Because we don't have as many giveaways as we used to, here is something. It's just a small competition/excercise. Everyone take part, even if you're not in for the game. If you win, you get bragging rights at least.
This is a story that happened to my grandparents when they were young (in the 1950s/60s). I obviosly can't vouch for its authenticity, it could be an urban legend for all I know, but they assure me it's real. It's not super hilarious or anything, more of a you-had-to-be-there type of situation, but it was told to me while I was driving through a fog and it made me chuckle.
So, one day they were driving through thick fog. It was a small rural road in Poland, and given that it was the 1950s or 1960s, there were not many cars anyway. It was dark and the fog became so thick, you could see almost nothing. At one point it was so bad that my grandmother had to get out of the car and walk in front of the car and guide my grandfather with a torch.
They're getting really worried when suddenly they see two red lights in front of them: another car. They follow it and after a while both of them feel relieved. All the anxiety is gone: everything is easy now; you don't have to worry, just follow those two lights in front of you. Just as my grandfather was getting really relaxed, the car in front of them stopped suddenly.
So they stop behind it. Not sure what's going on. After a while they hear the sound of a door being opened, and then see an irritated man approaching them, who...
So:
Complete the story! What do you think happened next?
If you also want to be in, I have a spare copy of Blocks That Matter to give away. Just mention you're in. random.org will select the winner from all entrants, however entries that:
_are funny/creative.
_are close to the truth.
will increase their chances of winning.
Or if you just want to participate, mention that you're not in.
Blocks That Matter is a great game by the way. If you love puzzle platformers, give it a try.
Fine print:
Anyone can enter. Everyone is welcome. No rep or join date requirements. However I reserve the right to refuse any entry. I most probably won't happen, unless you're a real prick, but I'd like to reserve the right just in case, so there are no complaints later.
