Title: January Contest Part II (nominations)
Post by: dystopia on January 10, 2008, 05:36:03 PM
OK, let's move on to the nomination portion of this contest.  There are too many entries in the other thread, so we'll have to narrow them down for a poll.

Each person can nominate one entry from the "Best Speculative..." thread:
http://www.golfhos.com/topic-6028.html


Rules:
- Quote, copy or repost your favorite picture/entry below
- You can nominate something you entered or nominate someone else's to win
- You can only add one nomination
- a person can be nominated multiple times and have multiple entries if submitted by someone else


When the nominations are finished, I'll post a poll and we can vote for a winner.

Because we always have to wait for it.  It's never ready on time.

Too hard for me to pick one, having just gone through them again.  I have to nominate Stroh for a lifetime achievement / body of work award, though.

Can you actually nominate yourself? And I don't mean that as a euphemism.

Thanks, but quantity over quality shouldn't win.  I saw some pretty good ones in there.

Is Fuzzy as boring as that *fudge*er, because if he is, this has to be the winner.

Looks like we may as well call it, due to lack of interest. I move we declare stroh the de facto winner. Crown his ass.

Screw stroh.  What's he ever done for us?

I'm going to look up de facto.  It better not mean what I think it means.

Screw stroh.  What's he ever done for us?
XERXES: The aqueduct?
REG: What?
XERXES: The aqueduct.
REG: Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that's true. Yeah.
COMMANDO #3: And the sanitation.
LORETTA: Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?
REG: Yeah. All right. I'll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done.
MATTHIAS: And the roads.
REG: Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don't they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads--
COMMANDO: Irrigation.
XERXES: Medicine.
COMMANDOS: Huh? Heh? Huh...
COMMANDO #2: Education.
COMMANDOS: Ohh...
REG: Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.
COMMANDO #1: And the wine.
COMMANDOS: Oh, yes. Yeah...
FRANCIS: Yeah. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the Romans left. Huh.
COMMANDO: Public baths.
LORETTA: And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg.
FRANCIS: Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let's face it. They're the only ones who could in a place like this.
COMMANDOS: [laugh]
REG: All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Congrats, stroh!

 [sm_thankyou]  I would like to drag it out some.

Thank you dystopia for the generosity.  Thanks to those who voted me the winner.  Even if it was by ad nauseum, or whatever spacey said.

dys., I would kind of like to philanthrophize it.  I have an idea, but would be interested in hearing others input on how to share it.

If it's not too big of a PITA.

I *goshdarn* love PITAs. What's the idea? Whatever. I'm on board. Or not. Whatever. Has anyone seen my beer? *fudge* you. You think you're better than me?

Of course, those 25 ducats won't even cover the cost of the credit report for your new home loan.  ;D

Sometimes you just gotta say "What the *fudge*?" and make your move.  I say put the money towards this:
