Hold EVERYTHING! Effluence Paddling! (oops! PEDALING–oops PEDDLING!)

Literati!

You may THINK you know the winner, but the Towers that are A Word with You Press just received this unsolicited gratuity; clearly from the winner of our contest.  Lemme find out if she/she entered before we award the trophy.

Bear/bare in mind that some folks chose to send their votes directly to the Press.  We will accept votes up till noon, to give us time to research who unscrupulously sent this bribe  and  deal with them appropriately.  Rumours that the judges can be effluenced by coffee (Sumatran, s.v.p), that Patriot Sam Adams, or funny stuff that takes place with your clothes off are without merit!

Thornton Sully has Jack-Londoned his way across the globe sleeping with whatever country would have him, and picking up stray stories along the way. A litter of dog-eared passports that have taken up residence in his sock drawer are a constant temptation, but, as the founder in 2009 of A Word with You Press, dedicated to helping you tell your story persuasively and with passion, it’s not likely he will stray too far from the towers that are A Word with You Press, now located in the Bohemian village of Ceske Budejovice in the Czech Republic, except, perhaps, for an occasional swim in the Aegean. Authors who have sought his advice have won major awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the Isabel Allende Miraposa Award for new fiction, and the Best Poetry Award from San Diego Writers' Awards. "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." Thornton Sully, plagiarizing E.B. White

    Thank you for the images. I’m picturing Sam Adams, naked upfront on a bicycle built for three with a bear who is drinking coffee, Sam is laughing at Lucy Ricardo for stuffing chocolate in her mouth and apron. Is Spokane the captial of bicycle spokes? Well, it is your closest Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Rufia and I congratulate whoever won this ever increasing mystery of madness. Send us a postcard with the winner’s nomme de plume when you can. Cheers.

    Your chocolate from Rocky Mountain from me arrived? I wasn’t in the contest which means you have received your quota of bribes for the month.

      If you weren’t in the contest, then how did you get two votes or even one as stated in “Time to Vote”? Hmmm…I suspect humor here.

        If it be an English Mature Wookey Hole Cave Aged Farmhouse Cheddar
        or perhaps a Real Yorkshire Wensleydale with Cranberries cheese
        then the winner is certainly the Flying Circus of Sir John Cleese.

        But if the winner be dame nor Scotish clad,
        We must eliminate, well hung chad,
        And instead assert,
        The winner to be a Somerset Camembert.

        Ah, the bare clause boils and thickens,
        So beware of the bribery coast fixins.
        Better to chalk-o-late than post-age a date.
        But at last, too late, we won’t learn,
        That which the police will discern,
        Poor Richard of Idaho’s edited fate.
