WINNERS!Each of these clever sports— all Seattle residents—win dinner for two at fine local restaurants. (Good luck finding dates, people—there’s always the classifieds.)Paul Sakai could be hawked on a late night infomercial, along with the kinds of useless products that fold up and slide under the bed. His tag would read: “I’m compact and can fit into small spaces with the greatest of ease.” This quality is truly exceptional. We’d love to know where it’s taken him.Kate Shuster’s got her finger on the pulse when it comes to politics, shopping, and dining out—but good taste doesn’t get you anywhere without some social skills. We have concerns for her in this regard given her peculiar “best” quality: “My endless supply of saliva.” We just hope she’s had her shots. Down, girl.Shawn Steen seems like a nice enough gal—she bowls at Leilani, buys at the Village, and brunches at Charlie’s. Just don’t get on her bad side. “I can peel a potato a yard away just by hating it,” she writes. And that’s her best quality.RUNNERS-UP!Each of you lucky folks wins a stunningly dry Seattle Weekly T-shirt! (Wear it wet if you want! We won’t stop you!)”My ability to move to Seattle without any money and get a job and a house and still be able to pay my student loans on the salary I earn as a stupid restaurant hostess!” —Carianna Tarvin, Seattle”As someone nicknamed Chad, I thank you for keeping the Florida jokes out [of the voting]! Which brings me to me! My best quality: ability to carry on a conversation, sip a drink, and keep an eye out for any hotties at the same time (oh, guess that’s qualities!).” —Chandler Haase, Seattle”Boyish charm, devilish good looks . . . oh, and humility!” —Jay Gormley, Port Angeles”My clit ring.” —Becky Green, Seattle”I am a fabulous breaker- upper. I mean, I end relationships really well. I’ve had a lot of practice!” —Christie Parker, Seattle”I’m a good driver: I can actually merge onto the freeway without bring traffic to a halt. I know what the accelerator is for. I have a turn signal and I’m not afraid to use it, and I’ve long since lost that childlike sense of wonder that causes people to leave of their senses when it rains. I own neither a cell phone nor an SUV!” —Kathryn Schipper, Bellevue”I do surveys instead of work.” —Marin Kaetzel, Seattle
