Seriously, they're just trying to do something fun. If it proves to have no benefit, I'm sure it will disappear.

A Strict Non Winner
 

Hello,

First, I'm new to this forum and I'm not sure what the difference is between the "Post Reply" option and "Quick Reply". I think that "Quick Reply" might mean I have to type hurriedly, so I have gone with "Post Reply" for this post.

Anyway, I find this notion of awards interesting. Coincidentally, I had a discussion with coworkers just yesterday about awards and I have come to the conclusion that I am one of the few people on earth who has never won a thing. Back when I was a kid our local city recreation department had a day of athletic competition. It was the regular stuff, 100 yard dash, baseball throw, high jump. They had a lot of categories so every kid had about a 95% chance of winning one competition or another. There was a category for kids under four feet tall. One category for kids with a stigmatism. There was a category for kids who stuttered. Etc. I finished last or near it in every competition. Then I went and complained about the refereeing and lost the award that traditionally goes to the biggest loser, the Sportsmanship Award.
I graduated from high school 351st in a class of 359. (I tell people I gradutated in the top 98% in my class.) So I never won anything for my academic abilities. In my youth I never won a teacher-sanctioned foursquare or dodgeball competition, never a classroom spelling bee.
As an adult I've never won anything either. No silly bowling or golf trophy, trophies usually won because your teammates are good. I'm awardless at my place of employment. Never an "employee of the month" or an attendance award. My coworkers are amazed that I have never won a single award or honor for anything, that I'm lifetime-0. True though.
Certainly there has been someone else on the planet who has never received any honor of any kind. I've never found him however. He probably died at an early age.

Oooo, if we can through mini-guns on the prize list, I recommend the General Electric GAU-17

I was given to understand that there would be punch and pie.

More people will come if they think we have punch and pie.

The Enrichment Center is required to remind you that you will be baked, and then there will be cake.

Sadly, you most likely won't win anything here, either. But at least that will maintain some consistency in your life. You can take solace in that, I'm sure.
Oh, and welcome.

Ooooh, ooooh, pick me! I wanna get baked! Who's with me? :lol:
I see nothing wrong with this idea. The Whiney Heinies need to shush.
Except maybe Abaya. Cause I like her and the TFP bumper sticker thing was kinda funny.

I haven't been baked in a loooong time.

It's about time.

The cake is a lie!

But the Weighted Companion Cube isn't. It's true love!

so, is there any awards for me or not?

So, who is jumping out of the cake?

Awwwww!! :shy: Thanks, Fred! Glad to know that someone appreciated my cynical sense of humor... ;) Well, I'm just curious to see how this whole thing turns out... if it's all just for fun, and the awards are not really serious (e.g. they don't reflect actual character judgments), then I guess I won't have a problem with it.

when is the big announcement of the winners going to take place?

Um, ........what do ya hafta do to win one of the dwarfs???

wait...there are dwarves involved?
now i'm even more interested....

I went to a bulemics party once.

The highlight of the night was when the cake jumped out of the girl.

[Did I ever mention that as a child I wanted to grow up to be Fozzy Bear?]

Even Fozzy is surprised at that joke.

Just a reminder that we would love more nominations. We can figure it out on our own, but it doesn't hurt to have your input :p

aww dude...............resist the urge..............don't do it..........:no:




i'm with you noodly............i wanna get baked too.:thumbsup:

It's been a few months. Has the idea been scrapped?

we're not worthy or awards, tis reality. :p

Speak for yourself. I was born for awards.

I was born to be an organ donor for my older brother, but I killed that bastard so they decided to keep me... go fig

You should get an award for that.

I want to win a booby prize.

I nominate Galileo for the Consistency Award

THEY MAY LOCK MY THREAD, BUT THEY'LL NEVER CONTAIN MY LOVE FOR YOU HAMBURGER GUY!

I shower with accolades evey morning.

Gets pretty steamy.
