Now everyone, if you're confused by the contest and are wondering "what kind of entries will win," here is a GREAT example of what we are looking for. This was sent to me by Petra Sweiss (week 1 winner) just for giggles. On what day other than Opposite Day would kittens be pushing other kittens around in a cart? You're correct, NO OTHER DAY. Also, kittens are just precious.

 
We are so thrilled with the entries we have gotten in the contest so far and with our weekly winners! We have received some very good stuff! If you haven't heard about our contest, go to our contest page to get the details, learn how to enter and see what prizes are available  The weekly winners are also posted on the contest page. Hurry, the contest ends June 2nd!

While researching a little to learn about this sucky holiday, I came across a song by Andrew Bird called "Opposite Day." Any Opposite Day fan or cool person in general will be interested. The here to go to azlyrics.com to listen to this comical song! 

"Opposite Day"

I got home this morning with the sun right in my eyes
And there was no warning as it took me by surprise as it
Hit me like an Act of God, causing my alarm
That I had not become a cephalopod
I still had legs and arms
Yes I still had legs and arms

Today was supposed to be the day
Molecules decide to change their form
Laws of physics lose their sway
Youthful indiscretion now is suddenly the norm
With the good kids sprouting horns, yeah yeah
And today was supposed to be

Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Was supposed to be, today was supposed to be
Opposite day

Those that can't quite function in society at large
They're going to wake up on this morning and find that they're in charge
But those the world's set up for, who are really doing quite well
They're going to wake up in institutions
In prison or in hell
Prison or in hell

Today was supposed to be the day
Molecules decide to change their form
Laws of physics lose their sway
Youthful indiscretion now is suddenly the norm
With the good kids sprouting horns, yeah yeah
And today was supposed to be

Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day
Today was supposed to be
Not just another day
It was supposed to be, today was supposed to be
Opposite day

But if you think there's something else
Well you're right, there is
There's something else
But if you think I'm gonna tell you, think again
Why should I even think of telling you what there is
Yeah, 'cause silence is knowledge
And knowledge is power
I'm under explicit orders to dare not speak its name
Listen up, I just work here
Oh I dare not speak its name
I can't keep talking about it
Oh, I dare not speak its name

I guess this would be true, since everything is opposite! It can be pretty confusing! Or clear? Or confusing... I guess it depends on whether it's opposite day or not!
