Ah, I searched for "toothpicks" instead of "toothpick". Dang it.

I say leave it up for folks like me who missed it the first time 'round - it's just that good.

It's funny that the tags don't pick up singular vs. plural. Mods, can this be changed?
It is a neat project though.

Its pretty sweet, even if it is a double. They had it at the state fair a couple of years back: well worth visiting.

Seems amazing, but over 35 years, that's only about 8 toothpicks a day. I discard that many from my martinis. So what if I don't arrange them architecturally?
