Holy hooters, we have a winner!
Frank S. from the World Wide Web won the coveted Bucket of Smut, the special bonus contest prize that was open to anyone who gave $75 or more to the marathon. We love you, porn rock stars.
On a sad note, I got more than a few emails from people who said they had stinky years -- I think the word was "cursed" -- after not winning the Bucket last time. I expect they will be twice as bummed this year, and I am sympathetic. My suggestion is to buy Lotto tickets to keep the hope/despair cycle going until the next marathon. (If you really want the stuff, you can get it by exchanging money for the items using established capitalist mechanisms. May I suggest taking your business to the kind donors listed below.)
On a happy note, second prize is a year's worth of This Week in Sex, posted here every Tuesday. All smut, no fundraising. Everyone's a winner!
On a mysterious note, the winner of last year's Bucket was never heard from again. Never. I guess there is too much of a good thing.
On a musical note, check out the marathon sing-a-long finale on video and audio. I'm on the audio, where I helped out Station Manager Ken with the talking part. Apparently I called him "Kenneth" at one point, so I don't think I'll be invited back.
Thanks to our generous donors:
Love/porn image details. Thanks Doron! Next week: Back to our regular programming.
Fine print: Winner of this year's prize certified by the accountants at Freeman and Murphy.
Congrats, Frank! Let us know how you like the Cone.

I'm sorry, but sweet mother of god, that thing has a _point_ on it. Are you sure this isn't one of Don Rumsfelds inventions for torturing POW's? It'd be like boinking a missile. Forget Rumsfeld, now I'm thinking Slim Pickins from Dr. Strangelove "YAHOOOO!!!!"

Amanda,
How funny to see the Indiana "Porn" knockoff. I happen to be ducking the rain drops at an internet cafe in Bilbao where I am setting up a show of 12 foot rusty steel Indiana sculptures--AMOR etc. Nice to see you at the marathon
