And the Winners are...

The 12 days of Christmas is over (finally)! And I'm happy just as much as you are. Naturally it's being ended on January 12th.... I just had to throw in some irony.

So Who won?

In ascending order. Here they are: 1) Welcome Home. Click Here Worst SEO Tips ever. Sarven Capadisli http://www.csarven.ca/ Sarven just had some solid answers. 2) JavaScript Search Play in Object Notation Yahoo vs Google in 50 words Elliot Swan http://www.elliotswan.com/ I picked Elliot because he knows Yahoo! concentrates on people, and not just technology for the sake of it. And by the way, Yahoo! receives the most traffic in the world. Google is sixth in line (behind MySpace.com I might add!). 3) You become what you practice Worst re-design of a major website? Wench http://www.techwench.com/ Wench laid it down and straight up said My Yahoo! sucked (with good reasons). I agree. 4) Easier DOM Walking with cleanWhiteSpace Come up with a joke that has the words "clean", "white", and "space". Paul Paul pretty much summed up the three saying that "clean" and "whitespace" are two qualities not found in his briefs. That's just good humor. 5) Unobtrusive Degradable Ajax Style Sheet Switcher Yoda vs Willow Nate Cavanaugh http://alterform.com/ I chose Nate's answer on this because I was secretly waiting for someone to pick willow. And was in fact, most creative. It was even funnier that he thought willow was a tree! If anyone was wondering, I was talking about Willow from the movie: Willow. Willow was a short little midget who lived in the woods and eventually went on to becoming a sourcerer using a twig as a wand and saving his village. 6) Styling inputs Come up with a make-believe band. Name it. And give Five sample tracks Sammy Sammy's answer was just too damn creative to pass up. 7) How to deal with Negative Comments Flinstones vs Jetsons? Tony Summerville http://www.exit404.com/ I was actually waiting to hear why the Flinstones were better, and Tony mentioned that the Flinstones were the first couple on television to sleep together. 8) Centering a webpage without the wrapper div Describe a hypothetical tag-team cage match-up between Jeffrey Zeldman and Molly Holzschlag vs Eric Meyer and Rachel Andrew Derek Brown http://www.desertfather.com/ Derek summed up a match of how the four would just sit in the middle of the ring and talk about Microformats along with other 'oh so typical' tasks that are in their character. 9) Hide that Sidebar Give a great match on Googlefight.com Dante http://pianoman.wordpress.com/ Dante mentioned Me vs Cameron Diaz - something that hit home since I joke about her a lot as being a cousin who never speaks to me. 10) Collapsable Effects with Script.aculo.us Write an ode to my underwear Raanan Avidor http://www.murphys-laws.xom/ Raanan's answer had me at lingerie being a lovely meal. 11) Surface level tips for Good API Writing Write an Ode to my first job Jim A http://www.auldridges.com Jim wrote a fancy little ode about his term he gave in the service. 12) Reveal Your Hidden Talents to MC Diaz Looking for the best hidden talent: Jason Beard http://www.jasongraphix.com/ This was a unanimous vote. Jason pulled a Numa Numa and I fell off the chair. You rock!

And thanks to all!
