HP4GU Contest #3

[joym999 at aol.com]

No: HPFGUIDX 18971

This week's contest comes from Stephanie (sdrk1 at yahoo.com) who says: 

>How about a "make up your own spell" contest.  God knows I could use 
one for fishing Teletubbies out of our toilet...

Is there a spell you could use for a specific aspect of your life?  
How would that spell work?  For example, maybe Stephanie should point 
her wand at the toilet and say:

"Tinky-Winky, Whatever, Lala, Po
This is not where teletubbies go!"

Here is another example -- around 6 months ago, there was a thread on 
the list about magical parenting where we speculated (who knows why) 
on whether or not baby wizards and witches wore diapers.  I suggested 
that maybe they don't; perhaps there is a spell that parents use like 
"Poopus Gowayus." (I'll bet Penny wishes she had that spell!)

OK, so that's the contest.  Tell us a little about a spell you need 
in your life and how it would work.  It can be a charm, a potion, it 
can involve wands, broomsticks, or whatever.

Remember, send your entry by email to HP4GUCon at aol.com, and NOT to 
the list!  Just as a reminder, here are the contest rules:

1.  Contest responses should be sent by email to the contest email 
address, which is HP4GUCon at aol.com.  RESPONSES SHOULD NOT BE POSTED 
TO THE LIST.  Anyone posting responses, especially puzzle answers, to 
the list will be disqualified from participation in that contest, 
sent a howler, turned into a toad, sent to Azkaban, AND forced to eat 
bubotuber pus. SO DON'T POST RESPONSES TO THE LIST.

2.  Contests will be posted on Fridays.  Responses should be sent by 
email to HP4GUCon at aol.com by midnight Tuesday night (EST).  For 
puzzle contests, both the correct answers and a list of everyone who 
submitted a correct solution by the deadline will be posted on 
Wednesday (or Thursday at the latest).  For creative and speculative 
contests, all responses will be posted, although I might just post a 
random sampling if there are a real lot of responses to a particular 
contest.

P.S.  I want to thank all of our poets, once again, for those 
marvelous entries in last week's contest.  If you particularly liked 
any of the poems, or have any comments about the poetry contest, feel 
free to compliment the poets individually or tell me, by email of 
course to HP4GUCon at aol.com
