R.I.P.

The most recent addition to my bamboo family, Jimminy Kricket, has kicked the proverbial bamboo bucket. After many valiant attempts to bring him back, Jimminy's heart just wasn't in it and it's time to let go.

So I want to take this time to say good-bye to Jimminy Kricket - a brave soul of foliage...may you Rest In Peace.



In other news, though, Ping is doing quite well.

He thanks you for the condolences during this time of loss.

And the Winner Is!!!!!!!

Using a highly sophisticated randomization technique... ------>

(let's not tell Joe Langford I stole an ACF mug... ;) )



...the winner is Emily Huser with her submission of "Ping"!!!




Thank you for all for playing! I love contests and I love prizes! Yay!!! (So many exclamation marks.)



This is the start of a beautiful friendship...

Contest

**UPDATE**

I will be choosing a name on Monday, Sept. 22. That means you have until then to leave me more names for me to pick from! Yay! Thanks for the submissions so far! And don't worry - the prize is awesome! =)

*************

This is my new bamboo stalk. He or she will live at my desk at work for a little while.

However, I can't come up with an awesome name for my little friend. It would be super sad if it was just called "bamboo" forever. If you win, you will get a prize. Yay!

Names that are taken: Wallace, Deuce, Edgar, Beulah.

Good luck!

(And yes, this is a shameless ploy for comments. I thought my new "edgy" ~S~ signature would draw the masses. I was wrong.)
