  1. And yet the ““corrected final … list” has errors in it, although the error that I see in two places may just be repeating an error that was made by the contestant; it’s impossible to know without seeing the masquerade entry forms.

    I’m slightly embarrassed that I know this, and my excuse is that I’m the parent of a 13-year-old: “Pikachu” is spelled “Pikachu”, not “Picachu”. It looks as if someone may have been thinking of Hugo-winning artist John Picacio.

  2. Mr. Keesan, don’t be embarrassed. When my children were in elementary school, someone on LiveJournal was amazed that I knew what Jigglypuff was. (After being scared of Poke’mon when they were little, because it was too violent for their toddler sensibilities, they really got into it starting at about age eight.)

    Another time, while waiting for my motorcycle to come back from the service department at the dealer, I saw a father and young son who were browsing the accessories. The boy (I think he was four) had a plastic figure in his hand. I asked him if it was a dinosaur?

    He said “No, it’s a turtle,” and opened his hand to show me.

    I said “Wow…it’s a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!”

    He looked at me with wonder on his face that an adult would know who the Ninja Turtles were, which quickly changed into a look of angry suspicion. “How did you know?” he asked.

    His father and I shared a laugh about that, then my bike was ready so I left them as I went to the counter to sign the paperwork.

  3. Are there any photos or videos online? I’d like to at least see what the winner looked like.
