OK, here in no particular order are my picks as finalists. As you can see, duck and red are the main themes, but the bike name has been an inspiration for some, and my living near H..., Norway is reflected in a few. I've left out some that others had as favorites. RubySlipperz is the bike's name. It's a better bike than I am a biker, so I feel its name shouldn't be mine. And I've been DocDuck on other fora after getting the degree -- a good nickname, but I've been there, been called that.

Some of these may need tweeking, but if it's your favorite and you see a way to tweek it to the better, feel free to offer your version. Comments or reasoning for choices also welcome.

I haven't found a button anywhere that lets me set this up for automatic tallying, so we're getting hand-counted ballots here. I'll tally them up and then stuff my ballots in for the final count Saturday afternoon.
