We'll be honest with you: while we enjoy discovering what you voted as Rochester's best pizza parlor or car shop, our favorite part of Best Of is going through the smart-ass answers sent in by our clever, snarky readers. You all are funny. And MEAN! But that's why we like you. Below find some of our favorite responses to the open-ended primary ballot, which ran during September. If you missed your chance to get in a zinger or two, make sure to check back next fall for a chance to get in your potshots.
