Finally, we have us some winnerzzz!!! Thanks so much to everyone that participated. Also, a big fat Rayon style “MAHALOZ” for your patience during the judging process. There were over 140 entries and it was one hell of a time trying to decide on the top 3.

Without further ado, here they are:

1st place: Khrome winz an Ohana Sopranino and post whore poetry book
Code:
The Post Whore is an interesting creature, you see
So much more than a Senior Member, times three
Logged in for 25 hours a day
It seems that his username never goes away.

In the day, his browser is hidden beneath windows
Of Word docs and spreadsheets so no one will know
Just how much time he spends 
talking about

Flukebazzles
	Stringazzles
		KoAlohazzles
	and Fleas

Kamakoogles
	Ponowaggles
		Tunergaggles
	and V's

At night the Post Whore plinks on his stick
He plinks and he plinks 
	
	and plinks, 
		plinks, 
			plinks, 
				plink!

Then he films himself plinking
And posts it on YouTube
Finds others to plink with 
Showing that they are no uke noobs

The Post Whore is an interesting creature, you see
Without them, UU would be as boring as peas
That is why they are tagged, so everyone will know
To us, a Post Whore is a Ukelele Hero!


2nd place: DanaC winz a Ukulele Underground Hoodie and a post whore poetry book
Code:
Words I can't formulate in my head
I think and think and my mind goes dead
I post to write it down
I post to hear that clicking sound

I can't stop my mind until it goes blank
The page is full and my mind goes dank
I need to post so I can breathe
This heavy burden on my chest will leave

Late at night my mind won't stop
I type and let my fingers pop
Posting something fills this space
My heart is pounding like in a race

Posting what I can't verbalize
Clicking away until I realize
I have to post more and more
Simply because I am a post whore


3rd place: Yopparai winz a Ukulele Underground T-shirt and post whore poetry book
Code:
How shouldst we then regard yon faire post whore
who shares with ease his positions and his thought?
His tapping fingers post more than he ought;
or should we, rather, ask him to post more?
He selfishly doth tend to prattle on,
Narcissus primping, his mirror now a screen;
Or selflessly he slaves on his machine
That we his wit and wisdom gaily don.
His posts, now thousandfold, the forums cluttered-
No thread is read but through them we must trod;
or reward his deep engagement, making him a mod
and against him not another curse be uttered.

For all his faults and virtues it could be worse.
The Post Whore is a blessing... and a curse.

Winners, please PM me your addresses and garment size/color (if applicable. Khrome, the Sopranino only comes in XS) so I can send your prizes over.
