10,000th Comment - who wants it?

01/16/2009 08:56:20 PM · #27

Alrighty - 16 contestants, but only ONE will become the ~~next American Idol!~~ one that I give my ten thousandth comment to...

I am going to do this lotto style. I will write the image numbers--- no wait, I will print out the thumbs and glue them onto ping pong balls and put them in a big pretzel barrel (like this one) and I'll walk to the top of my hill and roll it all the way down, chasing it with a stick in case it veers off course and when we get to the bottom, I'll open it up, reach in, grab one and look at the picture and decide if it is the one I want to comment on. If not, I'll grab another one and so on and so on. See, I'm like King Solomon when it comes to devising the most fair way to make important decisions like this.

Now I am off to the store to purchase 16 ping pong balls...

There once was a DPC sinner
Who pillaged and burned the town for his dinner
But when Godzilla did say
"No more for today!"

hahahhaa.

I actually checked my email first, and saw your comment on my New Canada and thought, "no way, that's not even a photo!!! I don't deserve that!"

So it's with a lightened heart that I see that you commented on everyone's and you're a real trooper and an irreplaceable part of DPC.

Rock on Wayne.

Oh! I missed this 10,000th comment contest.
But, Art, can I have a comment on this.

The picture didn't do too well on voting, yet I am attached to it
in some way. Any comment from you (or anyone else who is interested), will
help me to understand, if I am going the right way or if I am being too wishful.

Thanks!
