Grover gets GVK fan mail

Cause he gets Fan Mail (CONTEST OVER)

Cause he gets fan mail, and he really, really reads it.
Fan mail, and he really really needs it.
I sent you my letter now I want a reply.
You don’t know any better so you won’t take your time
with my fan mail

Name that slightly altered tune for a valued Noprize. (Everyone I know is disqualified.) This picture of Grover was sent in by an adoring fan, and he’s got more than one. Hell, since I’m wasting one of the precious few posts we have left before we hit 2000 (!) – We might as well have a GVK photo contest. The best Grover collage submitted will win an actual prize, maybe a skateboards or some wheels or some miscellaneous (and useful) items we have laying around. Oh, and of course, a signed glossy publicity photo of the Doctor himself. Complete rules and a source file of Grover you can grab after the jump. (– Thanks to Kevin Kotrell for this one.)

UPDATE: CONTEST HAS ENDED – VOTE HERE

GVK PHOTO CONTEST RULES:

IMAGE SIZE: No bigger than 800 by 800 pixels wide.
NUDITY: None allowed, unless of course it’s tasteful. Seriously, let’s keep it PG 13
SUBMISSIONS: 3 per person MAX – emailed to editor at this web site dot com
DEADLINE: Submissions DUE by June 8th.
JUDGING: We’ll let your peers judge you by online poll.

UPDATE: CONTEST HAS ENDED – VOTE HERE

Here’s the source file with the background removed. It ought to be big enough to get a decent selection. There are other pictures of him scattered across this site, and this one, and this one too.
