Well, we need to use the tie breaker. Eric's made-up holiday of National Computer Month is in March UNLESS Easter falls in March. In any year that Easter falls in March, we celebrate National Computer Month in April.

The tie breaker will be between John Neale who guessed March and Uli-belle who guessed April. I will pm both of them shortly. John and Uli will have until 5pm-ish Sunday (Pacific Time) to post computer food puns. The person who comes up with the most pun dishes that I've actually served at a National Computer Month dinner party will be the winner. Little hint - I have puns across many food categories - beverages, appetizers, entrees, sides, desserts etc. And Jim, I enjoyed your puns but I have not served any of those dishes at parties.

With Angela's permission, I would like to let John have this win, as this year, Eric's National Computer Month was in March.

Sauteed greens with bacon BITS

Ang, I wanted to give the win to John, but he hasn't been seen. Can I go ahead and post a new contest question? I got one ready.

Gosh, I don't play on this thread often. Are there rules regarding "winners in absentia?"
