Challenge/Points: So the Holidays are upon us, and I thought it would be nice to have a Holiday Dinner online with all of you. And on the menu...points! Basically, I want you to choose an entree, a side dish and a dessert - these foods have random points assigned to them, anywhere from 5-20 points each. Your choices are: 

• Lasagna
• Baked Ham
• Turkey
• Roasted Chicken
• Brisket

Sides:

• Mashed Potatoes
• Sweet Potatoes
• Corn
• Creamed Spinach
• Noodle Pudding
• Latkes

Dessert: 

• Apple Pie
• Cheesecake
• Strawberry Shortcake
• Mincemeat Pie
• Jelly Donuts

Deadline: You have until 11:59 PM on Saturday December 26th to order. Important Information: I apologize - I meant to do this earlier actually during Hanukkah and I forgot. I'm so sorry - hopefully the holiday spirit is still with you!

Challenge: It's time again to pick your players for the next Character Bingo! Remember, Character Bingo is held every other week. Bingo will begin again Saturday December 26th at 12 PM EST. (Please always make sure to note the time: I am going to try to switch up the Bingo times so people in different time zones/periods can play - this challenge will run all Saturday with no 8 hour break. This will not always be the case, so pay attention to the information in each challenge!)

Below the cut are a list of many many characters from all four of JJ's fandoms covered by this community and some from Felicity (I wanted more characters). What I want you to do is comment with 10 of them. Pick whomever you like.

Starting Saturday 12/26 at 12 PM EST, I will draw 10 random names. Then every 30 minutes or so, I will draw 5 more. When all 10 of the names you have picked are chosen by me, you cry out BINGO (in a comment, I won't hear you in your apartment ;)

Points:
First Bingo: 75 points
Second Bingo: 50 points
Third Bingo: 40 points
Fourth Bingo: 30 points
Fifth Bingo: 20 points
Having a Bingo: 15 points

And also, 10 points for just participating! It just doesn't get ANY easier!

Rules/Deadline: Once you submit your 10 characters, you can edit your comment. BUT!! Once I start drawing names, you may no longer edit your comment (you will be disqualified) OR comment with your 10 characters, so do this soon!


( Pick 10 )

Good luck!

You have until Bingo starts December 26th to submit your card.

Challenge: Below the cut I am providing four screencaps - one from each fandom. These screencaps are - well, a little funny. And in dire need of funny captions to go along with them! This is where YOU come in. What I want you to do is... write a caption for it! You don't have to have knowledge of the shows to do this - the caption could be ANYTHING! The funnier the better! You may submit one caption per picture. Submit your captions as a comment to this post. Example: "Alias: Ooh, it's the JJVerse Picture Post!" Your caption must be at least five words. You do not need to add the text to the pictures!

Points: You will receive 5 points for each caption you submit. Once all are submitted, we will vote and further points will be given out.

Deadline: Submit your captions by 11:59 PM Tuesday December 22nd.

I can't sleep so I might as well put up the results for the Pictures challenge! I decided that if you don't mind sharing your pictures, please post them at the thread I am going to open up at clubjj - I think it would be fun :)

There were two or three people whose pictures didn't count for various reasons - if you think you're one of them, comment and I'll let you know why. I had to be fair :)

It's 11:37 AM EST now, and I'm almost ready to start Bingo! We will be starting Bingo at 12 PM EST (23 minutes). I am going to comment at the original post when I am picking new names and to give updates - that way if you track that post, you won't get overwhelmed with the comments from this post, which tend to be a lot! Names will be called every half hour, unless otherwise stated.

IF YOU HAVEN'T SUBMITTED A CARD YET, YOU HAVE UNTIL BINGO BEGINS!

So settle in, get your "bingo cards" out! We'll be starting in an hour !

Attn: Bingo is postponed- I am currently in the ER - I don't think it's anything too serious, I hope.

Very good guys!

Also, have you guys checked out THE HOLIDAY POST yet? :) Please contribute your wishlist and maybe see if you can help anyone with theirs!

I'm extending Deal or No Deal one more day - until midnight tonight EST (about 20 hours). I originally envisioned this as a one day thing but that seemed to have been a pipe dream! And then LJ was screwy, and I am not online much on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I'm giving a little more time.

But please, if your team has not yet finished, head to the thread and finish up the game. This is the last extension.

Considering that yesterday, LJ was all wonky, and today I have been gone the bulk of the day, I am extending Deal or No Deal until Tuesday night. All teams should be updated - the next move is yours, so check your team's posts.

The icon voting is now closed! It's time to anoint a lot of winners!

Points: You will receive 5 points for guessing. If you are correct, you will earn an additional 15 points.

It's time again to check the Member Of banners!

Challenge: At this link, you will find a JJ Abrams related jigsaw puzzle. Solve it! When finished, take a screen capture of the page, making sure to include in the picture the competed puzzle AND the URL in your browser. Link me to this image in a comment.

Points: For solving this puzzle, you will receive 15 points (this puzzle took me about 5 minutes to do, so it's not very hard at all!). The first, fifth, tenth, fifteenth and twentieth people to submit it will win an extra 10 points. Also, the LAST person to submit it before the deadline will receive an extra 25 points. (Keep in mind, for this, the original deadline will be what counts - if I happen to close it later, it's still the person CLOSEST to the deadline without going over)

Deadline: This challenge will end at 11:59 PM EST Thursday December 10th.

Fringe 2x09 - "Snakehead" aired last night (I really have to learn NOT to eat during the show. It gets very gross!) The last word was spoken by Walter, who only a handful of people guessed.

Anyhoo, it's time to give out some points!
