I've had this "idea"/"concept" up my sleeve for a bit... I got the gummies (and enough for some other well-planned spellings as well) when we went to Build-A-Bear and the Sweet Factory was closing up shop! (somebody say clearance prices?)

the fact that it's actually International 'I Spy A Fork' Week makes it 10 times better!

I'm glad I never got greatly vested in the venture, but I'm proud to see the barrage of people (in the flickr community) making a stand and deleting their accounts. *checking to see if she has one*

I may not have had any of my pictures up & running, but I had an account for voting, and the possibility, etc. No more!

For a clearer, well written, perspective... I urge you to read co-founder Derek's words... and, as if that wasn't enough... the heartfelt response from Heather (who was lost in even more dust) is amazing to me... her words dig deep, and cut to the chase, she is obviously a very gracious woman... wow!

I'm looking forward to weeding through the entries/videos and finding the select few I want to root for... maybe even some swoon-worthy material... and eventually hearing about the interestingness factor that really made the winner stand out from everyone else. Will they go out and have just fabulous fun? or will it be so insanely romantic that we should really just "leave the alone"? *giggle* There are so many possibilities at this point, it's hard to speculate... it's like The Bachelor meets YouTube! With user content reigning supreme!

Then my mind goes to who else out there could be the next subject for this project. Joshua Jackson? Seth Green? Tatum Channing? *sigh* any of them would work for me *wink*
