Kotaku's Photo-Manipulation Brigade are the most magical of people. I give them an image of a creature with an enormous tongue, and not one of the entries in this week's contest was as inappropriate as I feared things might get. Well, except the one.
uscg_pa takes home this week's top honors, with his unseasonably innocent tongue-twist on the beloved classic A Christmas Story. I swear to god the winners of these things won't all be related to old movies. For example, it came down to uscg_pa's and this one, from Orionsangel:
Miley might have won, if she didn't creep me the hell out every time I looked at her. Ew ew ew, scroll, scroll.
That's not to say the rest of this week's featured entries weren't as good. I mean, I guess it is saying that, but not in an overtly mean-spirited way. What I am trying to say is I love you guys. On with the rest of the show!

sciteach — for tongue tattoos

Grats to all this week's winners! If your entry didn't make it, take comfort in the fact that I am exhausted and on the verge of collapse. To bed, to dream of other 'Shop Contests!
