And the Winners Are...

My apologies to all of you who have been visiting my blog regularly and patiently to find out the winners of the Lesbian Joke Contest. I can blame conference-going for only a portion of my absence. The rest, well, you'll have to hear that story another time. I'll just say that it involves an amazing woman who was not in town for long enough.

Okay, here are your winners. Now remember, I've just come from a Women's Studies conference where many people believe it is unfairly competitive for some people to win prizes while others don't. So there are prizes for everyone, all of which will be forwarded to the winners by snail mail--as long as you're all content to e-mail me your addresses.

1. Best Joke by a Non-Lesbian and Best Original Lesbian Joke both go to kevin for the following submission to Maurice's blog:

Q: What do you call a gay elephant being trampled by a pack of lesbian elephants?

A: Maurice!

Poupoune, you win the prize for Best Olefactory Lesbian Joke:

Q: What is the height of confusion?
A: 20 blind lesbians in a fish market. : )


Steph wins for Best Cameo by the Bush Whacker in a Lesbian Joke:

There once was a lesbian who lived in a shoe.
She dated so many bushes she didn't know what to do.

She whacked and she whacked.
'Till she thought she would crack.

Then one day she decided it was time to pack.
To keep her sanity she bid them all adieu
and moved to Peru.

Traveling by elephant, of course.

(By the way, Steph also wins the Lesbian Most Inclined to Laugh at Her Own Joke Prize for "*tee hee hee* :D")

And last but not least, David, you win the Butch Appreciation Award for:

Q: How can you tell a tough lesbian bar?
A: Even the pool table doesn't have balls.

To claim your prizes, send in those addresses, folks!

Any excuse that includes "story to follow" is a good excuse. :)
