BIGGEST LAUGH OF THE YEAR:  When Tom played Mike the salutation from Bruno S.  That WHOLE show was incredible--maybe my favorite of the year. 

What's the date of that show?

Dave, I relistened to your call, and I admit I was wrong to lump you in with those mutants. Your stories had less to do with childhood cruelties you perpetrated, and more to do with random bad things befalling kids you knew. You're certainly not in a league with a Mike From Manhattan, say. I apologize.

Now apologize to me for your insane Frank Booth mini-rant, and we can all go home.

I think Spike should get a special achievement in sadness and delusion. He really went above and beyond this year.

Andy from Bath should be nominated as saddest and most delusional caller. (I vote that we collapse the two categories.) However, owing to his youth, I think he should not actually be inflicted with the award. Spike should win it instead, as a warning to Andy--and to us all.

Wally Wackiman should win rookie of the year. He went from caller to protege in the span of a few months. (It was unfortunate that Z-man tripped him up in the end.)

And despite my fondness for him, I think FoNPR should be disqualified for best caller because of his puppetism.

Wait a minute here! 

Mr. Meltmaster, have you forgotten my later conversion.  I admitted I was in error re: our cloth brethren and supported the felt-fellow in the end.

Sincerest apologies. Want to arm-wrestle?

Oh. Somehow I missed that in the fray. I'm glad you've given in to puppet love. Or at least tolerance. I officially vote for you to be nominated for caller of the year.

Edit: PS: Wanting to add that Julie should be nominated because she called in sober. I was so happy for her I wanted to cry.
