June and July Stundie Finals

[Travis]

You want the context for the winner from May? It should be in the May nomination thread.

 

[Dog Town]

Actually, what's wrong with the last one? It seems to make sense to me. What ticks the writer off is people who insist that they're right, because they're supporting a just cause. Read like that, I tend to agree!

Rolfe.

You are talking #20. Normally you would, as would nominee, be correct. It was the context of his "argument", that made that funny. I guess you just had to be there.
* cue long drawn out...*

 

[Horatius]

I meant to say - Travis, why won't you name the winner, and include a link to the winning post so we can enjoy it in context?

Rolfe.

While I agree with your interpretation, I think it should stand as an example of how, even if they have a good idea, they can't manage to express it in anything other than a Stundie-like fashion.

Yeah, so I have to find the nomination thread, buried a couple of months by now, then scroll through several pages looking for the relevant entry - OK, I can do this if I want it bad enough, but would it hurt to include the information in the OP?

Rolfe.

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : May

OK, got it. Soul Traveller from the David Icke forum, nominated by Mel Odious.

Why not just include the info and make it easy?

7 and 10 for me.

There was some notion that showing that info made it into an unpopularity contest, rather than a doofus statement contest.

That related to the voting. I'm talking about revealing the who, where, when and in what context once the winner is announced.

Maybe, just maybe, if you paid better attention to the entire process, you would have your desired answer. Instead of asking to be spoon fed. You sound like a Twoofer.

 

[Rolfe]

OK, I'm obviously too stupid to understand that.

Rolfe.

Starting next month I'll do that.

 

[Rolfe]

Hey, a result! Thank you Travis!

Actually, the "unpopularity contest" aspect wasn't the primary rationale for removing quote attributions from the Stundie award and finalists. A while back there was some discussion with the mods that even including names in a Stundie finals thread was a borderline violation of the "attack the argument, not the arguer" forum guideline and that the Stundies might have to be discontinued on that ground. This prompted a suggested compromise that names and any attribution, both for the winner and the finalists, be left out altogether.

Of course, the rule does not strictly apply to Stundies which do not originate with forum members, but enough of them did (and still do) that it was felt advisable to apply this standard generally. So long as the winner is not a forum member, however, I don't think including attribution with the award should run afoul of the mods, though Travis might want to check first to make sure.

 

[triforcharity]

Wait, I don't get it. You can vote for more than one? Or am I just that bad at math?

51 voters (At time of posting) and 146 votes??

It's a conspiracy!! Nobody ever told me that I could vote for more than one!!

Travis must be part of the NWO Voting and Polls Influence Office.

Yeah, I might need to get a mod's okay on that.

 

[Klimax]

11 should be the winner!!!!!11!!!11!

(And I still find it hard how many people can make random combination of 1 and ! - maybe because I don't use US keyboard...)

Rolfe.

Hey c'mon, I used a smilie, and everything. I actually like your idea.
Stupid is never a word, I would use, to describe you Rolfe.

 

[Skeptic Guy]

FYI - starting Sept 1, all NWO porn will be subscription-based. Sorry I had to go that way.

Meh. My back issues of "Molech Gone Wild" will keep me occupied.

 

[CompusMentus]

7's a beaut. 20 also does it for me too. I love those logic brainfarts.

Of course I had to stick one on my own nom #13.
