Who doesn't love a good glass of wine?

Today I would be pleased to nominate @gno for her terrific answer to the below question.
I drink a lot of Crown Royal and rye. Will switching to wine make me more attractive to the ladies?

She effectively breaks down the two areas of concern in her answer as well as providing some very useful information steering the questions asker, @robbrown through the new Conundrum Wine connection, to some maybe unseen benefits of wine in combination with conversation and good times.

I'm going to go for @easyboy's awesome answer to the "What would you do as the new CEO of Mahalo?" question.

easyboy's answer

Easyboy is a long time member of Mahalo and his answer shows that he cares, like every other staff member, about mahalo's continued success. His ideas would increase efficiency and the fun factor of being a part of Mahalo on the user as well as the worker side and give some great incentives to workers as well as help to bring more blood into Mahalo.

Kudos.

Ok, I got beaten to the finishline by chriswingate on my nomination, so I'm going to change my nomination to @robbrown.

I hereby nominate @robbrown for this answer on this question: What would you do as the new CEO of Mahalo?.

All answerers have some great suggestions, and @easyboy and @robbrown are in a close tie for best suggestions. I really like the segmenting suggestion of 10% of Mahalo to the top-20 user seats. It really is in line with the 'shared intelligence, shared profits' idea of the site (did I just make up that phrase? Yes! :) )

I like that Rob was having a bit of fun with the question as well (he doesn't seem to have aspirations of ousting Jason any time soon).
It was intended as both a fun hypothetical and a chance for users to bring up interesting ideas for Mahalo and Jason. So far, it's working!

I would like to nominate @robbrown for his great answer to @demanda 's question, Do you think physically attractive people have "easier" lives? Why or why not?

Rob's Answer

Of course, the answer from @easyeboy is great too with references to Brad Pitt, but I would like to go with @robbrown .

There are lot of links in this answer and the quality of those links reflect the quality of the answer. Especially I liked the last sentence ''Even accounting for intelligence, a person's feeling of self-worth is enhanced by how attractive they are and this, in turn, results in higher pay''.

I'm going for the Trifecta on my CEO question and nominate @jb152 for his great answer.

A fun and thoughtful answer from one of Mahalo's newer users.
I'm all for the beer breaks! (as long as there is a designated Tesla driver available, or headquarters moves to Tokyo and we take a train..)

It is good to see someone looking at the future big picture, and not just the short term. Although many people are looking at some kind of modification for shared revenue towards a higher tier, it kind of closes the door on the little guy. Ya know? Anyway thanks for noticing the answer, didn't think anyone was reading it ;]

I'm going to nominate @madgolertom 's answer to my "Legal High" question.

I'm really hoping that I've done the whole link thing right there, if not then I'm just going to have to post the URL because the picture describing how to do it just doesn't make any sense to me.

He has given me his complete, honest opinion here and never strayed from the point.

Also, it's a completely unbiased opinion - he doesn't drink or take drugs himself and yet he has made informed decisions and put them across perfectly in answer to my question :)

This is absolutely THE BEST answer I have ever had to one of my questions.
