OP updated. Now I will try again to get into my mail so I can find out what Len wants to change. Thanks for the work JC.
As the unofficial, completely unqualified, largely unskilled and marginally useful font of occasional wisdom FA style, I feel we should all have mascots..

Kicking things off... Nominating Terry for Commish again. I find his infuriating obtuseness at times to be typically awesome in my rearview mirror

We take this stuff so seriously we bought an island to hold the selection discussions.. /Portals/0/Users/017/57/3857/SPW_pics_--_IOMM2.jpg
Welcome to the island club. Hope you bring us some luck. BTW. Chelsea remains the official WSW mascot. We briefly thought of the Sarah Island Savage, but couldn't fit his head on a pike.
[span style='text-align: justify; color: #333333;]The Waikiks have got into the swing of things and have decided to made public the dreadful secret of their mascot. I warn you that this is not a story for the faint of heart. Allow me to introduce our mascot - Trifon. Or more correctly Saint Trifon the Pruner; perhaps the first Bulgarian to take an active interest in the afl. But I digress. <div> <p style='text-align: justify;][span style='color: #333333;] [span style='text-align: justify; color: #333333;]Saint Trifon the Pruner is the patron saint of vine-growers and wine-producers. His pruning shears are the symbol of wine and fertility in Bulgaria. Trifon is also called the drunkard&rdquo; because of his excessive love of red wine (I see some of you nodding sagely) and the noseless&rdquo; because of a little encounter he had with the Virgin Mary (I see more nodding). [span style='text-align: justify; color: #333333;] [span style='text-align: justify; color: #333333;]According to popular legend, Trifon was pruning his humble vineyard one day when Mary happened by. The future saint (hungover perhaps?) mocked and taunted her, and then asking 'do you know who fathered your son?' The Virgin took offence and ordered Trifon to cut off his nose with his pruning shears, which he promptly did. The picture below is of Trifon with the pruning shears and his nose. Beware the evils of alcohol my friends. [span style='text-align: justify; color: #333333;] [span style='text-align: justify; color: #333333;]Three questions come to my mind: (1) Is this an odd road to sainthood?

Regretfully in this case, images of the mascots are required as this will help prevent 'plagiarism'
Given the site was down over the weekend I'm not sure if anyone has objections around timing, but with only the one nominee for commish are we happy to call Terry elected and move on to other topics?
