On one hand I like the odds of winning for the 4 of us who have submitted entries. But on the other hand it is a sad commentary that there are almost as many judges as entries. :cry:

Since there was no mention of the prize, won't people be surprised when the winner posts photos of his brand new Henry rifle. :lol:

Now why would you do that? :roll: You would have no guarantee of winning the prize whereas the compensation from working as a judge is a certainty.

I would sell my part ownership in the forum so I could have a chance too. :lol:

If the judges, administrators and owners would quit just for a chance to win a rifle, then for the sake of the forum we had better inform Mr. Imperato that it would not be a good idea for Henry to donate a rifle as a prize.

Don't know about that, but with all the funds rolling in from your judging duties I am sure that you will be able to purchase another Henry before the contest winners receive one as their prize.

I haven't named this month's prize and no one really asked. We are having a contest. If only four want to enter so be it. It does make the odds better.

Check for hanging chads. We don't need a sore loser demanding a recount.

:shock: Thanks! I have a spot on the wall for the new rifle. :lol:
Just kidding, but as I said during the first contest, I like swag. Hopefully we'll get a better turnout for the next contest.

Dang! I didn't think of that. I am retired so guess that I should contact my accountant to see if I have to increase my estimated tax this quarter.

Since no one asked what the prize(s) was for the contest, I will leave it to Hack to let everyone know what he gets. I don't think he will need to claim it on his 1040 either.

We can claim it as a forum expense though? Right? :lol:

Don't forget the shipping expenses! It can't be cheap to have the prize delivered by the forum's prize patrol. The security alone must cost a small fortune. I just hope my neighbors don't think that I won the Publisher's Clearinghouse multi-million dollar prize and start coming over to borrow a cup of cash.
