I promised further proof that the winner had been chosen fairly and beyond reasonable doubt. Here it is:
The one on the right being my father — the one that just had to interfere and force Eric to sit down. As I’ve alluded to in other entries though, my dad does tend to treat Eric a bit like the soft, docile dog that we never had.
And now, a cute story from my mother. Earlier, Eric came trotting down from the lounge as he’d heard my sister miaowing in the dining room… only my sister wasn’t in the house. My mother was showing my dad the video, and Eric had recognised my sister’s voice! He prowled around the speakers for a little while and then moved in to nuzzle and bite at them, ascertaining if they were in fact my sister. Confused at how hard and plasticky my sister had become, he walked off, confused.

Oh, poor Eric, it’s just a world of confusion for him. He keeps hearing these voices in his head…

My mother just did it to him again, and giggled madly as he strutted into the dining room yet again, looking for my sister.
My mother is a cruel, mean mistress.

ahahaha what a funny family. i mean it in a good way, mind you! are you sure you did not rub some pheromone on that piece of paper that Eric walked on? i was pretty sure he wanted to sit on the piece of paper with my name written on it.
or seb, did you purposely leave me out of the wheel of fortune?
hmmph.

You know, this is going to kill you Stiletto… the bit of yellow paper he sits on, outside, the one that almost won… it had your name written underneath.
I shouldn’t have said, but… hey, you ALMOST won

Poor Eric. It’s hard loving a plastic speaker.

Wise words.
As one that has also tried, and succeeded, do you have any tips?

Too cute. You make me want a puppy. I’m not much of a cat person, repulsed yet?

Aww, Eric.
When the page loaded I blinked a few times and was like “Why is my name there…? Oh..!”
We all know I’m not the brightest crayon in the box.

I’m not much of a cat person either, Andhari. I like pets that reciprocate love! I’d like a dog, but my mother said no, many years ago… they also need a lot of care and attention, which we might not have the time for! And I’m not the kind of guy to walk around with a little doggie in my man-bag…

Seb, you need a dog. And a proper-sized one, not the overgrown rats commonly found in the purses of Hollywood socialites.
Get a Rottweiler!

I’m big, but I’m not particularly strong… perhaps that’s why I don’t have a dog, because I could never have a small dog, it’d be ridiculous. A big dog would pull me all over the place, which would also look stupid
