WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT?
Mudboy, here they all are, in their glory, rescued from the smokey backroom. I now can think of 20 scarey things about that thread! Not coincidentally, I've posted all of our contestants' entries in the above posts in this thread. This thread is now open to comment by any and all, but the above posts will let Mudslim Boy and me, your judges, compare carefully. Of course, we both plan to be drunk when judging, so no one get their hopes up. I'll announce the 3 finalists at 10 p.m. in this thread and am preparing to imbibe. In some real sense, Sam Adams is the judge here!

Entry
Mud, notice people were “still posting” and then as our contest continued more contestants at least claimed to be “happy Freeperes.” Pat yourself on the back, sport, we’ve made this little corner of the world a little sunnier.
The ping list of contestants, with bribes noted, is: Brian Allen; Forgiven_Sinner; harpo11, Vets_Husband_and_Wife; dubyagee (um, one of his lists is basically an ode to Mud); Miss Marple; Indy Pendance; Chad Fairbanks (bribe at post 1947: photo of Ann Coulter; bribe at post 1975: charmingly brutal question); one_particular_harbour; timesink; ArneFufkin; Physicist; Dianna; paulklenk (hilarious non-list posts); jake0001; bluesduke; JulieRNR21 (bribe at post 1921 – animated chocolate kisses; post 796: butterfly)
