…and recognise those dopers who you think deserve it for their contributions, or their manner, or whatever. One way to stop it becoming a flirt-feast is if we try not to reciprocate a nomination; so if someone nominates you, try vey hard not to nominate them right back. Push out the envelope and make someone else’s day.
I’ll kick off, as behoves me, and nominate a couple first off (sure to be back for more): Cunctator, for raising the tone with his musical threads; and Priceguy, for looking like a younger version of me (on a bad day, admittedly), and for straight-talking.
Okay, I just realised I was flirting with PG, or perhaps even more with myself, but I never said this was going to be easy.
I nominate Zoe for her intelligence, temperance, lifestyle (and love of life itself) – and for her genuine, almost heroic attempts, to live by the standards she believes in.
And of course (since we’re not nominating back, I need not fear retribution) the highly esteemed roger thornhill himself! He is one of the most intelligent, intriguing, accomplished, well-read and enigmatic of the Straight Dope’s posters.
My regard for both these posters is immense, and I’ve said so before. Kudos to you both.
I nominate Askia for being erudite, witty, and smart as hell: I always click whenever I see he’s posted something new; his posts are such damn fun to read.
That’s the stuff. Onto my List s/he goes.
TubaDiva and the Mods have my gratitude, for putting up with all of us.
I’m groveling as hard as I can! See! Grovel-grovel.
