"But all I got is this photograph...."

Alright boys and girls, it is the moment most of you have probably forgotten about. I am going to announce the winning photograph.

But first I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who stopped by, either of your own free will or because Pixie cajoled you into coming here. It really means a lot to me that so many strangers know what a goofy dip shit I can be. Really, I mean that from the bottom of my feet. Not only am I walking away from this with a new avatar, but I am gaining several new friends (to me a friend is any one who doesn't deny my existence after discovering that I do, in fact, exist). I would like to thank Lynda, Fig, Silicone Alley, Cruel Shoes, Vegas Princess, Shades and NayNayfazz for making the trek to my little pond and chiming in with their ballots. Of course I would also like to thank all my regulars, the non-bloggers, and the lurkers (you know who you are) for their votes.

And last but not least my beautiful wife Pixie. Without her relentless badgering of those poor innocent bloggers I would not have shattered my all-time comment record, or had as much fun doing this little election.

Okay, on with the results.

Picture #1 only got a few measly votes. Some people liked it, but didn't vote for the "Nose" shot. That is a shame because I really think my nose has a certain olfactory charm that you just don't find in non-nose body parts.

Picture #2, although warming the genitalia of most of the female bloggers (sorry honey, it's Gods gift to me) and a few of the blokes out there, failed to find the winners seat, so I canned it.

So, if you haven't guessed by now, the big winner is Picture #3— the swimming cap photo. The people have spoken and they say nothing exemplifies JQ like a frilly, rubbery, flower cap so tightly fitted around my unusually large cranium that my face looks like a toy sea cucumber being squeezed to death.

To be fair though it really isn't mine, I swear! It's his!


Thanks again for playing along. My usual mind numbing word vomit will resume tomorrow.

Rumor has it G-man wasn't so thrilled with that hat. I think must have given it to you. Therefore, it's yours. :)

Fig said...

I stand by my choice... #2 was outstanding!

In that hat you look like Lucille Ball about to do some synchronized swimming.

JQ said...

Lynda—I know, look at his face!

Fig— Thank you!

It's the beard isn't it?

Lynda said...

I love the look on his face. It's like, "What the heck? It was funnier when you were wearing this thing!"

Silicone Alley said...

Thank you for the quick mention. I appreciate you stopping by my little world too.

Two peas in a pod and who are you calling a lurker?

JQ said...

Lynda— Poor guy, his dad is always torturing him.

Silicone Alley— No problem! That's what blog friends are for.

JQ said...

Cindy— I didn't say who. Why do you feel guilty?

Tim said...

awesome. He looks appalled.

Naynayfazz said...

I wish Gideon was old enough that you can put him in a pool and he could do one of those old time synchronized swim numbers that they did in 40's musicals. That would be freakin' funny!

JQ said...

Tim— I have a feeling that photo might resurface in Gideon's future.... when he brings his first girlfriend home.

Naynayfazz— I'll work on that!

Anytime babe.

Mel said...

You did NOT make that boy wear flowers on his head!!!! You are so headed for a nursing home in your old age, payback is hell :)

The Ferryman said...

Yay! That was my pick.

Looks better on him, though.

JQ said...

Mel— I did. I hope the nursing home has ice cream on Sundays.

Fab— Yay!

I think so too. Although he doesn't seem to be enjoying it as much as his mother and me.

Better take that thinking cap away from the kid and put it back on... we're all waiting for some more mind numbing word vomit.
