Ah yes - the contest. Let's stick a fork in it because this baby is done!
First of all, I want to thank ALL the contestants. I'm sending out 2 runner-up prizes of 1000 ECs and 500 ECs to all participants. Of course, I never considered the new credit transfer policy before I held the contest so it may take me a while to get them all out - please bear with me.

Reggy from FragileHeart
PARTICIPANTS (500 ECs)
JD from I DO Things
Mr. Foolish from FOOLSVILLE 2.0
Although I had not planned on it - there appears to be some interest so I will go ahead and post the answers - as I said, all decisions (mine) are final ...
1) What website is owned and maintained by Rob Glenn? Well, I have learned that there is apparently more than one. However, I was referring to one of my favourite sites that I visit ever day: I LOVE BACON
2) What is Canada’s oldest independent brewery? While Molson was a popular and perhaps obvious answer - the distinction actually belongs to Moosehead Breweries.
3) Name the Toronto Maple Leaf who holds an NHL record for scoring his first goal only 15 seconds into his hockey career? Almost everyone got this one - Gus Bodnar.
4) In what stadium does my favourite NFL team normally play? Despite all the Buffalo Bills love I try to spread around here, only one of you got Ralph Wilson Stadium. I leave it to you to guess who. (Hint - see winner)
5) My real first name originated as a city in England, a contraction of the Latin Lindum Colonia, which was the name of a colony for veteran Roman soldiers. What is it? Haha - a few of you correctly guessed Lincoln but the best part was the addition to one which added " and boy do i feel like an idiot for searching for that before noticing that your email address is your name." Too funny, I suspect the rest already knew it.
6) What does the 'J' stand for in Homer J. Simpson? Jay.
7) I attended Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego - which team did I see win? The team that defeated the Oakland Raiders was in fact the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wow - things change fast in the NFL I guess. This was not THAT long ago.
8) What Led Zeppelin song was originally titled Pat's Delight? A classic and ever drummer's wet dream ... of course I'm talking about Moby DIck.
9) Who provided the voice of "Hermey" in the 1964 animated TV movie Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? It was in fact Paul Soles - damn you IMDB!
10) What is my favourite song? This changes quite often but JD was likely closest with "Crazy Train" by some lady! (play video below) - sadly there was no tie to break. SO, I'll leave you with Chris guess - ENJOY and as always, CHEERS!
