Oh come on folks, you can't nominate your own avatar! It's like nominating your team's robot for being the best... get some humility!
Anyway, let's all face it, Andy Baker has a really neat avatar that's unique and clever. Everyone hated those tile puzzles as a kid, and is absolutely amazed every time the Technokats logo is solved (and so quickly!).
I'd say besides his outstanding posts, gracious attitude, and overall coolness, it's Andy's avatar that's gotten him so many reputation points. How can you NOT respect someone who can solve a tile puzzle?
(For the number-cruncher of the day award... estimate how many times Andy's puzzle has been solved. For additional props, estimate how many times people have seen Andy's avatar puzzle solved... for mega props... write a PHP file that display a real-time count on both numbers...)
