There were so many good entries last week-- Ang, Neil Alan Willard, Renee, and many others-- but the most effective lobbying campaign was by supporters of RRL, who submitted this haiku:

Duh, duh, duhhhhhh, duh duh,
dah duhhhhhh. Duh, duh, duhhhhhh, duh,
duhhhhhhhhhhh.

If you don't recognize it,here is a hint:



So congrats, RRL, and I will see you at Scruffy's Thursday night.

Meanwhile, here is a brief biography of RRL:

A native of Sherman, Texas, RRL is a direct descendant of both the founder of that town (Sherman T. Xas) and Confederate General Nathan G. ("Shanks") Evans, for whom he is named. RRL's early childhood is lost to history, as his parents were itinerant lawyers, wandering from Sherman as far south as Denton and northward to the Oklahoma border, who often left him in the care of his intoxicated uncle, William David ("Shanks") Prizzle.

Despite these hardships, RRL succeeded in his studies at Sherman High School, where he graduated 21st in his class, just ahead of current Texas governor Rick Perry. He then furthered his education at Baylor and Baylor Log School, where he learned his current craft of lumbering and the timber trades. He eventually began his own timber business, earning enough to purchase his own private train and several members of the Texas House of Representatives.
