also, I'll take this opportunity to announce a new, occasional hogwash® auxiliary award, the 'Armadillo Roadside Memorial' (ARMil®); nominations for this award are open in concert with the regular voting, and any decision on the awarding of the ARMil will be arbitrarily and capriciously taken by the hogmaster® (i.e., me) based upon nominations received from the hogminions (i.e., y'all).
