Re: Wk 13 Contenders: Barcotic(16-5) vs Blue Bayou(12-4) - OPEN 4 VOTES
I'm pretty happy my vote got cleaned so I can actually vote on this.
Blue --
Your bar was cool. But that's it. Bar Illa is a cool wordplay. But I don't love the way you word the punch.
And it's just kind of out of nowhere, considering the setup. There's just a random dick.
This isn't that fire.
Barcotic --
I read your bar and I was like shit, that's fire. But something bothered me.
I read it a second and a third time. And I realized it was the wordplay that bothered me.
Normally, I do not care about slant wordplays THAT MUCH. However, if you actually read the wordplay as written, you have to assume it's a cue stick. If you say it out loud, it doesn't work.
If the wordplay doesn't work, then my favorite part of your bar goes away. And... in that case... I prefer Blue Bayou's bar.
This is what I assumed you guys had figured out, from my first vote.
Sorry that I didn't write you a thesis on it. But here you go.
