What's horned, hang-toothed and slimy all over? The Montauk Monster, of course, which grabbed hold of web surfers this summer and never let go. The creature (which arguably ended up being uncloaked as a product of viral marketing, as predicted by so many fantasy-hating party poopers) mysteriously washed ashore on New York's Long Island, leaving everyone in its wake to ask, "WTF is that thing?" Some argued it was a rotting dog while others hoped it was the hybrid of a seal and a vampire (...okay, that was just us), but what everyone did seem to agree on was that the Montauk Monster made for one deliciously baffling cryptozoological caper (and what goes better with sunburn and watermelon than cryptozoology, right?)

The nominees:

	Faces Found in Cascadian Farm's Frozen Broccoli Packaging - Little faces stashed on the packaging of Cascadian Farm's frozen foods freaked out bloggers, though we kinda like it.
	LilNiceWolf - The weirdest vlogger of the year, hands down. We're still not quite sure what is going on.
	People Trapped in Balloons - People putting themselves inside of bubbles on purpose. For fun? For fetish? We may never know.
	Ringo Starr Does Not Want Any More Fan Mail - Starr put out a message to all his fans: he's too busy to sign autographs for you. So stop it with the fan mail, already!
	Sticky Sweetie - Woman puts her soles to the test by getting purposefully stuck in sticky situations. We're intrigued and feel a little weird inside.
