I’ll count votes for Baccy@50/51 together as it’s essentially the same clue.

…sorry, that is Geting@50/51 of course

I know this suggestion will be as unpopular as it was the last time I made it, but having to wade through 50 clues kind of sucks all the fun out of this. What about restricting people to (say) 3 clues per contest? Then some self-editing can occur. Harrumph, harrumph.

On to the votes:

geting 7 - 1
darla 24 -2
aristo 28 - 1
geting 50/51 - 2

2 each for
Spike @39
Tyke @37
Paul @29

Geting @2 - 2 votes

1 each for:
Buddy @16
Paul @30
SS @33
Geting @50

Hono(u)rable mention: SS @19. Brilliant idea but the = 999 is superfluous so it detracts from the clue. Otherwise would have been my first choice.

Thanks to all who entered this week’s challenge. 26 different clues received votes which is possibly something of a record.

Tied in third with 5 votes we have Buddy@16 and Tyke@37.

In second place @33, with 6 votes, the ever inventive duo, and masters of what I’ve decided to call the “super subbie”, is SimpleSimon.

However, the winner with 7 votes (and two outright 2-pointers) is Geting@50/51. It would have also been a vote winner from me.

Congrats Geting, here are your prizes.
