!!! IIce Station Zebra !!!

[nibbed]

                                IIce Station Zebra
       
        It's Recess in Writerville !!! -- Starting January 10th, it's IIce Station Zebra time !!!
       
        IIce Station Zebra is a 24 day* expedition of enjoyment, a cruise of creativity, a trip of senselessly
        psychedelic etymological enigmas complete with seductive sirens** beckoning you onto the beautiful
        beaches of its fanciful fiords*** of wistful wordishness.
       
        And did I mention word-dog races and deep-fried dictionaries?  
       
        And of course, in keeping with the tradition of IIce Station Zebra since its inception, we will have the
        honor of crowning the International IIce Princess of 2018****.
       

        Further explanation:
        IIce Station Zebra starts on Wombat Day (Jan 10) and ends on International No-Flea Day (Jan 31).
       
        Every three days there will be a new writing challenge and the opportunity to valiantly attempt to meet it.
        You and your comrades will be able to post these things in a very special thread for all to behold.
       
        All are Welcome! No one (not even the lowly, loathsome, or wet-behind-the-ears) will be excluded.
       
        Keep an eye peeled for further announcements and hints of what some of the bizarre challenges will be.
        (And other spam attempting to whip up participation in this important creativity-inspiring event.)



        IIcyfeetnotes:

        * Actually it's 8, one every 3 days; but since 3x8=24 and 24 is just plain more impressive, we went with 24.

        **Who, despite their reputation, are actually safe to listen to as long as you remain  firmly fastened to your fantasies
        by the thick threads of our wonderful world of webs.

        ***Spelled 'fiords' instead of 'fjord' as a salute to the ever-independent citizens
        of New Zealand.

        ****The Official Nominating Form will make its appearance on December 1st
        with nominations closing on December 15th. The voting will open the next day
        and close on January 9th.
       
        If you're the impatient sort, you could always try PMing "rayheinrich" or "Lizzie" to see if they've made up anything more.
