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.
