Here's a song taken straight from my own DeviantArt portfolio ( <a href='http://silentperfection.deviantart.com/' target='_blank'>http://silentperfection.deviantart.com/</a> )
Wrote it (and performed it wooo) to my GF a couple of weeks back.
<i> If I let go of you Id have to stay in the dark All…alone…
I'm shaking as I write this to you Trembling not knowing what to do I look back on what could have been Then look forward to what could be
I've totally fallen for you
I'm shaking as I write this to you Trembling not knowing what to do I look back on what could have been Then look forward to what could be
I've totally fallen for you
Like an angel from high up in the sky You're shining down on me now that it is nigh All I want to do is be beside you Because loving and caring is what I do
I've totally fallen for you
I'm shaking as I write this to you Trembling not knowing what to do I look back on what could have been Then look forward to what could be
Pasting my romance all over you Knowing that you want me to Love and care for you
I've totally fallen for you, I've totally fallen for you I've totally fallen for you, I've totally fallen for you</i>
Edit: Yes I am sad before anyone says so <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I could create a short narrative with photos utilizing a cheap digital camera, my mother's bottle of Zinfandel and my pet cat. However I fear retribution from cat-lovers the world over.
<b>Bundle 6</b>: generic 300w power supply <b>How to win</b>: be willing to pay the shipping charges.
<b>Bundle 8</b>: GeForce 4 Ti4400, RatzPad Mousepad <b>How to win</b>: write a poem, a story, draw a picture, or even sing a song if you want about.. erm... whatever. I'll pick the best one.
I'll end the contest by 7PM CST *TOMMORROW* so be sure to have your entries for bundle 8 in by then!
That works on so many levels, both as a protest to the objectification of women everywhere, and as well as a testament to the commercialization of the long forgotten family dinner.

I'll take bundles 5 and 6 if you really can't get rid of them. I'll need a power supply for the motherboard from bundle 7, anyway.
And for #8? I don't think i have much of a chance, having already won something, but I made this in response to www.itsatrap.net and a typo that someone (fool?) made in IRC:
Umm.. it's past 7 central, but if i can i'd like to enter anyway for 8. A friend and i are trying to build a computer for someone at work who has very little to no money. He wants to be able to play games at decent frame rates but as i said, has very little cash to spend on it. Right now we're a little over budget i think, but this could really fix that nicely.

I know this is completely against the rules you specified, but if you have a copy of "Little Big Adventure" that will run in XP (other versions I have found are so old that I'd have to setup DMQ settings etc.) then I would gladly take it off your hands.
It's a stab in the dark but... (yes that is another death threat <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
Once again you all did a great job (especially you Caboose, too bad you had already won :P), but in the end I feel Ed had the most entertaining story. Very original, and completely out of the blue too. And with pictures no less! Congrats, I'll be contacting you shortly...
Here again is the list of winners! Congratulate them! <b>Bundle 1</b>: AMD 750Mhz CPU, Motherboard, 3 Sticks of RAM (1 of which is dead), and Voodoo 3 <b>Winner</b>: Plaguebearer
If you won and you still haven't already done so, be sure to send me an e-mail with your name and address. I'm going to send out a group mail to all the winners soon to detail what I'm gonna do about shipping.
Hope you guys enjoyed the contest. It was fun for me to give the stuff away too. I hope its all found a good home. And to those who didn't win, cheer up. Next year I'll probably have another pile of crap... :P
