On a scale from one to ten, the person who scores an eleven is clearly the
most.  The most what?  Well, that depends on just what you're voting on!
But around here, they're probably one of these:

Most Intellectual/The Einstein Award
Most Knowledgeable Techie on List
Most Likely to be Published
Most Likely to be Seen at an Open-Mike Reading
Most Mysterious/The Hugh Hefner Award
Most Outspoken
Most Persuasive
Most Political
Most Romantic
Most Sensual
Most Serious
Most Surprising

Intellectual, of course, refers to the person who knows a few things about
this and that -- or what is it a lot about a very little?

Outspoken, though?  Is there an inspoken?  Could someone be simply spoken
(probably by ghosts, ghoulies, and other spooks... he will spook, he is
spooky, he was spoken?)

Persuasive?  Is that the cat's meow rocking back and forth as the horse
ambles on the edge of the roof?  (Purr sways eave) Or just the charge for
each sway of the evening? (per sway's eve?)

Political?  Again?  And would being political mean showing good judgment,
governing a country, or maneuvering for power?

Romantic, sensual, and surprising -- c'est moi!

In any case, tell us about your qualifications or your good friend's
endowments for being crowned "The Most" on the list.

"Oh wad some power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion."
     Robert Burns
