Don Wolfe -- Winner!

Don gets his 15 minutes of fame!
Don Wolfe wins this week for asking to be the winner last week.  More importantly, he asked without justifying some trumped up reason that he should win.  He just wanted to win.

You know, so much of life is yours if you just ask.  Like ketchup at a restaurant, all you need do is ask. They've got plenty in the back just a-waitin to make your french fries all ketchupy.   Don clearly has taken this "ask for stuff I want" attitude to heart.  Some say its what makes Don great.  Others say its his mustache.

We may never know for sure, but we do know that Don is this week's Top Ramen Winner.  Way to go, Don!  And keep asking for more stuff.

Robert Green - Winner!

Robert Green drops the Zephyr Cup when it was handed to him after the England v USA World Cup Game.
Robert Green gets awarded the Top Ramen Award not for spilling an easy shot into the net.  But for manning up to his mistake.  Many an English player avoided the interviews after their humiliating and embarrassing draw with the United States.  But not Robert.  He went to the cameras, stood up tall and admitted his mistake.  He didn't blame the ball or the grass or the astrological signs (like the other keepers who screwed up) but took it on full force.

Way to go Robert!  We all make mistakes, (not usually as big as yours nor in such a public fashion nor with the pride of entire nation dependent on your performance) but only someone of quality can own their own mistakes.  That's what makes you a Top Ramen winner.

Missaka Wijekoon -- Winner!

Missaka Hoists the Zephyr Cup High!
Missaka wins for misplacing and over-concentrating his uric acid.  This is usually only attained by those capable of enjoying the luxuries of life (a trait shared by all winners).  Missaka is no exception.  Despite his uric acid issues, Missaka strives to provide everyone with excellent customer service and has very high productivity and efficiency scores (in the 440's - both of them).  And as you know, achieving scores in the 440's for both productivity and efficiency while having uric acid issues is something only a Top Ramen Winner could do!

Congrats!
