Win tickets to the Choice Music Prize

Now in its fifth year, the Choice Music Prize for 2010 will be announced in Vicar Street next Wednesday the 3rd of March from 7.30pm sharp. The live event runs in tandem with the judging process which takes place in a locked room nearby where 12 media guys and gals will be trying to decide the best Irish album of the year for 2009. While that is happening, the bands nominated will be playing short live sets before the announcement.

Out of the 10 nominated acts the following will be performing: And So I Watch You From Afar, Codes, Adrian Crowley, Dark Room Notes, The Duckworth Lewis Method, Julie Feeney, Valerie Francis and The Swell Season (full band). Only Laura Izibor and Bell X1 cannot play on the night.

State is delighted to have two pairs of tickets to giveaway to two readers to the live event. In keeping with the spirit of this Choice-related video, all you have to do is tell us a joke in the comments below. The two best jokes (deemed by a State panel of course) will win a pair each. Closing date is Tuesday 2nd March at noon. Here’s how not to do it:

    As a writer,I’m probably excluded but this joke should be known by all…
    Saul is working in his store when he hears a booming voice from above: “Saul, sell your business.” He ignores it. It goes on for days. “Saul, sell your business for $3 million.” After weeks of this, he relents, sells his store. The voice says ‘Saul, go to Las Vegas.” He asks why. “Saul, take the $3 million to Las Vegas.” He obeys, goes to a casino. Voice says, “Saul , go to the blackjack table and put it down all on one hand.” He hesitates but knows he must. He’s dealt an 18. The dealer has a six showing. “Saul, take a card.” What? The dealer has — “Take a card!” He tells the dealer to hit him. Saul gets an ace. Nineteen. He breathes easy. “Saul, take another card.” What? “TAKE ANOTHER CARD!” He asks for another card. It’s another ace. He has twenty. “Saul, take another card,” the voice commands. I have twenty! Saul shouts. “TAKE ANOTHER CARD!!” booms the voice. Hit me,Saul says. He gets another ace. Twenty one. The voice goes: “un-fucking-believable!”

    A very wealthy couple left their lovely home to go for a meal with friends one evening. Halfway through the night, the wife exclaimed that she wasn’t feeling well and so returned home alone. Their butler, Jeeves, was the only soul in the house when she returned, and the wife found him in her room.
    ‘Jeeves’ she said ‘Take off my shoes’
    Jeeves nervously took off her shoes
    ‘Now Jeeves, take off my dress’
    Jeeves took off her dress slowly
    ‘OK Jeeves, if I ever catch you wearing my clothes again we’re firing you’

    The Vicar’s Ass

    The Vicar entered his donkey in a race and it won.

    The Vicar was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again and it won again.

    The local paper read:
    VICAR’S
    ASS OUT FRONT.

    The Bishop was so upset with this kind of
    publicity that he ordered
    the
    Vicar not to enter the donkey in another race.

    The next day the local paper headline
    read:
    BISHOP
    SCRATCHES
    VICAR’S
    ASS.
    This was too much for the Bishop so he
    ordered the Vicar to get
    rid
    of the donkey.

    The Vicar decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent.

    The local paper, hearing of the news, posted
    the following headline
    the
    next day:

    NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

    The Bishop fainted.

    He informed the Nun that she would have to
    get rid of the donkey so
    she
    sold it to a farmer for €10.
    The next day the paper read:

    NUN
    SELLS ASS FOR €10.

    This was too much for the Bishop so he
    ordered the Nun to buy back
    the
    donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run
    wild.

    The next day the headlines read:

    NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.
    The Bishop was buried the next day.

    The moral of the story is . . . being
    concerned about public opinion
    can
    bring you much grief and misery . . even shorten your
    life.

    So be yourself and enjoy life.

    Stop worrying about everyone else’s ass and
    you’ll be a lot happier
    and
    live longer!

    A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns and finds a young couple in bed.
    He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair, while tying the girl to the bed he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.
    While he’s in there, the husband tells his wife: “Listen, this guy’s an escaped convict, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn’t seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck.” If he wants s*x, don’t resist, don’t complain, do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is probably very dangerous. If he gets angry, he’ll k*ll us. Be strong, honey. I love you.”
    To which his wife responds: “He wasn’t kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked me if we had any vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you too!!”
