    Mac does have a Polk/Momo banner.....

    Yes I do thanks to Troy's generous karma a while back. And I have it proudly displayed in my ready room (a little Star Trek lingo there).

    However, this one is very cool as it has the old school logo plus its smaller and the "autosound" written in is awesome.

    I would put it on my windshield in the lanes. During judging, I have a cover over my windshield and windows to keep the judge isolated and I would put this banner over the windshield. The Momo banner is over 6' long and wont fit on the windshield while this one is an ideal size!

    I dont want anybody to think Im trying to pull a fast one here. I put my name in the hat like everybody else plus I offered to buy it. :)

    But just to show Im a sport, here is a picture of my cat, Missy!

    If I had a Polk Audio Banner like that I would...... also request that you send it to mac, providing he agrees to the rules already provided.....
    More specifically, he has to be holding the cat.

    And (this part will show us just how much he wants that banner) the picture has to show him kissing the cat !!

    And no "You're my cousin" peck on the cheek. Nope, it has to be a full "I'm glad to meet you, Elle McPherson !" full-lipped smackerooo !!

    Yes, I am evil - but a fun-loving evil.... :D

    Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)

    Well, if you don't win McLeod, it won't be because you're not a good sport with a good sense of humor.

    That would be a good thing for the banner if you did win, though.

    Screw this Macleod love fest. I rescind the earlier retraction of my name from the contest and if I win I will put it in my closet and never ever let Macleod have it.

    I vote to break the rules for once and just let Aaron have it to represent, boldly, at his next sound off.

    Anyone else agree??

    I couldn’t do this even though your idea had both merit and support. However, it looks like I should have just sold it when I had the chance.


    No matter how this looks, it was a fair drawing. All the folks who responded correctly went into the hat and dear wife drew the name. MacLeod is the winner. PM me your address and I’ll get this sent out.

    I can't have the Polk Audio banner because I only have 2 months and 6 days here at CP but I have 324 posts including this one. Well it's your ball so I have to play by your rules. . . next months maybe.

    I have had many unrestricted Karmas. Due to this being kind of a neat Polk item, I imposed criteria which prevented new members from entering and winning it. However, after reviewing your posts and seeing what you bring here, I decided to give you something that may be neater than the banner. hearingimpared, PM me your address and the pictured item is yours.

    LOL It was destiny.

    I swear on my audio gear this is true. I copied and pasted the names of the entrants into a Word doc. I printed the list, cut the names out, folded them and dropped them in the hat. I had my wife draw a name and it was MacLeod. I threw the name tags away. Then I reviewed the list of entrants still on the screen and realized I missed copying and pasting one name. So I added that name to to the list, printed it, cut them out, folded them and dropped them into the hat. The wife drew again and picked MacLeod.

    I guess a picture of your wife's hot Puerto Rican friend kissing the cat would be an adequate substitute.

    Maybe we ought to get John Strong's camera involved with this. And Demiurge in the capacity of artistic director.
