Before we get to the business at hand, I should let you know that Mr. Coloredwell's 2009 football fashion review is coming soon. Also I should pass along his two Super Bowl fashion stats:
1. Including the Saints, teams wearing white jerseys have won the last 6 Super Bowls.
B. Including the Colts, teams wearing blue jerseys are 5-11 overall in Super Bowls.

DUXOOP DOZEN...THE LONG-OVERDUE CONCLUSION

And now, the big 4...

Catch Phrase Of The Year: "Yaaaaay!" (with too-fast clapping) - Bryan Gunn

A narrow victory over Quote Of The Year "No money, no women, no dope, shit", this was originally coined by former karaoke regular Kevin, but was perfectly-copied and subsequently popularized by Bryan (as well as myself), so much so that we have people who have never even MET Kevin imitating him to cheer each other's karaoke turns. Yaaaay Bryan!

Geak Rookie Of The Year: The Bus

There was a very good rookie crop this year, but my trusty steed left all the others in the dust...wait, make that a snow drift. This past Saturday I had an absolute blast driving around the snow-covered parking lot at my workplace before my delayed shift. All-wheel drive + unplowed parking lot = a shitload of FUN!

Album Of The Year: Citizen Cope - "The Clarence Greenwood Recordings"

As you'll see below, Cope snagged a lot of high spots in this year's SOTY standings, thus making this one an easy choice.
