sackyhack:

I think they should pick a new user who sets a good example for other new users....did I win??  No?  *begins to unbutton shirt slowly* how about now?  No I'm not wearing a black wool sweater under my shirt, why do you ask?

I don't know, you and lifeskills might be the good examples here, all the other ones are generic Charlie Browns (fat78).

Quote from the first page:

"The contest will run through July, and we'll announce the winner on Monday, August 2, 2010."

So technically... the contest may very well already be over and a winner is already chosen :-P

@Tom,

Wilted Flower  It's never, ever, time to pay for it,......never.  Wilted Flower

Not because you're ugly or handsome, or rich or poor. Not because your 'wee one' is really wee, or not even if you go to parties and sit around 'licking your own eyebrows' to attract attention.

You never pay for it because it makes it less and not special, like pooping or something.

  If it has no heart or feelings to it then it isn't worth doing. Especially for money.

Also, if someone wins this, then it's over, right then and there. If they want to donate it to the relief efforts in Haiti or give it to the one who has their heart, it's no business of anyone's but the winner. Giving it to the significant other is really a smart move, but I'd strip it down first! Yuk-Yuk!.


 

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

OK Neil, you put way to much thought into it :P
 
What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. I never have had to worry about the wee one, or a hell-no face :) But there are others out there who need to obtain things like Bentley's or Rolex's in order to attract others in their hunting routines.  Winning something like this should be just as special as having to save up for it yourself! Yet some people still look at it as just another toy, like pooping! They will just do it again?
 

We are all prostitutes in one form or another, if you have never done anything that gained you a paycheck or received "special" favors in one form or another, then I would tend to agree. Then you would probably be some Buddhist monk living a solitary life from birth, in the hills of Tibet. I just always try and do what is right for me, and help others the same way. Then hope that others are just as happy. Kinda like this contest, we all just have to hope and see what comes our way. yet like dating you get what you pay for, one way or another :( So don't say you have never had to sit through a chick flick?!
Besides, if my SO, wants it she better strip down first...Yul-Yuk ! Devil

 We all just hope for the best and see what comes our way. My dating routine and philosophy on life has always been like Hudson in "Aliens" .... because if you don't play you cant win, or loose? You kinda have to walk into it and see what comes your way, So go in and say ....
 
"Come on! Come on! Come and get it, baby! Come on! I don't got all day! Come on! Come on! Come on you @!%#$! Come on, you too! Oh, you want some of this?"
 
If that fails just say "Game over man...Game over....!! Why don't you put her in charge......":(

Good luck to all, You will know before me since the time difference from New York, to the middle of the Pacific :P

animatortom:

That's 99.9999% of people born without a silver spoon in their mouths. Sure I worked for many years, was in the Army, and built Spaceships too.

animatortom:

Why worry about it anyway? (even a tiny one feels like it's a monster)

animatortom:

Oh crap,... goodnight, I just don't have the energy right now.

Goodnight Tom, and all of you, and good luck too.
