//The "Bang-your-head-against-a-wall" award for most consistently contrary poster- Rdor
Hmmm, don't know about consistently contrary; he'd tend more toward the Formal Logic Nose-Thumbing award for tenacity of opinion. Then again, I think lucifer_sam wins that one hands-down.
And I'd give the most consistently contrary prize to rope.
the nana award: jackieg's giving her a run for her money, but Aka still feeds and houses starving musos.
the drug-runner award for best storyteller: the recently-returned discgolfer. Also, Saxzo.
biggest down-home-boy success story: oooo, let's see if I can get an argument going! I nominate Andoru.
most subversive corporate whore: manamana, on the basis that he had to get a haircut for a new job.
the !? award for liberal use of punctuation: jamesmcleay
the >:-( award for punctuation and grammar oneupmanship: the ongoing rivalry between Joanna and limegreen.
//the >:-( award for punctuation and grammar oneupmanship: the ongoing rivalry between Joanna and limegreen.
You're pulling this one out of your ass Heather, there is no rivalry between me and Limegreen on that matter, as far as I'm aware. I'm sure he'd conceed in a second that he can't use an apostrophe to save his life, and I happily conceed that I suck a bunch of ass at spelling.
//Actually, I think I easily could in a life-threatening situation. Otherwise, not. I don't believe in proof-reading.
It's like you just said you don't believe in me. And oh, that hurts. If you were drowning in a possessive c, I wouldn't throw you an apostrophe to save your life now.
I'm all about the content. I used to tell my students that if they were working on their assignment at the last minute, that I'd prefer they spent an extra 10 minutes thinking about the content that either proof-reading or running a spelling/grammar check. (I should point out that that was thinking NOT writing. I didn't want more to read, I wanted something intelligent to read).
I'm flattered, Heather, but I think that AKA does a lot more to deserve her standing. It's an honour just to be nominated. Really. No, truly it is. No, really I mean it.............
Most creative policy solution: dantheman for his anti-smacking workaround:
//Maybe as a punishment parents should take the kids out the back, stick the old rugby boots on and giving them a bit of a rucking... it sorts out the opposition players and where's the confusion with rucking? Its legal as long as your going for the ball...
That would be Would Most Like to have her Fingers in Everyone's Pies award, which obviously I couldn't give to anyone else, unless it was Would Most Like To Know Everyone's Business in which case I do believe that it'd go to Aka.
Gosh what great topic to be the 1st one to open, after I have been away, sooo bloody nice to see what people actully think of me
Would Most Like To Know Everyone's Business in which case I do believe that it'd go to Aka.
and the nana award
Look Mr-I-Can't-Find-Time-For-A-Coffee, if I want to have a wee paddy, I damn well will.
And if I choose to assume I am be called a nosy old bissum, thats my look out.
Note to self, "many hours driving" should be added to the Don't Post After List.
I want to nominate myself as best secret-keeper. It'd be hard to prove, so you'll all just have to believe me. Any challengers? If so, you'll win, cos I'm not risking my title.
Should I perhaps go for most contradictory non-opinion holder?
Aaaaaaah yeap. Imagine knowing who all the troll's, alter ego's etc actually are. Combine that with all behind scenes agendas and gossip and you have a lotta well kept secrets...!
// You better say hello to me when I see you, Miss Jess.
Oh yeah, and the music awards are on next week too! Busy Wednesday. At this rate my wardrobe will soon be filled with pretty black dresses. Of course I'll say hello, Jackie, or at least wave my wine vaguely in your direction ... doubtless sending yet another stream of red onto my grandmother's white woollen scarf. If I manage to get last week's efforts dry-cleaned off, anyway.
:"take 2 eggs, 2 cloves of garlic, 1/4 red onion, sprinkling of pepper, half a hot sichuan pepper, a heaped table spoon of chopped danish blue cheese... mix in bowl... gently fry until brown on one side, serve with a side of: fresh chopped capsicum, sliced black olives and a couple of dollops of tzatziki... optional- gently warmed pita with lettuce and hummus... almost forgot... when omelette is dished up, apply a generour sprinkling of parmesan"
Now to nominate the most friendly and accepting group of music lovers to a vagrant young American: All of you! (But especially the ones who have sent me presents in the mail, namely aka, grimmybug and blink.)
I also nominate limegreen for "Most Brilliant NZ Thesis Writer", because at this point his is the only thesis from NZ I've ever read. He'd probably still win if I read a squillion more, though.
I think I'm too far out of the loop to judge that in a non-literal fashion, and I'd hate to besmirch anyone's honor. The only thing I can be sure of is I know for sure it's not me, as I've never even met any of you.
