It was the baddest of times, it was the dudest of times.

This past week’s ‘Shop Contest was a tribute to gaming meme that had long been an excuse for some of the not altogether inspired entries from the contests of yesteryear. In keeping with tradition than, this week’s haul was a perfect tribute to bad dudes everywhere.

First, let’s give it up to the winner, Tested_Ninja. No, his entry isn’t technically in keeping with the rules. It’s not from Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja and isn’t about hamburgers.

Finally JurassicBark for thinking outside the box and mashing up two of the weeks most incongruous memes.

UncloudyDay went far afield and came back with a nugget I couldn’t resist. “I may not be a ‘bad dude’ but I sure know how to lose to a burger.”
