The self-proclaimed “Webmeister” of TheNewsTribune.com, Laura spends her spare time driving on I-5, sifting through estate sales, writing songs about Miss Zeta-Jones and wishing she was somewhere else regardless of where she is. You can reach her at laura.gentry@thenewstribune.com, but it’s in your best interest not to.

EdwinDeux posted the 253rd comment in what is sure to go down in history as the GREATEST CONTEST IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!

Edwin's winning comment?

"I want all eyes on me, when I win this. hehe"

Edwin, you are a visionary. Congratulations. We'll be contacting you shortly about the procurement of your prize!

Thanks everybody for participating. You guys are HARD CORE. It took me an hour to approve all the comments, but it took you guys a mere 20 minutes or so to get us well above that number. If you made comments you never saw posted, it's because it was after we hit the 253 mark.

I'll follow this post up soon with another including my favorite comments from the contest. Possibly some "outtakes."

You guys rock.

At the very least, I can go pee now.

This is totally unbelievable. I hope everyone got the reference to one of my favorite songs on her latest CD. :) I think I'm still in shock.

I can say with absolute certainty I missed the reference to any songs on her CD.

Congratulations, E2! I just logged on and discovered it all happened so fast. It’s cool seeing a 253-comment thread! Kudo’s to the official counter. I almost didn’t want to participate, not wanting to change the course of history or anything and affect one person winning over another. But I guess by not participating, I did the same. Sounds like it went to a worthy recipient (but what’s your ebay username?). Let’s do this all again with Hannah Montana.

I just scanned all 253 comments and the one thing I have to say is that I am speechless! There were as more Celine fans logged on to the blogs as there are varieties of hawk-usernames on football Sunday. There were about six I really wanted to win. I was starting a list of my favorite comments, but it got to be too many. Laura, just be glad were not Laredo, TX. And sorry you didn’t get the pony, Niki.

(Still laughing at the 253 posts) Which one, the Chinook and Snohomish? Nah, not until I’m 100% sure I will never-ever in my life own the Kalakala, even in my dreams.

Oh yeah, I have to say this:
Two hundred and fifty-three comments – Eat our dust, Derek!
