There's no way I can storm past him unless lots of people make last minute votes.
Come on guys! VincentB!

Thanks, everyone! And Alex, thanks for this fun contest, and for your generosity with the prize! I do like writing poetry. I must say, personally I thought TraditionalTradesman's poem was one of the best--it was witty, creative, and had a great rhyme pattern. I also liked VincentB's edge tape poem--only a table tennis afficionado could love and appreciate a poem like that! Of course, that didn't quite move me to vote for either of those, as I cast off my last shred of dignity and voted for myself. :oops: . Maybe Fattchoi's words now apply to me-- "I am a RAT." Anyway, I humbly accept the prize. A suggestion for the next contest, Alex, might be something that taps into another area of expertise, which I believe you even mentioned earlier--coming up with a cool and creative table tennis avatar. I have next to NO talent in that area, but I would love to see work by those that do. Thanks again to those who voted for me, and I look forward to trying out the new rubber!

Great speech JimWeiland!

I'd like to thanks everyone for participating in the little competition! I think everyone took it as a little competition more for fun than anything, which is how it was meant to be... I've really enjoyed it and I look forwards to the next one :wink:

Haha, yeah. They're more down my alley.

Can you reveal who voted for who Haggis? It'd be interesting to see who had bad enough taste not to vote for mine.

:lol: No I don't have that information, and even if I did, it would be up to the individuals to reveal their vote, not me :wink: :mrgreen:

Well done Jim. I nearly got around to finishing one. It was quite enlightening though researching iambic pentameters and Haiku.
