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. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Well Uli-belle, if you wish to concede that is ok. I will pm John and let him know he is the winner. And for the punsters out there, here are a few items I've placed on my er... uh... GROANING board. Cocktails: COMMODORES APPLE brandy coolers ROM Collins SUNny Screwdrivers Appetizers: Sausage BYTES (pretty much any tidbit on a toothpick works with the BYTES pun) Computer BUGS in the grass (pickled celery sticks & green beans with black olives) CHIPS and dip Entrees and Sides: BASIC roast chicken MAC 'n cheese Sauteed greens with bacon BITS Dessert: APPLE pie, of course!!! |

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