His opening post was from an article. Do you have a specific post of his in that thread that you are nominating?
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

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

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Only 5 days remaining in the contest and it appears there is little interest, only 4 nominations thus far. It only takes one post to win! Read my original post, look at the example I referred to, spend a few minutes writing a thought provoking and high caliber post, and nominate the post right here.

Wow thanks Immanuel!
I had actually forgotten about that contest and was aggravated and decided to write it always makes me feel better.

I propose my own post "Where was Dick Cheney at 9:30 on 9/11/2001?"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 suppose fantasy and fiction could qualify.

Officially entered.
Now hold your breath and see if this well written pile of dog shit has a chance of winning anything other than my disdain.
