Blind Prophecy

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Well, school officially kicks off tomorrow and I still haven’t wrapped up this ridiculous summer distraction. At the end of the 3rd competition, we had Toby Dog and Elle is for Lizard tied. Then Gay Moose, in a move that shocked his many fans, dropped out of the competition to move to LA.

Given the loss of Gay Moose as a wildcard, I’ve looked back over the various comments and determined that there is an incredibly high probability that I was going to rig it so that we would end with a tie between Toby and Elle. So let’s dispense with the final challenge and popularity vote and move right to our tie-breaker.

Since I’m a Vegas transplant, we’ll settle this with pure random chance – a coin toss. Because it amuses me, Toby Dog of the incredibly large head will be “tails.” And Elle is for Lizard with her lovely stretchy tail will be “heads.”

And the winner is…

Heads!

Congratulations to Elle is for Lizard. She didn’t come here to make friends, she came here to win, and win she did. Elle will make regular appearances on the blog and may appear in various travel photos.

As first runner up, should Elle be unable to complete her duties as blog mascot, or if she mouths off to Perez Hilton or something, Toby Dog will be asked to take her place.

Thanks to everyone who cheered along!
