As you read your way throught the 2007 Yuma's Best section, perhaps the idea occurred to you that not everything fits conveniently into a database.

In fact, even though most people will answer the questions in a direct way, some people just can't help themselves, and pop off with odd answers.

So, we dug a little deeper, and got to the wierd, the wacky, the wonderful responses from your friends and neighbors.

Enjoy our send up of the Best of the Rest, 2007.
