Today is your final chance to vote on

Best New Member (2014)

Best New Member (2010-2013)

and

Best Newb.

Today, you can still vote on

Outstanding Achievement in News Gathering

and

Outstanding Achievement in Tweeting/Social Media

Your two new categories for today are

Outstanding Achievement in Mandatory Fun Prediction - Wow! This member really got it right! They were spot-on with every parody target, every polka target, and knew exactly what the content of each song would be! The only other person who knew this much about Mandatory Fun was Al himself. (Note: The winner of this award probably did not know every exact detail about Mandatory Fun, but they were pretty close. Sometimes.)

and

Outstanding Lack of Achievement in Mandatory Fun Prediction - Wow! This member was so wrong, it's funny to think about now that we know exactly what's on Mandatory Fun. Who ever came up with those ideas?? What do you mean there was no The Big Lebowski song?? No Game of Thrones inspired song?? No "Let It Go" parody?? This member was very wrong.

For Outstanding Achievement in Mandatory Fun Prediction, I nominate Marko_The_Odd who (as best as I can tell) was the first member to credibly speculate that Al might do style parodies of The Pixies, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and Cat Stevens before there was any actual evidence to suggest it.

For Outstanding Lack of Achievement in Mandatory Fun Prediction, I gotta go with WeirdAbbott for his post:
I LOVE "RevALution"! That has to be it!
Looking back over the RevALution discussion, Abbott seemed to be the only member who actually admitting to liking this title. Others had suggested it jokingly.
