The Deal
So, nothing has gone like it was supposed
to this summer. I could give you big, fat, sucky, juicy details, but I’d
rather give you Juicy Fruit and talk pulp—PULP INK, that is.
Nigel Bird
and
Chris Rhatigan invited me to be apart of their inspired, demented
project last spring and I jumped aboard. Each author was provided a
soundtrack title from Tarantino’s movie “Pulp Fiction” and asked to take
their own spin. I was given “Jack Rabbit Slims” and had a blast writing
it. I was tickled to pieces reading this entire collection, and not
only reading, but giggling away like a mad woman on a wild word hunt
BECAUSE:
The Decoding
I have a
Tarantino movie quote for you to uncover using the hints provided below.
You don’t have to purchase PULP INK to participate in this contest, but
it would help! You can purchase PULP INK at
Amazon,
B&N, and
Smashwords.
The Prize
The first five people to decode the quote will win a pack of Black
Jack, Juicy Fruit, Big Red, and Bubble Yum automatically! All
entrees will be entered for a
random drawing. The Grand Prize Winner
will receive a $25 Amazon card along with the afore mentioned
bubblegum-ages.
The Rules
1. Send your decoded entrees to my regular email address: jessjo (at) gmail (dot) com with the subject heading of BUBBLE YUM.
2. I will reply with a “Yay, you got it!” or “Loser! Back to the drawing board!” quickly as I can.
3. Everyone is welcome to play. Send as many entrees as you wish. Of course, stop when you get it right.
4.
Cheat as much as you want with two exceptions: A. Don’t ask a friend
who has figured out what the quote is -- Bad! Bad! B. Please don’t paste
your decoding entree guess as a comment in this blog post, send to me in
an email under the BUBBLE YUM subject line. I would love to hear your fav Tarantino quotes in the comment section, however.
5. You have until midnight next Sunday. Winner announced next day.
The Bubble
Why
does bubble gum keep coming up? First, I really love the thought of all
my fellow readers and writers blowing gigantic Bubble Yum bubbles while
nurses with big butterfly nets chase us around the gardens, down the
valleys, over the bridges, and through the woods to grandmother’s house
we… scratch that. There’s another reason, but you have to read “The $5
Mil Hak” in PULP INK to decode that.
Enough chat, more action: GO
