There you have it, 23 nominations with Arky drawing some rave reviews from the TZers.  9 nominations and none of them signed "Mrs. Arky" either.

---------------------------

And the winner is, with the first ever double Stubings, back-to-back even, Craig for his contribution at No. 3. Next week, Craig tries for the three-peat, for the use of which term he will have to pay royalties to Pat Riley. Congratulations, Craig.

How does one NOT win a Stubing when getting a record 9 nominations?

Inconceivable!  It's a conspiracy against Arky!!
