mabye it's a bit late in the contest to point this out, but they only used 9 colors (including black and white) on their label. Do you think that using less colors would increase chances of being picked? it certainty is softer on the eyes, something that a wine vendor would look for.

ACK! Dave, I totally didn't realize I was using the same name as you for one of mine until I went back through the entries to submit my Viewer's Choice votes. Sorry, dude!

Ha ha... only funny because the UPS guy wouldn't let me sign for my wine when it was delivered (10am). I had to drive across town to pick it up after sobering up(4:30pm).

My wife and I brainstormed a pretty good list of entry ideas, half of which already made it here before I got to 'chopping. One that I didn't do, which I was sure that I couldn't do justice was the "Surrender Monkey" appelation. I figured a cartoon monkey dressed up like a mime with both arms up would do it. Since my cartooning skills are even more limited than my 'chopping skills, I let it go.

I would buy these wines. I love the labels.

Great theme this week, and fantastic entries all around!

Just a heads up, I'm out of practice doing the initial reviews of contests, so this is going to be a bit late. It could potentially not go up 'til tomorrow, but I hope to get it done by this evening.

Past winners, please send your nominations to dave@woot.com

Someone should probably alert ebay to this. Not only is it probably some sort of copyright infringment on woot, it's most definitely a scam. "I too have christian morales.." Ah, I feel at ease now.


In another thread, pblgov reported it already.

I assume he reported it to woot. I think tgentry means reporting it to ebay as well. Did pblgov report it to ebay, too?

I reported it here. Then I saw all the other threads and left it for woot to get rid of.

Why thank you for the pick! But after working on that chop, I keep humming Carly Simon songs in my head - LOL
Cellar Dweller made me laugh - I had no idea that it was based on a movie until I saw your sources - great idea!

"You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that theyd be your partner
Theyd be your partner, and...

Youre so vain, you probably think this song is about you
Youre so vain, Ill bet you think this song is about you
Dont you? dont you?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...
Well I hear you went up to saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your lear jet up to nova scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well youre where you should be all the time
And when youre not youre with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and..."


Hmmm...who could it be?
