You other newbies make me sick, horning in on my shameless self-promotion action!
And that’s just a mild example of my flame skills (turned way down on account of the forum and the fact that I don’t really wanna frighten away any of you more sensitive newbie folk). Yep, I’ve turned into a bit of a Pit whore, which in my opinion should not be held against me in any way in this contest, unless you want to feel my wrath in the Pit!
As you can see in this gem and here, my Pit posting style is more reasoned argument than incoherent profanity. Well, at least I try to write complete sentences. Sure, in the Pit that gets me ridiculed and ignored, but that’s better than getting virtually urinated on :mad: [sup]~~~#[/sup]:eek: Gross.
Thank you for the nomination, Arden. If elected Rookie of the Month I promise free .sigs for everyone! Of course, I’ll do that if I’m not elected too. I’m easy going that way.
Trose - Thank you kindly for the nomination and should I win I promise you can come over and use my toaster oven. Frosted Cherry Pop-Tarts are my personal fave, although I am open to Toaster Pastries as well.
Aw. Well, gypsy chose me, so I guess I’ll have to sponser her. Kindly deposit the chocolate in my mouth and we’ll get going. None of you others had better touch her. No, seriously though.
I’m going to take you to the top, gyspy! Get ready to work your ass off and enjoy it!! Plus I have connections with Jester so it all works out.
Hey!!! I’m new! I’m nice - I’m just quiet and shy. At least I don’t clutter up the board (looks around hopefully for reassurance and acceptance and then quietly slinks away).
Verrain, Francesca, Kamandi, riley diffenbach, and gypsy_gurl Are all in one super, mega, hyper-unnecessary tie with one vote each.
So, the only way that any of yooze is gonna pull ahead is to win over other Dopers, and I’m afraid that that means some serious ass-kissing is in order!
(Though this does bring up the delicate point of what to do in a tie. If such a thing should happen, I’ll be forced to pick the Newbie of the Month myself, from the tied contestants, based on posting merit. Credentials and specifics to follow, unless there’s no need to do so, since I’m lazy)
::bursts into the room wearing whip cream…only whipped cream::
all right guys…start kissing ass (and any other body parts you see fit;))
[sub]oh…you meant me kissing yourass?![/sub]
::throws the whipped cream to the next unbashful higher up in charge of the vote tally::
[sub]hey, if you got it…flaunt it![/sub]
Well, while Peregrine has fine skills (have you met Falcon, BTW?) Gypsy_gurl seems to really be in the usual MSPIMS spirit… do I vote for the skills, or “Miss Congeniality” ?..
Thanks for the mention, Karl (may I call you Karl?) It’s gratifying to have the support of a consistently coherent poster such as yourself. And lurkernomore, my pathological sincerity compels me to advise you to consider spirit above technical ability.
Rather than seek the nomination for myself, I will be glad to endorse Verrain (I know a landslide when I see one,) if SOMEONE will just tell me what a great job I did answering ChiefScott’shasty pudding question. Sure, there’s room for improvement, but I was really pleased with my effort, and I was kind of hoping somebody might actually read it. (Nevermind the award; I just want a lolly-pop. A red one.)
No, seriously though.
