Based on the comments and emails, I think I know how this one’s going to turn out. Should Daily Dose win, the second place finisher will win the prize. Voting starts when you can see this post and ends promptly at 8:00PM CDT (GMT -5, I believe. But don’t quote me on that.)
Don’t feel bad if your submission didn’t make the list. Some were just too lame, some nearly obscene, and others were from unregistered readers. Rules are rules, even if they’re stupid rules. Thanks to everyone who submitted.
I should also mention that some of the submissions were anagrams (more than one, actually), and while none of them made the list, that would have been a far more interesting contest. I didn’t publish those submission so you could use them for the second anniversary contest.
Dick,
There’s a slight problem with the html on the voting thingy! You need a space between the last character in the tag and the closing slash. (Hence you’ve only got my vote so far!)

it told me three times after seklecting that I had not selected
Tried to vote. . . no luck.
Excelsior is the wave of the future!
The computer told me also that i didn’t vote.
I selected three times the last name.
I’m not a registered reader. Is that te reason that it doesn’t work?
Excelsior
I don’t know why it doesn’t work. I guess you get what you pay for. I copied the html and fixed the closing tags per Alex’s comment. Alex must have broke it somehow. Don’t leave your vote as a comment, because I won’t be tallying them. I’ll try to get it fixed or just try it again tomorrow.
Fixed, I think. Let me know.
Yep, seems to work now.
It works!
Hooray!
DK:
Looks like your original name is going to stick. DDOE is nearly as big of a landslider as Tom Osborne will be in the NE Governor’s race.
DA
Daily Dose of Excel is really a great name. It serves as a reminder to “get a daily dose”. I think it is catchy and memorable.

Here comes mandatory church service.
“daily dose of excel” – keep it alive !

Excelog isn’t bad, but XLerate has to go. It’s basically the name of a Houston Astroworld rollercoaster from the early 80’s (one of the first suspensed coasters, IIRC).
DK:
And mandatory short-side options.
For those confused by my comments, Tom Osborne was the head football coach (American “football”) of the University of Nebraska from 1973-1997. Coach Osborne ran the Option offense at the defenders impeding his team from scoring. The Option allowed the offensive players a variety of decisions to either carry the football themselves or to legally transfer the football to a teammate. These “options” created physical and mental mismatches against the opponents, thereby giving the University of Nebraska advantages in the game. The “short-side option” allowed Coach Osborne to further exploit an opponent’s weaknesses.
I apologize for the lengthy explanation. But then againI have endured technical mumbo-gumbo on this site for many months, so I am simply repaying myself for my efforts to keep up.
Classic VB and DDOE. Thanks for fixing the vote thing.
has to be Daily Dose
