Other notable but rejected efforts include the Brimming Pot O' Burning Oil Toss, the "Ew, Look What I Had For Lunch" Toss, the Sack Full Of Sharp Pointy Objects Toss, the Here Is A Handful Of Water Toss, and the far from spectacular "Heaving A Small Car Until You Get A Hernia" Toss.

Now, you're probably looking at the scores and wondering whose captioning reigns supreme. Traditionally, the first tie-breaker is average score. EddieMcD's average score is 2.69 points per entry, while Travis' average score is 2.80. Therefore, in the tradition of end-of-the-year-awards:

Champion: Travis Hoffman
Runner-up: EddieMcD
Highest Average Score: dlavery (5.33 points in six entries)
Highest Average Score With More Than Ten Entries: KathieK (3.00 points in 38 entries)
Most Wins: Wayne Doenges and KathieK (5 each)
Most Burns: EddieMcD (Nine!)
Perfect Entry Streak: EddieMcD and Wayne Doenges, with 52 entries this year. Also-notable streaks include JaneYoung, GaryVoshol, and boiler with 51 entries and Travis Hoffman with 50.
The Always-the-Bridesmaid Award: Don Rotolo (98 points without a single win this year.)
Funniest Team: Believe it or not, Travis Hoffman acted as a one-man wrecking crew for Delphi E.L.I.T.E., with his 140 points outscoring every other team's combined efforts. The runner-up (and the first team with multiple people entering) is 1501, with 138 combined points.

If you want to run your own analysis of the scores, I've got the spreadsheet on Google Docs http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p1cILXUy2xl0U8qmI_QohSg]here[/url].

Onward!
