Woo! I won Most Likely to Use Tests to Pad Post Count. I also came in second in Most Mundane in MPSIMS and third in Most Likely to post just to increase post count. I think those are the only categories I got more than 2 votes in. * * * Your Official Cat Goddess since 10/20/99. _SD chat:_ **\** Kat’s here! the board must be down! ---

Zette, I know exactly what you mean about being touched . . . . Thanks to you all. “Best Moderator” (hmm, shall perhaps have to add “Emeritus” to that), and second in Good Citizen, Female. Wow! Thanks. -Melin ---

I think I was only nominated for one category. But, I won it, and I must say I’m truly flattered. 🙂 Adam ---

Somehow, someday, I wish I may, I wish I might, maybe win one o’ these things. Even if it’s bad, like the one that Konrad won. Then again, that would suck, as nothin’ is better than somethin’ bad. Too bad they didn’t have a category called Most likely to put “noonch” in every thread. 😃 * * * how did it start? well i don’t know i just feel the craving. i see the flesh and it smells fresh and it’s just there for the taking… VvvV “Winners never quit and quitters never win, but those who never win and never quit are idiots.” ---

There was a joke made in the “Movies: do bad guys win?” thread about me. I had mentioned the movie _Dr. Strangelove_ and several posts later, someone says, “I can’t believe that no one has mentioned _Dr. Strangelove_.” Someone else then says, “So what is Wendell Wagner? Chopped liver?” I can’t win for losing. I am the shortest male poster. I may be the shortest poster, period. I’m a little under 4’11". I’ve mentioned this fact in at least three posts, so you can’t say that you didn’t know this. For heaven’s sake, OpalCat, you’ve met me at one of the Baltimore/Washington Doper meetings, so you can verify this. Tallest/shortest/oldest/youngest poster is a pretty stupid thing to vote on in any case. The other categories are things that can be determined from posts, but who is the tallest/shortest/oldest/youngest can’t even be guessed at from one’s posts. I’ve always known that people ignored me because I’m short, but this shows that I’m so invisible that I can’t even win a contest in the one category that causes people to ignore me.

Well, I now have the pressure of not going into the well-known “Sophomore Slump” in not one, but 2 separate categories. That’s a lot of pressure. And if I crack, I’m taking every single one of you with me on the fast train to Where Are They Now town. * * * Voted Rookie of the Year in MPSIMs and the Pit, along with Best One-liners. And I don’t plan on keeping this as my sig for long, just until the winning buzz wears off. ---

Well, I didn’t win anything, but I’m just happy as a clam that I even got nominated for something. Much less have anyone vote for me. I expect an email from all four of you who voted for me as “Person you’d most like to date” What? Only one person voted for me, you just voted 4 times? And you live in Latvia? And you’re married? ## Umm. never mind then… …in a state so nonintuitive it can only be called weird… ---

Three beats behind the measure as usual, but I didn’t catch the “Female you most want to meet” thing until Wally keruffled about winning the male counterpart. ::shakes head in total stupefication:: Why do I catch myself fervidly humming godawful versions of that yucky old “Only in America” song…“only on SDMB…whatever, whatever, whatever”.
