  WannaBe: Okay, <mal>, where are your votes...

  Phony Benoni: As happy as I am to win a Caissar, I'm just as proud of being nominated in seven categories. Apparently, I'm doing more than one thing right!
Jan-08-10  Benzol: I'm pleased to have been nominated and thank all those who voted for me.

However, I'm really pleased to see Dave ( phony benoni ) win the Best Collection award as the sheer amount of hard work that both he and Peter ( suenteus po 147 ) just put into the USSR Championships more than deserves recognition. WE are very lucky to have them both on this site.

:)

Thanks for the best run Caissars I've ever seen- this year's awards were truly special in that all of my friends won prizes.

heh

  WannaBe: 'Til next Caissar, I thank everyone for their time, participation, nomination, and their diligence in voting.

And for those who did not nominate/vote for me, <NO SOUP FOR YOU> (Seinfeld episode...)!!!

Jan-08-10  hoodrobin: hello Wannabe

Most constructive: hms123

Jan-08-10  hms123: <Wannabe> Thanks very much for running this again. I greatly appreciate the award and all of those who voted. This was a banner year for the awards--and, luckily enough, for me as well.
Jan-08-10  talisman: thanks to <WannaBe> for running the election. Congrats to all the winners!

  chancho: <WannaBe> What did you think of the two part epi where Monk finally finds out who killed his wife?

  Domdaniel: I second, third, and 99th Jessica's congratulations. The Wabbit has shown exemplary dedication to the Caissic cause ... and cracked a few memorable jokes when the darn things were finished safely without anyone's house burning down.

However (there's always a however) ... WannaBe bears no responsibility for this one - but I wish I could say the same for a certain royal person of the female persuasion, zipper or postcode <d8> or <d1>).

<jessicafischerqueen> -- <all of my friends won prizes>.

I'm truly happy for all of your friends. They're good people. Perhaps you meant to say "the prize winners turned out to include several of my friends" ... ?

I think I'll read it that way. Maybe I can *become* a friend someday. Is it better to grovel or to argue back? Did *Batchimeg* rise from the depths of the Jessican Id, see me as a *rival film critic* and despatch me like Xena wasting an Aucklander or Vera Menchik casually adding a grandmaster to her mile high club?

<so-many-questions>, as Mondo sez.

My congrats all round.

  Domdaniel: <chancho> -- <Mork finally finds out who killed his wife ...>

I always assumed it was Mindy.

Who'd have guessed, 30-something years ago, that would be the high point of Robin Williams' acting career?

When cast as a human he seems kinda lost.

Jan-08-10  crawfb5: You know the old saying, <Dom>...if you want a friend, buy a dog...
Jan-08-10  achieve: <I second, third, and 99th Jessica's congratulations. The Wabbit has shown exemplary dedication to the Caissic cause> I'd like to multiply those sentiments. Or at least reverberate.

Thanks <Wannabe> - it's turned out to be quite a memorable edition, heh.

  Domdaniel: <Niels> -- apologies in advance, but some buzzword in < I'd like to multiply those sentiments> sent me into math mode ...

I noticed that 2 x 3 x 99, while not difficult, is not exactly easy to calculate using normal mental routines. But if you translate 99 into <illicit roman numerals> - IC, for 'one less than a hundred', which the actual Romans never used - then it transforms at once into the elementary 600 - 6 = 594.

Who said those Romans - or Womans, even - never did anything for us?

  keypusher: <wannabe> Nice call for lifetime achievement!
Jan-09-10  malthrope: <WannaBe: Okay, <mal>, where are your votes...>

Sorry <WannaBe> my back went out, so I haven't been posting in the last two days... :((

Anyhoo, I did note that <hms123> was a shoo-in to receive the *Most Constructive Kibitzer* award a most worthy winner to be sure. :))

And, the *Best Game Collection* found it too difficult to select anyone in particular from the Big 3 - <Suenteus po 147>, <Benzol> & <Phony Benoni> as they are all so deserving of this award... :) Best I could have done there would be to split my votes giving each one nominated a one-third boots in the count. Of course, if I had voted that way it would not have changed or altered the final results in any way. =)

In addition, I'm very glad to see <Sneaky> being awarded the *Life-Time Caissar Award* ! :D

Thanks once again for running the annual <Caissar Awards> contest and hope we all behaved well enough to make it much easier on you this year. :^)

All the Best, - Mal
