  WannaBe: <<<ANNOUNCEMENT>>> The Annual Caissar Award will commence next Monday (Jan. 2nd). This is a long CG.com tradition that was started in 2004 by <Nikolaas>.

(Back when CG.com only had 10 games in the database, and <technical draw> was only a zygote. Okay, so we had 100 games in the database.)

As usual, we will have our regular 11 categories, ranging from serious to the silly, possibly absurd.

So, please take a moment this weekend, while you are passed out (or recovering) from champaign, to consider who should deserve a nomination.

Who have written some of the most thoughful posts, which member have helped (you) out the most when you posed that 'What happens if 25...Rxd4'?

Who have been most constructive in helping/improving CG.com's community, recommending new feature(s) to the admins.

  Penguincw: Happy New Year <WannaBe>.
Dec-31-11  capafan: <WannaBe>I would like to nominate <WinKing> for <Most Helpful> and <chrisowen> for <Best Written Post>.
Dec-31-11  hms123: <Wannabe>

<Most helpful>: <WinKing> has been a terrific team-mate, especially for the recent <Akobian vs. The World> game. He kept some team statistics, ran the forums while <kutztown46> was on vacation, and generally helped keep the team on an even keel. He does a lot more outside of the team games.

<Best Written Post>: <Once> writes analytically accurate, humorous, charming, and creative posts on a daily basis on the game pages for <Puzzle of the Day>.

  WannaBe: Going to the Ill-UCLA game, taking the CalTrain into SF... My friend got me free tix.

If the game gets out of hand for UCLA, I will put my paper sack over my head. Seriously. No joke here. I have a paper sack and I'm bringing it.

FYI, if you go to AT&T Park, the schboygan (sp??) with everything is really, really, really, really good. Plus you can get all the sourkraut you want at the condiment stand.

So, guess what's my lunch gonna be?? Catch you guys on the flip side.

  WannaBe: I made it back from the game, didn't use my paper sack, the schboygan stands were <ALL> closed!!

They only had all beef hot-dogs and Polish sausages, so I only had a $5.00 12-oz diet coke. Plus the peanuts that I brought.

(AT&T Park allows outsid food, very surprisingly. The fans in front of me carried in a paper sack full of goodies and munched on them all day.)

I am in love w/ the 2 redheads on the UCLA cheer squad, one of them can't be more than 5 feet 1 probably 100 lbs with her pom-poms is just lovely.

Got great view for the game, opposite of the TV camera shot, McCovey's Cove was right behind me, sat on the 45 yd line (UCLA end-zone side.) 'bout 18 rows up.

While leaving the stadium after the game, I got a chance to walk on the warning track in right field.

Bunch of ol' timers from 49ers was the honoured guests for the coin-toss. No military fly-over, and the singer for the national anthem needs more practice. During half-time, both bands were not allowed onto the field to perform.

The Fightin' Illis obviously had a smaller band, they were seated just about right behind 1st base dug-out, and UCLA marching band was in the end-zone, just about right below the Coke bottle.

(Which, I did not know, had 2 slides for the kids. Think I know this ball-park as well I know Dodgers Stadium and Anaheim Stadium now. =)

  Domdaniel: <WannaBe> Good luck with the logistics and thanks for all your work behind the scenes. Oops. I must stress that the Caissars are *totally* open to everyone.

Got a couple of outside-the-box nominations up my sleeve this year.
