Annual Smithee Awards

Parabeagle · May 2004

I just read the fascinating thread on dredlocks and braids in the other forum where I really should spend more time but don't. In any event, it inspired me. I propose that the Dredlocks/Braids thread has surpassed the Confederate Flag thread as Best Cyberdiscussion. Confederate Flag gets demoted to Best Supporting Cyberdiscussion. Other nominees for the proposed annual Smithee Awards could include Haiku, etc.

I really think M. Lee Smith Publishers (hereinafter MLSP) should consider having an annual Forum Awards presentation in which the writers of those threads with the most redeeming social value (or those with no redeeming social value) receive a free subscription. What do you say, James, et al.?

I nominate steel/alum boy for the "how many people can you piss off award."

Not so fast. CMC seems to be trying awful hard. Let's give her a chance.

smaces_twin · May 2004

Point taken. At least she has something to apsire to.

Why not select a totally unbiased, decidedly fair, upstanding, disinterested person of impeccable character be found to judge. Like Ray. x:D

(edit) And for the 'Scam Me Award', based on the recent thread about giving spare change to bums, I nominate Marc for the first annual T-Shirt that says "Scam Me - I'm Easy".

Don, I have always said you are an excellent judge of character. And as always, you got this one right, too. But, I think Beagle should be on the panel too. He could play the part of that Cowell (or whatever his name is) from American Idol. I would be the nice judge sending out positive vibes and Beagle the in-your-face evil judge.

Ray, was that another "evil twin" crack? If so, I think I take umbrage. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to take umbrage, or if I'm even using it properly or spelling it right (I've been teaching for the last three days) but I think I take it. x;-)

You may also be in a state of high dudgeon.

Ouch, the truth hurts.

Para,

Great suggestion. We'll take it under advisement.

Thanks, Brad. Shades of "Die Hard" where Bruce Willis begs Alan Rickman not to hit the police vehicle with a rocket again - Rickman's response, "We'll take it under advisement. Hit it again!"

I love Alan Rickman. My favorite quote of his is from Dogma when he says "I think the little stoner's got a point!" x;)
