Please private message your nominations directly to me.

Two people have voted thus far this month.

...can this be interpreted as disinterest, hmmmm?

I am not qualified to vote in the categories listed. The one I am qualified for, I find no suitable candidates. Which means we all need to work harder here at the tfp to contribute.

Hope everyone has a good, relaxing weekend. I am planning on it...except for all this fucking homework, grrrrr.

I would love to see an award for tilted lit ongoing.

I'm as guilty as anybody for loving the forum but not posting. Maybe there should be award for tilted git, for jackasses like myself.

Shame is our badge. Rye is our bread. because we like it.

I didn't vote. I think that is largely because this thread always appears with only about a week left in the month.. if it was sticky'd for the entire month (like the first one), I think more votes would come in.

So: in the interest of getting more votes for October, what are the categories for next month?

p.s. congratulations, everyone!

Oh snap indeed, will!

Anybody need advice, evidently I'm your man!

I appear to still be carrying the "Tilted Mentor" from two months ago, too... Wonder if that's on purpose.

Willravel

Ratbastid is going to end up having dozens of icons. Don't be so helpful!

dlish

Ratbastid needs to chill...you're making us all look bad. even someone as smooth as sean connery cant compete with bastid himself.

all hail the bastid!

"totally boss?????" Eeeeewwwww .....Can't write, busy gagging up a gigantic loogie for ya.

These contests have turned tfp into a 10th Grade Notebook "game". How Very sad.
Unless you all WANT to appeal to kids in 10th grade.

Just saying...

I've been saying boss for years.
It's just some fun. Look at the entire nonsense section, there's not a lot of deep, mature conversation in there. It's mostly just goofing around, which adults do from time to time. I wrestled my dog when I got home from work today.

kramus

I see an assortment of fine folks have been given some TFP bling
Congrats to both the blinged and the almost-blinged
btw, that is one snazzy lookin' award, Will. But I have to ask - are you wearing pants under that avatar?

Who get's the extra large nickle palted belt buckle with the tfp logo on it?

ps - Since you arm/paw wrestled your dog today Will, you are hereby forgiven. Guess I've been a bit ornery lately. =) BTW, who won?
