My winner for the Canberra Egyptian Antiquities comp
Was so excited to get a winning call yesterday from the National Gallery. This was my entry:
What would you take with you to the afterlife and why?
Questions only the gods can answer:
Where are my kids’ manners?
Who took my husband’s keys?
How can he eat second helpings without getting fat? |

That's excellent, much better than my own effort Well done !!!!!
Here is my effort
An eternity, laid to rest,
I’ll wear a suit, to look my best.
Never ending Tim Tams, I’ll bring along,
because eternity, is really long.
No wonder I didn't win, yours is great ! |

I'm jealous too......my entry went something like this, can't remember exactly.
I'd take my sense of humour, to the afterlife.
There's bound to be some grumpy 'afterlifers' to deal with.. |

all those entries are great, no wonder I don't win 25wol
Am really p..... off at myself because when I looked at this comp I marked it not interested seeing it was Canberra and didn't realise that anyone
could enter. But I would never have won against those funny answers. |

I would have loved to have won this and taken my mother as she loves anything Egyptian.
I actually remember saying
I'd take absolutely nothing because it's the best of us that passes over and meeting up with old friends and family is all I'd need. |

Great answers guys.
Mine (not a winner) was something about taking a map to navigate the field of reeds, through the 7 gates to meet osiris and not get eating by Amemet.
(all Egyptian afterlife references)
Though a packet of neverending Tim Tams sounds like a better idea! |

Well done winners!
I was hoping for just the prize pack rather than the trip (cause I'm already here  ). This was mine:
I’d take binoculars with me
A close up way I could see
If remaining family was enjoying good health
And that hubby was behaving himself! |

PMSL Mojo too funny
We had fun with this comp too... some of our entries were:
"Boxes of Lindt balls - they're heavenly, but I can't be sure that's where I'm going"
"Devil's Food Cake - I might as well try and fit in!"
"A 'feather' duster for my angels wings... well, you've gotta be optimistic!"
"I'll probably be in Limbo, so the book "How To Win Friends And Influence People" will help in my bid to get into heaven!" |

These are great, people are so clever.
Mine didn't win either, it was:
Just one last cup of coffee
I’ll take to the world ahead
In all my life it’s never failed
To raise me from the dead! |

Congratulations Jupiter. That was a great answer. So were lots of the others. I'd hate to be a judge on this one. It must have been hard! My
entry was something along the lines of I'd take my husband because he always tells me I deserve an eternity of torture and he'd be the best one to
make sure that happened!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an
attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one
hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming
WOO HOO what a ride!
2006-$23411 + 2007-$69842 + 2008-$38712 + 2009-$20781 + 2010-$25344 = $178090
Jan-Oct - $8995
Nov = any minute now......

Canberra Antiquitites Comp
I really wanted to win this too and didn't
Mine was ...
My cats ... sometimes they can be little Bastets but I can't live without them.
Bastet = cat-headed Egyptian God
Oh well.
Had another entry saying something along the lines of taking my cat because I'm sure he couldn't come to Canberra with his Mummy.
Lame now that I've seen a winner ha ha. |
