Our contest to give away a FeedBurner Total Stats Pro account turned out to be a blast. We had a lot of great entries, and some really weird ones. Like “get help” weird. No, really.
Anyway, my personal favorite and contest runner-up from the “intro to a pulp novel” category was this one, submitted by Bud Caddell:
From the moment she walked in the door and let down her hair, he was hooked, hooked on those warm blonde locks drenched in the sun filtering through the cheap plastic blinds, hooked on that shade of blonde that reminded him of the icons on the site he was feverishly posting and reposting his newest blog post, the one with the image of Britney Spears with the sign of the beast so artfully photoshopped on her bare skull, so hooked that he knew, from that moment, that she was the only real linkbait he’d ever known, and that he digged her.
Poetry, Bud. Poetry.
But, we can’t all be runners up, so we had to pick a winner.
After talking to the FeedBurner design team, there was one entry that everybody loved. It was unanimous, and as it turns out, the only legit entry in the “real life logo” category. Therefore…
TechBrew.net is pleased to announce that the winner of the FeedBurner Total Stats Pro account is Ron Rementilla for his papercraft-style air freshener!
Click the above image to see other shots of Ron’s handiwork. Congratulations, Ron, and thanks to everybody who participated. We hope you had fun.
As always, keep an eye on TechBrew.net for upcoming contests. Did somebody say Skype phone? Nah, couldn’t be.

Awwwwww… nuggets.
Congrats, Ron. Very cool — when do you start mass producing those?

I wrote a rap for this contest. It was destined to go \’aluminum foil\’.
Maybe next time.
Congrats Ron. Well done.

I loved the rap, incidentally. Contest guidelines be danged!

Congratulations, Bud. I liked Bud\’s so well I googled him out and sent him a note with a good luck wish. Bud\’s entry had it all, the run-on sentences, rambling prose, tech speak, and a pop culture reference for historical setting. Bravo.
