AJ673 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 There were soooo many great entries that I'd hate to be the judges on this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chinese Apple Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I have a feeling Twitter is holding things up. There are still a LOT of bugs with it. Last week it was apparently hacked by Iranians: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/18/twitter.hacked/index.html. I entered some haikus via Twitter, and my username (like_a_version) was hijacked, so I ended up removing all of my tweets. Here is my favorite of my own entries. It wants an audience.

Wise Enough Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Looks like Mr Kinsley may have had some luck, congratulations! Unfortunately I had no luck, though it was nice to have hope just for a little while. But now thats gone I shall go back to bed deflated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
holyshit Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I won what I already have---W(TA) vinyl and a tote---but am thrilled to be starting out the new year on such a positive note! Congratulations to everyone else here who got a nod...and did anyone in the band actually read the entries? That's almost scary... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Congratulations to everyone else here who got a nod...and did anyone in the band actually read the entries? That's almost scary... your tote and vinylcollection has now doubledwant one off your hands? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 your tote and vinylcollection has now doubledwant one off your hands? Yeah, lets have a Haiku contest to win your extra stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Yeah, lets have a Haiku contest to win your extra stuff.How about a dirty limerick contest instead! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Cool! I am slightly bummed that one of my students didn't win. I may have unintentionally screwed them by submitting theirs all in one email. Hey HolyShit (that sounds funny) which one was yours? I'd rather have the tote/album. Wanna swap? I'll give them your address and you give them mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
holyshit Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I am sure, Mr. Kinsley, that your students are/will be thrilled to hear of your Major Award! The accusations of cheating will come a little later. I would be interested in a swap, if it doesn't make us look like total ingrates. I haven't received any official notice from them, though; have you? They must have my email address, but nothing more. By the way, good going on your first place finish; mine was the "smoking towers" one. And thumbs up to Sir Stewart, too! God, we're all so creative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Well done Susan! I liked that one. I'm fairly ignorant about real names around this place - which one was Sir Stewart? Did he win the guitar? PM on the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pnk Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi folks. I'm stoked beyond belief: I'm the guy who won the guitar. The crazy thing is that I entered the contest specifically *because* I really need a new guitar. I'm in a band, we've been writing some more "rock" sounding stuff, and the hollow-body I've been playing for years just doesn't have the crunch I want. I expect that problem has just been solved, courtesy of one of my all time favorite bands. I joined this forum a bunch of years ago but forgot my login, so I just rejoined today. It's fair to say my feelings for Wilco have deepened significantly in the last day. : ) Congrats to the other winners. There are some good ones up there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Kinsley Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Congrats and welcome back!! (OK everyone, jump out and beat him up on the count of 3. One... two... ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Congrats on the win. Interesting that you will be using the guitar with all of the signatures on it. I would think that you would want to put that up on the wall "ala hard rock". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 which one was Sir Stewart? Oh I didn't win nuthin - just trying to get free stuff after the fact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would think that you would want to put that up on the wall "ala hard rock". Thanks! And yeah, I know what you mean. I guess I'll just see how I feel after I get it. I suspect my desire for a new instrument will outweigh my desire for memorabilia, though it may be too cool a thing not to display it somewhere in between gigs. I'll report back, after I have a chance to play it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
