    No one sent a single reply, so no one is winning! I'll bump the 2,000th post giveaway from $40.00 to $100.00 and see if that gets anyone trying.

    I think this fell into the "too hard to do for the expected return" category.

    Four. But you were a good sport, so I'll give you another chance. And I'll up the ante. For $1000 cash money, where did I leave my keys?

    And please, let me know before 8am, or I'll be late for work.
