5 for Rafa

This is one of the coolest ideas ever. The team behind Rafael Nadal has created a campaign for fans to encourage their favorite tenista onto a record-breaking fifth straight French Open win. The gimmick? Write a 5 word sentence or 5 letter word on your hand, film it, post it.

I was trying to do an acrostic with VAMOS with each word containing 5 letters. I got Valor, Ardor, Mirth, and then got stuck and went to sleep only to wake up and realize Valor was the only good one. At any rate, I think I've abandoned this idea and now am trying to come up with something better. After all, this chick in Manchester, England already posted something similar, and let's be honest, hers is pretty damn good.



Suggestions? I don't think "Will You Marry Me, Please?" is a keeper for this particular project, although I'm not sure that will stop me from submitting it. ; )

I'm thinking of 5 words that start with V, preferably five letters each. Why V? Because V = Roman numeral for 5 and also VAMOS! I've got Valor, Vigor, and Vamos (which will be the last one). Anybody got two more?

UPDATE: Ok, here's what I came up with. I've uploaded it to Rafa's YouTube page, but not sure when it will be "published." Likely it has to undergo some sort of review before it appears on the page. I know it's cheesy, but it's a little clever, no?

Excellent. You have pretty hands. And I like what you did with the fist and fling and such. Creative. I think you should also upload Will You Marry Me, Please. That's just funny. Not that I want to encourage this addiction you have.

This was like a triple compliment comment - Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Encouragement or not, I'm hopelessly addicted for the foreseeable future, but I do promise only about 10% of it gets published on the blog (see, I DO self-edit!). I know, SCARY.
