You Can Be a Winner At the Game of Burlesque

.

I've never done a giveaway here at MNPP, but all that's about to change! Time to razzle and dazzle ya. I've got a copy of the hard-cover book Burlesque: The Motion Picture...

"Filled with scenes from the film, exclusive behind-the-scenes photos, costume sketches, set designs, screenplay excerpts, and contributions from the cast and crew, this is a gorgeous, fascinating, and up-close celebration of the over-the-top glamour and gritty struggles found in Burlesque."

... (there are also a couple pages of a half-naked Cam Gigandet worth noting) as well as a copy of the soundtrack to the film, with new songs from Christina Aguilera and Cher. And they've got your name on them... at least they will, should you prove yourselves oh so clever and oh so witty. Here's the set-up:


Picture it! It's the night before Thanksgiving and you're trapped in the airport. All the flights have been delayed because everyone's refusing their privates x-rayed and fondled by TSA agents. The world has crawled to a stand-still! That's when you see them sitting beside you - it's the all the stars of Burlesque! Cher! Xtina! Eric Dane! Kristen Bell! Stanley Tucci! Cam Gigandet! Director and former Goonies prick Steve Antin! They're trapped there too, having been unable to make it out of town from the latest premiere. And it'll be hours before any of you can make it out...

... so what happens?

When you sit down to tell your grandchildren this story fifty years from now, what's the punchline to the tale? I don't want the whole story - just what it all builds to, the Coup de grâce. Keep it short and simple and the more absurd the better. This is MNPP we're talking about here. Enter as many times as you want. And the one that makes me laugh the hardest wins. Voila!

some time between now and Tuesday morning. Good luck!
