Like the Oscars last night, this month's Guru Leaderboard is shaping up to be quite a contest.  At the time of this posting, we have academicant and btgarner neck and neck for the lead while guinnesscrazy is only a few points behind.  Make sure to play this week as the 29th is fast approaching.  Oh, I almost forgot, Hey FJ, don't be a bridesmaid again this month. 

Smack Hero of the Week

In the words of Abbyh: "I'd like to nominate NancyPJ for Smack Hero of the Week. Nancy is one of those smackers who doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. She is just a fantastic person all on her own, and her record speaks for itself. Her six wheel spins, 700+ guru points, and her amazing attendance percentage and purchase count is only the beginning. She is also a wonderful, supportive friend who opens up her living room for reality TV addicts to dish on their favorite shows. I know for me, Jellyfish is a much better place because of NancyPJ, and I have no doubt that many others agree."  I couldn't agree with you more Abby.  NancyPJ, enjoy your day in the sun!

Smack Hero of the Week

In the words of FLT: "I would like to nominate rebbie for Smack Hero.  She really worked hard to put together the Philadelphia Smack Meet, and despite her being up well past her bedtime, it was a ton of fun the entire night.  All the activities she planned were really fun and helped the attendees get to know each other much better."  Thanks rebbie for doing your part to make the Smack a special place.

Smack Hero of the Week

In the words of Montecito3 (aka Mrs mgpatton): "At the risk of seeming biased I would like to nominate mgpatton4 for Smack Hero. He's a dedicated Smacker who truly enjoys the Smack community, adding daily sarcastic humor to the chat. He's made more than his share of Smack purchases. Dare I say that I would nominate him for Smack Hero even if we were not so close!"

Smack Hero of the Week 

In the words of madcitymama: "I'd like to nominate villagebeagle because the 'coins for charity' idea originated with her desire to use her Smack 'takings' for something good. Some brainstorming, and an idea was born. She is a very caring, giving person, who thinks of others before herself. We need more people like villagebeagle."  Agreed madcitymama…congrats on the Hero-ship villagebeagle!
