Talk to Tom Week of Dec. 2: Vote in the Murky Poll!

December 2, 2013

Hope all you SFs had a great Murky Day and Turky Day, too. Did you see the Wimpy Kid balloon in the big parade? Totally blimp!

Before we get to the poll… please remember: STAY ON TOPIC when commenting on other SFs stuff. (Or mine for that matter.) Nothing is more annoying than 50 comments about Lady Gaga (or whatever) and hardly any about the origami in the picture.

But here at TALK TO TOM, you do NOT have to stay on topic. This is the one place where you can write about anything you want … as long as it doesn’t offend Webmaster Sam, who has been deleting comments like crazy lately. (Speaking of which, let’s stop saying “Oh my God!” all the time. It does bother some SFs, so why not say…

a NEW MURKY WORD INSTEAD!

Okay…. THE POLL! I’ve selected the finalists in the Murky Contest. (If yours didn’t get picked, please don’t take it personally. I tried NOT to look at the names of the SFs who submitted when picking…)

One of the words below — all suggested by SFs — will become a new Murky word in a book at some point in the future. Which one? That’s up to you! Vote for your favorite in this poll:

U guys r all giving in 2 the dark side! Don’t hate it, just dislike it or think of a part u DO like in maths or science and focus on that. I REALLY dislike maths but i find games of chance (like scissors paper rock) fun!

SlickSlack sounds the most Murky word. It rolls off the tongue like Pik Pot Pete.

Emperor_Gonk_Droid

Very true, but teddy bear jazz hands is sort of like plastic dinosaurs or totally rockets.

SFRobby

Not really. Plastic Dinosaurs rolls off the tongue.

TBJH doesn’t roll off the tung. Slickslack does

I’m pretty sure that Plastic Dinosaurs was a SuperFolder suggestion.

I have a weird theory about how French Braids got started in America. Here it is:

So a French woman moved to America in the old days and she was wearing a French braid. Then an American person walks up to her and says,”Thats a cool hairstyle. Whats it called?”

Then the French person says, ”Its a French braid.”

Then a French braid fad started and lots of people wore French braids. That’s my crazy theory.

He’s a spy from episode IV. Look him up on Wookiepedia for more information.

‘Tis toast!

(His name also means “dust from a windstorm”, “blessed one”, “burnt wood”, and “ugly”.)

Garindan is one of my favorite characters. My favorite translation is “dust from a windstorm”.

Hello, it’s me, Emperor Gonk! As a new member of the ORA, I’d like to call a meeting. (I know I don’t have much authority, but, I wanted to know what it was like to have a meeting.) P.S. I’m Garindan. (Spy from episode IV) P.P.S. Maybe in the next few OY books, there can be a spy for the BOE with a Garindan puppet. (Or the Face of Bo puppet. Hee hee)

I like all the words, but I chose NinjaRobins because it’s mine 🙂

Also because Ninjas are pretty cool and I love birdies, so an epic stooky combo of Ninjas and Robins is just massively bolt! Besides, it’s a nod to Teen Titans Go! ^_^

Tips from Webmaster Sam

1) After you submit... be patient. It can take 2-4 weeks for it to appear, simply because of the number of submissions submitted before yours.

2) A STRICT policy on the site is NO PEOPLE in your origami photos, including you. (Your hand is okay, but that’s it!)

3) Remember, clicking on SUPERFOLDER STOOKINESS is the best way to see ALL the origami SFs have posted! And if you like it, comment on it!

4) Take a little extra time and make sure you've got the BEST picture you can get of your origami. Maybe even crop and rotate the photo using a website like: PICRESIZE.com.
