I get this feeling that if he put his mind to it he'd be a wicked opponent and a noted /feared Supervillian!
Don't push him to the darkside he likely has a big toe already across the line testing the waters , folks... --Tyr

I hope everyone knows this was all in good fun, and I honestly hope anyone accidentally forgotten won't be upset. The daily visitors were mostly easy to include, then I listed members who made up like our top 50 in amount of posts... I sorted in various ways. We all even tried to make categories for people we thought we missed, to try and include everyone. What started out as fun turned into a chore to include and not hurt feelings, and it seems already we have a few we missed! Honestly, that was never the intent! We thought we would include everyone, then let the community run with their own voting.

Oh, and it was Darin who voted NT for the nicest legs!!
