[THON] IRKs for Art: Show Us Your Hand Turkey (Maybe Win Something)
13Remember those hand turkeys we all made in grade school? We want a taste of those simpler times with a (virtual) room full of the things, only we’re not allowed to do contests with kids anymore ever since that Casemates mixup with our daycare donation last Christmas.
So we need your help. Use MS Paint. Use /showme. Use crayons. Use whatever’s near you. But make a turkey. The worse, the better. Or maybe the better, the better. Hard to say. But somehow, someone is going to win an IRK about it.
Submissions are open until the end of the 'thon. Winner(s) will be selected in the morning during post-mehrathon office hangover tomorrow.

Contest Disclaimer: Art is subjective and judging is hard. If you didn’t win but think you should have, there’s a good chance you’re right. We’ll do our best, though. If you don’t win a prize, just remember that ALL PRIZES ARE IRKs and that IRKs are the definition of disappointment and regret. Not winning one is like not winning gum on your shoe. We’re probably saving you a trip to the donation center. All disputes associated with the Game will be decided by binding arbitration and you and McDonald’s hereby waive the right to assert claims in any class or representative action.

/showme the first place winner of the meh 'thon turkey art contest.
@mediocrebot Oh…that’s pretty meh bot.
@therealjrn diabolical
Now this I’m ALL about! Making one after my dentist appointment today.
@sillyheathen see if you can sneak one in before the nitrous wears off
@jouest @sillyheathen
I gobbled up that little gem
@jouest I wasn’t supposed to have nitrous but now methinks there may need to be a change in plans…




@jouest @sillyheathen I love nitrous! Ihad it for the first time for my 2 tooth extractions this year and it was fantastic.
@jouest @Kyeh it’s my preference if I have any major work done. My anxiety has lessened in the last few years. I’ve been dealing with crappy dental genetics since I was little. I can brush and floss 2-3 times a day and still get cavities. It’s nuts. Apparently a dentist once told me it had to do with some antibiotic my mom took when I was in utero but who knows. It is interesting because my sister alternately used to go days without brushing or flossing and only got her first cavity when she was in her early 30s. Genetics are strange and fascinating from a math and science standpoint.
@jouest @sillyheathen Huh, that IS interesting, although unfortunate for you! My whole family has tooth problems. I wish I’d known about nitrous before now! It’s great that it clears your system so fast too, because I was able to drive myself home after both appointments. Good luck with the dental work.
![GROK made this one for me. Is that cheating?][1]

@Star2236 nice!
@Star2236 That’s great!
@Kyeh @Star2236 it’s ace!
Vote with your stars, everyone. It might go into deciding the winner. there’s no way to be sure.
@jouest So we can’t vote for all of them?
/showme a crayon colored hand turkey drawn in the shape of a cat paw because cats don’t have fingers or an opposable thumb.
/showme a realistic turkey in the shape of a hand that is determined to win the hand turkey contest so he’s busy gobbling up all of the other entries so he’ll win the contest.
Too literal?

@ybmuG Very clever!
@ybmuG
I love it. Thinking on your fingers lol
@Star2236 it was hand made!
Well I would’ve loved to have spent way more time on this but sadly I have other ish that I need to get done before the tallest has his band concert tonight. So I present for your viewing regret…. The Great Giant IRK-y!
@sillyheathen
That’s very good. I can’t draw for shit. I love it.
@Star2236 I’m one of those weirdos that loves everyone’s drawings. People say they can’t draw but they can. Art is all about the expression of the person making it. Jackson Pollock is a prime example. And if you tell yourself you can’t, then you won’t. But honestly I think if you don’t enjoy it you shouldn’t force it. I think people, myself as well at times, just get too hung up on “good” or “perfect”. You just gotta let go and do your thing.
@Star2236 this was a quick sketch between getting things done after being sick for four days. I probably would’ve gotten WAY too carried away had this been a few days ago when I was couch bound.
@sillyheathen It’s perfect!
@sammydog01 I wanted glen to be a more prominent snood but I didn’t have time to make that happen without him looking ridiculously phallic.
@sillyheathen
I think you might be the one person that could
enjoy my singing.
oh crap we weren’t expecting good ones
@jouest Using talent is totally cheating.
@jouest Give out more than one irk - that is likely rounding error in meh’s budget
Or resort to pulling one out of a hat which has been done sometimes in the past
Or give all the people entering one which has also been done in the past
(Nothing to color this in with)
Too late to edit - A two hand turkey.
@tinamarie1974 Points for creepiness.
@tinamarie1974 bro
@jouest bahahahahaha. Im bored!!!
/showme a fractal hand art turkey where each finger is also a fractal.of the pattern
@mediocrebot welp…
Anyone got an extra bottle of henna ink?
@phendrick That’s kind of cool but kind of creepy as well.
I couldn’t help myself. I spent ALL day perfecting my submission

@speediedelivery
Username doesn’t check out.
/showme a hand turkey made of many chicken feet
@ongware Euw.
Do I get points for sacrifice? I’m left handed so to get Glen facing the correct way, I had to trace with my right hand.

@ironcheftoni art is suffering
@ironcheftoni @jouest
Ah… another sinister person…
@ironcheftoni @jouest trying to decide if you’re saying “your suffering is art” or “you’re making art suffer”
@chienfou @jouest another one in their right mind
@chienfou @ironcheftoni @jouest I heart yall so bloody much!
Aw crap, did not expect contests (and also completely forgot there was a Mehrathon). Some really awesome entries here!!
POPSOCKETS! SPROCKETS! DAVY CROCKETT! AWESOME!

@Kyeh LOL, I did, and then I completely forgot to check back in.
Aw crap, did not expect contests (and also completely forgot there was a Mehrathon). Some really awesome entries here!!
(I know this is too late, but we really need a horrific Paint version)
DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
@brainmist it would have cost you nothing to have kept this from existing.
@brainmist @jouest
Except a potential IRK.
(Kind of like it…)
@jouest Evil Dead Turkey loves you! Also it’s under your bed.
@chienfou @jouest Too late for the contest, I did this for spooky joy.
@brainmist @jouest where is its boomstick?
@jouest @sillyheathen this turkey is made from the hand Ash cut off. No boomstick for it.
