Shout out to @ick300!

I had initially intended to only shout out posters who have been active but, after I decided to start including polls (which I'm not sold on continuing, since they don't seem to be getting much traction), I figured I might as well shout out anybody who's name acutally populates.

@Capt. Factorial, you never bothered to mention whom I left off the May 4 poll?
 
Making me choose between the “father” of Mega Man and the reason I love defense.

I mean, I'm familiar with the reference, but what I'm telling you is that he apparently wasn't "famous" enough to make the list of famous people that I pull these things from, and these lists tend to include a lot of obscure people I've never heard of.

Right, I just had that in my head after deciding to rewatch JFK after our back-and-forth.

Edit: also the Seinfeld episode that parodies JFK (with Wayne Knight no less) is pretty top notch too.
