Saddest Call: Spike admitting that Weirdos Exposed wasn't real "for the sake of argument".  I mean that as truly sad, not just pathetic.  My heart broke a little bit.

Best Guest:  Have to agree with PFT for the Juggalo conversation.

Caller of the Year: Andy from Bath.  If not quality, at least in quantity.  His improvement was remarkable.

Best Caller: Fredericks of New Port Richey [Nobody is even close.  This was the Year of Fredericks.  Give the man his due!]

I think Spike's fake reading of "Weirdos Exposed" makes him a shoo-in for Most Delusional Caller.

Fredericks, is that a picture of yourself that you're using for your avatar? Or someone I ought to recognize, but don't? (And if it's you: no shirt, huh? I like that choice.)

I'm not a big fan of shoes either.  Specifically sandals.

Believe me you don't want know him.  It may be me.

Best call nominee: Brian from Brooklyn (I hope that's the correct name) with the story about the guy trying to steal the Jet magazine photos from the library.

If only that were me. I blew my rookie year on one serviceable but unmemorable call.

Rookie of the year: Kevin from Troy. Didn't realize he was on the air and by the time he was going to contribute he got cut off because it was time for Evan. Well, I thought it was funny.

Oh, c'mon, most delusional caller is obviously Larry.  
His begging off emails say it all.  Like Tom said, "Did this guy win an award, or something?"

I think Fredericks should win Rookie of the Year and Best Caller of the Year.

mike from brooklyn's call about trying to get out of the speeding ticket was earlier this yeaR. that's my nomination for call of the yeaR. if he hasn't called before 2009 then he should totally be nominated for rookie of the yeaR. he had two insanely good calls this year alonE. each one was like a moviE!

edit: june 30th, at the 2:46 mark is mike from brooklyn's speeding ticket calL.

Pretty sure Fredericks started calling in late '08 so not rookie status.

Correct.  He was up for a few awards last year.

Worst Caller: Spike

He really let himself go. And then he kept going and going and going. The Martin Short call was the worst.
