This is what I love to see, everybody getting at least one vote. Vote now, it's not only your right, it's your duty to our fellow litnetter's efforts!

This one is a difficult round. I liked all stories and being very different from each other it was not possible to compare them. Its a pity I have only a single vote. Good luck everyone!

Truly wonderful stories this month, I wanted to vote for them all. Great work, authors.

Splendiferous!

Good man, come get your cookie

Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered weak and weary over many a forgotten smores...Something familiar came a pounding, light at first; but then resounding, banging down my refrigerator door....

Last week to read and vote, folks!

[soundofmusic]

Smores!

Now yer talkin'

It's funny, I've never liked smores, I like the individual ingrediants; but not all together...I forgot the goober guy. They got rid of so many of our cool advertising people because of stereotypes...such a shame...

That’s a great logo, eh?

It’s not really related to the goober-pea siggy though. When I read the stories, I happened to be working my way through a big ole bag of boiled peanuts and then I got to the story set during the American Civil War and the old folk song favored by Confederate soldiers, Eating Goober Peas, popped into my head, so I changed my siggy as a sort of head-nod to whoever wrote that fine story.

The logo is from an Australian company that specializes in Italian coffee: Lucaffe…e vivi la vita. It’s a great logo. And their espresso is out of this world. I got turned on to it in a little pizza joint in Santiago de Chile – Los Insaciables, which is in Providencia neighborhood. They’ve got posters of happy-coffee-man, in various situations, plastered all over their restaurant. I think I go there more for the coffee than the pizza. And I think you’re right, I doubt an American company could get away with that logo.

Its sad that we're gonna have to wait so long for the next one. So let's milk this one for all it's worth.

I remember singing the song "Eating goober Peas"-or a version of it, anyway- in elementary school.

And I dearly love s'mores.

AND it was hard to decide who to vote for in this contest. They were all great stories.
