Allright, last chance for votes! I figure there’s no reason to drag it out till Friday since the thread is already inactive.

Just a few more votes, so it’s a representative sample. Then, I’ll close the vote.

**It’s a TIE!!!**  
besides the Instant Winner **duffer** , who’s simple witticism deserves recognition, the voters, all 7 of you, have picked **Nature’s Call** and **Larry Borgia**

Congatulations to all of you!

And thanks to everyone who participated, all the explanations, except that one (you know who you are), were very good.

The three way tie for First Place in **NoClueBoy’s Silly Spooky Contest** are **duffer** , **Nature’s Call** , and **Larry Borgia**.
