Thank you one and all for entering the competition! I had a good time just making the judges (my coworkers) pronounce these names. All proceeds go directly to charity. And all good intentions go directly to hell.


*Winners will receive a handmade flair pin of their choosing: Either a Simpson character pin, a brass monkey pin, or a one-of-a-kind "k_sra thinks I'm special!" pin. Please specify pin style and mailing address in an email to: ksrasra at gmail dot com.

Thanks for playing.
