Hooters Bikini Contest. Annual bikini contest live from The Jacksonville Landing Courtyard. May 28 2009. Nikkor H 85mm f1.8 + Nikon D60. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

It was a close call, folks!  All the entries were great, but some of them ran a little long of the 20 Words or Less requirement, as put forth in the contest post.  So, without further ado, here are the winners who will be receiving personal copies of the RALIS95 Clue Word Databases:

Cathy Anderson, Michael Felch, Vijay Natraj, Ian Gross, and our dear friend Jenn Schultz!

Thank you to all who played, or even thought of playing!  Happy Holidays to all!   —   YUR

“If I asked for a cup of coffee, someone would search for the double meaning.”   —   Mae West

(In all fairness though, she definitely brought it on herself.  In all her movies at least, everything she said sounded like a veiled come on.  One would think that she’d be able to turn it off in her personal life, but . . . maybe not.  Be well and do good, friends.  Because, “When I’m good I’m very good.  But, when I’m bad . . . I’m better.”)   —   YUR
