*Wild Applause.  Young girls fainting. Gnashing of teeth by other contestants*

Besides being incredibly brilliant enough to guess that five would be the logical number of toes to be on a human foot, Brad should also be highly commended for his daring (yet anti-establishment) and stylish appearance.  Here are some photos sent to me by his mother.

On Holiday at the Beach

At the family Reunion

Few people realize that Brad played the piccolo in his High School Marching Band.  In the next photo here he is during halftime at the Home Coming Game.  (He’s the one near the middle)

Honestly (and can you believe a word I say from this point?), this next photo is our very own contest-winner Brad (You can call me “Bradley”).  Anyone, in these days and times who can pull off in public looking like a tipped-over oil barrel with jaundice has my complete respect.

You can call me "Bradley."

Rajesh, tell Brad what he has won!

Well, Gryphon, for somehow figuring out beyond all odds that the number of toes of your foot equaled no more or less than five, Brad has won his VERY OWN post here in Gryphon’s Aerie and a link in the sidebar widget “Word Press Blogs I Like!

Ah crap, Raj!  You gotta be kidding me?

Not at all, Gryph.  and IN ADDITION to this he also gets;

• A one year subscription to Chiropodist’s Bi-Annual,
• A $15.00 gift certificate to Foot Locker,
• An all-expenses paid trip to the foot of any mountain of his choosing, and
• A LIFE TIME SUPPLY of Dr. Scholl ODOR EATERS! (Warning!  If bone and tissue loss extends above the top of the ankle, discontinue use IMMEDIATELY!)

How Many Toes?

The first person to guess how many toes I have on my right foot, gets a prize.

A REALLY nice prize too.

OFFICIAL RULES

1. The possible range of answers is between NONE and SEVEN.
2. Only ONE guess per caller (I’m reading your IP ).
3. You may guess in fractions, such as “3 and 5/16,” but that would be really silly and I will disqualify your answer.
4. Accidents, birth defects and/or enraged drunken girlfriends may be factored in as assumptions may warrant.
5. Toe-Jam doesn’t count as an appendage, but as an additive.
6. Never mind the odor comments.
7. The gryphon in residence reserves the right to add, subtract, or change the rules as more witty comments  (quantity, NOT quality!) may come to mind.
8. The foot in the photo isn’t mine, but no one tell my ex-wife about this post, please.
