You guys prob’ly thought we’d forgotten all about the “As gay as _____” contest, because it’s been a long while in blog time since we put it out there. Well, we’ve been busy. And some of that business involved trying to find a suitable prize. We still haven’t. You’ll remember that the WOW Report’s suite of offices is under major renovation, so we’re having to sift through the rubble on everyone’s desks. We figure nobody wants a staple remover, colorful pushpins, or, uh, a staple remover as a prize. So, meanwhile, while we’re looking, we’ll announce a winner and a runner-up (shit, another prize?) and a few picks-of-the-litter. (Yes, we have Showdog fever.)
