Thank you to everyone who participated and joined us for Steemit's Birthday Party.

We gave away a total of 400 Steem!

This was a special event put on by the Steemit Talk Podcast crew of @sykochica, @raymonjohnstone and @giftedgaia. Over the couple of hours, we had a blast doing some Steemit Related Madlibs, A Steemit Trivia Contest and a Raffle.

I was thrilled with the turnout of 22 people that tuned in!

Thank you to all participants: @marialin, @hulkbuster, @kurtbeil, @matrixdweller, @crypto-hippy, @mikkolyytnen, @steemitqa, @cathi-xx, @gonzo, @scaredycatguide, @thecryptofiend, @barrydutton, @shadowspub, @jmehta, @paolobeneforti, @elementm, @fyrstikken, @gomi25, @intertia, @whatsup, @seablue, @riskdebonair

If you weren't able to join us, fear not! We recorded the party on the Steemit Talk Podcast Discord and you can hear the whole thing below:

We started the party off with MADLIBS!

We selected 4 Steemit Related Madlibs from those submitted by Steemians that we read on the show, and rewarded them with 25 Steem each.

Below you'll see the filled in Madlibs along with who created it.

@verbal-d - His post with this madlib
Happy 1 Year Birthday Steemit! - Steemit.com and the community here, to me, is {UPVOTED} - Each time I log into my Steemit account, the first thing I do is check my {TOILET} for any {BUTTS}. - The first Steemit Blue Whale who had let me journey atop their back to the land of endless wealth & prosperity was { @HTOOMS}. - The first minnow I ever slapped fins and played Tide & Reef with was { @SEABLUE}. - The biggest payout I ever saw was for a post about {AUDACIOUSLY} {VIKINGS}! - The best post I ever got involved with was about {GREEN} {TACOS} and I wish I can do it all over again because I love {SPANDEXING}! - My best friends on Steemit are { @BERNIESANDERS} & { @LORDVADER}. - I love to butt in on other people's conversations in the comment's section. Especially in posts concerning {BUTTPLUGS}. - I'll never forget the time { @SYKOCHICA} {REGURGITATED} { @THECRYPTOFIEND} with a {JOLLY} {HONEY BADGER}. That was so {SPIFFY}. - If I could give each member of the Steemit community something, it would be {NUKES} or a {STEEM BACKED MARKLAR} because something like that is {NAKED} and {NORWEGIAN}!

@elementm
"It was a/an {GREASY} day in Steemland! New users were literally {DRINKING} their { @STEEMPOWERTWINS} for a chance to sign up. Steem was trading for {420} Bitcoin and the cryptoverse was {STINKY}. { @PAPA-PEPPER} and { @DAN} looked on with {A SHIT EATING GRIN} all over their faces. What a day!"

@yakuhi
{ @BEANZ} and { @SIRLUNCHTHEHOST} decided it would be a good idea to {TACO-FLAVORED DONUTS} a {CAMPING} from scratch using home made appliances. The ingredients included {KLEENEX}, eggs, {DIAPERS}, rubbing alcohol and steem. They put it all into a bucket, covered it with {THOR'S PICKLE} and waited {69} {EONS}. The bucket {STAMMERED}. They had made a {DANCING} whale instead!

and @gonzo (with @cathi-xx)
Most Steemians are {DELICIOUSLY} and you can tell by the way they {STEEMING} {GARDEN OF @NED STATUES}.
Whales {STRIKING} in the {A PLAQUE TO @DAN}, Dolphins {FLAGGING} in the {A WALMART IN LIBERLAND} and minnows {KILLING}{ @CHEETAH BOT}. No Steemian will ever forget {Y2K} but each {HAIRY} Steemian {ESCALATED} together like {A ZEN GARDEN FULL OF OZNOG BOBBLEHEADS}. If Steemit were a/an {SLOTH}, Steemit would {PIMP SLAPPING} {FLATTER} than Reddit’s {DISCOMBOBULATING} {BUFFALO} which puts a/an {BANJO} on every Steemian’s {PICKLE}.
[NOTE: OZNOG is @gonzo backwards. @SteemitTalk Podcast listeners know all about this.]
