Better add Jeff Potter to the "Shameless Promotion" Award list for anything
related to his OutYourBackDoor website...

This isn't a stab though Jeff, I like your shameless promotion.

The one who managed to blow it big time on *one* important
occasion is the best qualified for that title:-)


The "Elena Vialbe" Where Have You Gone Award.

http://carelia.onego.ru/2002-2/2002-2-102-1.jpg.html
She has a desk job in the administration of Moscow oblast
(or region). In 2003 she stood as a candidate for the
Duma (or Parliament), but didn´t get elected - maybe next
time?

BTW it´s either "Jelena Välbe" or "Elena Vaelbe"; the
forename is Russian, the surname Estonian. (She was born
and raised in Magadan, in the Russian far-east, and got
married young with the Estonian biathlete Urmas Välbe.


The "Thomas Alsgaard" Fastest RSN Skier Award.
1) Nathan Schultz
2) Brian May

How about the new boy, Bjørn Bergheim? Someone who´s
done the Birkebeineren in 2:48 must be pretty fast,
any style, any distance!


The "Mora Nisse Nils Karlsson" Top International Poster Award.
1) Janne G
2) Anders Lustig
3) Terje Mathisen
4) Thomas Bystrom
5) Primoz

No contest there - so I´ll nominate myself in the category of
The "Marjo Matikainen" Best Finnish Sweetheart Award:-)

Only one vote: BEST OVERALL POSTER (period)---Chris Cline

Best, Peter

His lines are always so long that I can't read em! Looks like I missed
out.

I like the idea of singling out posts but not posters. POTM and SSOM on
RBR is pretty good and funny sometimes.
