Bring It On

Today at work I have little to do, so I checked out the Style Invitational challenge and decided to throw my hat into the ring. For those of you who don't know about the Style Invitational, it's a weekly column where the Style section editors put forth a humorous contest for readers to respond to, then run the winners over the weekend. Generally the things are pretty funny. Here's this week's contest:

"It's time once again for our chronic not-much-like- "Jeopardy!" contest, in which we supply 12 phrases and you get to provide questions that they might answer. The twist this time is that all of the phrases were entries in our Week 717 contest, which asked for Googlenopes -- phrases that showed no previous hits from the Google search engine. Some of this week's Nopes got ink last week; most you're seeing for the first time. Winner gets the Inker, the official Style Invitational trophy."
