That's Monsterville Horton IV. And here are some things we have learned about him:

His career to date has included sommelier, wine consultant, wine educator/lecturer, wine buyer and wine judge.

Monsterville believes that great wine is not simple; however, it's not inscrutable either.

I am refraining from voting in the taco bm monster/rev. demon sox matchup. To choose one over the other would be like choosing one of my children over the other. It just cannot be done.
Can we just mention that one of Taco B.M. Monster's co-authors on that publication is Lolkje T.W. de Jong-van den Berg? What in the heck kind of name is that? Lolkje T.W. de Jong-van den Berg... is ridiculous.
But, of course, Taco wins this match-up and the entire tournament. TACO MONSTER!!!!
This must be the hardest pair of match ups! I am so sorry Dr Loveday Conquest but I could not vote for you!
Let's be honest....the seeding here is criminal. How MHIV and Dr. TBMM can face each other this yearly is an outrage. This is a Championship caliber matchup or at least a final four. SHAME ON YOU HIGH COMMITTEE!!!
You totally ruined my monsterville fantasy.
Since he was the 4th, I pictured this long dynasty of monsterville hortons.
Like Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump, I pictured one Monsterville fighting in every American major battle. It didn't quite line up with numbers, but still.
Good God, next contest please!
This is turning into the Jarndyce v. Jarndyce of brackets.
Do you have any contest?
Thanks for the awesome and perfect post :)

Hey, everyone... are you guys all psyched up for NOTY 2012? I think it starts pretty soon. I can't wait for the match-ups!
My office pool has completely lost interest at this point. Way to kill the enthusiasm.
Yep... our office pool has completely fizzled as well. It's unreal how slow this thing goes. We've been talking about starting up a new one where we'll actually complete the voting and tournament within a reasonable timeframe (within 3 or 4 weeks, instead of the 3 or 4 months that this thing takes, for no discernible reason).
you guys are aware that there are about a thousand people would put this up for you guys in a timely fashion? There are a lot of you on the high committee, can't ONE of you make time to post?
I smell a mutiny on the HMS Noty.
The NOTY high committee sure is taking their sweet time with this. Not really sure why, since we all know that Taco BM Monster is going to be the winner. Sure, Taco is a 2-seed, but that's intentional.
I can't wait until we get to see the 2012 bracket in about 4 years.
I'm about ready to give up unless they decide to start posting more than once every fortnight.
Annnnd...bookmark is deleted. Way to ruin a great tradition, fellas.
