Congrats to Jamy Bond (www.jamybond.com) and fellow finalist Aimee LaBrie (aimeelabrie.wixsite.com/website).

I never met Tom, but I owe him many drinks for taking that gorgeous joke over the finish line
Phil Theobald@whimsicalphil.bsky.social · 2y agoOnce the screenshot was brought to our attention, we decided to make it a running gag. When GameNOW moved from Chicago to SF and had a near-complete turnover of its staff (I was one of two editors who made the move), the new EIC (Tom Byron) thought the gag was hilarious and further encouraged it.
