Since Lynn hasn't responded yet either, can I still claim it? Of course, that would mean I have to find a picture and post it...) Was about to head off to bed - but I'll quickly pm her first! :) edit: Ahem.. as I was saying... as Lynn seems to be busy elsewhere at the moment - David is back and in charge of the thread... :) ID: 1548289 ·

You may take a cue from the on-screen graphics or ignore them as you see fit. (If your inclination is to get snarky about Fox News, that's fine as long as it doesn't get the thread moved to Politics.) (I promise that non-Fox-snark entries will get due consideration.)

BTW, I don't think I ever thanked Annie for choosing me as the winner of the last one. Glad it tickled your fancy.

Also to Julie for the Cafe Seti in-joke. And to rob smith for ignoring the graphics (as I said was allowable). Okay, third place to Monday: Well as usual it's totally boring here in Boston...No wait there's someone eating an ice-cream. Second place to Dena, who doesn't want to win but might have: I don't have a clue why I am here or what I am supposed to talk about but give me a moment and I will think of something. Which leaves me with <flips a coin> (not really) Steven Meyer winning with: One if by sea, two if -- no wait. Two if by land -- er -- fudge it! There's a guy in an orange shirt coming!
