As it's my thread, under the rules as agreed by me, I can declare a winner in the absence of the nominated judge.
And I declare that the winner of the JPA monthly lottery formerly known as pay is the inimitable, incomparable, boldest of the bold, aviator par excellence:
Mike Jenvey - with "....98, 99, 100 - ready or not, here I come!!"
Please step forward Mike, and set (and judge next Sunday if rosters permit) the next round of the competition.
