I said that I'd throw something in for fun, and it doesn't get much more fun than a Grasshopper that does wheelies.

Here's my Comical Grasshopper, with a few mods and changes.

Unfortunately, there was no drink involved. I just enjoy the simple pleasures in life, and your Grasshopper is the definition of a simple pleasure.

I think the TC5 needed a better photo angle showing more of the top of the body. The Bird needs to be seen in all its glory. That would have been enough to draw in my vote. I didn't notice the screaming chicken until after I'd already cast my ballot to another worthy entry.
