Let me apologize. There will be a slight delay in announcing Mr. Wonderful's le Citation de la Semaine Award today. It is our new Selection Committee member, #1 Groupie, who is giving us problems. Big time probems. You see, #1Groupie was appointed before her credentials were fully examined. I was warned, but I would not listen. #1 Groupie became a bit testy when this was mentioned to her. I do hope she is not a troll. After all, she is quite beautiful, and she spent her entire career in an undercover capacity breaking the hearts of legions of international spies.
There is a second problem which I hope to resolve right here and now: Groupie #1 sat in the corner "smarting" during this this morning's Selection Committee meeting. We thought she was smarting about the credentials thing, but it soon became evident that she was smarting because Malapropism & Invictus had posted a picture of MissInformation - but I had not posted a picture of #1 Groupie. If this does not come across as a clickable hotlink, not to worry, as I will repost at a later date. Meanwhile, let's give it a good 'ol Eagle try:
Mr. Wonderful is pleased to report that the problem has been resolved: The credentials of Groupie #1 have been authenticated, and the Selection Committee is ready to announce the recipients. I say recipients plural because the Committee has decided to use a suggestion made by #1 Groupie: the trefica straight method as employed in horse racing: WIN - PLACE - SHOW. Groupie #1 became versed in that method during one her many undercover assignments on the exotic French Riveria. This week's winners are:
WIN: stinky cheese man's characterization of you-know-who: "he's an equal-opportunity irritant."
PLACE: Miss Information's bumper-sticker statement: "Honk if you want to Fire Shelby." [Groupie #1 is still miffed that her competitor would even be considered. She thought she had veto power, but the Committee explained to her something about shared governance. It may take some time, but she'll get over it]
SHOW: This goes to LeavingASAP whose analysis suggests that he/she probably did not make an "A" in logic: "THEOREM: Of course USM is "World Class" and SFT has made her "World Class." PROOF: Can you name another university in the world that is run the way USM is being run? THEREFORE: USM is the only university in the world to run this way. "WORLD CLASS"!! QED"
ALSO RAN: Googler: "Forrest County may need to build a special court facility to hear all the cases against USM . . . ." and Jim Hollandsworth's clever one-word characterization of what is referred to as the "USM Family" on one of the message board's game shows: "Coven."
Congratulations, stinky cheese man, for your WIN. And congratulations, too, to Miss Information and LeavingASAPfor capturing the PLACE and SHOW positions respectively. And to Googler & Jim Hollandsworth: your postings were great too, and they made the Selection Committee's job very, very tough.
I'm still tallying all the notes that Mal & Vict sent this morning. Hopefully, I'll have it all together before the Ladies Missionary Society, but if not, then afterwards.
You are to be congratulated for making the very logical choice of LeavingASAP for SHOW. It is clear that you used logic and didn't let emotions enter into your considerations. Please continue your excellent work.

Oh, but that was the fun of it, Stinky - trying out all the alternatives that you must of considered when you said that RK was "an equal opportunity irritant." Mr. Wonderful and I came up with some sizzlers that even you may have neglected. (He likes it when I talk dirty to him. Are you surprised?)

Miss Information probably thinks Garrison Keillor is a porn star.
