Most of the whistles and makers can be looked up and searched for on this site.

The Tulley was addressed in an earlier message in this thread so it should come up in a search.

If there is anything in particular that catches your eye it would be best to ask about it specifically.

So, Jessie, how's this going to work? You'll notify the first lucky basmati, who then gets to pick, then the second lucky basmati, who then gets to pick, and so on down to the last lucky basmati? Won't that take forever and ever since you have to contact each LB and then each LB has to make up his LB-mind and email back to you before you can tell the next LB. I don't think I mind delay at all, but maybe I should be at my computer all day on the 1st of May, and so should everyone else...

I'd love to get a new toy, but i never win things, so i'm not getting excited yet. I'm glad i was able to help Jerry a little bit, and it was easier than packing my Shaw whistle and send it to him to tweak.

In the unlikely event i win something, i'm probably going to need Jessie's help to pick.

Jessie should pick all the winning tickts that day, writing them down in order of being drawn. Then contact winners. At least she won't have to draw tickets for a week. She should leave some alternates, as well, in case someone can't be contacted, doesn't want a prize, or doesn't want more than one prize.

She could draw the order all at once and post it. Then as winners choose, she could remove whistles from the list.

That makes the most sense...especially as some of us won't be able to be on-line much on May 1. If she draws them and marks them in order, she can give each winner a set length of time to respond before passing the choice on to the next winner.

Yup, that's how I'll do it.

And in fact, people can submit choices right away, using alternative. Say your LB no. 2, you can submit a first-choice and a second-choice pick; If you're LB no. 15, you submit 15 ranked choices, or as many choices as LBs ahead of you haven't made up their LB-minds.

Wouldn't that take the trouble off the shoulders of the LBs and put it on Jessie's?

I think he is trying to divert us from the fact that he REALY means "Lucky Bloomfield" and is trying to affect Jessie's choices subconsciencely.

Nice Try Bloom.
