Here's a list of links for all bake-off entries received so far. Take a look, entries may have been missed in all of the holiday/vacation folderol. Going backwards in the order in which they were received:
9) Kathleen
8) Billy Pilgrim/Zelmo
7) Mendacious D
6) Pinkp Punko/Geenie Cola
5) Snag/Snag, Jr.
4) Brando/TLB
3) Team Chicago
2) Claire
1) Mandos
Res and I had a rule last year when judging and it was this:
The 6th entrant -- no matter who it was! Didn't matter! was immediately disqualified for general principles.

That sounds like something Grizzled often says, "Don't forget Rule #6- there are no rules."
I'm guessing AG would agree with your rule. I'm guessing Pinko would point out that since neither you nor Res baked this year that all of your rules are null and void. :)

Aw! *Caring* about what Pinko Punko thinks...
What a sweet and totally irrational thought!
Posted by: blue girl | December 28, 2007 at 10:28 AM
So? When do we know the results? Are we still waiting for Chuckles's errant cookies? I feel bad and all that they got lost, but let's tally the votes already!
Posted by: Claire | December 28, 2007 at 10:38 AM
Claire- I believe we're waiting on AG who was first away on business and is now on vacation. Grizzled and I have our numbers, but they need to be averaged with AG and UC's. I'm guessing it'll be 2008 before you know anything. :(
Posted by: Jennifer | December 28, 2007 at 10:57 AM
Plenty of time for more trash talking, I guess. I'll start.
I can't BELIEVE BG punted after that annoying video.
And I wouldn't put anything from Snag, Jr. in my mouth. Snag, yes; it would likely include meat and alcohol and possibly narcotics. But Junior probably put some slow acting delayed action poison in there, in hopes that his Dad would eat one...

Leave it to BP to stir the pot, ruffle the feathers, upset the apple cart... He seems to have gotten away relatively unscathed in the trash talk barrage.

Billy Pilgram's entry is going to get cut down so much, his name will be Bil Pil when the contest is over.
I also wanted to reassure the judges that, should TLB not win, I am sure it would have no affect on her physical condition. I don't want us to get any special treatment because she is carrying a baby, a feat which she put nearly as much effort into as baking her cookies. So, please, DO NOT take that into consideration.
Posted by: Brando | December 28, 2007 at 01:58 PM
Dear Lord, Brando! Grizzled and I totally forgot to judge her bun in the oven! If that's not a baked good, I don't know what is. However... upon second thought, it was not finished by the Dec. 21st deadline. I'm sure it would have scored high though in creativity marks.

Plus, the USPS shipping would not have been good for TBD.
Posted by: billy pilgrim | December 28, 2007 at 02:32 PM
They could have shipped it heir mail.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 28, 2007 at 02:38 PM
First of all, "TBD" is the cutest name ever for the little bloggy babe!
Secondly, Bil Pil:
I can't BELIEVE BG punted after that annoying video.
I seriously could not do it. Just ask Jennifer! She knows! It was all death and and heart attacks waiting to happen in the Blue Household two weeks prior to the Bake-off deadline. Plus, it was all my sister needing me to run over at the drop of a hat and my mom just wanting to sit on the phone analyzing things. And when she didn't want to sit on the phone analyzing, she just wanted to sit on the phone (with me) thinking -- in silence basically -- for hours at a time.
I'm not trying to garner sympathy here. Just *really* saying that I was at my whit's end and just couldn't do it. I even had a *really* funny joke planned. Couldn't even pull that off.
FIGHT THE POWER!

LOL at "heir mail."
Posted by: Brando | December 28, 2007 at 03:48 PM
BG did have various shits hitting various fans. You'll notice though that she showed up. She may not have baked, but she showed up. If you're going to give grief to BG, you must also give it to Res.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 28, 2007 at 03:56 PM
Yeah! Give it to Res! That total slacker!
*BOOP*
Posted by: blue girl | December 28, 2007 at 04:03 PM
Rule 1: No winners called before 15 Jan.
Rule 2: Never listen to anything Pinko says.
Rule 3: AG is always right.
Rule 4: Bribes in the form of Jewish men and cash accepted.
Rule 5: We will always be Jennifer's bitchez.
Posted by: AG | December 28, 2007 at 04:56 PM
Those work for me. :)
Posted by: Jennifer | December 28, 2007 at 04:59 PM
OK, I will pile on Res, but only if I get to kick one team out of the competition.
Seriously, I know BG was over her head.
But in the spirit of the competition: Next year, when I am judging everyone's cookies within an inch of their lives, I will BG no slack whatsoever, whit or wit.
Posted by: billy pilgrim | December 28, 2007 at 05:16 PM
I will BG no slack
Je ne comprend pas...
Just curious... if you were to pile on Res, which team would you kick out? Hmmmm??
Posted by: Jennifer | December 28, 2007 at 07:15 PM
I will BG no slack
I like that. It sounds hardcore -- like I'm a rapper or something.
Yo.
Posted by: blue girl | December 28, 2007 at 07:54 PM
I thought the Res pile sounded kind of hardcore...
Posted by: Jennifer | December 28, 2007 at 09:46 PM
First of all, my son wouldn't try to poison me and it didn't work anyway.
Second, shouldn't the list read,
#1 - Snag/Snag Jr.
#2 - et. al.
Posted by: Snag | December 29, 2007 at 12:52 AM
sure, Snag.
Next year when I'm judging, you're number six!!!
Posted by: billy pilgrim | December 29, 2007 at 01:13 PM
BG couldn't handle the heat, so she got outta the kitchen. Understandable. I think she knows who really brought it this year.
Posted by: Pinko Punko | December 29, 2007 at 01:48 PM
Uh. PP? I did the kitchen joke like three weeks ago when I was going to bring the throw down on you!
Try to keep up!
Posted by: blue girl | December 29, 2007 at 04:09 PM
But it isn't a joke, see, the Bulls HANDLED it, the BLUES didn't. And now Phil is homeless. Time for smear campaign You Tube Video against BG.
Posted by: Pinko Punko | December 29, 2007 at 06:16 PM
Time for smear campaign You Tube Video against BG.
LOL!
Bring it!
Posted by: blue girl | December 29, 2007 at 06:18 PM
Let's see.
9 entries
x 100-200 calories/cookie
x 3 cookies / season
= 2700 - 5400 calories / holiday season
happy new year!

Dearest NPB- *burp*... you have no idea how much butter was used. I'd say your figures are modest at best. I type this as I do yet another hour on the treadmill... :)
Posted by: Jennifer | December 29, 2007 at 09:53 PM
I've never thought of BG as so deeply passé until this very moment. It is like the end of the Members Only era.
Posted by: Pinko Punko | December 29, 2007 at 11:56 PM
I'd say your figures are modest at best.
I've found it's always best to be generous when talking of peoples figures.
burp, indeed.
Posted by: Jealous Non-Participating Blogs | December 30, 2007 at 01:31 AM
Bring it, Pinko Punko.
Seriously. Give it your best shot.

THe Queen did yeoman's work this season. She's a Cookie yeoman.
Posted by: Kathleen | December 30, 2007 at 04:04 PM
Ancient Irish tradition holds that smack talk is perpetrated by those lacking confidence in their baking entry. As such, my the ghost of Brian Boru, I think we can all see who the winner is.
Posted by: Kathleen | December 30, 2007 at 04:10 PM
Yeoknow... I didn't know it till now, but I think I always wanted to be a cookie yeoman.
As for Brian, isn't he Billy's brother?
