Limerick competition ballot

[Lotana]

The 1st International Somersoft Forum Limerick Competition is now closed. With 22 entries, 10 participants from NSW, Queensland, Victoria, and Gruber - sorry Michael, that's where you say you live - the competition was a definite success!

I take the owner to announce that:

1. In "The best illegal entry" category the winner is - Paulzag and Gelett Burges, Post # 23.
2. In "The most productive author" category the winner is Sim, who sent 9 entries (probably one entry for each IP he has?)

This poll will determine winner in the main category - "The best property poet around". Feel free to vote for more than one entry.

And the winner is...

And the winner is GoMichael from Melbourne!

His perfectly shaped limericks are ironic and sharp, as they are always "poetically correct" (not necessarily politically correct). Michael's poetry expresses the very soul of property investment. His profile says he is interested in song writing. Perhaps our next competition should have a song division?!

Thank you everyone who contributed to the competition and/or participated in the ballot. See you next time.

Say cheese

Yay! \o/

(Feigns Elvis voice) Thank y' very much

I'd like to also thank my collaborator on the least PC limerick -- the Great and Awe-Inspiring GoAnna, of course.

Hey, this is my 10th post in the new forum! I can have an avatar now! Yay again!

And to think that as administrator I could have gone in and edited the results so that I won and got all the glory and got the girl as well (GoAnna was the prize wasn't she ? No ? Oh - well why did I bother then ? *sigh*)

/me goes and manually adjusts GMs post count to be permanently at 9 posts to stop him having an avatar out of spite.
