reply to post by tsawyer2


Okay, then.... you're on deck!
WHew.

I'm just too much of an insecure newb to dare being on it.....
vote for tsawyer!

reply to post by wildtimes


Oh please Wild, I would never vote for myself, but hey even if I don't win I would love a spot on the show just to talk about how supportive the competitors were and how fun this was. There are a few more deserving than me, you included.

But that is up to the judges.

And there is always next year. I checked and do you know I have to have a permit for my Tin Foil Hat to contain explosives? All I want is something to expel tin foil chaff to disrupt alien comms. That should be allowed!

Perhaps I shouldn't have worn this years hat to the permit office when they told me no.

love it

Alright folks. We have a winner!!!!

The first place prize goes to itinydancerg!!!!



She will have a guest spot on ATS Live for a show in the near future.

Here's the little surprise for the rest of you.

Since we did have a very, very hard time judging a winner and you guys and girls were phenomenal in this thread with the support and encouragement of each other; we have made a decision.

Everyone else who has entered can have the chance to have a half hour spot on the show as well. You can chose the thread or topic you'd like to discuss for your half hour.

I'll be sending out a pm to everyone that entered and we will try and coordinate the schedules that work best for you. You don't have to accept the half hour spot if you don't want to but the option is there for you and we would love to have you folks participate. It's a lot of fun.

You don't need Skype either. We do have the option of calling you on the phone or you can call us as well.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that entered. You're all stars.

CONGRATS TINY!!

(btw, I think you might have been a Roman Centurian in a previous life.... )
Coolio fun, guys.....
it was a blast, and one of the best "group ice breaker type games" ever!!

wt
(Wall E. Turd is disappointed, but he will consider the half hour...let's all hope he declines, but don't tell him I said so).


EDIT TO ADD:
Ohmigosh! I just realized he and I have the same "initials!"
Okay, from now on I will sign "wild" and not wt.
Doh!

Congrats Itinydancer!

although I am not surprised of the winner I am sure it was hard to decide the loosers, good job guys and gals.


it may take a few drinks to get me talking for a half hour, I should start soon... thinking of a topic - not drinking

reply to post by tsawyer2


I just noticed your bit about wearing it to the office -- LOL!
Too funny,
and yours was one of my favorites, especially for the facial expressions in your pics.
I'll look forward to hearing you on the show!
(to be honest, I've yet to listen to it...but one time I did go on the live chat page during the show....obliviiously...)

Now I notice the dark ribbon on Sat nights when it's on the air.

OFF TOPIC:
Hey, I have a Q for you guys or GAOTU....
what is with the black "frame" around some posts? I've recently just learned what the silver and orange frames are about...but why do some of posts suddenly have a black one? Am I "marked" for doom??
ETA...Ah, I see, I think it's just there (the line, can be gold, silver, or black) when the member is online...
the time stamp goes "bold", and the line appears....
oh well.

*Hat back on and veil raised*....

I'd like to just give everyone that participated a quick round of Applause.

You all are extremely creative and created some of the most interesting Tin-Foil creations we've ever seen. We appreciate everyone for their entries and if truth must be known, much thought and debate as to whom would take home the virtual Tin-Foil crown was quite the task...!

Thanks again people and we look forward to seeing what ideas you come up with to blow us away next year!

Congrats Tiny G! Everyone did GREAT!

congrats guys!!!!!

Mods please include the winning picture on the "winners" Announcement post so that we can see it without spending a half hour searching back in the thread for the picture.

And congrats Tinydancer, you had some very stiff competition this year so yes, well done girl!

reply to post by antar


Good idea antar.

Congratulations Tiny Dancer! That was an exceptional hat! I mean not only the workmanship but outstanding creativity as well. I would have never thought of lights!

Thank you to ATS and all the judges as well. This has been an epic thread and a contest that was very fun to participate in.

Thank you GAOTU789 for moderating this contest. I think I have made more friends on this thread than in all the other threads i have started or contributed to combined. I am so looking forward to next year.

The bar has been set very, very high for next year.

i will take the offer of radio time for coming in not first. That is very generous of ATSLive and I appreciate it.

Grats Tiny *shimmy shimmy

Again this thread rocked, sparkled and illuminated the web. Just because this is over and you might think that this thread is dead, well think again, you, i and some others will stroll back from time time for that glorious trip down giggle lane.

I love you guys, your all a funny bunch of riff raffs

love and harmony

That was an exceptional hat!

LOL!! And that ^^^ is an exceptional quote that should go down in history....

I can just see future generations saying to themselves, "Self, what I need an exceptional hat!"

BRAVO to everyone,
and yeah, good friends made in this thread.
