Nominations received thus far:

Individual Post of the Year
mikeh for "Expert Thought Processes" (I haven't tracked down the link to this one, anyone have it?)
hrothgar for "Sneeches"



At the risk of screwing up the link, I think the post someone was kind ehough to nominate is #28 on this thread:http://www.bridgebas...+%2Bfilth_st_20

I think the votes for every category should have a "None of the above" option - if there is no good candidate for an award, we should skip it for this year.

For best newcomer I would think SimonFa and Statto are worth nominations. Simon because of well thought out B/I posts and an excellent manner and Statto because he only joined in December but still managed to make a positive impression.

Thanks, appreciate the mention; I've managed to make 80 posts without saying anything completely daft, but I think the other candidates are stronger :)

Most of my +1 votes seem to have come from

Best Signature
no nominations yet!

I like the 1st 2 quotes on MrAce's sig, perhaps drawn to them because of the size of the pic (previously nice pic of truck, but filled up the whole screen, now large for another reason, tho perhaps a bit un-PC [aside: I don't want an argument about PC, please don't go there]) ;)

Scanning thru this thread alone for other nominees: Free, jillybean, SimonFa, Lurpoa. So that's 5 for you. There must be more, as I'm sure I've seen others with good one-liners... B-)

I'd like to nominate chudecek as newcomer of the year. Yes, he "joined" in 2007, but I'm pretty sure his first post ever was in 2011, and I think that is what should count.

Someone is going to register the username "noneoftheabove" and completely dominate next year.
