Wolf,
You have a knack for 'confusing' me (and apparently you try to fool others).
Am I second or third?
Is it too late to take first for 2007 if I post something 'jocular' in December, or will that count towards 2008?
Are you hosting an awards banquet? Am I going to receive at least a red runner-up ribbon? Should I prepare a speech?
How about this for an opening line...'Hats off to The Hacker and The Literary Analyst for pulling the many masks off of Wolfgang J. Weiss.'
Let me make a suggestion: change the name of the award from 'Jocularity Master' to 'Excellence in Exposing the Truth'.

especially to mr. the hacker and mr. the literary analyst:
good one. a true gem. exquisite!
you have put a jolly ho ho ho on top of this old man's holiday season cheer and joy.
i have had some good laughs this year, this is the absolute, indisputable topper. mike looked like a sure winner for the 2007 "jocularity master" award.
but in a last minute surprise upset, mr. the hacker and mr. the literary analyst grabbed the prize in a tour de force demonstrating unusual humor strength, comic skill, and true joker ingenuity.
i really thank you. very hilarious.
but there is one thing, to quote from a previous entry: "an adversarial process can have general integrity [only] when both sides DEMONSTRATE WILLINGNESS to SHARE EVIDENCE, follow guidelines of debate and accept rulings from an arbitrator in a good faith effort to arrive at either the truth ..."
in other words "where's the beef?" show me what ya got boys and girls. let's see the evidence.
(but perhaps you should just email it to me because you may EXPOSING yourself to problems that could end up making cyberspace virtual history.)
love and peace and happy holidays!

ps: a holiday special closing zinger -- you are 100% correct when you wrote the three of the first four words in you post "we don't think." a nice touch.
