Plaid Stallions 18th Birthday Contest WINNERS ANNOUNCED
I’m happy to be announcing the winners of our 18th Birthday contest, as chosen by a random number generator and not by your Favourite Love Boat guest because your favourite is the right answer.
Before I start, I just want to say how normal I feel right now. I watch Love Boat all the time and it seems so do a lot of you, it’s nice to find your tribe.
Below are the lucky folks and their choices, which are very diverse; a lot of people chose Robby the Robot (I forgot about that one) or Andy Warhol.
