[MesquiteMan]

I sure hope my prize for most disgusting is not a bag of poo! Well, then again, I did have some post in the contest thread that they wanted to buy some pens like this. Hey, maybe I can make a killing selling cat crap pen blanks. I can see it now, "The Original Cat Crap Blank"™. I could even take out an add in Stylus Magazine!

Anyway, this was a fun contest and thank you for choosing me to win my category!

Nope.. your prize is a Dog Hair Pen :biggrin:

 

[Skye]

I bought some fake vomit, was going to wrap a tube and cast it like snake skin. Never got the spare time. So, now I've got $10 (shipping was half of it) worth of fake vomit with nothing to do.

Congrats to the winners!

 

[sparhawk]

Theres always next year Skye!

 

[rej19]

My pen was so ugly I thought I would get banned so I didn't enter.

 

[NewLondon88]

I sure hope my prize for most disgusting is not a bag of poo!

Um .. Dario? You'd better call Carol at Alumilite and change the order ..

 

[Greg O'Sherwood]

Wow, I won for Best Comment?? I really thought "Mrs Farley's Mu-Mu" was obscure enough to be missed, but apparently the judges are fans.

It was the only contest in this thread I could win, you know, since I've never made an ugly pen...

Thanks to IAP, the judges, the prize donors, everyone who participated, my acting coach, my lovely wife and kids and most of all...my agent!!!

You like me, YOU REALLY LIKE ME!!!!:wink:

Skye - I can't imagine that fake vomit would go without a use for long - especially around this group!

I am working on the prizes. Unfortunately, I also have to WORK at the same time, so it's going slow. Soon, soon . . . .

Scott

 

[workinforwood]

[BruceK]

I want to thank the academy for this honor!

3rd place butt ugly pen!

 

[GouletPens]

Well, my wife and I are both glad to know that even our ugliest pens aren't as bad as all of yours!!!!:tongue::biggrin:

 

[tim self]

Well, my wife and I are both glad to know that even our ugliest pens aren't as bad as all of yours!!!!:tongue::biggrin:

Brian, it takes a LOT of practice to make a pen as ugly as ours. Even when we don't mean to! You just need more practice. You spend so much time making sophisticated work you don't have time to dedicate to a truly ugly pen.

[NewLondon88]

Come and knock on our door ...

 

[Greg O'Sherwood]

Speaking of "Come and knock on our door"!!!

I got a delivery the other day, and guess what it was...
No, not a one-of-a-kind-knockoff mu-mu from Mrs. Furley (or was it Mrs Roper???), it's my award from WoodTurningz!!!

WooHoo! Thanks Ryan for sponsoring with this award and all the other sponsors, as well! Thanks to IAP!

Check out what I got for being a slightly larger wisea$$ than the rest of you!! (Ryan let me choose, and the kids helped).

20 Acrylester pen blanks!
