Would you like me to fly to you, take you out to lunch (or cook you lunch?) and geek out Herbie-style?

A public search may not show every single update, and some contestants may be filtered from search for quality.
Here are four examples from Herbies:
(For those of you who have already received the book and posted a picture on Facebook, I have your name down -- you don't have to repost, but you're always welcome to).
