We’ll get to that. First some American Idol-type folderol.
This contest proved tougher than we thought. Titles applicable to a category tended to be predictable - puns, in-jokes, etc.; only “banned” seemed to inspire much above the ordinary. Suggestions for a new name for “charter member” unfortunately were competing in my mind with the tough-to-beat “Chosen One,” which Eutychus came up with a while back. User-specific titles were better, on the whole - those that tickled me, I found, had a random, deadpan quality. I’ve formatted the titles more or less as they would appear - the submitting party is given as the username, except where noted parenthetically below. In a few cases I’ve edited the original slightly:

SDMB user sturmhauke suffers ironic fate by Lynn Bodoni, Fist of Justice
After winning the StDNUT contest, in which sturmhauke suggested the title “dismembered” for banned users, he began to exhibit increasingly bizzare and hostile behavior on the boards. He even went so far as to call all the mods, admins, and Cecil himself “a bunch of [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted]ing, [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted]ers, with [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted]s. You all [expletive deleted]!” Thus sturmhauke has now earned his own title.
I shall do my best not to earn my own title. My only problem now is where to put all my new books…
Yay!
That’s all I gotta say right now!
Yay!
I don’t think I’ve won anything since that Sleeping Beauty Coloring book in Kindergarten. Oh, and $30 in bowling…annnnnnnd $500 on a scratch off lottery ticket and a bunch of retarded bridal shower/baby shower games, but ***THIS *** took talent and luck.
Two things I am usually severly lacking.
I mean, I was up against the best of the best…[cue theme to Top Gun]
What this really means is the rest of you who entered really sucked.
I mean that in a good way.

No, your only problem is figgure out how to incoperate a 30 foot tall Brazen monkeymule statue into your front lawn. Also, the statue should be reading from the great book of Simian-Equines.
