Anyone else tempted to offer him a $50 gift card if he posts the portrait!?!?

Ha ha yes!.... well if I had $50 for a gift card.
All I can offer is a smile and to jump around and chant...
*shakes pom poms and jumps*
DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!
[insert Madrias' manic laugh here]

Since I learned that this burden would be mine, I have pondered and paced the floor, I have wrung my hands, I have fallen to bended knee with arms raised. I consulted three priests, two rabbis, and the I Ching, and received six competing answers. I programmed a small utility to walk me through all the ramifications on both sides.
 
I weighed the arguments presented herein -- and believe me, for a man of my years, Shykal's bouncing pom-poms are quite persuasive. Troy's idea of one of you offering me a bribe presumes that I am corruptible -- so let me rush to assure you that I, in fact, am. The door is open to all offers. One of DF's 660 ti's would have me slathering, for example.
 
However, on balance, and in the spirit of the season, I offer the following Solomonic compromise:

• A $15 Amazon certificate
• rklapp is to post his portrait for a limited time somewhere in this forum. Let there be another contest to find it.

This offer is subject, of course, to a better one being thrown in over the transom.

I don't really consider it a bribe...more like we are making a good decision even easier by replacing any loss you might incur doing so.

*puts pom poms away and sits still before Ordinant and XZ get too hot and flustered* Can't have those old bones getting too warmed up now .
 
I'll take that my pom poms are quite persuasive as a compliment.
 
And to XZ near choking on his drink, Settle down old man before you hurt yourself .
 
Since when do I and have I behaved myself? You know a cats nature is to do what it wants.
 
In all those 2 posts (#96 and #99) made me
 
(Still no word from Mad, I've got my fingers crossed, that hoping he at least makes it online for his Birthday Monday week)

OK, thanks for the update Shak.

Punchy... the Bit.Trip bundle is back up on the block...

Um... yeah... will have to redraw from that position onwards
If anyone else doesn't want the prize they picked, now is the time to say so.

staypuft

Looks like just two people need to chime in.

We may have gotten lucky this time, because Opolis has that bundle in his choices, but it could have been a lot worse; since the picks were posted and those items were removed from the gift list, more than 20 procrastinators have made their picks, and might have to go back and redo them.
We still need to figure out if Opolis has already claimed his other Steam gift before going any further.

Once all the choice winners are selected, I'll be PM'ing each winner that won the prize from me.

Allow me to say this:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

Thanks, LearjetMinako!!!!
