Are you going to sign it? Would probably improve the value...
Jokes aside, I don't deserve a CodeProject lappie sleeve because I haven't won a competition 
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

First Congrats on the best February C# Article(i will add this to my birthday wishes to you next year but with c++ Article)
Second nice choice of a competition  It will be fun for all to read.
Third there is a major flaw with your rules. What if i decide to use Bacon Ipsum ?
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Congratulations, Griff!
I deserve the CodeProject Lappie Sleeve 'coz I'm inlove with Bob and I think, just a little Lappie Sleeve with Bob on it will help me get enough sleep at night.

I managed to get my employer to buy me one of these, Yoga 2 Pro[^] and it's in Codeproject Orange (ok, that also happens to be the colour of the company I work for too.)
Where else will I get a colour coordinated sleeve frome?
In addition, my missus surprised me by putting my CP iron on logo onto a cloth bag as a surprise, so I can't put it on a polo-shirt any more...

I bought myself one of those recently - my new laptop.
What do you think of it? I've had to quarter the resolution on it to 1600x900 because it was insane before. Even at that resolutions everything is super-crisp.
I like it, although it is a bit big in 'tablet mode'.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

I do find quite a lot of headaches with the super high resolution - and including the software I produce, so I've found it quite useful for real testing.
Visual Studio is nice with lots of real estate, though even there I find problems with badly sized dialog parts.
Games and movies play very nicely,
The battery life and portability is excellent, making my train life easier.
I am happy it's not the PC I have to live with 100% though.

I'm with Marco on this one. But if you don't find anyone better deserving I need a new coffemug.
My old one is worn out, and an upgrade from teddybears to Bob would be nice.

No thanks. Put your laptop in one of those things and a woman will never look at you again.
Regards,

Didn't the black skin color of your kids made you suspicious??

Now that you mentioned it, I need to check that "uncle bob" story they sometimes talk about.

According to thesaurus[^]:
bribe => blackmail
threat => blackmail
So...You asked for it...

Because they are in a thesaurus doesn't mean they are interchangable; just that they share common traits.
"A bribe" is a (hopefully large) donation of money or goods to influence a decision; "Blackmail" is intimidation to exhort money, services, or silence from somebody - and generally involves a threat.
I am amenable to bribes (or I would be if I had ever been offered anything larger than a night on the beer), but I do not respond well to threats!

I didn't mean - drunk of drinking some beverage, but drunk of yourself, your (well deserved) success, your idea of this competition, of the whole situation...
There is a song in hebrew, that goes something like this: I'm drunk, but not of vine. I'm drunk of love...
