like this. One of my fellow inspie authors posted the following goof: "Miss Amanda (age 80+), angry at Harry's nitwitted remark, raised her can and shook it at him."
There are some things spell check just won't catch, but we all got a much needed laugh out of it.

I'm Diying over here. I just don't get it! I think I'm going to lose my dinner. What the heck is a clue gun? ROFLLLLLLing
LOL! Now that's a clever idea!

Great, Miss Snark offers a prize and only four nitwits are eligible.
Doink!

A glue gun! We'll make those darling holiday wreaths together one of these days!
*laughs* Nice prize, Miss Snark! ^_^
Maybe the site temporarily ran out of bandwidth when you clicked it, Nadja. ^^ The rest of us saw a page offering a clue gun for sale. ^_^
offer up some pixie dust as well and they might try and reinvent the clue wheel!
And you can even order extra clue stix!
Clue stix! ROFLMAO!
Hmm, maybe I could use the glue gun to bind the pages of my mss before FedExing it to Ms Snark and her beagle.
It's a bit odd they won't sell a clue gun to anyone under the age of 18 ~seems this could be a large market for them ;-)

Oh come on. Ya need to read far enough to see that it's available from snarkazon.uk.
I'm still laughing. You're f-ing brilliant, Miss Snark.
No, wait! Who DID this? The hours that went into making up this spoof...it's mind-boggling!
Koodoos, and boy, do I hope you aren't writing in my genre!
