Thank you to everyone who played along with me! I had a blast reading through all your answers, and can I just mention how HARD it was to choose? I’m thinking I’ll have to do this again some time. Okay, so tallying up the scores, here are the winners:
1st Place:
2nd Place:
3rd Place (TIE):
Since there are 4 winners, I’ll add Mystery Prize Pack #2. First place gets the prize pack of his choice and then so on with the leftovers. I have e-mailed them all and will have shiny prizes in the mail as soon as the choices are all in. Thanks again for playing!
*Note: The author of this post does not encourage the use of the word Turd. π

Hooray for falling of chairs.
LOL I always manage to time my vacations when you do these great contests. And it doesn't matter what time to the year you do them, my husband always books our vacation for that date. π
Congratulations, winners! Of course, I'm horribly jealous of you all, but at the same time, I think you deserved to win. Great answers!! π

Congratulations to the winners! (I'm still bummed I missed out on this. Apples to Apples is one of my favorite games.)
Thanks for the honorable mention. Though I guess I'd have to thank Matt MacNish.
Congrats to MikeS, Lenny Lee, Chris Philips, and LTM.
This was fun. You need to do this again!
