I'll tell you what, Neile. It was a lot of fun for me to go out and dig through eveyone's sites. I realized then just how many rockstars Clarion and CW turn out.
Makes me want to try all the more to make it in next year! :)
Now if you're going to start sucking up already...

Whatever. And Blueberry Muffin.

I do not suck up. I bribe. Or threaten destruction by Robot Armyfication. Or offer a place at my right hand for eternity. The nice thing about the higher realities where I normally dwell is that Space and Time have swapped places with Whatever and Blueberry Muffins, so I can offer the place at my right hand to an infinite number of persons. And I always have breakfast. Don't think too hard about it, it is not understandable in this dimension.
Anyway, impressive job finding all those links.
Taters and Trumpets

That explains it all. I was supposed to pick Whatever and Blueberry Muffins but I picked Taters and Trumpets. Now I got all those carbs on the right and trumpets that bleat the approach of my fat ass everywhere I go!
Dang.
