Nominations Needed for 2011 Hookie Awards

[Darkstone42]

The original I'm Bored seems like a no-brainer as a potential nominee for best thread.

I'll second that. Given that it's got over 35,000 replies, I'd say it qualifies nicely.

I'll have to find the post where someone called out chris for the jackass he is.

Can I nominate the Talbot thread?

Can I nominate the Talbot thread?

That thread goes down in the annals of posting history. Perhaps name the Thread of the Year award the Talbot Thread Award.

Our MC better be paying attention. That's a great idea!

Thread was started in June last year....

I'm Bored Part II then!

One time in a thread about books, our local linesman (Mbhofer?) suggested a book about linesman Ray Scampinello(sp?)

I proceeded to ask..."Is it in Braille?"

Probably the funniest shit I've ever said, imo.


I don't know if I am nominating or just telling a story. Ok, I'm done...

Nommed!

You guys are doing great! Keep it rolling! A bunch of great nominees so far. Also, big ups to Ritari and Beantown on these two new category ideas.

Is it possible a mod could sticky this thread for a few days so people will see it and hopefully throw in their two cents?

If you can't think of any nominees, feel free to roll through some of these great Thread of the Year nominees to find a few for the Post of the Year nominees. Have a feeling that will be harder to find nominees. To make a link to a post:
-Click the # in the far right at the top of the post in the black bar
-Copy the URL after doing that
-Paste it into your thread with the URL tags (the globe with the chain link in front of it)

Figure everyone knows how, but just in case.

Keep 'em coming...

Good point. But yeah, Part II could be used.

 

[naslundfan19]

I'm Bored Part II then!

^This. And the first post in said thread.

 

[elocomotive]

Some more potential nominees for Thread of the Year (maybe some nuggets in there for POTY as well)...

Pizza Time (for thread and post) by Naess

Things you like that are extinct by Mattola

Ridiculous rule changes in Extreme Hockey by Loki (and I'll nominate the OP for Post of the Year also)

Damn it, the last two are too old.

Maybe since this is a new category, we should have no time limit. It might make it easier.

Thread stickied. That should lock up the best mod award for me.
