Well, the Profile Picture Contest drew to a close with little fanfare on Saturday. And the winner received his prize of a box of brownie mix with even less fanfare in the bottom floor of the library next to my locker a few days ago! And the winner is:

“Sir Josh, Lord of Schmedbury” (my title) by David Hansen

The runner up:
“There Is No Try” (also my title) by Susanna Hansen

David is now the proud owner of a box of brownie mix. Susanna, sorry, I don’t know if you get any prize aside from great glory and honor on the Internet. I took a picture of David in his moment of glory, but it was on his camera phone so he’ll have to get the picture out to everyone.

I could probably be blamed for playing favorites, since it is two of my siblings who ended up with this lofty commendation. Well, blame away! But either way, I now have the coolest assortment of profile pictures ever!

Here’s how I’m going to do things: as there were four contestants, I am going to use the next month to highlight their work by using one of their submissions as my facebook profile picture for a week. I’ll go in this order: Mark, Clayton, Susanna, David.

By the way, did you notice that all of the contestants have last names ending in -son/-sen? Yeah, wacky. Sort of a homestar runner-ish thing, isn’t it?
