Nominations for the 2009 Cuffies

[wuapinmon]

Stung by Wuap's gentle rebuke, I've added "Best Sports Post" to the list of categories. Feel free to make nominations in only one category, or as many as you'd like. As this thread has demonstrated, one could come up with a much lengthier list of worthy categories, but for several reasons (all of them compelling, honest) we'll keep the list short. And nominations will remain open through Wednesday, May 13.


MVP
Rookie of the Year
Wittiest Poster
Best Performance in a Gentile Role (this could be for a single post, or for a body of work)

Best Post in the Foyer

you have a posse?

[wuapinmon]

you have a posse?

In effect.

[Babs]

In effect.

lebowski, is "oh, brother" trademarked?

[Jeff Lebowski]

lebowski, is "oh, brother" trademarked?

Yes, but I give you permission to use it.

[wuapinmon]

lebowski, is "oh, brother" trademarked?

That's a legitimate Beastie Boys reference (tone Loc too, especially since they both worked with the Dust Brothers).

Of course I have no posse. It's just three-a M.a.c.s and we're ready to go: wuapinmon, Mesach, and Abednego.

Oh, sister!

come on, people now.

[UtahDan]

I'll also throw in Lebowski for MVP.

[Babs]

I'll also throw in Lebowski for MVP.

That was going to be my suggestion, too.

OK, I already sent this to PAC, but here is a list of my non-poster nominations. I made a folder in my bookmarks and occasionally I would mark a post or thread for a potential CUFFIE nomination. There are lots of great ones that I missed, but here are some I happened to mark down.

I'm not sure what the categories ended up being, but I'd put Solon's thing on "theodicy and suffering" up for best religion thread.

[DrumNFeather]

How about a best recruiter? That might be the only one I could win...I mean, if JIC wins ROY I should win something right?

[YOhio]

I'm not sure what the categories ended up being, but I'd put Solon's thing on "theodicy and suffering" up for best religion thread.

Solon won Best Gentile last year and I hope he does again.

[Jarid in Cedar]

I'd nominate this as Wittiest post

Please include my reply (just so people realize Pac's thread didn't have the desired intimidating effect, despite his playing the ultimate game of brinksmanship (at least in his mind)):

You have me figured wrong, my friend. I'm truly indifferent. I haven't taken steps to formally split the sheets for the exact same reason I think undbelievers should say BFD about BFTD.
