2006 SJ.COM AWARDS -- Nominations due by Christmas

Can I join too?

I like to think of myself as the US soccer team. Capable of being very good under the right circumstances but nowhere close to competing with the upper echelon, but totally ignored by most people.

 

Darn. Doesn't appear to be any way to work The Big Lead into any of this action. Looks like fun.

 

I'd like to nominate myself for newbie of the year. I'm going to be like the crazy nutjobs that file to run for city council every few years who claim that they have been foretold of the coming apocolypse of meteors, earthquakes and tidal waves and will stop the government from coming to take your guns and land away. I will not contribute to the board in any meaningful manner, nor will I do any campaigning, but when the meteors, earthquakes and tidal waves come, and the black helicopters are flying over your house, you will know you should have voted for me... ;D

 

"Here's where I stand on the issues: I'm glad that drunk driving is illegal. When I am drunk, I drive like crap. I propose that for scientific testing purposes, we breed a type of midget even smaller than the normal midget. We can call them Shetland Midgets."

 

Carrie ... we have a challenge. Now you need to support me.

(Plus I think you're the most beautiful, sexiest, intelligent poster SportsJournalists.com has. )

 

But the few fans I have are really, really dedicated.

 

Because it really does.

 

I just wasted five minutes searching for it, but the thread of the year is a seemingly harmless grilling thread (started by leo1, I believe) that our Top Chefs soon turned into a pissing match over technique. Somebody must have killed it.

 

Was the thread about cooking techniques or sexual techniques?

 

The grilling thread was a good one. Lots of out-of-the-blue name-calling and attacks.

 

And what were you were expecting? The second-coming of the Lincoln-Douglas debates?
