We asked you. You nominated them. They bothered to reply. And just like that, the first round of Bwog Personals is here. All interested parties should contact Bwog via e-mail and we’ll provide $10.54 for the date. (That’s right — in light of these tough economic times, we’ve begun adjusting for inflation. Just try not to blow the extra 54 cents all at once.)
