Yay, my goofiness is awarded :). Now where are the superdelegates and how much do I have to pay them?

Sorry, I missed those Chris — they’re up now.

Bagel, you’re going to have to wait until tomorrow morning, just like everyone else. And there will be voting. m.

I wanted to do this, but just haven’t gotten my act together. It’s fun to see what others (whose acts are apparently together) have gotten together, though.

Two more entries from Tom, both of which have stumped me. If you have a guess, leave a note in the post comments:

The second one is from Weapon Shop Of Isher. The first one seems like something from Bester, but I can’t place it.

And one more

same post as before bottom pic. It references the japanese Anime ‘Ghost in the shell: Stand Alone Complex’, I’d recommend it and the two movies of it to anyone.

@Mark -Well theres Vulcans of all tastes isnt there… well lets pretend anyway

@Mark A. Rayner- I was worried because at first glance (the chest burster) it really just looks like a poo… which would take the competition into really disturbing areas

Mark, thanks for posting the spindizzy ad (quoting the first line of one of the Cities in Flight stories from memory — maybe somebody can correct it for us). It definitely made my day.

Looks like the model in my ad is another Nexus-6.

The upright palanquin is from Alastair Reynolds’ universe, of course.

Mark, are you kidding? This entire contest has broken the needle on the nerd-o-meter. Alex, the Alien one is truly disturbing (and hilarious). I’ll get it up on the gallery later today.
