Smilie Contest:

Once there was a very happy little smiley named Bob. Bob was happy no matter what, and it tended to drive everyone around him insane. "His optimism is driving me crazy!" Cried and angry smiley named Bill one day. Many of his friends agreed. They decided to get rid of Bob. Their first idea was to hit Bob so hard he went crazy (even crazier than he already was) so that he would then stumble off a nearby cliff. But alas! Bob fell but landed happily on his trampoline. "Why is this not working?!?" Cired Bill in anguish. "We must think of another plan!" Then one of his friends, Benny, admitted to being a wizard. "I can turn Bob into something unpleasant!" He said. So he pulled out his magic wand :lightsabre: and turned Bob into a troll. However Bob was not swayed! "I am green! How lovely! Green is my favorite color!" Bill was struck by a sudden and strange piece of insight. Bob was naively happy and nothing would ever change that! So Bill, Benny and all their friends decided to join Bob in his quest for eternal optimism.
8) +

THE END!!!

ok, I'll enter the writing contest too:

Vendethiel could feel the wind in her hair as she flew along the forest path. Her horse galloped, urged on by her mistress at the joyful prospect of returning home. The elf maiden had been away for a long time and was looking forward to returning home, to her river city.

A line of trees appeared over the horizon, signaling the end of the flat plains. Home was close within that forest. Faster, faster, Vendethiel thought.

It was no time before branches and leaves were whizzing past her face instead of thin air as she rode forward. Just a bit further until she reached home. In fact, she should be seeing her people here and there any time now. Except, no one was there...

Vendethiel ignored this observation for the time being. There were plenty of explanations for the absence of people. Perhaps they were just nearer in today.

But she found this was not the case as she drew closer. No other forms of life seemed to be around; the only breath she could sense was her own.

A slight panic began to overwhelm her when she reached the city. Though the large castle-like building that was home to all of her people still stood, it was completely empty. Of course Vendethiel could only see this from a ways off, but more than that she could feel it. Something about her home seemed darker; it had lost the glow and brightness it held in life.

Vendethiel urged her horse onward. Though she did not want to accept this disappearance, its pain still pierced her heart. The worst thoughts she could muster came to mind. Have they all been killed? Had everyone been lost? Of course not, she told herself. That was unreasonable. But if not that, then...what?

Perhaps she had not noticed them, she told herself foolishly. But Vendethiel clung to that last hope and rode off to the nearby river. Hopefully there she would find some sign of life.

However no apparent sign surfaced as Vendethiel approached the river. She dismounted and walked over. The large body of water still rushed along its path quickly, though it seemed everything else in her life had paused. She ran her fingers through the river. The water was frigid; everything felt as though it were dead. But Vendethiel would still not accept that assumption. They had all ran off, she said now. They have moved to a new location. Of course, they would send a messenger to her...only she had missed it! This logic satisfied Vendethiel for the moment. But now she knew not what to do.

Suddenly her eye caught something in the air. Smoke was rising, and not far off. Was it a camp, a group of people? Vendethiel cautiously moved forward. But as she approached, her senses caught a foul smell. This was no group of elves.

She spotted the orcs too late. "Hey!" One of them cried, and Vendethiel's eyes widened. Fear overcame her as she turned the other way, every inch of her praying to outrun the fierce orcs. She could feel their footsteps behind her as she raced toward her horse. Quickly she mounted and rode off at an even faster speed than which she had come. “Drego, drego!” she cried to her horse. Vendethiel kept going, only hoping she could make it outside the forest. Certainly they would not follow her there. Avo acheno, she told herself. Do not look back.

As the trees grew sparser and light shone more fiercely, Vendethiel knew the fields were near. Her horse galloped at the speed of light until they were finally out. Vendethiel patted her horse, calming him as he slowed down. Now she looked back to the forest, checking to see no one had followed. The trees were unmoving—there was no sign of others. Vendethiel sighed, realizing she had been holding her breath. But now that did not matter. Now she needed to find out what to do.

The shock of her people’s disappearance still held a tight hold on her. No thoughts would come, and all she could find herself to do was kneel and weep. Her long, dark hair became wet with her tears as she mourned for her people. Whether the orcs were to blame, or a greater force, or if they had all fled, Vendethiel still felt alone in the entire world.

But her sadness turned to determination after the feeling had passed. She knew now that no matter what, she would find her people, or at least live in a way to honor their memory. Darkness fell as Vendethiel got up onto her steed one more time. And this time, she swore, she would not get off until her promise was fulfilled.

and here is the sentence contest. not my best work, but I'm not that good with humor...

1. It was spring…on the planet Zeekophar in the Biloglob system eons away.
2. But I didn’t realize…the apple had a worm in it until I had bit into the fruit.
3. The pack of crazy llamas…all rushed toward the outhouse.
4. While I was in the airport….I ran into the fellowship near Flight 606 to Mordor
5. I never should have…assumed that the blood was red sauce
6. I have had this phobia of…red sauce since then.
7. It was a harsh winter…in 2003, because RotK was always sold out. *tear*
8. A little birdie once told me…never to listen to strangers.
9. What people don’t know about doctors is…they don’t know anything either
10. On the search and rescue for the rare pink elephant…we realized it was only covered in pink bubbles.
