i see this as a personal victory..not as an american who would like to be a canadian, but as a person who waits til the last minute to get anything done.
We had a debate here last year of those who are always on time and those who are always late, and the answer lies here... The winners here were the last two woman to finally get their essays in..so the answer is : whether american or canadian: wait til the last minute and you will always be the first to get the great beer and cheese curds delivered to your dog sled...

Despite the pressure of trying to be funny on cue, this was great fun! :)

I'll gladly take my Ms. Bald Eagle title and wear it proudly

Thank you to all the compliments. I don't think I'm very funny, so I appreciate the comments!

Spy, not being funny is not something you have to worry about!(a double negative but you get what I mean , right?) I think you are very funny:):) and you sound as though you are naturally funny..not like you had to think and work over it.

It's true half and on top of that we are North of America and the northern most country of those in North America so it really works :)

All I'm sayin', Spy, is don't accidentally mix up your title with Lizajane's. The results could be very, very bad...

<...starts checking his watch to see how long it takes Tess to say "Ahem"...>

I loved all them but LizaJane, you really had me laughing hard.
This was fun, we will have to do this again, maybe next time I will sign up to be a judge.

Sorry, I haven't been able to get on-line much in the last day or two and, as my busy season is gearing up again, probably will only be able to post sporadically for the next little while.

I did want to thank the participants, judges and other posters for their imput. Who would have thought it was possible to have a thread like this without anyone's nose getting out of joint? I was particularly impressed that 3 different judges did not give in to the natural inclination to vote for Team USA and tried to be as fair as possible. Although, having read their posts over time, I never doubted their impartiality no matter what they might have decided.
The submissions of the participants were creative and funny and, again, I think the judges got it right in selecting Lizajane and Spy as the individual winners. I would add, though, that I thought Llkoolaid's entry was also a great one.
Again, thanks all. You continue to reaffirm my belief that TVCH has the best posters on the www.

Adven..I didn't realize there WAS a busy season in your line of work.

Is it a full moon?

Pamy, I was wondering the same thing. I noticed the busy season starts about the same time school does. Maybe all his new clients are teachers?

I see a new guessing game. What is it that makes for Adven to have a "busy season"?

I would venture that the warmer temperatures would have people at higher stress levels. The thing is.........does it ever get warm in Canada?
