winners announced

Steve Clayton announces the winners of the “Blue Monster” lithograph.
I was in my local pub four days ago, hanging out with an old acquaintance. Another guy walks in, an American who my friend knows, who I’ve never met before. We get talking. Eventually the American asks me what I do for a living. I mention the “blogging” thing.
“Really?” he says. “My company is a Microsoft partner. There’s a blogger I know who works there, named Steve Clayton…”
Small world.
[Meanwhile:] Jim Nice, one of the first bloggers I ever met online, was shopping in South Florida the other day, where he stumbled across a bottle of Stormhoek in the supermarket. Rock on.

The best way to support gapingvoid is to sign up to "Hugh's Daily Frickin' Cartoon" Newsletter. A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.]. A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.

    Stormhoek kicks ass – I proudly hosted a party this summer and now I see it regularly stocked at a store near here in Lenox, MA

  2. Too funny Hugh – the real irony is that I was only showing him the Blue Monster image about 10 days ago and my Hugh business card!!
    Hope London is treating you well and vice versa!
