This year I participated with my entry celebrating Leo Tolstoy's lesser known first draft of what became his Russian literary masterpiece. In an effort to break into Hollywood script writing about 70 years too early, Tolstoy had written an epic about mutated killer 50' pea pods unleashed on Napoleon's invasion of 1812 : War and Peas!
Fortunately, he listened to advice and scrapped the idea as too silly and wrote the classic we know today.
My entry illustrates this previously little known historical sci-fi narrative, which could rival the likes of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds if more people become aware of its significance.

DeleteAll for a good cause, but I can't help feeling that that the judges missed the post-modern irony of a certainly gentleman's entry! 8)

DeleteThats classes pure class, pity the judges didnt see it that way. Mind you the Mr Men cake? is brilliant too.
ReplyDeleteM. Rosbif,
ReplyDeleteYour entry is without doubt in a class of its own!
After names were next to each entry, I was told by one woman that she was sure it was a dad's entry because it was such a Dad Joke! Maybe that's the class you're thinking of? ;-)
