50 TinderTrolls see

It's raining, it's boring, the old Troll is snoring...

Much ado at Tekka's headquarters today. As you may know, genuine Trolls tend to burst when exposed to sunlight. The constant stream of rain outside our windows here the last week, affectionately sweeping our dusty Boston streets, has lured hordes of Tinderbox Trolls out from their hiding places.

"Oh, look, the editor is surfing Brevity's Flickr tool!" shouted Blipper, carefully placing a pink rose behind her ear. "I, too, want to be in a 50 People See picture!" Suddenly there was chaos. Mr. Gentle Horns, who likes to hide behind "The Power of Many" on the bookshelf, slid down the wire and lined up behind her. "Hey, take a picture of me too!" begged Miss Tall GreenEared. Mr. Shy Red suddenly got an idea, a sly smile slowly curving his lips. "What are you smiling about?" asked Miss Bunnynosed, patiently taking the spot behind him. Mr. Shy Red remained silent. "She'll just take a note of my idea" he thought to himself, trying to make himself more invisible behind Miss Tall GreenEared. The line grew and grew. "Come on, take a picture! Send us to Mr. Brevity, we want to be in 50 People See!" shouted Mr. Short&Angry from the back of the line.

But why send a picture when you can send a Tinderbox Troll? Neil Kandalgaonkar is the winner of April's Tinderbox Troll. Congratulations!
