(Your) Best of 2006

Figured instead of us mouthing off about our favorite stuff this year we'd let y'all do it. No one's hear to read my stupid opinions anyway. So, let us know in the comments what y'all liked this year - could be music, movies, books, sports, places to eat/hangout, local, national, whatever - as long as it happened or was new in 2006.
If you care about other folks' lists,
Largehearted Boy's got 'em alphabetized. I didn't see The Onion's there though, so
here it is.
