In this week's contest: Use ALL the letters in a movie title – as many times as you like, but at least once –  to coin a new movie title, and describe it, include a line of funny dialogue, etc., as in the examples in this week's Invitational at bit.ly/inv-week-9. (See the whole Gene Pool at GeneWeingarten.substack.com.)
How to format your entries:
  Write each one of your entries as one continuous line, as in this example:
STAR WARS > SWAT WARTS, TATS:  Hard up for work after the Empire is defeated, Luke Skywalker offers to use his lightsaber to remove skim growths and fix bad tattoos.

Note that there's no line break after the name of the movie or its pangram -- it's all one long line. Also notice: No quotation marks. No numbered entries.

This way, the Empress will be able to sort all the Star Wars entries together in one big anonymous group, as well as all the Gone With the Winds etc. Include as many as 25 entries in the area below where it says "Your answer." It's best to copy them in from another document so you'll have them if your computer suddenly dies or something, or if you click to submit the form and something goes wonky.   

 Note: Your auto-reply confirmation might be missing formatting, with everything squished into one big blob of text,  but it seems that it's nothing to worry about;  the entries have been coming out fine on this end.

If you don't get a confirmation within a few minutes that you've sent your entry -- you've searched your email filters (e.g., Updates or Promotions in Gmail; and good ol' Spam) and there's nothing -- don't just send it over and over!  Feel free to contact the Empress at myerspat (at) gmail (dot) com and she can check if it got through.  She might not get back to you immediately but  promises that you won't miss the deadline.   

   Entry deadline is 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, March 11  (we're giving you an extra half-day or so this week).   Results will be posted in The Gene Pool on Thursday, March 16.  Entries will sometimes be edited by the Empress and/or Czar for space, taste and just better wording of the joke.  Unfortunately, time doesn’t permit full consultations about every editing tweak. 

Every entry will be personally read and ruminated on (ewwww!) every week by either the Czar or the Empress or, when there's time, by both of us.   



Tell us the name you want to be credited as, along with the town you live in;  e.g., Joe Blow, Bendover, Miss. 
(In the event you win and you would like the Unfabulous Prize mailed to you, please enclose a mailing address.  U.S. addresses only; if you're from out of the country, you'll have to settle for Glory.)

If you have ideas for the headline for the contest results and/or the subhead above the list of honorable mentions,  submit them here (no more than 10 each).  Feel free to search through the All Invitational Text file at NRARS.org to see whether we've used that headline already.  (If you don't have anything for this category, just skip it.) 
We used to ask you to leave them here, but we're not seeing them ...  So: don't! Instead, feel free to send any questions,  comments, complaints, general chat,  arrangements for bribes, etc., directly to  the Empress at myerspat (at) gmail (dot) com.   To submit questions, etc., in advance to The Gene Pool, please go to bit.ly/genepool-question . Gene would like to get lots and lots of questions! 
A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
