If only I actually could remember the show... by jollysleeve	Jul 24th, 2006 10:17:25 PM
Kind of hard to write a short story involving the Brisco world when you have almost no memories of the characters or the general story arc. Oh, woe is me.
Too Bad by IncompetentNinja	Jul 24th, 2006 10:23:49 PM
This was a good show that died a prematurely. I think Fox cancelled it so they could fill the timeslot with Sliders or World's Wildest Police Chases. I hate you, Rupert Murdoch.
BrokeBrisco Mountain by Jubba	Jul 24th, 2006 10:32:19 PM
Starring Harry and Bruce Campbell. Coming soon.
Does Vern count as a regular writer by Ye Not Guilty	Jul 24th, 2006 10:32:24 PM
He doesn't have the much-coveted black talkback box, but he's just a-beggin' for the ol' Brisco County, Jr. treatment.
Ye Not Guilty by Joseph Merrick	Jul 24th, 2006 10:34:09 PM
Yes.
Do we get extra credit for working in a 'dirty sanchez' by Doctor_Sin	Jul 24th, 2006 10:35:28 PM
'Cos I got ideas.
Brilliant. Just write a bunch of bullshit by moondoggy2u	Jul 24th, 2006 11:10:17 PM
And I get a free pack of coasters. My story will be entitled,"Harry Knowles and Superman Returns or How I learned to stop critiquing and love the bomb." Oh, and starring Bruce Campbell. Now when do I get my coasters?
Brisco County Jr says "Fuck the hearing impaired." by scrivener	Jul 24th, 2006 11:11:12 PM
I picked up the box set this week as happy as a ferret with a sock, but I tried to watch it I discovered they had subtitles for just about every language EXCEPT english. Oh great, so I have to fucking learn French or Spanish to watch the show? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH WARNER BROTHERS? JESUS CHRIST, are closed captions in ENGLISH just too much to ask?
What about submitting entries from zfisk's blog? by Mr Nice Gaius	Jul 24th, 2006 11:17:48 PM

this would be a good idea.. by seekshelter	Jul 24th, 2006 11:28:24 PM
if it hasnt been like 10 years or whatever since the last time i saw it.
OMG, OMG, NO, NOOOOOO!!! DAMMIT!!! NOOO!!! by Shermdawg	Jul 24th, 2006 11:43:49 PM
I gave up on Quint's Superman Returns contest because I overshot the script for the comic entry. There was no way I could do all of the art for it! Now I'm stuck with a fairly decent little story, and then you go and start a writing contest, but it's for Brico!!! >_< sigh lame.
Unlike the X-Files contest with the 10,000 word minimum by DarthCorleone	Jul 24th, 2006 11:49:04 PM
I stayed up all night to finish that X-Files contest. I of course did not win. I'd like to give this one a try, but I never watched Brisco County, so I'm not qualified to write a story, even if it could be a couple paragraphs. I just remember catching bits and pieces of it and thinking it could be a cool show.
Are these at blockbuster? Dang, I loved the show by George Newman	Jul 24th, 2006 11:51:38 PM
I am looking forward to purchasing the set, but if there's a slim chance i could win a free set, i'll try. But i need so refreshing.
YackBacker... by Shermdawg	Jul 25th, 2006 12:00:56 AM
Olsen's so gonna kick your ass for messin' with his girl!
darn... by usualsuspect678	Jul 25th, 2006 12:01:44 AM
Merrick, I accidentally sent it to you from a bad e-mail, so I sent it again with "re-send" is paranthesis next to the subject. I hope this doesn't affect my chances.
TOO SOON! by Col. Klink	Jul 25th, 2006 01:28:07 AM
I still remember how crappy this show was. They should have waited a few years to release it on DVD when everyone forgot.
"Try to keep it to a few paragraphs if possible." by Shermdawg	Jul 25th, 2006 02:12:55 AM
Uh, I've only finished about a third of the story, (which is more like a chapter than a full story) and I've already broke that rule. :/
Is it worth the effort? by ScarranHalfBreed	Jul 25th, 2006 05:25:22 AM

Mr. Nice Gaius by DocPazuzu	Jul 25th, 2006 05:34:38 AM
Have you had a chance to partake of fisky-poo's update from last night? Funniest fucking thing I've ever seen. He's finally gone boi-oi-oi-oi-oinnnnggg...
Blunt Force Trauma, bitches! by G'ster	Jul 25th, 2006 06:18:39 AM
When you gonna learn? Fuck Brisco County DVDs! Sly is laying some blunt force trauma on your asses this December! Let's start building some hurtin' bombs!
this contest sounds like too much work... by future help	Jul 25th, 2006 07:42:25 AM
i guess it's made for the geeks that still live at home with their mom and don't have to work 6 days a week to get by. say, could you just mail me one of them Box sets? just because im such a huge fan of Bruce "Mysterio" Campbell?
Another AICN contest that's impossible to enter. by brokentusk	Jul 25th, 2006 08:18:06 AM
Seriously, every contest I see on this site makes you jump through flaming hoops of fire to win the prize. Whether it's draw a masterpiece, write a story involving characters you may not know if you haven't watched the prize (but really want to), or (my favourite) get a freakin' tattoo, the contests are just near impossible to win unless you're artistically gifted, familiar with the prize (which is somewhat unfair), or outright CRAZY. Not to mention the fact that it seems like no one ever wins anything because it takes so long for the winners to be selected. Just speaking my mind, but I think a lot of people would agree with me.
"It was a dark and stormy night... by Doctor_Sin	Jul 25th, 2006 08:51:03 AM
...when Brisco found Harry's severed left nipple in a leather bag attached to his saddle while, off in the distance, a strange cackling was heard and Brisco realized Moriarty the Nippleman had struck again in the dead of night, causing him to recoil in abject fear and unutterable terror." The end. Send me my shit.
$80 by IndyCollector	Jul 25th, 2006 08:58:54 AM
I saw this in Target over the weekend and it's 80 freakin' dollars.
wow, it sucked on tv now it can suck forever! by butnugget	Jul 25th, 2006 09:16:33 AM
really, Bruce is the man but this show sucked.
Doc Pazuzu by Mr Nice Gaius	Jul 25th, 2006 09:43:55 AM
Oh man, I read that last night and stared at it with a mixture of amusement and near terror. He either genuinely believes what he has written there or he is just doing it to get a rise out of us (because he knows we are aware of the blog). Either way, he's insane.
brisco! by vanfan	Jul 25th, 2006 09:51:35 AM
i have a feeling this is going to be a very high selling dvd. or maybe i just had a brain fart
Wouldn't it be easier to just buy the set? by www.valiens.com	Jul 25th, 2006 10:09:29 AM
Throw in "Jack of All Trades" and ya got a deal!
Bruce Campbell should play Brisco County Jnr... by Edward_nygma	Jul 25th, 2006 10:12:37 AM

Length... by jollysleeve	Jul 25th, 2006 11:17:43 AM
I like how they say: "SIZE DOES NOT MATTER! LENGTH IS NOT REQUIRED & WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE REWARDED!"........ And then in the next breath, they say, "Seriously, try to keep it to a few paragraphs if at all possible."...... So I guess they don't care how long the stories are. Just so long as they're short. It sounds like they basically want to expend as little energy/time as possible when judging these things. Fair enough, except for the fact that the requirements of the contest itself ask that the participants put in quite a bit of effort of their own........ BTW, entrants should also be aware--it doesn't matter which AICN staffer and which Brisco character are most heavily used in your story: Just so long as Moriarty and Comet are the main characters.
sigh I wish I had time to do this by quadrupletree	Jul 25th, 2006 11:31:27 AM
I REALLY want to... Damn you 9-5 job!! (more like 9:30-8:30)
Problem with the box set... by G'ster	Jul 25th, 2006 11:42:11 AM
is that it will have stains from Harry's barbecue sauce that's dribbled down his chin during one of his 50 hours DVD marathons.
Could I do a haiku? by Big Bad Clone	Jul 25th, 2006 01:05:41 PM
I was just kidding but now I really want to do this...
Can it involve Brokeback Mountain? by Hate_Speech	Jul 25th, 2006 01:40:34 PM
That might make it funny and FUN!
"and this is why I, homewrecker, by brycemonkey	Jul 25th, 2006 02:23:50 PM
to this day, is his most despised archnemesis and enemy" he has a high opinion of himself... I'm still annoyed he doesn't count me as one of DocP's alternate usernames. :-(
Am I Missing Something? Because Last I Checked.. by The Ender	Jul 25th, 2006 03:17:42 PM

It's only a matter of time.

zfisk identified me as a docpazuzu made-up person! i kind of feel like i won an award. thank you! thank you! you're a crackerjack, mr zfisk!
format question: email story as text or attachment? by ScienceMan	Jul 25th, 2006 05:54:22 PM
Merrick - which do you prefer? Submissions in the form of email text, or as a word attachment? Also, is your email address merrick@aintitcool.com or merrick@aintitcoolnews.com ? thanks... neat contest, looking forward to submitting my two bits
why does everyone want something for nothing?? by seekshelter	Jul 25th, 2006 06:45:37 PM
everyone in this talkback is getting a star next to their name for participation. lazy asses.... you have to admit... that macaroni figure a while back was pretty cool.

I Loved the show and I
jack of all trades by darkjedijaina	Jul 27th, 2006 12:47:15 AM
it was released the same day as brsico. mmhm.
damn by beny	Jul 31st, 2006 01:36:23 AM
I think my entry was 5 minutes too late :/
damn by Shermdawg	Jul 31st, 2006 08:42:29 AM
I didn't enter. I still got 1/3 of a nifty little yarn written. I never watched the show, so most of it was gonna be AICN references, I didn't bother finishing. Plus it would have been waaay too long. Y'all asked for a few paragraphs, I had at least ten in the part I finished. heh.
Got mine in on time. by Engelhast	Jul 31st, 2006 10:14:01 AM
I really hope I win but I am not the best writer in the world though.
I'm pretty pleased... by jollysleeve	Jul 31st, 2006 04:25:10 PM
...with my entry. 9 pages long. But now I have this overwhelming paranoia that my email never went through, since Outlook Express seemed to have crashed at the precise moment I clicked send. I can only hope the send folder, which does in fact list the email, is not lying.
Question: by jollysleeve	Jul 31st, 2006 04:27:07 PM
Is this contest just going to disappear from our collective consiousness, or will we, the readers of AICN (and most importantly, the people who entered) get some kind of notification that the winners have been chosen. I need closure, darn it.
ooo by darkjedijaina	Jul 31st, 2006 09:34:23 PM
yeah, i hope they feature the winning entries. i'd like to read them. i entered, but i'd never entered a contest of this sort before, so i've no idea if i did well or not. ha.
Hey, Whatchaknow! by Evil Chicken	Aug 1st, 2006 11:39:44 AM
Thanks darkjedijaina. It's a good time to be a geek.
no problem! by darkjedijaina	Aug 1st, 2006 01:30:29 PM
indeed, it is a good time to be a geek. especially a bruce campbell-loving geek. i'm anxiously awaiting more news on My Name Is Bruce. they're filming for it now. eeee.
It was fun by mrfan	Aug 2nd, 2006 08:30:53 AM
I had a good time entering this contest. I hope that they publish the four winning entries. That would be cool.
Anyone still keeping tabs on this? by Agent Blue	Aug 6th, 2006 02:49:15 AM
Post the stories! Me want to read!
Indeed by BronsonBeliever	Aug 6th, 2006 04:18:34 AM
I'd like to read 'em too.
Maybe Merrick is a slow reader? by Engelhast	Aug 7th, 2006 08:38:07 AM
Or they were all so good he is having a hard time picking the winners.
It's OK Merrick by biggles2_22	Aug 10th, 2006 12:26:03 PM
If you want to watch 'em before you send them to me. That's fine. Love, Biggles
Did I win? by www.valiens.com	Oct 11th, 2006 04:34:09 PM
Cuz it's still too expensive to buy.
