ok, new thread time... I keep collecting the sweepstake bids into a list, and then we post in the thread all week, and the list gets lost, and I'm too lazy busy to search back and check... so here's a new thread JUST for the sweepstakes; we'll see if it has any legs at all :)

Vermontians: feel free to join us if you wish; I put CSC in the title just because that's where we started, but to my way of thinking you can never have too many sweepstakes :D

so here are last week's punts:

CSC Sweepstakes October 29 - November 4

Current prize: $10 and a bar of Niederegger marzipan (the BEST sort ;) )

weedebz - 21

Scott and Marta - 23

StillThePrettiest - 27

ericdraven - 31

Tim Y - 32

weedebz is out of the running I'm afraid... Scott and Marta need one more to win it, and there's still a day to go :D

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

PS the title is missing the word 'waiting' because I am a goose and didn't check before publishing :rolleyes:

although I HAVE run competitions in another forum, where I'm a mod, and sent actual prizes out in the mail...

that was fun; we had an Easter egg hunt :lol:

Good, because I hate marzipan. Even the best kind.

I'll be cheeky and go for 26.

I like the fact you can argue your own prize. Can I have an NOA2 instead? ;)

StillThePrettiest - 25

Rob & Jin - 28

TracyOz - 36

bets for this week closed on Monday, TracyOz, so no go on your 33 ;)

I'm looking likely for last week now though, with my 27! the current tally is 24, so Scott and Marta are now also out of the running :P

and if people have tried the real Niederegger marzipan and still don't like it, then I've got nothing more to say... but until you HAVE tried it, then YOU've got nothing more to say ;)

very restrained ;)

I just know too many people who have been turned off all marzipan by inferior sorts... that disgusting white plaster they often slather wedding cakes in, for example ;)
