SpeedIF 3

At this table in the Row, Jason Dyer is running the SpeedIF 3 competition. He sums up the premise:

"Write a comedy in the form of a medieval morality play. The protagonist is attempting to transport something from one location to another, and his or her efforts are stymied by one or several of the following: Sloth, Pride, Avarice, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Discretion, Death, and the Devil. They don't necessarily have to appear in person. Bonus points for using any of the following: pez, a green yo-yo, a lawn ornament, an iguana, corn, a herd of buffalo, a robot duck."
