KILLIGANKRUNCH! Congratulations!
Your prize was sent about 16 minutes ago along with a complimentary Christmas card.
Killigan’s entry captured hearts everywhere with its tales of murder and leaps through days past. Enjoy your time-travel well spent with one Miss Daffodil Penelope Moonbeam.

The winning date can be found under the cut along with the runner ups. Tune in later this week for another exciting ATC giveaway.
1st Place- Killigankrunch:
I’d start off our date at a classy restaurant (The Red Burrito) which is just down the road from my place, and after a few crab-flesh casadillas, we’d skip-skip-skip-to-my-lou to the year 1453 A.D. Once we are firmly backwards in time, we’ll traverse continental Europe and Eurasia to reach the besieged city of Constantinople on the sixth day of April (which is a Friday). There we shall take part in what will one day be referred to as “The Pennying”:
Utilizing the luminosity of Pens vivaciously golden locks, we’ll turn the tide of this long-fought war in favor of the Byzantines, and in doing so Penny shall be crowned Empress of all Eastern Roman lands. However, due to her managerial duties surrounding a certain Ms. Rachael Amps, Penny and will return to the present (actually a day before we left, oops).
After such an exciting walkabout, I’ll escort the real(?) Penny back to her well furnished “pad” and help her kill off the Penny of this dimension waiting within. I’ll leave knowing that I will never fully understand women, and that I wouldn’t have it any other way. Delibes’ “Coppélia” waltz can be heard from Penny’s apartment window as I clamber into my 1988 Mazda pickup truck and drive off into the oily blackness of the night.
2nd Place and Penny’s choice- Johre
i wouldnt take penny anywhere b/cuz she is 2 lovely to share with the rest of the world. instead i would stay in at home for a nice evening and feed her the finest wine that man can acquire while she does sudoku and i whispered sweet nothing in her ear like “begonias” and “wool peacoat”
3rd Place- Adventuresoldier:
wow christ I’d take Penny out to ihop where we would spend most of the time being painfully awkwardly quiet. The date would be so bad it’d be ironic. But then no one would get the joke and in the end it is just two people funneling soggy pancakes into their mouths, staring down at their plates thinking “this is really terrible.” Alternatively, a comedy club that exclusively has clown comedians. But with clowns we are teetering very close to the edge of “creepy” if not already freefalling into it
