Salutations!

    Well, okay... maybe it _won't_ make the late-night news, but the 
fact remains: nobody's caught me yet!  :-)  This little game of tag is
open to interesting, sincere single ladies, so don't be shy!  ;-)

Rules:

1.  Contestants must be single ladies who are interested in persuing
    friendship with an eye toward a possible long-term relationship.

2.  This contest is open to ladies of all races.

3.  A fun-loving personality, Christian faith, and love of truth,
    honesty, and openness are required.

4.  Physical beauty is not a requirement for consideration, however it
    must be noted that it's easier to catch a guy when he's distracted!

5.  Contestants should be in their (preferably mid-late) twenties, or
    possibly early thirties, but there are no firm limits established.

6.  No smokers, drug users or heavy drinkers please.

7.  Contestants should be located in the midwest USA, unless said
    contestants would be willing to travel - no sense in getting all
    excited only to discover a "distance barrier".


Prizes:

    Due to the nature of this contest, no winners are guaranteed.  In 
the event that no one tags the SWM, no grand prize will be issued at
this time, and said grand prize will be reserved for possible use in
future contests.


GRAND PRIZE (odds of winning: slim, but nonzero) -  ME!  This prize
package includes a 26-yr old Caucasian male with an annoying habit of
dropping really bad puns in people's laps and then wandering off with
a halo over his head.  Said male enjoys life enough that there are few
activities and hobbies that he really doesn't like - he is a rather
easygoing sort with an adventurous spirit which is held in check by
just a touch of shyness.  He enjoys indoor and outdoor activities, and
is especially fond of simple things like long, quiet walks.  He's a
wee bit tall - 6'2", and has  just enough soft padding here and there
to be comfy.  His office has a poster of a very mad kitten in a wash
tub, with the words "Don't Tell _Me_ What Kind of Day to Have!".

1ST PRIZE (odds of winning: a little better than the grand prize) - 
Me, as a good, close friend.  We already have a 1st-prize winner from
last summer, and it's been a lot of fun.  Note that by winning a
1st-prize, one is not automatically excluded from winning the grand
prize; in fact, a 1st-prize win is a prerequisite to winning the grand
prize!

2ND PRIZE (odds of winning: pretty good) - An exchange of interesting
e-mail, possibly long-term.

3RD PRIZE (odds of winning: 100%) - A return response of some sort.


    Don't let any of the above fool you - I'm not really as self-
centered as all of that - I just thought it might be fun to word a
personal ad that way.  If anybody is sincerely interested, please
write - I'd enjoy hearing from you.  If not, then best of luck to you
in your search, and I hope that my post made you smile a little today.
