The 2015 Poser of the Year Contest

Re: The 2015 Poser of the Year Contest

Unless the rules have changed, Priceless is eligible if he posted at any time in 2015. :p

Priceless doesn't even have a listed account, so no idea on the post count. The committee released the following response to your petition:

"Ecky ecky ecky pa-KANG, zoom poing!"

He's in the top hundred, don't worry.

You guys understand that the Poser of the Year is more akin to the Razzies than the Oscars, right? Winning it generally holds a very dubious distinction.

Bad publicity is still publicity. People have been bashing Chick-Fil-A's stance on political issues for years, and yet their restaurant chain is more popular than ever.

No, it's ambiguous. When Ralph won it it was because everybody loves Ralph. When dtp won it...

I for one would love to win. Other people would hate it.

Part of the fun of getting votes is trying to figure out whether you're getting likes or catcalls. :-)

When Ralph "won", people didn't understand what they were doing. Either that, or they got wind of his "campaigning" the year before. ;)

By definition, the award is what the voters say it is. Nobody has a privileged viewpoint. If and when Drumpf wins the presidency he will, by definition, be "presidential." And may FSM have mercy on our souls. :p

Sadly, this is true. It USED to be a badge of shame. It becomes more and more a popularity contest year after year. :(

Considering Flag has made the final 3 out of 4 years, there's still plenty of shame involved. :-)

It's ambiguous; embrace it!

I think what's really happened is it's no longer a private party for a few schools' fans' in-jokes... :cool:

and the shameless are the only ones actively campaigning for it, eh? :(


Still is a badge of shame, in a way (ralph being the sole exception as others campaigned for him as a subversive ploy).

Funny thing is, in that other year, I came in third. :eek:

I don't see anything weird about this at all.

My standard is, "you have made an interesting contribution." It might be good or bad. Y'all know who you are. :-)

Somebody could post a hundred times a day but say nothing -- no vote. Somebody could post once a month and deliver a Platonic ideal of wisdom (or idiocy) -- oh hell yeah, they get a vote.

mookie never campaigned, he just increased his posting frequency with his normal stuff. :D

Likewise Jon never campaigned either. Almington took it on himself to spread the good word instead.

Only real "campaigner" I remember, in the short time I've been on this forum (at least compared to others), is Dude Love.

Easy enough to test. If you vote for yourself you're campaigning. Like I said, I do. It's the Greatest Dubious Honor there is. :-)

I have no idea what mookie's doing the other 11 months of the year, so I can't judge whether his annual Spring Fling is a campaign or just the call of the wild.
