Chicken Son of Nugget didn't quite pass the marketing test.

Neither did Filet From Fish.

Also, if the chicken is female, she might be called Chicken NíNugget

just realized a better way i could have denoted the twofer entry on each category reveal

instead of Booker and 2Booker, I could just have put the higher-scoring entry in parentheses, so it's clear to the reader without interrupting flow

like so

Higgeldy -- 4
amplify
(Booker Wolfbox)
DWetzel
JMurder3

Piggeldy -- 2
Booker Wolfbox
UncleDynamite

next time!
