Both are packaged up and hitting the priority mail today. So good chance you get'em by Xmas I'd say.

I appreciate Dimension stepping up to finish this thing and everyone else for being so cool about it. Though I do next to no work with these things myself compared to the challenge runners, I still get some satisfaction when we wrap one up nicely. The unfinished ones really bug me!

Our third winner has now responded and claimed his prize. Ash Ketchum will receive Mystery Science Theater 3000 XXII.

I've forwarded your info to GoldenWheels. Thanks for the quick response.

Still waiting to hear from MrTerrific, who will receive the Comedy Classics 100 Movie Set.

Re: First Ever November Comedy Challenge discussion/suggestions/comments thread

BTW guys, this was all very easy to keep track of when we were only doing a few challenges but Hamilton's sponsors like every one now and I mail this stuff out myself...I don't have a secretary or anything like that. No joke, I plow the driveways here too, I wear a lotta hats. And I gotta admit I am getting a little overwhelmed.

I am not giving up, you can count on us as a sponsor. Just cut me some slack if things aren't superfast or I miss something here or there. I have the feeling the day is coming when I do that at this point.

First order of biz is to upgrade my account so I don't have to delete old pms just to get the new ones!

That's the worst part about running a challenge. That box fills up fast.

I'm nearly certain that I speak for everyone when I say having Hamilton's on board as a sponsor has been great. Thanks for all you do!

That's not the main perk for being a premium member, but it is nice to have the extra PM space.

Great team effort on this Challenge all!

I obviously didn't participate much, but enjoyed what I did watch, finding it a nice counterbalance to the monstrosities of October. Loved the dialogue and working together on the themes and everything; hope to play more next year.

It was also nice to have the cross-over period with the Holiday Challenge, as most everything I watch for that each year fits into comedy.

Hope everyone is having a great holiday season, remembering the Reason for the season, and having more fun than I am this month. As a hoarder, moving really sucks!

It was easy for EdTheRipper and me to step in and finish it since takingchase had already done all the heavy lifting setting this thing up (setting the rules and coming up with the theme nights and the checklist).

If takingchase doesn't return by next Nov. and no one else volunteers, I'll be glad to host this one (I feel like I'm not doing enough compared to the other guys, since I only have the one Challenge, and it's the easiest one to run).

It's also great that GoldenWheels is a regular poster around here, and takes part in various threads. I can't imagine anyone would give him a hard time if they had to wait a few days to get their free stuff (at least I hope they wouldn't).

I don't think we could've possibly come up we a better fit for a November Challenge.

Well MrTerrific isn't on vacation, 'cause he just reserved a spot in the TV Challenge list thread. Let me know if you want your prize or not, so I can finish this up.

Thanks. Now my job here is done.

I think this Challenge worked out great. I'm looking forward to the next one (most of my unopened box sets are comedy movies, so now I won't have to use a MYOC on them).

Thanks again to takingchase for setting this thing up, EdTheRipper for helping to finish it, and to GoldenWheels for providing us with another great group of prizes.

Got it today. I'm a huge fan of MST3K and don't have enough of them in my collection, so this is a most welcome gift from Santa. Thanks!
