Honestly, I wasn't the least bit serious about the award name. I think it'd be good for yucks, but that's about it. If we're going to be giving away an award to go with the honor of having won the poll, perhaps one of those zen rock gardens that you see at Sharper Image(TM) or something that VPs with not enough stuff to do put on their desks (under the motivational posters that they all love so much).

Anyway, I'm not all that militant about what it's called. We can set up a poll if y'all want, but I'm sure we can agree (or Woj can do it by executive fiat if he so desires).

Roger -Dot- Lee, not putting his foot down for once.

Here's my list. Tomorrow I'm opening voting time. Please add your propositions to the list here. The earlier, the better.

I'd like to ask the admins to make temporary forum for our Poll so that we don't talk about all things connected with poll in one thread.
