Would you like a chance to be on a slide at Ignite Portland 5? Do you want the glory and splendor of being associated with the kick-assingest topic of the evening? Do you know any good jokes?

This is YOUR CHANCE to get attribution for an awesome play (hee hee) on bridge the game, Bridge-the-Town, and anything else bridgy that you can think of. You see, my topic is “Why you should be playing bridge.” I want to open with an only-halfway-lame joke about Bridgetown (let’s face it, they’re all going to be lame). So get your thinking caps on and add a comment to this post with your best entry.

Just like the Ignite folks, I’m giving you full license to “hack the format” in any way that’s still germane to the topic – so any suitable (HA!) opening gag that fits on a slide is fair game (Whoa now!).

Rules:

1. Nothing that a child shouldn’t see. It can be clever and edgy, but not gross/pornographic/etc.
2. I reserve the right to not pick any of the submissions, pick more than one, or totally forget that I wrote this post.
3. If I do pick yours, you will be given attribution (within reason – probably name and Twitter handle).
4. The slides will probably go up on Slideshare or somewhere under a CC license, so you need to be comfortable with that.
5. Comments must be date/time stamped no later than this Saturday night, Feb. 7, at midnight.

Go cat go!
