Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3D (I'm guessing. Haven't seen it yet. Anyone else seen it? I heard it'll make you cry, so I'm not in such a rush to see it.)

I need a good healthy laugh as often as I can get 'em, but I really just want the iPad. So keep the stories coming, until the winner is announced! Encore! Encore!

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree! I keep coming back for more! I mean, first I check this thread to see if there is more of the story, then I check the announcements to see if the winner has been announced. This story is more important than the iPad!

I hope I won't get myself lynched for saying so!

The emanant resolution of this immanent issue is eminently anticipated by many, I'm sure.

I hope it doesn't interfere with future installments of HIGH NOON!

I think this announcement was caused by realizing pilotbob is going to be featured in the next installment!

HIGH NOON

THE UNCENSORED SCRIPT

Yup, folks tended to overlook ol' pilotbob - literally. He was a soft-spoken short dude that hailed from the Mississippi - where bob used to pilot the big steam boats before river traffic got all snarled up with those moored gambling ships. He struck out west and ended up in MR-Rock, and became HarryT's indispensable right-handed gunner.

He slowly sauntered up to grandma, casually cocked his umbrella-six shooter, and said "Drop him, ma'am!" Alex slid to the floor and blearily tried to focus on the nattily-dressed figure who was pointing an umbrella over his head. Grandma ordered a double rot-gut whiskey and stood beating a tattoo on the bar with her big stick, eying the leveled umbrella.

"Now then," continued the Sheriff, "let's get some facts straight now, son. Just who are you and why did you have our stolen iPad in your saddlebags? And do you have any next of kin to notify before your lynching?"

Alex began spluttering his tired old refrain "It's my iPad. I'm not going to give it away to anyone! It's mine!"

The Sheriff nodded to pilotbob to take Alex into custody, and Lawyer Tom began spluttering again about due process and bail, when the lights suddenly dimmed even more in the dusky saloon.

A sultry voice began crooning "Falling in love again" and a spotlight suddenly illuminated the blonde bimbo dreams girl on the rickety stage, dressed to kill in satin and lace, singing her heart out while the gibbon (who always claimed he was really an orangutan adopted by gibbons) accompanied her on the out-of-tune player piano.

Everyone dropped into a chair to enjoy the impromptu performance, and no one noticed the man in black entering through the swinging doors.

(To be continued - even if Alex does announce the winner)
(Even if it's not me)
(Especially if it's not me!)

Ok, waiting for the continuation!

Do you think the chicken could write faster if he was typing on an iPad?
