Bizarro (read: FUN!!) Doper Awards

First Edition!


Let's pass out some meaningless accolades for the best and brightest from 2006....


*For Longest Prehensile Tongue in A Moderator Position: Giraffe

*For Most Interesting Use of Signature Fonts and Sizes: Bosda

*For Best Use of Sheep: Hal Briston

*For Length of Persistence in Nudging Celebrities Off This Mortal Coil: a35362

*For Frontline, Badass Coverage of The Odious Phelps Clan: Baker


.... and that's just to name a few that's easily been floating around in my cesspool. Throw in anyone you like and we promise to only let them drown a bit. Mwahahahahaha.


~MC faithfool (Whose sorry she's still not resisting the urge to tease Hal -- because it's just sooooo much fun!)

It's called the Helen Hokinson Dowager Death-Ray Prize, and you just might retire it next year. So far, however, your sense of humor keeps that goal just inches from your grasp. Another problem is, whenever you say "Well, I never!" absolutely no one has the courage to suggest that, well, you know.

. . . which is why I usually say, "well, really!" (No one ever knows what I mean when I say I have turned into a Helen Hokinson matron.)

Most hours logged on parents' couch......

Most food consumed while posting....

Most knowledge of inane and pointless trivia...

Most pretentious spelling/grammer corrections....

Most use of annoying-ass cliches...

Most jobs started in a single year...

Not sure who to nominate. I just thought these would be great categories.

I might have nominated matt_mcl for that one, except that I nominate him for the "Demographic Specificity Award (Left-handed Francophone Socialist Pagan Esperanto-speaking Parliamentary-candidate Division)", and can someone be nominated for more than one award?

Awards for the best and the brightest
Require a touch of the lightest.
How to single out one
From so many, such fun,
And offend none? I haven't the slightest.

Excellent point, if we are limited to one award in an area of posting, I concede the precedence of my award to your award. Either way ETF knows we appreciate her efforts.

I nominate for Most entertaining Doc: Qadgop the Mercotan
