One Year Anniversary Shenanigans Contest

Posts: 3,300 ✭✭✭✭✭
I just received my one year anniversary badge on this website, and I'm going to continue what seems to be a tradition of holding a contest in celebration, but I'm going to do it a bit differently. In order to enter, tell me who your favorite author is (since I may as well get some information out of this.) If you don't have one, just ask someone else who you should say.
I'm going to throw everyone's name into a bag and pick one out. Whoever wins will get privately messaged, and they will throw someone under the bus who they want bombed. That info will stay between me and the winner, so that no one besides us will ever know who won. I'll announce who is getting bombed but I will not reveal who decided that they should receive it. I'll leave this open until Sunday 3/24 at 11:59 Eastern Time.
The goal of this is to have the do-gooder remain a mystery forever, so if it comes out that the contest winner confessed that they ordered the hit, they themselves will get bombed with swishers and glitter while getting publicly shamed by me.
So many of you all gifted me with cigars when I first joined, I was overwhelmed by it. No one got anything out of it aside from some hot sauce or books I thought they'd like. I'm doing the contest this way to keep that altruism going. No one is playing for themselves, but I'm sure everyone can think of someone else who could use a kick in the mailbox.
Thanks for welcoming me so completely everyone. Here's to a great year two.

Patrick Rothfuss. Not just his writing, but I watch him interact with fans, or participate in blogs and he seems to have a real genuinely nice personality."Cooking isn't about struggling; It's about pleasure. It's like sǝx, with a wider variety of sauces."

I'm a fan of the prolific photo essays of @miller65rod.
Beyond that, I jump around when it comes to prose. Martin Gladwell is interesting, loved Philip K Dïck, Asimov, Heinlein, and the Golden Age of Science Fiction when I was young.Join us on Zoom vHerf (Meeting # 2619860114 Password vHerf2020 )5 -
