REAL RESULTS

Hey Everyone!
Wow, I spent aaalllll day yesterday and half the night finishing up my big event The Nickname Game!

*** SORRY FOR THE DELAY AND FALST-START WITH THIS POST.  FOR SOME REASON MY MR DELL WILL NOT UPLOAD THE DRAWING VIDEO.  I AM SO SAD ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT VIDEO OF MY DAD DOING THE HONORS.  I WILL TRY ANOTHER POST AFTER THIS WITH JUST THE VIDEO, BUT FOR NOW I SURRENDER AND MR DELL WINS THE FIGHT.  I HAVE STILL PICTURES OF THE DRAWING AND RESULTS.  THAT WILL HAVE TO DO FOR NOW, BUT I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT THAT.  okay, enough of that!  ***

I can't thank all of you, my bestest furiends, enough for pawticipating and showing up in record numbers. I ended up with 97 official entries...but Frankie and Ernie cannot be in the drawing because, alas, they are family and that wouldn't be fair. But, we still had 97 play along with me. Of course, I'm not in my own drawing either, but my winning nickname is: SARGE-A-LICIOUS! This is my only name for one full week. BWAR HAR HAR, this is fun.

So, a few details... I visited each pawticipant and counted your votes and commented with your winning nickname. FYI there were 816 total nicknames listed for voting!!!  Then I made a list of each pawticipant and the nickname and numbered them 1-95. Then I had my peeps help me (no thumbs BOL) with the drawing. The drawing is all on the video and the pix below. There were a few ties in the voting and for those, I made my Dad help by voting for his favorite to break the ties. One pack had 9 members and one had 8 members! Two furiends' winning nicknames were 6 words all run together, and one furiend's winner was 5 words long. One furiend listed 34 possible nicknames to vote on and one had 24 to choose from. WOW!

Okay, enough blabbing...on to the good stuff. Sorry, this is a long post...no way around that!
Here are the 97 pawticipants and his/her winning Nickname and his/her entry number:
