Well it looks like I'm out. Darn, I was really hoping for 4,000 votes yesterday....

My magic calculator puts the numbers at 125,375 on Jan 21. Let me be the first to pre-congratulate you! (Provided that isn't jinx-ish.)

Just imagining someone crossing their toes makes my foot cramp up.

You're safe. I juggled a gosling to ward off the jinx.

Firefly 122495
so...
2,505
to go... and it is 1/18...

I'd be delight to have us smash all records and put...
MrsCobb - January 19; 125,100

but it looks like we are narrowing down to these three..
Sweetserendipity - January 20; 125,238
Fireflygal – January 21; 125,088
Yinyang - January 23; 125,083

Let's make sure we make one of these folks the winner, and keep those votes rolling in!

Gorram nice! (sorry Traevynn)"



HOE-tze duh PEE-goo! I knew I didn't have much chance but I went with my birthday hoping it would be lucky.

Well, not to be looking like I'm playing favorites, but with the incredible turn out we've had this week, I cannot see any way for this to turn out but one... (knocks on wood) ... best wishes fireflygal! ... (knocks on more wood).

Oh, you're playing favorites. I say you had this fixed the whole time.

I'm not sure how you managed it, but I'm completely sure that you cheated. Manipulated things, I say, to benefit the person that you are predisposed to favor.

You're no longer in the band, man! Take your toys and go home. I don't want to play no more.

- - -

There! That was fun. Got that out of my system. I got to use all of the angry icons! I still don't know when to use this though...

Big congrats to Fireflygal, who is the best gal with firefly in her name! Good job with your guess.

And many thanks to LeadB for starting this contest. Wanna do another? 150k? I'll even pitch in. Send "Flyvote" a message if you would like to do this.

Oh, god! I missed "fork" and "evil" I guess that those two are good for when you want to be forkin' evil!

(OK enough goofing with the emoticons...)

O.K. My guess is... Jan 21 with 125,089 votes!

Wooo hooo! I win!




I really thought that I would be pretty close with my guess in Feb. But, Hey, I'm tickled to be wrong in the right direction to be wrong! Congrats again to FireflyGal!

There will be another contest...

:fireworks:
ok... it didn't work, but you get the idea.

We hit the bit 125K mark today, as much anticipated.

Firefly 125603

Flyvote wins with his... What? His entry was... late!!!... Take that boy out to the wood shed!

The genuine, official, most incredibly accurate guessing contestant is :drumroll:

FIREFLYGAL with her entry of: January 21; 125,088
!!!!

I'd like to thank all of you who participated in our little event here. Lots of good guesses and some genuine fun. In fact... so much fun, I've been asked to put up a run for the 150K mark; expect a thread shortly... new sponsor too!

Speaking of sponsors, I'll be sending a Fly gal a note with details on how to collect her prize.

Very nice acceptance speach... short, to the point, pithy!

For the curious, FireflyGal had to ponder long and hard over what her "prize" should be.

You might recall that the list of prize "points" was select to be a group of vendors which were "disappointed" when... well... you can read it here:
** http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=25916

In her words...
>Actually what I would like to do, one of the vendors at Flan B
>that you missed was the Bedlam Bards. I would like to donate the
>$20 to them since they drove out and played and they are least
>able to afford it of any of the guests.

Needless to say, this was exactly "in spirit" of the intention of the prize selection list; she even did the leg work to figure out how to make the donations (THANKS!).

This also introduced me to the Bards; and I'm saving up my personal pennies to order their "Fire fly themed" cd
"On the Drift"

which can be found here:
http://www.bedlambards.com/recordng.html

The clips sound most intriguing!

Once again, thank you all who entered; for whom without this contest would have been most boring indeed ;-) And thanks to our fun and gracious winner, FireflyGal!
