Contest Prizes AWAY!

We think for the most part, when we set out to do something, we’re a pretty well oiled machine. We are wrong. “Hey let’s do a contest,” we said. “Let’s forget to get everyone’s emails included with the submissions so its easy to get in touch with the winners!” We obviously didn’t think it all the way through. So, after digging and cross referencing all known data about the the three finalists, we have successfully sent out the prizes to the enigmatic, but deserving winners. Thank you very much for your patience with us.

For the rest of you who entered, or thought about entering, here’s a quick look at the bounty. We’ll have more contests down the line once we can get our heads above water. But for now, we are going dark with the posts so we can finish up this years book. We’ll be back soon, but if you feel like saying hey, we’re still around.

The Winners are…

Hey everyone, the final tally is in and we have our winners. Check out the top 3 finalist! Thanks again for all the great submissions, this was a lot of fun!

Thorndyke Photo Finalists!

In true form, it was exciting to the bitter end! With over 50 submissions, we got some hilarious photos of Thorndyke showing his ugly mug in some very unlikely places! And as we promised, we have narrowed it down to our favorite 5 for you all to choose the top 3 favorites from! So click on over to the Finalist Page and put in your vote! And if you want to see the rest of the hilarity, you can still check out the rest of them on the Throndyke Flickr page! we’ll close the voting in a couple of weeks and announce the WINNER!

Thanks to everyone who submitted, we had a lot of fun seeing these come it!

*Update*
The voting is now closed! Thanks to all who participated. We’ll have an update of the winners soon!
