8. ahhhhhh shucks................

thanks.
As far as winning another. Well, I ordered some bamboo seedlings and when they arrive in the Spring I wil plant them and in a few years when they are big enough I will cut some down and then I will split some into tiny slivers and then I will jam them under my fingernails and then I will decided if that process is any less painful than winning another contest and then I will get back to you.

16. Congrats to the winners.

Once in a While was that perfect Tis the Season shot. Also I tend to think the bamboo splinters under the nails would be less stress than hosting a contest. You did a great job jhain and during a stressful time of year to boot.
