1996 Geek Awards

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, this was a tradition started by Kelvin Lawrence the 2nd year of ColoradOS/2 in Cheyenne, and I've been doing it for the last several years at the annual Friday night pizza party, with some help from Aidon typically. The first year Kelvin actually collected fees from all the 'winners' to help buy the next round of drinks - now it's an honorary award, with nothing gained nor lost, besides a bit of embarrassment and laughter.

Anyway - here they are! If they aren't funny to you, bummer - you should have been at the party - they were hilarious then < grins>
