2011 SpursTalk Political Forum Awards Nominations

[101A]

I quibble with classing boutons as independent. He reps the " pox on both your houses" line with the best, but when pressed, his preference for the Democratic Party is unmistakable.

Feeling generous.

[Winehole23]

gotta plug him in somewhere

[SnakeBoy]

Assistant prof: SnakeBoy

Flattered WH but I don't think I belong on the list. Maybe in the running for poster who cares the least about any given topic.

With that in mind I'll just say hands down my favorite poster is Parker2112. Wish he would post more.

[Spurminator]

Also missed: Mr. Peabody

Once you get tenure you can let things slide a little bit. An associate professorship suits you to a "T" imho.

(Besides, this is all just a glorified beauty contest. Take a deep breath, adjust your tiara, and smell the roses. Some people like you.)



(Sir: if you check my initial post, you'll see you've been downgraded, as per your request. )

[Winehole23]

+1

[Winehole23]

, how did I forget Spurminator?

Top shelf poster.

[DarrinS]

Damn. I got voted least knowledgeable by people I usually agree with.

Ouch!


Well, you all.

[Agloco]

Glorified beauty contest.....

And to think I was planning a celebratory run around the block once scott got back.

In other news: Upon further review, I've determined that my vote for worst independent poster will be Parkay_1221 or whatever.

I've also changed my vote on most annoying troll to include cosmored (whom I'm still convinced is in cahoots with his intellectual equal, mouse)

[Agloco]

Damn. I got voted least knowledgeable by people I usually agree with.

Ouch!


Well, you all.

Besides your bag full of butthurt, is there anything else you might take away from that result?

[Agloco]

I like Spurminators inclusion of "Best Angry Tirades".

Fuzzy and DR get the nods here.

CC gets an honorable mention. He can get going when incited.

[George Gervin's Afro]

Damn. I got voted least knowledgeable by people I usually agree with.

Ouch!


Well, you all.

Congratulations!

[Winehole23]

WH only posts anti-American crap......he wants us to fail...

I only post anti-dan crap. I want you to fail.

There's a subtle distinction.

[johnsmith]

I only post anti-dan crap. I want you to fail.

In that case.....well done.

[Winehole23]

encouraged to post here more: AF Blue

[Cry Havoc]

encouraged to post here more: AF Blue

And DarkReign for that matter. Dude has been AWOL.

[Winehole23]

Doubt he misses us.

[LnGrrrR]

If there's an award for a catchphrase, I nominate the " ed and un able" line.

[Winehole23]

^^^solid takes, rigorously logical, urbane, and an all-around friendly guy

[Wild Cobra]

I'm about to go on vacation, so we'll leave the nomination period up until I return next week.

Wild Cobra, I'll be in Portland if you want to meet up and grab a beer. Let me know I'll post some aerial photos of where you can find me.

LOL...

I like a challenge.

Make sure you give me daylight photos that include the street number and a view of the property so I can ascertain the shape and orientation. I'll also need to know the city name if it's a suburb of Portland.

I know Portland pretty good...

[Wild Cobra]

1. Posters with a Conservative Leaning:
Professor Emeritus: Marcus Bryant
<snip>

LOL...

You spent some time on that. Not placing yourself?

[LnGrrrR]

I think it's considered gauche to vote for oneself WC.

[Winehole23]

i'm voting a straight ticket of wild cobra.

This goat is very possibly the GOAT.

[Winehole23]

wishes BB posted more too
