the playahs: “the best thing ever” blog game

Okay. I have the final list of players for The Best Thing Ever: England.

Before I get to that, a few things: (What?? No Dickens?!! Okay. I just had to get that outta my system.)

No, really — I had more choices than slots available, so I went based on time, first-come, first-served as I said before. Also, someone emailed me to ask why his choice wasn’t listed and all I can surmise is that the comment must have gone into my spam filter, where I then accidentally deleted it. If any others of you see that your choice isn’t here, it’s either that or just getting in a little too late. Sorry! But thanks to everyone who made a choice!

Okay, already. The list!
