Duke's All Out of Gum

Submit a new Duke Nukem trash talkin' line, and if yours is chosen, they'll put it in the game (and they'll give you some other booty, too). I can imagine that they'll want it to be pretty clean, but you could have some serious bragging rights if your line made it." If you're reading Slashdot at 6 AM on Sunday morning (note typical U.S.-centrism), clearly you have the right stuff to quip with the best of them.

    They HAVE to exclude Florida. If they didn't, any Democrats who didn't win may take them to court, claiming the entry form was unclear on how to type in the entry, and demand a new contest.

    On the Florida side of the issue,

    We (and people in Tennessee) can't ever enter national contests due to some weird state laws, probably involving taxation of prizes or something. Almost all fine print for contests make Florida ineligable.

    On the flip side, we have no state income tax...

    Here in Texas we have no state tax and we can be in contests. So there!

    But then again, you _live_ in Texas. That would count as cruel and unusual punishment.

    Never mind the /. story being us-centric. What sucks are the contest conditions:
    "12. Eligibility. This Contest is open to legal residents of the United States, excluding Florida, New York, and Rhode Island".
