Congratulations, I think you nailed the Gold in this one, Willi picked up the Silver, and eyebooger nabbed the Bronze.
I still need a mascot from you, and from some other people. Once again, it's up to you what it is - it can be very simple. Just get something to me within 24 hours of the time I posted "music is off" (ETA: 4:59 p.m. ET) or you'll be disqualified.
I'll post the next event tonight, if all the chairs have been claimed, or tomorrow after time runs out, if they haven't.
For each song, comics/cartoon character, or food, name the player who answered it. You get 1 point for each correct, 0 for an incorrect. The player(s) with the highest total will get the gold, the player(s) with the lowest total will be eliminated.
PM your 20 unnumbered answers to me without any blank lines or comments - and use "Personal" as your PM heading. Deadline: Wednesday 7 p.m. ET. After that, I will accept entries until I post "no more entries" or start the reveal. Anyone who hasn't submitted by then will be disqualified.
You may research the songs, foods, and characters, but not the players.

This is a non-elimination event in which you all will be acting as POG Olympics judges. Your job is to be as fair and as objective as possible in evaluating each mascot, including your own. Your votes will determine the winner: first choice will get 5 points, second 3, third 1. You must make three choices. The mascot(s) with the highest total will be designated the official 2012 POG Olympics mascot(s) and the artist(s) will win the Gold. Silver and Bronze medals may also be awarded.
PM me with your top three choices (by letter) in an unnumbered list with no blank lines and no comments - and use "vote" as your heading. Deadline: Thursday 7 p.m. ET. After that, I will accept votes until I start tallying.
Eligibility: everyone who submitted a mascot is eligible to medal, including anyone who may be eliminated in Event 6 or otherwise out of the game.
While judging, forget that any of these mascots is yours. I will reveal the names of the artists who medal. Everyone else can claim their mascots after that if they want.
