   This is sort of like the hubchallenge only more (dare i say it? okay...) fun. Let us challenge some of our friend hubbers to create an "out of the box" hub (at least for them).
   
   So I challenge:
   
   dohn121 - a poem
   tony0724 - a poem
   shalini kagal - a rant/hub
   randy behavior - a product review hub
   
   Ha!
   
   If the above mentioned hubbers relent, please post your link/s here
   
   
   
   Enjoy!

    Hubbers orbit (popular poetry)
    
    Inhabited ether by disquiet waves
    invading metallic frames, sprinkling screens
    with colours and shapes
    mineral world where life craves
    for yet another load of precious beams
    soon to be devoured like sweet grapes
    
    High astral body that spirits shelter
    surrounding the earth like a ring
    transcendent entity travelling from winter to spring
    running through time as it spins
    carrying words, thoughts, rebukes and grins
    immaterial rain pouring skelter

          Did you  read the beginning? Just choose some hubbers that you KNOW well and what they are accustomed to writing about, then get them to think outside the box and write a hub about something they normally would not write about. Example: Mark Knowles writing about his favorite chapter of St. John in the Holy Bible. Totally out of his genre.

    - what if the person refuses to accept challenge - can you challenge him again?
    - informing the challenged about the challenge - should the one who challenges take care of that?
    - what about timing - how much time you get to write a hub?

             Wow. You are too nice, friend. Hope I don't disappoint.
             However, you'll have to give me till after Thanksgiving to work on this. I'm in the middle of a freelance paint job and started a new stage musical--both after hours projects. But my mind is curious about all this and I want to dive in, so thanks for the challenge.
             
             And thanks, CrisA, and others for making this so fun!
             
             I'll check in again when I can.

          And a wonderful history it is!  I'm off to share it with my young neices and nephews - another topic we can discuss.  Thanks for taking up the challenge, I appreciate it.

    OK, fair is fair. The Rope is challenged to write about Clan Campbell and how/why/when they arrived in America. That ought to be out of the box enough for you. I shall do the opera hub too. good luck now.
