Considering DW's affinity for SOUL-DESTROYING BALL-FREEZING COLD I think anyone is his region had better prepare for a full "unveiling of Omtose Phallik" when this competition finishes. As in not just a "put the chains on the car" but "don't-go-outside-full-fury-of-5-day-Siberian-blizzard" type unveiling.

EDIT: yes, I am aware it is currently summer over there. This makes no difference whatsoever.

I find this difficult to believe, but sympathise with your plight.

With the GF's arrival today I have (had I been in) lost the contest so many times already ...

So if the last one lasted about 60 days (a cut off date was added), and most people seem to be hardened veterans at this, how long do you reckon it'll last this time?
I'd say at least 75. I like that number.

At the very least. We're at 45 or something now, another month is nothing.

I'm sure I said it when this forum tradition began but I feel it needs saying again. It doesn't matter how busy you are, surely even for singletons (especially for singletons!!) there's always a time for a little self-loving.

Go on, treat yourselves!

I see what you did there.

I shouldn't have looked.

meh, doable

though things may change once I go back to school.

haven't done a contest during school time yet (last 2 started around exam time, so can't count that). given that I have no life in the summer, but teh rest of the year is drastically different, this may prove.... challenging

The problem with the gene pool is that there's no lifeguard

Should the contest not finish on day 69 as a standardized finishing date with relevance?

I was also musing on day 69 being an appropriate time to finish.

ps. This thread requires more temptation for these stalwart masters of their domain.
