Our table had fun with the Awards Ceremony this year - we played the WVBA Awards Drinking Game: every time the name Hoppy Kercheval was mentioned, we all had to drink!!!

or, work harder to win....
Besides, without an Engineering/IT projects vs. budget category - why bother? Sorry, Dave, I'd win every time.
Believe it or not, I'm experienced in working with a small / no budget from my days at Elkins. Mr Raese actually expects us to MAKE money, not lose it
I think your category is a good idea. Would you send an entry, if there were such a category? It seems some people don't, then complain when others win. Anyway, I'd enter for best repair and maintenance of 7-year old Pentium III computers in a sales support role....

"Best use of a linux partition on an AMD processor to serve as transmitter-site post-disaster on-air computer"?
"Most overbuilt mulit-raid multi-processor HP blade server just to run traffic software" category.
Now there's some I can sink my teeth into.
A little wordy, though.
"Best use of a fridge at the transmitter site".
"Most creative - non-broadcast related use of closures on an automation system".
Yep...I'm seeing some engineering/IT categories.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
We were betting 5-bucks on who the first jealous competitor whose station wasn't good enough to win anything would whine first. I bet on you, and I thank you for today's lunch.
Shucks Dave,
I was hoping you would send that five bucks to support "Big Daddy Byrd."
I'm not jealous. In fact, I turned down a very good job with your empire in 1996. I really didn't like the motto of company, god, and then family. Even better, they actually told me which organizations I could volunteer with outside of work. So take your pretty WVBA trophies and go back to the death star.
Anywho...Personal "Highlights of the night"....
*kenny bass's "i'm the guy who ate mark martin" quip
*the "owen shit,SCHMITT!" bit
*crown royal
*the roundtable ball busting about computers at my table (dave knows what i mean)
*winning large market "best play by play" for the THIRD YEAR in a row (my ego enjoyed that)
*going to the fishbowl and gibbies later that night
lowlights...
*my wife being sick
*the fishbowl being out of PBR
*gibbies also being out of PBR

Some fat chick tried to pick me up at the bar, does that count as a highlight? Well. at least I think it was a chick. It may have been Chris Lawrence in his Easter bonnett (again).
Titties and beer...thank God almighty for titties and beer!

I don't believe you.
Oh Dave, what have they done to you? You can get your mind and identity back. Just watch a few Jason Bourne movies. Maybe you can be de-programmed.
