LOL....I don't even know what to say! Thanks to the prize donors. We really appreciate it.
I would also like to congratulate all of the winners for their outstanding work and I would like to congratulate the losers (winners depending on how you look at it) for their outstanding work.

Now if I could just get the flies off of my pen stand!;)

There are nasty looking pens here. But Jeff, don't put these on the home page or nobody will join - they'll think that's all we can do.:D[:0]

To Bill Baumbeck:
Your entry in the ugly pen contest is so disgustingly frightful; I instantly lapsed into the vapors, almost swallowing my tongue and loosing all vision in one eye. Thank goodness no children were present.
