Great contest IKandiggit, and congrats to HiHo! I really enjoyed putting faces to some of the 'cyberbuddies' I've gotten to know on this forum.
Who, me? Sorry for the delayed response, between putting up the Christmas tree, a 16 hour adventure when my wife supervises, and fixing my son's laptop (new hard drive), also a 16-hour process to restore all of his old files, I have had precious little free time lately. I won't even mention the piles of leaves that need to be bagged before it snows. Back to the contest, the best I have seen here in quite some time. I never thought I would win but honestly thought I might make top 5. Here were my picks... 1) Siggi Palma Fantastic Photoshop skills, and I am pretty good myself. I once put my bosses face on a can of Chef Boyardee spaghetti and printed it out in color, lifesize on nice paper. It hangs on his refrigerator and makes him laugh everyday. I also made him the Pope, as seen here... Fortunately my boss has a good sense of humor. Siggi's photo of himself with Jack and Robert Kennedy was worthy of an award. It made me smile. 2) Texmech Funniest post on the thread. 3) Race Bannon Coolest post #1. I really thought that this was the winner. 4) JallenGomez Second coolest post. I really thought that this was the winner too. At the very least we have a man, who obviously loves his coins like the rest of us, who also appreciates the fact that time spent with your son (or sons) is a window open for only the shortest time before they grow up and become men. Very smart! 5) Dok U Mint Always clever, never boring. Possible 200+ IQ. 6) Lucyray Best fish. A million thanks to ikandiggit for both an interesting contest and for some of the best prizes I have ever seen here on CoinTalk. I collect both US and Canadian and my supervisor at work is also Canadian friendly with almost a complete Newfoundland collection, so nothing will go unappreciated. And I still love paper money. I promise a similar contest next year this time. And you can hold me to that. And if I didn't mention your name here sorry, I'll get you in 2011! HiHo
ConGratz Congratulation HiHo. But you would love my recording studio, ShoddyAudio. & I'm only 127 on the average scale.:rollling: and don't you need a hat to be Pope?
Post a photo and I will rate your studio. If you are recording country/bluegrass or anything that sounds remotely like Alison Krauss then I would automatically give you an A. No matter if you own fancy German tube mics or not. 127 makes you smarter than average. I believe I tested at 136 and I'm very happy about that. My older son tested 150 at the age of five. He's WAY smarter than me but I work harder. Kids...:dismay: Does the Pope really need a hat? Not if he is also Chef Boyardee...
