Much as I hate to give this a thread of its own, it *is* slow tonight.

So, uh...am I doing this challenge right?

Christ, this is a screamingly esoteric - albeit potentially quite fun - challenge, innit? o_O

From the Uxbridge English challenge. See all 639 entries (closed)

you've well and truly compoed it.

Hmm. Dunno if it fits.
I'd have said "wardrobe - dressing gown worn in hospital" or similar.

It's still quite woo.

I agree totally, but then how could you shop that

and make it in any way funny?

That's what I don't fully get about this compo, to be honest. Most of the visualisations wouldn't be in any way amusing if the Uxbridge thing was stuck to rigorously - your example right there, for instance, would be a picture of a man wearing a dressing gown in hospital, which is quite normal.

:P

i think you've taken it on perfectly

it is a very verbal game normally, but that's why it's a good challenge, makes people think :D
