The Winner of a Nice New Custom Pair of Handmade Socks is...

CYBERPETE!

Cyberpete, you won with your hilarious dissertation title, "Two Years' Research: Men in Uniforms are Hot"

You were all funny, though. I wish I could share the sock love even more...

Next step--CyberPete, email me at "theweatherinthestreets@gmail.com" and tell me the length of your feet in inches, as well as a few of your favorite color choices for socks.

Thank you all very much for being so game!!!

    Well deserved, even though it didn't get my vote.

    In fact, I had a really hard time voting! What a great contest!

    The length of his wah????

    Oh. His feet.

    Anyway, I shouldn't have voted for him.

    He already won a set of cocktail napkins this week. What more does he need?

    The little Danish poof has a horseshoe up his ass!

    YAY!

    Thanks to everyone who voted for me and of course to Leah for making the compo in the first place.

    For some reason I can't send emails from my iPhone without a proper Internet connection so I can't email you until Monday or Tuesday when things should be back to normal. Hopefully.

    This week has been awesome MJ!

    good morning Leah,
    I took the Virtual #5 train from da Bronx to Brooklyn late last nite to take a closer look at your blog.

    Dang, Girl, you are a prolific writer. I reread your ghost post again (oh, that's redundant). I also enjoyed reading up on your other musings.

    I wish I had followed my dreams and jumped into a Doctoral program years ago, but with 3 Master degrees and just 5 more years before retirement, it makes no damn sense.

    I also tried to add your blog to my blog roll but my computer had a heart attack. Let me try it again now.
    cheers,
    Dog Girl (aka Listen 2 Auntie)

    Can you knit glitter into his socks?

    Glitter is his favourite colour.

    Congratulations to CyberPete. His feet are enormous and he prefers pink :)

    Uh oh, enormous feet. Better have two skeins of yarn at the ready!!! Or maybe even three...

    Maybe I can glue some glitter to the toes when I'm done...

    Auntie! I'm so glad you've checked things out over here at the Brooklyn blog. It's fun that you live just a couple of boroughs away--I'm used to readers who live at least 3000 miles away! It's almost exotic to have someone from the Bronx, lol!
