Always a bridesmaid, never a bride--not that I want to be a bride, necessarily.

The only consolation for my loss is the fact that this will somehow lead to poodle envy.

And, again: Thanks to our generous benefactor!

At least you get to be a bridesmade! I just slave over the code day-in and day-out while the princesses get to go to the ball. [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

I'm green with envy - thats a sweeeeeeet machine. I recommended it because it was the very model I'd been considering getting for myself. Cant wait to hear what Eric thinks of it.

Speaking of which, winners are obligated to write a review - I'll have to add it as a product to the reviews section. [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

And, as always, we have someone to thank for the generous donations and I cant say how much we appreciate it.

Congrats SE! Dude your smack is already cutting edge yet polished in presentation. Give it to one of us that would really benefit from it.

the requirements for this prize must have been tougher since only 5 members were eligble or was this the 2nd cut?

**Toby** · September 4th, 2003, 10:22 AM

very nice.

Congrats Eric.

Couldn't have happened to an older guy.

**Smokin** · September 4th, 2003, 10:27 AM

Congrats Eric! I'll get your address from you in Austin.

He can't own it. It does not contain chips built by VIA, so therefor he cannot own.

It defaults to me in such case.

Cool! Wish it was me!

**Minivan Man** · September 4th, 2003, 10:39 AM

What's funny is Eric is blithely posting on other threads. I don't think he's noticed this one yet.

No, I actually missed it. Thanks for the reply. Thanks to whoever donated it and enjoy Eric. :thumb:

It's probably part of that whole humble facade he sports. Behind all of that, he shut the door at work and is yelling, "Eat shit, fuckers!", at the Viper Alley list of Who's Online.

Congrats Eric - Smackie said it best!!

(Waiting to see what happens if Remster ever wins a drawing

As a matter of fact it took CitySnake PM-ing me to make me aware of it. Here's my response from the announcements section.

HOLY COW!!! It can't be true ... I never win anything ... must be some mistake. YEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAWWWWW!!!

Man I am HAPPY! My thanks to the Alley, and to our generous benefactor whoever they may be. Man this is a sweet present. Thanks everyone!

I didn't even think to look for the drawing results this morning because I absolutely never win ANYTHING! I mean not even dollar scratch-offs! This blows me away, it really does.

I feel very humble and grateful. I know y'all don't believe anything that comes outta my trap but that's the God's truth.

Thanks all. :thumb:

Hey Eric-

First round of drinks in Austin are on YOU. A little thanks for letting you win.

**Smackie** · September 4th, 2003, 11:03 AM
