		<description><![CDATA[Beth,

I will be officially awarding the title to Kendall tonight with a few twists and a surprise for the runner-up. I think both of them could potentially write a book, but for now I&#039;d highly suggest Sarah&#039;s blog, which is often hilarious: http://sarah-meets-world.blogspot.com/

Last year I did a Tournament of Cuteness (), and this year the Tournament of Awkwardness. I&#039;ll probably do something different next year, but if people keep sending me awkward photos, I might consider a mini-tournament. Any idea for future tournaments?

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, the end of a great tournament! 
As AD said way up at the top:
  - Kendall wins the Tournament of Awkwardness
  - Sarah wins the Special Olympics of Awkwardness

Kendall deserves to be congratulated, and she should hug her Aunt Carol for doing some truly awesome campaigning.

Sarah, meanwhile, should write a book. Just the sampler she gave us here was some of the funniest and most cringe-inducing narrative I&#039;ve ever read.

Jamey, will this become an annual thing?]]></description>

As guardian of the jameystegmaier.com comments section, I usually give a pass to those with whom I am unfamiliar.  You, however, have come at me with a direct blow, bursting onto the scene with a villainy not seen since Maxwell Nerdstrom began Jessie&#039;s long, sad decline to the pole.

I will give you one (1) day to retract your statement, or join Bryce, Katie, Ryan Gosling, Johnny Dakota and the 23 other people who have personally wronged me on my List of Enemies.  This is not somewhere you want to be.

Jamey, start the clock.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OMG that&#039;s hilarious and awful! How do they manage &quot;pick her out as the weak link in the herd&quot;? Pheremones? Did some sort of international reputation precede her?

More importantly, that story is proof that the &quot;Let the Awkward People Breed&quot; league is already active in the Dominican Republic.  Maybe they could give us pointers on how to start a successful chapter in the USA. 

We could start in Washington County/Canton.]]></description>
