Sorry if this is posted somewhere, but when do we give you the address and everything? Will an email be sent to us? Thanks.

I sent one to your e-mail address, but maybe it got caught or something else happened. PM me with the address you want it sent to and I'll take care of it.
1up in reply to fungus amungusApr 2, 2008. 11:26 AM
I sent you a PM with the address; did you get it? You didn't reply or anything.

alvincredible says: Mar 4, 2008. 10:02 PM
HUZZAH i am perfectly content iwth a patch. im amazed i was even mentioned :-) ahha i love how they choose the random prize. it's so funny
killerjackalope says: Mar 4, 2008. 7:22 PM
Yay i got mentioned at the bottom, well done to the winners, I was suprised at the random prize having so little views and comments, that's a great idea highlighted by the random bit, personally I just drilled a big hole in the workbench though...
Goodhart in reply to killerjackalopeMar 4, 2008. 7:34 PM
well, alphabetically you are before kiteman, so that is something at least :-)
killerjackalope in reply to GoodhartMar 4, 2008. 7:38 PM
I'm actually pleased about getting a mention, simply shows that people participated for something, many bring up the old kipkay argument, I think that defends against it nicely. Did all entrants get a patch then, I couldn't really tell? On the other hand, Ha kiteman, bet you wish you were Kiiteman now
joejoerowley in reply to killerjackalopeMar 4, 2008. 8:31 PM
No, I did not but I already have my fair share of patches for right now.
killerjackalope in reply to joejoerowleyMar 4, 2008. 9:46 PM
Ah right, I was trying to figure if it was a consellation prize or like an honourable mention prize... I've been trying to think up a good way to utilize the patch I got from burning questions, but it's hard to think of the right thing for me, some stuff has to be just so... Any ideas?
LinuxH4x0r says: Mar 4, 2008. 9:43 PM
Yeah! I didn't get around to doing my good tool tip, but I still get a patch!!!!! Congrats all!
Goodhart says: Mar 4, 2008. 6:23 PM
Congrats all, and how did I miss the one on sharpening chisels....I could use that :-)
GorillazMiko says: Mar 4, 2008. 6:07 PM
Awesome! Congratulations Brennn10! I didn't win, but everybody else deserved it. Congratulations once again!
Brennn10 says: Mar 4, 2008. 6:03 PM
Sweet! Thanks! This is awesome, this is the first contest I have gotten a "1st" prize! Congratulations, and the tips were great!
iPodGuy says: Mar 4, 2008. 5:53 PM
