This is proving to be more difficult than getting a date in high school.

Hey Dan, Sean, Bob, Tom, and all other dealers here- You can play!

There are no tricks here!

It seems you just gave a hint to everyone that did not guess yet by stating the correct answer was not guessed yet. Not really fair.

Nick,

I don't see that anyone has said if or if not a guess has been correct or not.  Members will keep guessing until the deadline.  It means that there will be more members in the drawing for the prize for the correct answer ( unless only one guesses correctly) and there will be more members in the drawing for the consolation prize.
Nobody should read into anything as being a hint.

Peter

Uhm, I already know who the Owner of the FOGtainer -1 will be, so I guess I'm disqualified from this contest.  Thanks for blabbing, Peter!   Blink Wink Big Grin




On Edit:  Since I can qualify in the consolation prize portion of the contest by guessing incorrectly, I'll guess Shane.   Tongue Out

Well I don't get that hint at all. Are you referring to people participating or what?

A hint only make a person second guess who they are going to choose, so maybe no more hints. Hints should have only been before the voting, IMHO.

Yes, I see your point.  Since I know the answer, and therefor am disqualified, I guess that I also know all the wrong answers too...  Double disqualified!   Scared

Heh, heh, heh.  But, that's okay.  It's really fun watching this all unfold.  Keep guessing guys!

Nick,

That was not a hint.  I was referring to the fact that it seems difficult to get participation in this thread.

My apologies if I gave a different impression.

Hmmm.  Wonder if there is anything that I can do to help increase participation???  Oh, how about if I were to accept bribes?  That might work.   Tongue Out

First a big thank you to everyone that played a hand in making this idea come to fruition.  As there are so many people that had a hand in this, I am going to choose the long shot .... JORAFT.  I would like a youtube video posted when his wife opens the door to the UPS man standing there with a box stamped all over ADULT MATERIAL.   Eek! Embarassed

Let the record show that Toolman54 became a member, participated in the group buy, and then later posted for the first time.  Gotta love that Guy!.

THIS IS NOT A HINT.

Well, I think Peter or Wayne deserve the prototype.  I know Peter is too generous to keep it for himself so Wayne is the next logical choice.  Since I never win anything I'm not going to ruin the chances of all the guys that picked Wayne. Tongue Out I'm going to make my pick for someone else that isn't the most obvious, in fact, he didn't even post in the FOGtainer threads that I know so I'm sort throwing my guess away.

My selection, Matthew Schenker.  Without all his work to get this place off the ground we wouldn't be here.

I call Brice. Like someone else said, I think he sort of initiated it.

I also agree that Peter, Wayne, and Matthew all deserve it. Peter, are you really multiple people?

I agree that Wayne Lang deserves some kind of token from us for his great work and photo documentation but there are others such as Frank Pellow who have provided us with some very entertaining threads.

I also agree with Brice that a memento to Matthew as a small token of gratitude for making the FOG what it is would be very nice.

UPDATE:  FOGtainer 1 has left the buidling and is on its way to a new home!  Only thirty six members have entered this contest?  Talk about good odds!

Contest is open until midnight US EDT this Sunday!  Then we wait.  How long?  I can't tell!
