I nominate Snigdha Nandipati for Groghead of the Month. Anyone who can spell "ambush or trap" as guetapens deserves a nod!

I know you're saying something but I don't quite get it.

It's either something really obvious that I should know, or it proves the point once again that "It's five o'clock somewhere."
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

She is the national spelling bee champion.

And she won by spelling a groggy word! Grognard -- derived-from-french-term to indicate professional soldiers and The Slog!

Snig's word -- guetapens -- derived from french-term meaning ambush or trap.

She's practically Groggy McGroggerson!

Ah! Thank you. Agreed.

I'm pretty sure that's how she actually won.
Everyone else failed to spell or even pronounce her name correctly :P

Longblade is far too humble and sincere to entertain such accolades.

In that case, Gus' genitals would be a strong contender.

Never even crossed my mind. There are probably four or five contenders for "most discussed."

Most posts? Sure, that's probably me.

But most discussed? I doubt I'm in the Top 20.

If we combine all discussion of the boobs of his various past loves in to one super topic, that probably wins.
