Five-Word Webby Speech: Coming Down to the Wire

On Friday, I asked for suggestions for the five-word acceptance speech I should give at tonight's Webby Awards.

Your response has been tremendous: over 3,000 suggestions so far. Not surprisingly, Gulf-related references dominated, although there were a number of 5-word plays on the president's performance, tea parties, Arizona, Helen Thomas, and the Move Your Money campaign.

Our HuffPost team is still debating which one I should use.

Here are some of our favorites. Let us know which one you prefer -- or, if you think you can do better, add a new suggestion of your own.

I probably won't make a final decision until I'm walking up to the podium!
