Applause!!! I'd like to apologize for ever thinking up this stupid idea, but now that everybody likes it so much, I'll just thank everyone for participating, those who did, and those who didn't ... I thank you too because we probably wouldn't want to look at those tent pegs or bowling pins you have for gastrocnemius muscles. :-)

Thank you Judge Priddy for being fair. David Dillon did win fair and square in the men's division. Shame on Lonnie for ... well you know.

I couldn't pick a female winner anyway. They were all good.

We may now return to our regularly scheduled mayhem...

Thanks, Elizabeth, for bringing a satisfying (and swift) end to this.

I think I'll go bite my lower lip and cry just a little bit.

Lonnie Lazar

July 15, 2008 10:54 PM

ePriddy, I'll have you doing all our staff evaluation and also probably making our hires. Excellent judgment. But that Karl Rove photo will give me nightmares.

Joan Walsh

July 15, 2008 10:56 PM

As its author intended, no doubt.

Thank you for letting us lighten up and have a little fun on your dime!

And now we can all get back to more serious fluff...I mean stuff.

Elizabeth Priddy

July 15, 2008 10:58 PM

And don't cry, Lonnie, you are my nekkid hero.
Cheeky is good.

Gotta tell you what a great guy my hubby is. I went to him in jean shorts, t shirt and red heels and asked him to talk my pic, knees down. He did. No questions asked. I guess 17 years with me has taught him to not be surprised at anything and to not ask too many questions.

Julie Delio

Great job, ePriddy! When we have a meta-award show for awards (sometime) I'm sure that this presentation of yours will be a hot contender in many categories, including cheekiness.

I covered his ass! Literally.

Elizabeth Priddy

July 15, 2008 11:12 PM

Hooray for ePriddy!! I think you displayed the wisdom of Solomon in this, and I couldn't agree more with your choices ! Well done. Thanks Elizabeth

July 15, 2008 11:21 PM

I seriously hope I didn't miss anybody.
It was fun, like kid fun. And that is a good kind.

Even Lonnie only showed acceptable nudity...

Elizabeth Priddy

July 15, 2008 11:23 PM

Why does your picture, that I snagged from your site, eat my fonts when I try to caption it like everybody else's?

Elizabeth Priddy

July 15, 2008 11:24 PM

My husband won! My grandson won, too! I am happy to live in reflected glory.

Great judging and perfect comments. I feel for my Honey Child, Lonnie, though. Cheeky monkey.

Thanks ePriddy!!

What an incredible honer. I'm planning to update my resume' and will definately print and attach this blog...

AZ David

July 15, 2008 11:28 PM

I'll do a spell check first though...

AZ David

July 15, 2008 11:30 PM

Congratulatins, David!

As a designer, following the admonition that form follows function, I awarded you the most points for using your calves the most functionally during the course of the competition.

It made picking the winner easy.

Although I think Sandra may have yo beat for the"people's choice" award. It's her or Lonnie, depending on whether you count prisoners in the mix. My favorite "moment" in the competition was when the Rove pic went up and that series of one liners from so many differnt people really made it fun.

It was an honer to be your judge du jour!

Elizabeth Priddy

July 15, 2008 11:35 PM

Ahh dang! Just when I was warming up my cam. I think I had a shot at best tan :->

Eric Anam

July 15, 2008 11:36 PM

Ah, Eric, I'd say fire it up, and Elizabeth will probably go for a round 2.

Or what about forearms?

Joan Walsh

July 15, 2008 11:38 PM

Bagheera, did you say "swift" end to this? That was Lonnie, not me! And Priddy, congrats on your creativity and fairness, though I will always lament losing the Style Award just cuz at the last minute I showed my toes to Lonnie and JD.

Sally Swift

July 15, 2008 11:42 PM

Look, Joan, I know you are kidding, but when all of this started, I was mildly disappointed that we couldn't have a series of body parts Opencalls and a finale of a mix and match to see if we could connect the right parts to make individual OS members, or possibly a Frankenmember that would be the ultimate citzen of OS with you as the head.

You just say "go", and I am on it. Already got your picture....

And I can update with honorable mentions for anyone feeling left out of the mix (eric?)...

Elizabeth Priddy

July 15, 2008 11:43 PM

Sally, that's what you get for pandering....

Elizabeth Priddy

July 15, 2008 11:44 PM

Joan, I'd go for best smile. Cutest kid even. Body parts are--god I hope--now passe. Or JD will next propose a wet t-shirt contest.

Priddy, I meant my Own Style, not Jackie-O's... though I'll take it, I'll take it. Oh please, when can we delete and repost our comments?

Sally Swift

July 15, 2008 11:46 PM

Elizabeth, I don't know about the font issue, must be an embedded invisible return that trumps the fonts you want to use? If you go to edit, then hit the html button, you can try to find the text by searching for that string, then looking for the font callout just before it and change it to the standard, but it's not really worth all that work.

Thanks again for a wonderful job

Soon, Sally, I promise!

I changed your award, Sally.

And thank you BBD. That fixed it.

Elizabeth, with talent like yours, you should be a UN Ambassador. Loved the many categories and agree with your Grand Champ AZD - his calves rock. Well, the one does, anyway. We have no idea if the other one is equally grand, or if it is in fact a mere shadow of its brother, arm-like in proportions...hmmm.
