Some alert participants have noticed that I did not put out a call for Top Ten this year. That's cause I'm a no-good lazy-arse with a head cold. But if anyone is motivated like Tino, please send 'em in and I'll post 'em for sure!

Shoot. That should read "Bureau of Productive Arts". Freudian slip surely. Sorry!

Hey, where is L.M.'s list?
