This is for LAUGHS (that's why they call it Laughing Place, remember.). 2. Votes count, but creativity counts for more. Kind of like voting in Florida. Extra bonus points will be awarded for extra creative reasoning/stump speeches/mocking of other snacks. 3. The winner will be announced on New Year's Day. The winning snack will wear the crown of 2007 SNACKIE Award winner for all of 2008. 4. See rule #1. Points will be awarded by me. Why? Because I said so, and this is Play Pen. See rule #1. I am a fair judge, though I can be swayed with creative posts and humor. In the spirit of snacking, we'll call those "Brownie Points." 5. Vote and post through December 31, 2007. At that point I'll carefully tally the votes. That gives you some insight to my dull social life, that on New Year's Eve my big plans include tallying the votes. This is why I don't join classmates.com. Oh, the shame... 6. Void where prohibited by law. 7. I will not let my personal bias go popcorn influence my tallying go popcorn so you should choose go popcorn any snack you like best go popcorn confident that fairness and fun go popcorn will prevail, just like popcorn, crisp, Disneyland popcorn. mmmmmmmmmmmmm 8. Go popcorn. 9. See rule #1 if rule #8 was offensive to you. 10. Nothing to add here. But it looked odd having NINE rules, so this is rule 10. What kind of contest has NINE rules? Oh yeah, THIS kind of contest. Well, darn, too late now. And with that.... GO!!!!!!!!!!

When voting, remember to pin that butterfly ballot to the crunchy, tasty, ever popular DILL PICKLE.

Otherwise, we know NOTHING about it.

Who can argue with a tasty food that comes with its own gigantic toothpick?
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>Bear in mind, these ARE the Snackie Awards...<< HA! That's worth 4 bonus points to DILL PICKLES. Lisann's nomination of Bengal Skewers is hereby registered, and gets 10 starter points. Creative use of a serving element as a hygenic device is worth an additional five points. Suzie Q and mj9401... you two can do better than THAT, surely. I'm holding your points in the stand-by area for the time being. Dill Pickles: 15 Churros: 2 Skewers: 15
