Winner: "Extreme Robot Vodka"

Without confessing to having actually having any experience in this kind of thing, yet convincing us of the OH&S/OSHA issues associated with a Sexbot, we have a winner:

Baino!

It was a tie for first (with Patti), but Baino held the tie-breaker. Congrats! Check out the winning entry: 


Baino's Muse will appear on January 16th. Come back on New Year's Day for Julie's! Speaking of... Happy New Year to everyone and good luck with the next Muse.

10thDoM News:
  •  Our illustrious founder, JeffScape, is stepping down from his role as lead admin here as of January 1st. Not to worry, though, since he's leaving 10thDoM in the capable hands of Krys. He's staying on as an admin through the 2nd Annual River of Mnemosyne Challenge, but after that... who knows?

To you all, have a wonderful, happy, safe and creative Christmas. Or Chanukah/Hanukkah. Or Beer Day. Or Extra Sleep Day. Or Whatever.

"Extreme Robot Vodka"

Tom's been hitting the turps, imbibing on the ridiculous and challenging our sobriety. Interpret this as you will, a couple of bevvies might make it easier:

Time to tinker with your motherboards, activate your capacitors and get into a state of flux. Just watch the kerb on the way down.

Still talking? Not writing? Quit shooting the breeze and shoot the breeze. Time's almost up.



Fingers of Aidos - "Shafts of Grace in the Corner of a Room"
*Noiseless Patient Spider did not vote. Well, he did, but it was a vote we couldn't accept. Attempts were made to contact, but he's one of those "hidden email" bloggers. NPS, you get a finger!
*Not for Jellyfish did not vote. Finger.

They join Joanny in having active fingers. Heh.

Multiple Entries and Multiple-Part Entries
We continue to have voting issues concerning participants who routinely post multiple entries, as well as multiple-part entries, so we're gonna try something new.
  • Beginning immediately, when submitting multiple entries, please label each separate entry using an alphabetic identifier. Use the identifier (A) if you know you're submitting (or think you might try to submit) more than one entry. Example:
    • Bobby
    • Bobby (B)
  • When submitting multiple-part entries, please label each part using a numeric identifier. Example:
    • Jackie (Part 1 of 2)
    • Jackie (Part 2 of 2)
  • For posterity's sake, here's an example of multiple entries and multiple-part entries:
    • Teddy (A)(Part 1 of 2)
    • Teddy (A)(Part 2 of 2)
    • Teddy (B)
    • Teddy (C)(Part 1 of 3)
    • Teddy (C)(Part 2 of 3)
    • Teddy (C)(Part 3 of 3)
So, in the third example above, voters would vote for A, B, or C. Do NOT vote for individual parts of a multiple-part entry.

JOIN 10THDOM!!!
*We want new blood! We realize some of you fear the competition and/or don't like to share, but everyone else should write a "come join us" post on their individual blogs, explaining what 10thDoM is and how it works. Because, you know, that would prove you're not a prima donna and a coward.
