    Bill Merchant, I would like to congratulate you, you are the winner in my eyes. You didn't even have to say a word and got so many votes that I am amazed.
    I also wanted to apologize for setting a trend to use your face in our funny photoshop creations. I wish you had said something sooner but be assured I will not play with your face again. I hope you understand that I meant no harm to you.

    Also, thank you everyone for voting for my avatar. I am sad it is over. It's been very entertaining.

    Bill, I would like to thank you for letting me nominate you as Pres...I always appreciate your humor and your posts!

    And Maggie, I hope you know I respect you and in no way wanted to demean your reputation but I figured it was my political responsiblity and duty to lead the cause by doing good campaining with the proper balance of sly brown-nosing mixed with mudslinging, namecalling, a slight bit of slander, and mostly bringing into question your good reputation!

    I had hoped I would had done a better job, but politics is not my bag and it looks like following in the path of the experts by resorting to low down nasty tactics did not pay off.....

    I guess Bill will have to hire someone else next time.... I'm not very good at this.

    So I hope you know it was all mean't in gest and I hope all is well now that the election is over, and that we can go back to being buddies? :wub:

    P.S. I know I left you speechless didn't I?
    Just don't appear too excited about the buddy part.. Bill sometimes gets jealous if someone else gets too much attention!

    you will of course need a Terms of Agreement written up so as not to have any questions or concerns about how your likeness will be handled in the future. i know a good lawyer who can help you out for under a quarter mil...(just barely under)

    of course, if you make more than 10 million a year, you will be able to write off all that as misc tax credit...

    and speaking of humor at the expense of cheney...

    [attachmentid=1550]

    ANYWAY
    way to go maggie and Bill, especially Bill for his good sense of humor about the whole thing. he deserves a priuschat t shirt and a pat on the back, and someone out there in the area please buy him a beer or something on behalf of all of us. :)

    you're both priuschat celebrities!

    I've had more than my 15 minutes! Actually, I was thinking of something to do with New Year's resolutions, but someone beat me to it.

    Anyway, it's noon here, and I need to go out and start my Xmas shopping. :eek: We're having a warm spell (low 60's, warm rain), so it's a little hard to get in the mood.

    Maybe something will percolate in my brain tomorrow after we clean up all the torn-up wrapping paper. We do have a little stretch run 'til Jan 2 yet.

    Congrats, Bill & Maggie!!!

    Bill, you're still a winner, especially for being such a gentleman over the Prius Chick photos. Not only should you get a PC shirt... but also a "My face was used without my permission on a bunch of Photoshopped pics, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" shirt!! Plus, I think you should demand a re-count. I was trying to vote for you, but I clicked the button next to Maggie's name by mistake.

    :blink:


    Jack06, thanks for such a fun couple o' weeks. This contest has me thinking up all sorts of ideas.....

    Go for it, Brian. I need a rest. Just started my Xmas shopping at noon today. Even sneaked by my dealer to see what was up. '06s stacking like cordwood: 3 whites, red, silver, driftwood. Dealer's putting Sold signs on the dash: 1/2, 1/3, etc., for when people pick them up.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Maggie. Perhaps my choice to hold onto my 1000th post worked against me. We're pretty close on the post counts. I think you went through your number 1000 during this contest too.

    I had a good laugh at all the Prius Chick posts too, but my face is still mine and I didn't want anyone to lose track of that.

    Maybe Danny will give us both PriusChat T-shirts... :)
