Picture Acro Thing Winners
 
Well, hello, hello, hello.

I waited a while, lest we have a few more entries.   And here I was worried because people might be up in arms if I didn't have an acro this week.

But the entries we got were great, so let's get right to it.  The topic this week was The Picture Of The Tomato Crammed Full Of Stuff.  The letters were O D A O T D E.  The entries:

*Olive dies atop outrageous tomato. Details eleven.
*Onions deny allegations olive tried deathly elixir.
*Olive daughter admitted olive, tomato definitely enamored.
*Olivia demands an Open Tuna Display entrée.
*Over decades, any overripe tomato delicacy endures.
*Oppose decorative appetizers! Obliterate Tomato Dish! Eliminate!
*Obviousy dated, an odious tomato deserves excoriation. 
*One day, an ovoid tomato delivered everything. 
*Often dismissed, an old tomato dish ecstafies.
*Oh damn, another oversight: tomatoes don't explode!
*Odd dieting, as opposed to decent eating.
*Old Dinner Accidents; or, Tomato Disruption Experience 

OK, good entries all, but let's dispense with the small talk and get to it.

First to the Honorable Mentions.  They are Flipsycab's "Olivia demands an open Tuna Display entree."  You go, Olivia!  And DeepFatFriar's "Obviously dated, an odious tomato deserves excoriation."  Yep, it's obviously dated (1973, to be exact), and I love using the word "odious" anyway.

This week's Runner-Up is Mr Mike with his "Old Dinner Accidents, or Tomato Disruption Experience."  I'll bet they didn't put that at the top of the card for no other reason than it wouldn't fit.

But this week's winner outdid herself.  Our Kellie not only did some fine storytelling overall with all three of her entries, but her first, "Olive dies atop outrageous tomato.  Details eleven," just cracked me up.  To me, the funniest part of that whole picture was that really sad olive laying up there, and to do a whole list of entries about it was very ingenious.  Go, Kellie!

Thanks for playing acro, everyone!
