Yes! It's the day we've all been waiting for... the tallying is complete! Word is the results will be posted today over at The Republic of Dogs (that is if AG's computer gods are smiling on her C-drive).
However, announcements aside, I thought it would be a nice time to recap all of the wonderful entries we received and judged this past holiday season. Listed below are all of the previous posts in the reverse order they were received (at least by us). :) I'd put them in the opposite order, but am short on time.
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
Everyone sent something awesome. Everyone sent something different. It was wonderful to be on the receiving end and although my thighs will regret it for months to come, the rest of me is incredibly appreciative that we got to be a part of this.
The past month or so was hectic in any number of ways, some serious, some not so serious and yet every day or so, a *real*package from an *invisible* blogger would show up on our doorstep or at Grizzled's office. It made me feel like I was 7 again when my father's international business colleagues would send strange and wondrous things to our home. It definitely put a smile on my face and a smack on my lips.
Thank you to everyone who contributed. Thank you to everyone who baked and mailed during an insanely busy time. Thank you as well to all of those who just came out to play even if it was just in the form of silly comments. I can now put my Cookie Queen Crown to rest and start packing up Corn Man.
For the results, I now turn you in the direction of one of my esteemed judging colleagues. AG will hopefully work out a deal with the computer gods and will post later today.
Woo-hoo!!!
The suspense! It is unbearable!

Why? We already know I won.

It's in AG's hands?
We are ALL screwed.

No one bribed harder than us.

now billy, AG is incredibly competent and I trust her judgement as well as the UC's sheer ability to consume. It's her wee cruel streak that I'd consider. Proper compliments take time. No offense AG, it's beyond endearing.

The suspense has killed me, or rather I have been extincted waiting for this.

Thank you, mdHatter. It's nice to have a friend on these cold here blogs.
Billy, seriously?!!
Um, AG has been VERY sick as of late. I nearly died, thank you. No seriously -- I had to be put on more than 1700 mg BID of Arithro. That is not good. Nietze kiet!
Then my computer cord was left in PHL, I had to park in the $14/day lot and I LOST my keys last night at 11 PM in the FREEZING cold on my Bubie's birthday.
AG almost hung herself, thank you!
Jerkhole.
Thanks again to Jennifer being the most fun Queen. It was a blast.
