2016 Gint-a-cuffs (1 of 2)

Once again, it's Gint-a-cuffs time. This is my 5th year to compete and while my luck seems to have dried up, it's still a lot of fun and I plan on participating for as long as it's around. Since I'm a little late here, I've decided to limit the box to two posts. Here we go...
