April 2010 POTM - Winner Announced!!

Post by Myaj »

Well, I said I'd promise to have it posted on time if you guys got entries in on time.. and I didn't, but now I went through and re-counted, and I only had 9 entries this month! So I had to throw one of my own in to bring us to ten entries, no yelling at me for it being late! ;) AAAnnnnddd.. I had to resize nearly half the entries again this month.. c'mon guys, I'm not asking for a lot, no dimentions larger than 800x800, 250kb or less. We still have users on dialup you know!

Now that I'm done chastising, I will warn you.. this month, we seem to have a rather large amount of puffers making quite strange faces.. do not have food or liquid in your mouth when you scroll down to look at these! Some of these fish have me a bit worried :lol:

Voting will run for 10 days, you may only vote once and may not change your vote, so vote wisely! The winner of this competition will be featured on the TPF home page, in the POTM Hall of Fame and will automatically be entered into the Puffer of the Year competition with an annual prize!

And with that, let the voting begin!

Awwww... I bet Marc Anthony is a very misunderstood puffer, he's probably a pussycat underneath that scary exterior, but suvattii do tend to have that "look" though. :)

Always great pics Puff-Peeps, and always so much stiff competition! :shock:

Ack, that was a hard decision!
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

awww I wish #5 had a better camera. Pretty awful resolution but would have made for an adorable picture!

I think this one is closed, that is why you can't vote. They're requesting pics for the next one ;)
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...
