I’m sure you all fondly remember the pic of Drosera aliciae that tens units of you voted the “Best Looking Plant Ever” in one of Panguy’s recent contests. Anyhow, fame has given her an even larger ego and the rest of my collection have voted to send her on her way.

So a Giveaway! Yay!
The rules: You must have a US mailing address. You must have been a registered member of the Forum for at least four weeks, so let's say, June 3 or earlier. You will pay $5 towards the shipping (unless you need it faster or better, then we’ll talk about it).
And to make it more game-ly (game-ish?): You must sing a verse (and chorus!) of your favorite sea shanty (everybody’s got a favorite, I assume?), loudly and with gusto in your living area, preferably by an open window for the benefit of the neighbors. If you honestly feel your voice is sub-par, then you can play said shanty on your fiddle, hornpipe, concertina, tuba or other seaman-like instrument. Once you are content with your performance, you enter your name on the next available line. Remember to add the name of your shanty, so the rest of us can appreciate your good taste. (I realize that I can’t stand outside everyone’s window, but the enthusiasm of this forum is well known in sea shanty circles and I'd be surprised (and saddened) if everyone doesn't happily comply with this requirement.)
Otherwise, standard format sample:
1 - CP Squid (Popeye the Sailorman)
2 - Saltydog Sarrman (Barnacle Bill the Sailor)
3 - No number 3! Three is evil. Skip to 4!
4 - etc.
