Stundie Finals For July - Vote Now!

[Hyperviolet]

It could only be Malcolm Kirkman on the sources of gravity.


From what i've seen - Malcolm Kirkman is actually worse than Stundie.

 

[JonnyFive]

Did everyone else miss the guy saying that the moon is an alien conspiracy!?

Yes, actually, I did miss that. Pity, I would've voted for it if I'd noticed.

So, I take it then that this "William Rea" fella is against the Stundies?

And how!

 

[chipmunk stew]

I was going to give The Poster Formerly Known as Malcolm Kirkman my vote, but there's something about Ed Ward's matter-of-fact summary of his TCN911WIJ theory that I'm particularly fond of.

 

[Rolfe]

Actually, I really like the parking aeroplanes one too. It took real skill to steer that plane right in there and position it so perfectly - right in the hole its own landing gear made on impact!



But I'm afraid it's Malkie for the landslide this month.

Rolfe.

and the sheer subtleness with which he implied that the hole was already there, to be aimed at, made it just so sublime!

But I'm afraid it's Malkie for the landslide this month.

Rolfe.

Alas, yes, it appears the Kirkman Train has left the station. Juggernaut for the Win!

 

[NeoRicen]

I can't believe no.3 isn't getting more votes! Maybe it's too crazy.

 

[Horatius]

It's not that it isn't a good, crazy post, it's just that I think he's plagiarizing it.

 

[Gravy]

I'm sad that it's a runaway. I wonder if the results would be different if Kirkman's quote wasn't first on the list.

 

[slyjoe]

Too many good ones this month.

Malcolm has had so many - gravity, steel, no air at 35000 feet, etc. I thought he was going to be ineligible, and the Stundie would be awarded with another bar or chevron - the additional "Kirkman" or two to reward really outstanding stupidness. Did that idea go away?

 

[negativ]

we can either live free, or live in the reality of die hard 4.

...is pretty hard to top, in my book.

 

[Mobyseven]

A note on this: The finalist are ordered in what I can only call a 'semi-random' way. That is, I don't use a random number generator, or a hard-boiled egg, or the I-Ching to sort finalists. Instead I just rely on the fact that I cut and paste the finalists through so many text document permutations that the result is going to wind up looking quite random.

Efficiency isn't my strong suit.

 

[Hokulele]

Woo hoo Belz..., it looks like we picked a winner!

* High Five *

 

[Pardalis]

Looks like a Malcolm landslide.

Well deserved.

I read all applicants with attention, but Malcolm really wins this one with flying woo colors.

In other news, William Rea will be absent for three days before lecturing again on the inappropriateness of this award.

I had to go with mjd. After all, the circle is a perfect geometric figure, and mjd's reasoning was so perfectly circular, the whole was perfection².

I do have a request to make of our benevolent dictator. If future Stundies nominees are weighted towards sources other than this forum, the OP of the voting thread should include links to the original outside sources. Not being able to read the discussions these fine examples of Stundie-ness were culled from makes me feel like I'm missing out on a lot of amusement.

 

[Tbone]

I hate to jump on a bandwagon, but I already voted for circular logic last month!

 

[Horatius]

That's the wonder of circular logic - it's endlessly recyclable!


It's like the Perpetual Motion of Woo!

Who told you I was benevolent???

For the moment, the 25% rule stays. I really don't think it has had anything of a negative impact on Teh Stundies, as only the best of the JREF forums get through to compete - no worthy finalist is dismissed (unless there are a lot of worthy finalists).

I'll think about your request. In general, my policy has been that the links are available in the nomination thread (and all have been verified by me) and that duplicating them is just unnecessary work on my part. However, if a few other people feel strongly enough I'm certainly happy to include links (more work for me, *sigh*) but to all nominations. I'm not going to only include links to sources outside the JREF forums.

 

[Rolfe]

Well, I sympathise with the work, but it's a good idea. I suspect the bandwagon that is Malkie was partly fuelled by the fact that a lot of people had read that particular bit of insanity in context.

Rolfe.

 

[Alareth]

I hereby abstain from voting in this months Stundies™ in protest over my Moon Hoax nomination not winning in the previous month.

If you need me I'll be over in the corner pouting.

Good Day.
