Update: The winner will be chosen solely by judging their entries. That's the way it always was and should be. I was merely trying to fill some time until AG gets her ducks in a row. It was also a ploy for comments! Hey, you can't blame a gal for trying!! Anyhow, as I've said before to all of those who've asked, most of the numbers have been crunched, we're just waiting on some final number crunching and perhaps one lost package. You've all been patient, but unfortunately only time will tell.
On a purely selfish note- all moose references were enjoyed and appreciated. :)
Vive le moose!
Because AG is no where in sight and people are still sending in baked goods even though the deadline was oh so 2007, I am going to declare a winner to whomever can tip my blog comments over a magical number. Yes, that's right. I need comments people! My blog, humble though it may be, is approaching a magical number. If your comment is the one to make it reach that elusive place, you win. End of story.
There will be no limit to the number of comments one may leave on any given day. There may be special awards given for the number of times "moose" can be worked into any given comment. There may be awards given the comment that makes me spit my coffee out the most number of times.
Let me hear you people!! There's a crown to be had, dammit!
I AM THE WORLD'S LARGEST ELK AND SHALL STOMP ON ANY MEESE WHETHER COOKIE OR MEAT. ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR

Here I was all ready to type out a long sentence one word at a time and my comment got flagged as spam. I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!

I think BG was the one person who laughed at Welcome to Mooseport.
Posted by: Kathleen | January 04, 2008 at 04:23 PM
Shannon- I don't know if you guys get the actual numbers. I never saw mine. I'll ask BG, first winner and judge from last year.
Also- while making me spit out coffee is to be rewarded, making me pee will not be!!!
The UN approach of Team Chicago was appreciated.
Posted by: Jennifer | January 04, 2008 at 04:40 PM
I just realized... if I follow my own rules, I can win AGAIN!!! Moose be time for another comment!

Why do moose have such big antlers?
For better radio reception. They're moosic lovers.
Posted by: blue girl | January 04, 2008 at 04:47 PM
This should be naughty enough for Jennifer:
Q: How can you tell if a guy like Moosehead beer?
A: By the antler marks on his thighs.
Also, what's a moose's favourite 50's pinup girl?
Elke Sommer.
J'ai vaincu!
Posted by: Mendacious D | January 04, 2008 at 04:53 PM
Naughty enough?? I seem to have gotten a bad rap....
And I even knew who Elke Sommer was without the help of Wikipedia, but extra points for the pun.
However... you've overcome nothing Mr. MenD!!!
Posted by: Jennifer | January 04, 2008 at 05:02 PM
AG takes one vacation since like November and the world fall's apart?
There will be no winners until 15 January or after. RoD rules. We just roll that way.
We also have Plover's entry. Shore bird had dinner with AG the other night and pictures and tastings were done. Monkey Boy: Game on. (K-unit, did you get UC's message?!! I am sooo sad and you get a whole day when I come out for Blogher. AG feels soooo bad!!)
Has Midniter's or Chuckles come yet?!! God dammit.
AG wants to win a prize. Can I ban Billy Pilgrim and eat a chili dog and win? Speaking of which, BP we had chili in San Fran!!!!
Posted by: Adorable Girlfriend | January 04, 2008 at 05:43 PM
I got the message AG, and it's totally cool! I am just glad you guys got out last night, because SFO is CRAZY today!
I was actually leaving SF when I got the message and then my phone died after I heard "We're at Mel's Diner" which is of course so easy for me to get to, so then I felt bad. But I was relieved to get home a listen to the rest! And now I have UC's voice saved on my cell phone!!!
Top that SINK LETTUCE!!
Looking forward to Blogher adventures AG. :)

There's this guy, Wayne, from Maine that my friends kids like who tells of the day the moose got loose... In Moosachusetts.

oh AG I just read your post about the flight home! I can't comment at ROD, but I am so sorry! That suxxors.
Posted by: Kathleen | January 04, 2008 at 07:10 PM
I have had Team Chicago shortbread, and it is DELICIOUS. It's like a tiny Second Coming of Jesus on your taste buds.
Posted by: Jewben | January 04, 2008 at 07:12 PM
I'm dead and buried but I still would like to win something.
Posted by: The IKEA Gingerbread House | January 04, 2008 at 07:42 PM
Look at that, I've got a page to myself.
Posted by: The IKEA Gingerbread House | January 04, 2008 at 07:48 PM
The Atlas Building, where the Project Runway contestants used to stay before this season, has a big black and white artsy (fuzzy) picture of the plumber's crack of a model at the end of the hall with the elevators on the first floor. Someone I know got a pic of it. Someone I know actually keeps thinking it may be a model pic from the 70s of Catherine Deneuve, but someone I know is probably wrong. Since you're all over Project Runway, someone I know thought you'd vaguely be interested, and that a fun place to eat just a few doors down is the P.S. Diner. Someone I know got a photo of part of the interior of that too.
The cold water in the Atlas Building comes out of the taps HOT. Never seen anything like it. Someone I know nearly scalded herself and yelped.
The Atlas Building is touted as being luxury apartments, and they sure are a good large size for New York apartments, but it seems for being as new as they are there shouldn't be cracks in the walls and in the caulking around the bathtub. But I guess that just comes with a building that size...settling.
Tons of closet space.
The view from up high is, admittedly, awesome.
Parking is $68 a night. Someone I know left their car parked on the street in Queens for a week.
The Atlas Building is surrounded by wholesale shops with really cheap looking goods in their windows. Like not-so-quality primo-vivid prom dresses Minnie Mouse's wayward great great granddaughter would be caught dead in chugging Hawaiian punch vodka martinis in a rented limo behind the McDonalds where her boyfriend works. Someone I know has never watched Project Runway and doesn't know if daily passing by these dresses may have served as inspiration.

Lookie there, I've still got a page to myself. Whoo-whoo! Party.
Gonna party.
Ain't gonna win a thing.
But gonna party on this page by myself.
Gotta free license to party.
Comment all you want, she said.
Comment away.
Why do I feel like I've just opened a fresh box of spanking white Kleenex and am blowing my nose all over the place.
Party.

I was half baked once... does that count for the Crown????
Posted by: Mary Jane | January 04, 2008 at 08:28 PM
And I STILL have this page all to my self! Wow!
Hmmm. Feel like I'm on a trip and am staying at someone else's apartment (as someone I know recently did) and feeling pretty cozy at home despite it being someone else's apartment because so freaking much is being paid to stay there...so I take the pics of the kids and wife down and stack them in a corner so I don't have to look at their smiling faces, and I spread, really spread my crap all over the place and raid a Cola from the frig. Pop it open. And, as I stand gazing out over 5th Avenue, I think of
no impact man
Posted by: The IKEA Gingerbread House | January 04, 2008 at 08:39 PM
Oh, crap. I no longer have the page to myself. That's what I get for getting caught up in conversation about tabouli instead of punching the post button.
Posted by: The IKEA Gingerbread House | January 04, 2008 at 08:41 PM
Tabouli, look at that, Mary Jane crashed my hinterland second page solo comment carte blanche party.

I did not buy any of these candies that adorn me. I did not make any of them. They were all donated to me so that I would not take from the earth. I could have used that Ikea Gingerbread House though, but alas, it was THROWN AWAY!!! :(

It's like an all you can eat buffet comment wall.

We owe you. And you gotta love UC's sexy femme voice!!

Team Chicago is wicked awesome. I bet their shortbread is, too.

Who is Jewben?
AG needs to know.
Right now!!!!!!
Posted by: Adorable Girlfriend | January 05, 2008 at 12:01 AM
I'm with AG on this one. The winner's gotta be the real winner. But just in case: moose.
Posted by: Mandos | January 05, 2008 at 01:41 AM
Team Chicago shortbread is akin to heroin. It feels so good, is highly addictive and has to be injected into your veins.
Ok that last one was a lie but the rest are true.
Posted by: Elawl | January 05, 2008 at 07:28 AM
Team Chicago all the way, man. For cereal. Well. For shortbread.
Posted by: Jenibucket | January 05, 2008 at 11:57 AM
Team Chicago takes the cake. Well, bread.
Posted by: Hana | January 05, 2008 at 12:02 PM
I would like to see AG get it together and actually judge an entry once in a damn while. WTH?
Posted by: Chuckles | January 07, 2008 at 09:06 AM
I have a question.
Why is JewBen talking about Jesus coming on his tastebuds?
This blog needs an ombudsman for these difficult questions. I nominate Chuckles.
Posted by: billy pilgrim | January 07, 2008 at 02:08 PM
First of all, FUCKLES, AG judged in 2005 with all the stoners. A task you might know a little about from one side. So shut up!
Secondly, AG has judged and had lengthy discussions about how to judge, what to judge, etc. for 2007 over the weekend.
Third of all, you are a total corn hole! Shut up unless you actually have cookies in the game.
Fourth, BP -- I agree that an OMPP needs to be assigned by Fuckles is not the person this PA voter is selecting in the primaries.
-I am AG and I approve of this message.
