I would of liked to have done this one. 9:55pm - so no time now.

Wow, I finally made the EGA-egads connection. Took me almost a week to notice that (actually, even longer as I could see this challenge in the moderators' challenge queue before it started)

Dammit again! A great challenge. I've got a decent concept and I've begun to like the EGA palette, but I fear I won't be sober enough this week to participate. Again...

My bad stick, I now know it was surt that came up with this. Clerical error

Websters says Egads is similar to saying "Oh God". Just make a scene where the caption "OH MY GOD" would be appropriate.

As Ails says in the forums...

"Just pixel a scene where the character is like "oh my god!", or just a scene that the title could be "oh my god!", but replaced with "Egads!"; but the word itself may or may not be on the final art"
