Monday, June 19, 2006We Have a Winner, Folks!Well, we didn't quite make it to 50 comments, but I'm delighted with the response. There's something exhilarating about watching people get in touch with their creativity. And in some cases, with their innate weirdness. At any rate, the winner was chosen by random in the old fashioned, draw-the-name-out-of-a-box method. But before I announce the lucky chocolate recipient, I want to shine a spotlight on a few of my favorite contest entries. The Most Male Chauvinistic Response Award goes to Ken: Chocolate is better than women because you never have to buy a box of chocolates for a box of chocolates. The Most Creative Entry in the Junior Division goes to Isabel, six-year-old daughter of Will B Dunn: Chocolate is better than onions because it doesn't give you bad breath or make you cry. Best Entry for Play On Words goes to Will B Dunn's husband: Chocolate is better than bumble bees because you can get a buzz without getting stung. The Most Poignant Award goes to Jamie: Chocolate is better than a birthday because even when it's bittersweet, you don't get any older. The Pathos Award goes to Dave: Chocolate is better than my first wife, because it doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth! And, finally, the So Lame That It's Funny Award goes, affectionately, to MrsAtroxi: Chocolate is better than chicken because it has no bones. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your entries! If you haven't read through them all, do take a minute to do so. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: The winner of a mini box of truffles from The Cocoa Tree is: Ken! Congratulations, Ken. Send me an email with your mailing address and your choice of mini combination: Light, Dark, or Favorite (see the web site for a description of each). Or, you can choose a single flavor from the list on their web site, and you will receive two truffles in the single flavor of your choice. I'd be glad to give you some recommendations! Thank you all for participating. Tomorrow it'll be Blogging As Usual! |

Oh sure...the chauvinistic guy wins the chocolate. That just somehow doesn't sound right. I think he should share!
Are you kidding!? I'm going to have to share with my wife and hopefully we can keep it from the kids! I'd hide it from the wife as well but she'll smell it in the mailbox!
:-)
Ken
Congrat Ken :)...
Like I said - not good at writing creative...
Yay! Honorable mentions rawk! :D
(Actually, I think So Lame That It's Funny could describe a good portion of...ME. Ha!)
Congrats, Ken! Think of all of us while you're chowing down!
Thank you, Jillian! This was lots of fun. :)
Pathos? Wasn't he a Musketeer? Hmmm... 3 musketeers... mmmmm CHOCOLATE!
This blog is a fun place to hang out. Hey Jillian, did you ever think about starting up a discussion group? I think it would be awesome.... :0)
