Really tough choice this month. All of these deserve a win.

Oh, that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh

I like it, uh-huh uh-huh

 

The FOTM contest is our periodic opportunity to stop and take a look at a nice diversity of drool-worthy specimens found by our membership. It makes for a nice gallery of finds and reading back through the archives of this section has been known to be saliva inducing.

 

 

Cheers.

Glad I'm not the only one who gets terribly hungry when looking at the archives.........

Tough choice this time. Really torn between two of them. Should I flip a coin? There's six of them. Should I roll a die?

 

Decisions, decisions . . . .

Really tough choice and I’d love to have them all in my collection but my eye keeps getting drawn to one so.....

This is too hard... Can I cast multiple votes?

[digit]

Nope. No ranked-choice voting system here. Cover one eye and toss a dart at your computer screen. On second thought that might not be the best way to choose.

 

 

Cheers.

I’m thinking a nerf dart is the way to go!

Yeah, I don't think it would be very effective... I'm afraid it might break the dart

Always forget to change something when doing the copy/paste from the previous month.

 

No time machines needed--keep voting.

 

 

Cheers.
