Honorable mention to runner-up Ben Dover ("I Heart Soccer Moms"). And kudos to Alicia Mazurek for "offending delicate sensitivities" like no one else can.

Special thanks to our guest bartenders, Michael "The Mixologist" Gleeman and Anna "If At First You Don't Succeed, Chai Chai Again" Chai, for keeping glasses full and smiles on faces.
