The "Don't kill me." bit is for those who say I'm a one-trick pony. I have been asked to continue by those outside of this site, and I refuse to exclude you guys.
Anyways, rules are simple: Choose your favorite from each category (or as much as you can manage, though try and aim for six minimum if possible). Don't mock others. Don't mock this (I actually do work hard to bring the committee together to get these set up each time, even if I disapprove of their choices at times). Follow these three, and we should have no problems. Should. No guarantee.
