My Census abacus is smokin’! I haven’t even begun to tally up the bow ties yet, but the actual necktie count is complete. Excluding holiday neckties, the total necktie count as of today stands at 904. Even screaming Tie o’ the Day is aghast at the bigly number! With guesstimates from y’all as low as 765 and as high as 1589, our prizewinner is my former Delta neighbor, Katie Poulsen, who offered an incredible, unbelievable, shockingly close guess of 901. I would think Katie must have snuck into my house and counted my ties herself, except we don’t reside in the same zip code anymore. Message me your address, Katie, and in a couple of days the Pooping Dogs Puzzle will show up on your doorstep.
As always, speshul thanks go to Suzanne, who bravely tolerated said puzzle enough to assemble it with me. However, she is glad it’s leaving our abode to live with other people who like odd things. I, on the other hand, will miss the puzzle’s ewwy silliness. Rest assured, Katie, the puzzle is not a scratch-n-sniff.
Thanks to y’all for playing.
