Unfortunately, I will have to sit out on this contest. I've never had much luck in writing from a humorous vein. I AM looking forward to reading the entries, though.

Most of the time, my writing comes from out in the left-field of my character - a character which is normally on the odd-ball, weird humor side - so the result is usually a "deep" outpouring. So, I'm really intrigued by what possible creations you folks come out with. Who knows? Maybe something'll click and I can pull something out one day.

Oh, and deemarie: there is nothing more annoying that a teenaged girl giggling - but nothing more attractive that an adult woman giggling. Keep it up!!

Mmmm....coofffeee. Oops! So much for the better spelling! LOL -j.p.

(Clarified) Dang this was tough! You folks REALLY did a great job working with the concept. It was incredibly difficult trying to pull three out - and then put them in an order. Too much brain work for a weekend! Okay, here goes: BinkiKitty - 1 Garblesnix - 2 Jstro - 3 Bravo to all!! -j.p.

Hold on, hold on! I'm still reading! ;-p

All right! Plenty of responses. Looking forward to soaking in the stories. Tough part will be choosing!!

S'okay, s'alright! And rest assured, there are at least two of us who have not read a Potter book.

"Harry" "Henry" or otherwise! ;-)

Good reminder dialyn. "promising eggs" - not a bad concept! ;-)

Jstro: If you expect nothing, don't be surprised if you get it! Be excited and be positive! The very act of sending your story in is perfect logic to attack this from a positive side! Is this one that you have posted to your gallery? Would love to read it!

Keep it up cara! I know your thumbnails definitely grab attention! I'm sure once someone reads your writings (in the general gallery) that they will only want more of the same! So thanks for giving this group the attention it deserves! ;->

Wonderful! You veterans deserve to be recognized for the amazing talent you share!

Wow. I'm humbled to even be in the top three. All the writers here were very impressive. Congrats to tedz and guarami!! Incredible shtuff!

Mucho appreciation goes to a wonderful lady, without whom I'd have never even KNOWN about this forum. She's an inspiration and blessing to know: Stormi (http://www.renderosity.com/gallery.ez?ByArtist=Yes&Artist=Stormi)
Thanks for the "push"!

Have a wonderful New Year folks!

-j.p.

Nice visuals folks! Here we go: 1. FWTempest (It's "comfort food"!!) 2. randym77 (I have a 15 year old - I concur!) 3. dialyn (my beastie would be the 15 year old I mentioned above!) All were terrific! -j.p.

Makes for great cursing in comic strips! hee hee hee

cara: I guess "Wingdings" doesn't qualify for "sarcasm font", eh?
