2004-2005 "Excellence in Posting" Nominations

It is time, once again, for the nomination process in the Walden Award for Excellence in C&F Posting. Nominations will be received by secret ballot. Simply PM them to me by clicking on the PM button at the bottom of this post.

There is a slight change in the process, this year, in that the final results will not be decided unilaterally, but by use of the Board’s vote feature. I will select a group of finalists from those sent to me privately, and a time-limited poll will be taken, in order to determine the winner.

  • Guidelines:
    •Any current member of the C&F Forums may be nominated.
    •There shall be no more than one nominee per nominator.
    •Posts from 6 January 2004 to 18 May 2005 shall be considered.
    •Please include a link, for consideration, to a positive post by the person you are nominating.

Bloo for the “investigative journalism” category, for his uncovering of the legendary Spillane whistle, which looks strangely unlike the “Spillane” that Davy performs on.

An anonymous benefactor has donated the following whistles for the top three winners: a Susato low-D, a Weltmeister D, and an Alba Highlander D. To whom, among the top three, the Alba Highlander goes is at the benefactor’s discretion.

Just in case somebody would have nominated one of my posts, I ask in advance not to be nominated.

As per your request, Cran …

I hereby officially nominate NOT!

(Good old not. I always love his posts.)

Best wishes,
Jerry

Where has he been lately? :confused:

Hasn’t not been posting?

Best wishes,
Jerry

No, Not has not. Laste I heard, Not’s fingers were notty. I mean, gnotty. No, pnotty.

No, no–wait. Knottie.

naughty?

Wait…we’re nominating the naughtiest person? I thought it was the most excellent person. Now I’m really confused

I thought people weren’t being nominated, but posts?

so we’re nominating the naughtiest post? Have I missed something here?

Rather, people are being nominated based on posts.

No. No. There wouldn’t be much sport in that.

Now you tell me…I’ve been trying to find the naughtiest post all day.

:wink:

Wouldn’t that be in Tom Jones’ trousers? :boggle:

All this cleverness, but it’s too late to wangle for votes.

Nominations will be accepted for a few more hours, before the final poll is taken. In the event of a first-place tie, a run off will be held among the first place holders, with the lower being named second place, and third place, as necessary. In the event of a 2-person tie for second place, there will no 3rd prize be given, but two second prizes. Third place ties will be handled by a run-off vote.

And if all persons nominated receive the same amount of votes, would that be Nirvana or Kumbaya?

:smiley:

ad is the winner.

If I’d a-know’d we was having a contest, I’d a-tooken better care to post something worthwhile.

Is this a tradition? And are there always prizes? Just so’s I’ll know for next year . . .
