Scruffy recognised his error the instant the vile smell began to permeate the bridge, and resolved never to work on both the waste disposal system and the air conditioning at the same time ever again. Fry just thought everyone would blame him.

Uh, jumped the gun? He hasn't picked yet...
As El-Man says, Such enthusiasm! Yeah, Free Hot Meal needs to look up "preliminary" somewhere.
Yeah, but it did not make such a difference here though. Free bean burritos for everyone!.....wait.....scratch that as a very bad idea....how about a frame grab instead?
Okey dokey, Here's mah ( winning, ) post: Hermes: Fry, look at this! It's those new toys which everyone's calling addicting. Fry: Oh, that's what they look like. Are you giving that to Dwight? Woo hoo, a win! I'll get a pic up tomorrow morning.
Well, I guess now's the time. Congratulations Free Hot Meal! You did sorta win in the first place.

ummm...I think this is the wrong forum for that ^^^ km73. You might want to check out the offtopic section for a football or Thanksgiving thread. But while we are at it, since it is after 12 AM here, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! (for those in the US)Yeah, I'm gonna pick a winner tonight. (if it's not too premature).
Just a thought, when someone says, "I'm going to pick a winner tonight" and then lists a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, that means he has picked a winner. Or do I need to wait for him to spell it out with huge flashing lights? If you think you want to pick a winner soon but just want to let people know where they stand, say something like, I will pick a winner soon but right now my initial top 3 is....blah. Don't dance all around it by saying you are picking a winner and then throw in a "preliminary" half way down the post. Well, I guess now's the time. Congratulations Free Hot Meal! You did sorta win in the first place.
Thank you.

Apparently you do. Even though I didn't understand why he was going to the trouble of not announcing a final winner, I'd have to say that the combination of " going to pick" with " preliminary top 3" made it pretty clear that this post wasn't going to tell us who had actually won.

Okay, I'm not gonna do that again. But I did write "(I'm probably going to edit this into the winners later.)"And no-one posted anything, so you won. It wasn't like I was going to post something new. And I think that there has been preliminary conclusions before. Are you considering to post a preliminary verdict now?? Apparently you do.

It was going to show you guys who had won. Okay, I'm truly never doin' this again, I've learned how to do this now. Free Hot Meal won.
