End Of The Year Awards !!!

[Bigger Don]

In deference to the science uber alles folks, if it ain't in my conscientatiousness it just ain't there.

Now, we can also have a big to-do over the necessity of "cromulent" and the superciliated "embiggen". Of course, keeping with Christmas tradition, the hullaballoo must be big enough to ruin this Christmas and the memory must ruin Christmases of the future.

 

[RJR]

I'll post the winners in flashing neon in hopes of inducing seizures. [emoji4]


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

 

[moehawk]

I thought "Embiggen" was the first nane that the makers of "Extenze" wanted to use...

Bob who? Are these ballots secret...?

Bob who? Are these ballots secret...?

I hadn't considered secrecy. I guess you could message me your ballot if you fear retaliation from other members for not voting for them - Bob. [emoji1]


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

 

[Bigger Don]

What are the rules on multiple ballots, changing votes, recounts, recalls etc etc etc? who will be the poll watchers? Will there be donuts?

 

[mayserwegener]

I would like to thank OfCourseMyHorse for finding some great antique hats!

Also my personal favorite find of 2016 was this hat.

Right click and choose "copy" from the menu window
Right click in the reply window at the bottom, choose "paste."
Just delete everything but the name you want to keep.
