<Clappy can't hold out another second.>

<He withdraws himself from the No-Blinking contest that
started this morning around 8:45 AM after Alt19's last
message.>

<He blinks five or six times until the sting of his dry
eyeballs begins to ease. He runs into the bathroom,
relieves himself, and runs back to the bar, pours himself a
nice tall frosty glass of wonderful beer and cozies up with
a bowl of peanuts and watches the rest of barmates stare at
each other without blinking.>

<He notices how intent on winning they all look. But he
notices that polvie smells the fresh beer. Little beads of
sweat appear on his head. A19 hears the hocky game in the
back ground. Hoser thinks she heard something about the
Habs scoring in OT. Rat wonders how he's gonna be able to
free his dry eyeballs from his lids. Scoot is in a tuck
position staring straight ahead as if he's skiing an ice
covered black diamond. Poet and HG have a few dozen
sonnets in their heads and nervously fear they may loose
them if they blink. Lurqer has the same cold stare that
all lurkers possess. Charles Nelson Reilly has fifty funny
things he thought of since this contest began and can't
wait for it to end so he can write them. TS doesn't even
realize there is a contest going on. He hasn't blinked
since 1985. Lost1 looks like he's flashing back to some
strange buzz he had a Dylan concert back in the 80's. I
think it's part of his strategy. ScottNewsman just keeps
looking down at his newspapers hoping he didn't miss a
single story...>

<Clappy just sips and smiles. Happy he is out of the
contest...>

Who will be next?
