Name the Giant Bee Contest

Okay beekeepers. When we last left the giant bee in late 2004 - it was a present from Yuri - appreciated and loved but nameless. (And also mistaken several times for a purse because of the way I was carrying it...). So I decided to have a contest to give it a name.

Then the holidays swept me away. And when I say "swept me away" I mean that I made it top priority to eat every cookie that crossed my path. And now we find ourselves in the new year - and there is the bee - loved, appreciated, and yet somehow still nameless... I'll wait until you stop sobbing.

waits. drinks a little soda. resumes typing.

So after mulling it over this is how I've decided the whole thing will go down...
(Major thanks go out to Clayfoot for his help in the organization of this contest btw!)

Use the comment section of this blog to post the following information:

What you think the name of the giant bee should be

One sentence as to why you think that should be the name

Your name (Important!)*

*it doesn't have to be your real name right now - your gamer tag is fine too.

You have until February 7th to do this. After that, I will pick the top 5 names and we'll have a vote on a Condorcet Poll .

The winner will receive a SIGNED COPY of the ILB DVD.

(signed by Kristen Rutherford, Elan Lee and Yuri Lowenthal)

Now, in the spirit of ILB, I think we should do the following. If you win, and you already HAVE a signed copy of the DVD, then you may choose someone that doesn't have one and that you think deserves a copy, and I'll send it to them. If you have a copy - but it's not signed - then you can do one of the following - send me your copy and I'll sign it for you, and tell me who you choose to have the other copy sent to - or - send some deserving soul your unsigned copy once you get your signed copy.

That's it. Happy bee naming and ... well you know I have to...

do not disappoint me.
