We have already received hundreds of entries. Our staff has retrieved a shocking number of entries at themartinchronicles.com. We have already received dozens of tweets to Twitter@themartinchronicles#crookcontest. Our perky young intern has also interacted with scores of readers who called 859.555.1212 to enter the contest. Evidently, many people really want to celebrate New Year's Eve at the Thai-Tanic Lounge.
We feel compelled to report that Dick Dastardly has taken the early lead. This despite the fact that there are many other television nitwits and ne'er-do-wells who are quite deserving of reader support. We suspect that the name "Dick Dastardly" has a great deal to do with the early results of the contest.
Please enter the contest. It's great holiday fun.
And a New Year's Eve dinner for two at the Thai-Tanic lounge is riding on it.
