The top 117 entries in the 117 Words contest have been announced by Jillybean and Stuntmutt. Your editor was tickled pink to have managed a third-place tie with Tum-Tut Mantis' entry The Arbiter's Sentence. And it's mine! All mine! It's my birthday pressssent! Stan won second place for Perhaps They Should Have Used Pimsleur. And the fix is in first place went to Bungie's own Frankie for his entry, the appropriately titled Can of Worms.

The announcement of the winners also has some special shout-outs to deserving entries, including one by Eric Trautmann that wasn't judged. Perhaps being the editor of the Halo novelizations made him too professional for the rest of us, and therefore, unfair competition.
