Damn! I just knew I was going to win. It was rigged, I tell you, rigged!

Jay Tea simply outbid the rest of you.

I protest! I simply went for quality over quantity! Had I actually BOUGHT this contest, I'd have had a second entry on the list somewhere. If you're looking for someone who probably BRIBED their way in, I'd look at Kathy K, who doubled up...

BTW, I call "Foul" on #8. Rodney changed TWO letters. Funny as hell, but technically a violation.

Jay: your entry stretched the rules too -- so take your bounty of a free yahoo mail acount and simply bow to your fans ...

Oh, and thanks for the new iPod.

You're right, Jay -- #8 was funny as hell.

But who's Rodney? :-p

I think you mean #5 there chief. And I only changed one letter in the title. I changed an additional letter in the description to be a pun on the new title. You really outdid yourself on this one, though Jay.

Great way to recognized a bunch of the participants, Leopold.
