In lieu of taking last place in the Ms. Congeniality catagory in the SDMB Mock Elections. ( There’s no bitterness, really. 😉 ) I would like all the LOOOOOOOSERs out there (ok, anyone can play) to come up with their own catagory inwhich they are uniquely qualified (IE, a shoe in to win)

Ahem, that said.  
Shirley Ujest:  
Most Likely To Breast Feed While Posting. (Runner up goes to Cristi)
