Well, it's getting to the end of a long day here, so I'll announce the winner while you folks on the other side of the planet are still up and about, and possibly ready to argue...
I've read, enjoyed, and appreciated all your posts. Which, of course, makes it difficult to narrow the field. So to make a long story short, after laughing and cheering my way through Kris and Hakea's posts (great story about the Archibald Prize, btw), and enjoying MeaCulpa's thoughtful approach and Master G's delightfully argumentative one, the sentimental favourite was janggut in support of nature over institutionalized art. The frog << wizards are very fond of frogs <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> >> nearly grabbed it away, but in the end, the simple fable won out.
