And the winner is................................

This is the only fanfare I could find, so live with it.



I am announcing the winner of the first Willie's World contest. It was tough going trying to pick a winner from the only person who did try to answer every question. But with the only entrant with every question answered incorrectly, the winner is Jeremy of Jeremy's Status Message and Jeremy's Sametime Status. Congratulation Jeremy. We were thinking of flying you up to Maine and putting you up at the beautiful Samoset Resort, but that's not going to happen. Instead you will be given the choice of two wonderful prizes.

The first is a wonderfully carved horse. A Mr. Ed look-a-like carved by artisans in a small town in Mexico. This is a wonderful prize that can be used as a paper weight or to hold a door open, or it could be converted into a lovely lamp that anyone would be proud to have in their home. Value of the Mr. Ed look-a-like $75.00.










The second is a DVD of the 1949 block buster The Big Wheel staring Mickey Rooney. In this fast-paced racing adventure. Mickey Rooney stars as Billy Coy a racer that likes to flip up the brim of his baseball cap. Thomas Mitchell as Red Stanley who keeps a rag in his back pocket. Spring Byington as Billy's mother Mary, who worries . Hattie Mcdaniel as Minnie who straighten up a room and hangs thing up in the closet. And Steve Brodie as Happy Lee who laughs at anything and everything.



Hear Billy say" Oh yea!"

Hear Red exclaim "You better take your mouth out of gear."

Smile as happy says" he he he he ha ha ha ho ho ho teehee."



Value of the DVD The Big Wheel $2.99.



Jeremy we will be awaiting your choice.

Woo-hoo! I'm the big winner!

OK, first of all, I have to clear this up. The Jeremy of Jeremy's Sametime Status is NOT me. He is a guy I know from work who happens to have the same first name as I do. Just to make my life all sorts of confusing, he decided to create a blog of his status messages, too. I call him Evil Jeremy to help remind my valued readership who is who.

Now that that's cleared up, I was wondering if, instead of the spectacular prizes you have listed, I could ask for the bragging rights you won from his blog. I've always wanted to get me a set of those!

You got it.The bragging rights are yours.
And now what am I going to to with a 30 lb. wooden horse? Are you sure you don't want it. It makes a nice fire.

Well, the horse is tempting, but I just can't resist those bragging rights.
