If you ever win THAT contest, you've probably lost your touch. Keep up the awesome work! I'd be tempted to release my emotions in next years scarecrow, and show them how I really feel about their contest! I like it that you keep entering year after year even after seeing those "winners".

OK, I can understand the attraction of a photo-op scarecrow (#3), but #2 just baffles me. I'm trying to find the connection - did Moses lead the crows out of the cornfield or something like that? And the #1 entry wouldn't scare a sparrow.<br />Great work on this years entry, Rot.

I mean, I sound like sour grapes and a sore loser, but I'm so used to losing that it really doesn't phase me now. <br /><br />The viewing public votes and I really just don't see small children and families voting for that Egyptian. So my guess is that they had a ton of friends and family come up and drop votes in the ballot boxes. Stuffing, if you will.<br /><br />And I MUST stress that I am not trashing the builder of that scarecrow. I'm really just being objective here - based on my years of experience,cutesy things and eggs and snoopies and elmo's win - not modern day Egyptians.
