[Redfokker]

...this contest is "RIGGED!"

Hence 2016! Only one more day left of the worst year in recent history!

 

[Bob Roberts]

Best hat year in recent history.

 

[Frunobulax]

I think a nominee shouldn't vote...

That woudn't leave anybody. Almost everybody seems to be nominated for something!

Really? Thought it was some 400 pound hat wearer laying in his bed somewhere.

Dude. I'm only ~235#. I work out regularly.

Lol. You appear thinner...
I think what Joao meant was that a nominee shouldn't vote in the specific catagory they were nominated for.
But I think you knew that.

Well, if I were running for office, I'd vote for myself! Otherwise, I wouldn't get any votes!

I say vote. Vote like the wind!!!

Can I absentee vote for your Stetsonian if the polls close before I can figure out how to cast my ballot?

No offense to any other nominees, I think I've just asked more questions of him than the others. This was the toughest one to choose.

He always seems to be somewhere cool with his brood having fun. I'm looking at it more from a kid's point of view.

Well, there ya go. I found it to be way easier to vote for hats or collections than to choose between people.

I only vote on those.
The other categories are either a tie or not enough knowledge about it.

Can I vote for my missus? She's not a forum member, but I do think that she might be in with a chance for best loud shirt award.

 

[Redfokker]

This is hard. Brain hurts...

Happy New Year to everyone. Congratulations to everyone. I didn't vote in any categories because I've been told Political activity, on this forum can get a person jammed up.
I know this was different, but not by far.
I respect everyone enough out there, as to not want anyone to take any offence.
Everyone who makes a product from the most experienced to the least experienced. I applaud you. Hats.....leather....jewelry....painting. ...carving....pipe making...pen makers and restorarion work just to name a few. There are and will always be good Artisans here.
In closing, I am just glad to have a talent and I feel good about that,. I say good luck to all in their life endevors as artists.

 

[belfastboy]
