First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who took part and/or voted in the competition for the 2009 Meager Puddle of Limelight Award for Best Opening Line. The votes are in, but I'm afraid the winning entry was submitted anonymously.

Have you seen this contestant?
Rest assured, the staff here at Puddles (HQ), are conducting a frantic investigation to discover the mystery winner's identity. As soon as I have the details, I'll make a formal announcement. Hopefully later today.
UPDATE:
YAY! Our mysterious winner has come forward. I'll make a formal announcement of the top ten places tomorrow (Wednesday)
