Our lucky winner has one week to let the Cruise Contest Committee know if they will be accepting their prize.

If for any reason, Trikebuilder, cannot "fulfill his duties" and make the trip, another winner will be selected from the pool of qualified contestants.

Trikebuilder, you lucky FReeper you, I see by your profile page that your location is Minnesota. So, you might be interested in these little facts...

CURRENT TEMPERATURE IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA IS 10 DEGREES

CURRENT TEMPERATURE IN GEORGE TOWN, GRAND CAYMAN IS 73 DEGREES!!

"Thanks to all the creative FReepers who participated in the 'Tom Freepie' Cruise Contest," said dittomom gratefully.

[Molly Pitcher]

Hey, Hey!! Congrats Trike! You'll have so much fun!!

dittomom, this was fun, but I may need help: still trying to come up with the Tom Swifties, er, Tom Freepies...whatever;^))

[Molly Pitcher]

You'll have fun, too! LOL!

[Molly Pitcher]

Good job, dittomom!

[Hell to pay]

So what was the winning Tom freepie?

[Conservababe]

I feel deflated. It must have been those pins and needles. LOL

Congratulations Trikebuilder.

Congratulations!!! Be sure to measure your dining room table, because Grand Cayman has THE most beautiful embroidered, cutwork tablecloths.[and I bought the wrong size!]

[MinuteGal]

"I'm so happy for you, Trikebuilder", said Tom tirelessly.

Congratulations, fellow freeper. We look forward to seeing you on board the good ship Triumph!

It would have been WAY TOO hard to pick a "winning" Tom Freepie - there were so many hilarious and clever ones posted!!!

Anyone who posted two Tom Freepies in each week of the contest was placed in a blind drawing. Jim Robinson randomly picked a number - and VOILA!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

[Conservababe]

Thank yall for a great contest and a very good time.

[dittomom]

You are most welcome. Thank YOU for all your very punny Tom Freepies - I swear I don't know how you came up with so many!

[Mo1]

I feel deflated. It must have been those pins and needles. LOL

LOL!!

Congrats Trikebuilder

I did that cruise in the early 90's. Hey, tb, be sure to visit "stingray city" when you're in the Caymans, but dont try to bring a conch home in your luggage like I did!!

Turns out the damn things are still alive in there, and boy, do they smell!!

[bmwcyle]

Contrats to Trike!!!!!

[MinuteGal]

I'd like to add my congratulations to the Cruise Contest chair and her committee members. What a great job they did!

Their hard work and the long hours they put in these past several weeks resulted in a terrific contest. What I also loved is that they had fun playing right along with the contestants, even though they were not eligible.

"Well done, Dittomom", said Tom repeatedly.

"A perfect game, Molly Pitcher", said Tom strikingly.

"You're our top banana, Slip 18", said Tom apeelingly.

Luv you all!
