Here are the results of the Washington Post Pie-Ku Contest....(more)....

[scott-in-scottsdale]

Since my entry was not chosen as a

prize-winner, or even as an honorable

mention, I can only assume that the

contest was rigged.

But, I'm not bitter.

Bah. Humbug. Third place was most like mine...only I could never

get a 7-beat syllabic pacing for "Lipitor and Zorco" to go with "seared flesh from the roof of mouth"

 

[annva]

That was my favorite one - as soon as I read it I remembered

vividly how hot that mozzarella could be - either burning the roof of my mouth or sliding off the slice and down my arm. Bah humbug as well...I didn't even make finalist (was so sure I would smileys/smile.gif

 

[angak]

the hot pizza sauce underneath always gets me. pizza sounds good for dinner tonight, doesn't it?

 

[amanda_pennsylvania]

Bah humbug, indeed. I wasn't chosen, either.

Am I right in that none of the listed entries were from out-of-staters?

 

[pat-nocal]

Dang! Really? No Mar and no Amanda? It MUST be rigged!

 

[angak]

I think there was just one non-regional entry from Minneapolis. Odd.

 

[scott-in-scottsdale]

and also one from Texas.

But, you know, the locals are the ones who would read the Post, and know about the contest.

 

[angak]

I think the contest info made it's way quite quickly around the cyber world.

 

[angak]

oops, that's "its". just had to correct.

 

[amanda_pennsylvania]

But we're not locals and we knew about the contest.
