Good Luck Bulls!

As with previous years' contests, Bulliever is the final judge on all entries.  He will select the winner based on pre-established criteria.   All decisions are final, unless Bulliever changes his mind.  Finally, Bulliever will only refer to himself in the third person when typing in small print.
