Damn fine post. Very hard to defeat well done humor. Cool points to the poster and I second Miss K's nomination.

HAIL YEAH!

You wrote all those findings of fact?

Yep, read the first three posts. One of em actually has a disclaimer just in case the men in black were monitoring it y'know? The links of course are not written by me, instead they support the facts. The format is also explained in one of the first two posts I think.

I was hoping it would foster more of a discussion, guess I was preaching to the choir. Over at USMB I posted it and really, really, really, ticked off someone from Maine. Even though I disallowed one of the facts because he disputed the interpretation of the link, there was sufficiet number of facts pointing to the opinon that it stood.

Check it out, I think it is in the archives.

Sorry Yurt, I change my vote. This is that good!

Don't need to do that love...... (I don't think my post is allowed as it is over the two week time limit) I was just throwing a temper tantrum about having to actually sit down and work for the prize. But I love the thought.

And, I didn't notice a limit to nominations by one person either.

I mean if there is only one judge, shouldn't we really make him work for it with a lot of worthy stuff eh?

Happy Thanksgiving

I was going to nominate this one as well. Very well done.

Since it is original, I see no problem with it, though it is Jim's call.

It's no fun nominating yourself

His opening post was from an article. Do you have a specific post of his in that thread that you are nominating?

[darin]

another - not quite spikesmygod - but it's to the point, and right-on. Worthy of consideration, IMO:

That's right, win $25 for simply doing what you already do - post!

The catch is, there will only be one winner, and that winner must present the best post in a 2 week time frame. One liners, flaming & cut-n-paste won't win this one. I'm looking for a post that is completely written by one of our members, intelligently, thought provoking and leaves the reader feeling like they truly benefited. Think of "spikesmygod" when posting, although his content or political leaning has no bearing. He spent a great deal of time making one single post that would get great reviews each and every time. If you're unfamiliar with his posts, do a search on his name as a few members have reposted a few of his articles in his honor and remembrance.

The content doesn't matter, it can be political, sports, comedy, chat, a movie review... What counts is the quality of the post.

If you see a post starting posted after this begins, and you want to nominate it, post a link to it in this thread.

If you write a post and want to be considered, post a link in this thread.

I will be the sole judge, so all members are available to participate. I will be 100% impartial, which is why I clearly state it need not be about politics, although of course they will count as well.

A winner will be declared on Monday, December 3rd at 8pm. Winner will receive $25 via Paypal. Remember, it's not a hard contest, just one good post can take it!

A special thanks to an "anonymous" member for not only helping with the idea, but sponsoring the contest and winning funds as well.

I propose my own post "Where was Dick Cheney at 9:30 on 9/11/2001?"

I suppose fantasy and fiction could qualify.
