Vote for me!

I've been nominated for the JREF forum language award before, but this is the first time I've made it to the final.

Who wants to make all my birthdays and Christmasses at once by helping me to win? Pleeez?

I promise all voters that if I win I will abolish psychics and give free milk to schoolchildren.

How much will be going to the UKS fund if you win?

Not that I'm blackmailing you or anything! :liar:

Exactly 50% of the nothing that I get for winning.

But 100% of the kudos, baby!

[Admin]

Well I've just gave you one - Oooerrrr - and you're currently in the lead :D

This is a bit like the Eurovision Song Contest voting, isn't it? ;) ;D

[Admin]

None of my postings were in there. :'(

I couldn't write like that in a million years :-\

I think language ability is a gift - and I don't have it. >:(

It took me 3 attempts to get english language 'O' level ???

[Lord Muck oGentry]

And another one...

The bookies won't give me a price. Looking good, tk!

[Mojo]

...and give free milk to schoolchildren. I remember the free milk. Ugh! Warm and greasy.

Voted for you anyway.

[Admin]

Hang on...

There's a late entry from one John Jackson ???

Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle...Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle...Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle...NEWcastlllllllle.

A work of genius, even if I say so myself. 8)

I'm particularly impressed with the rhyming throughout the piece. Faultless.

[tkingdoll]

Yay! Thanks everyone!

I usually just get nominated for silly stuff like 'flaps', so I never make the final. I'm glad I actually got there for something I thought was worth it, even if it is a silly post.

The irony of me parodying addiction is that I've never even been drunk!

[Hazen]

Done.

And entirely worthy too.


Go Teek!

[tkingdoll]

Done.

Eeeh, I think you re-nominated the post instead of voting for it! The vote is the poll at the top of this thread: http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=58034

But thanks anyway!! :D

Teek

Another vote coming your way ;)

It took me three times to check if I was pressing the right button, mind. :-\

I used to be like that when checking if the front door was closed when I left the house. :-[

Never has the thing with obsessively washing the hands though ???

I think it was just a phase, though :)

I think it....oh bugger! ;D

[Dr B]

Teek - vote is cast, now what should I request in return......ooohh the power..... 8)

Now that i have voted for you - what are your views of east - west financial intergration as either a cause or effect of current market instability with particular reference to pork belly sales?

Well Teekipoohs - did you win? ???

Or is it still going on?

[tkingdoll]

The voting is open for another few weeks yet :(

I want to win!

Competitive, me?

Yep I voted too, but I do like the way that John's piece builds, pure genius, even if I do not agree with the content

I had my luch in Newcastle today, Mcdonalds at Westerhope, just of the A1. Then paid a visit to The Freeman.

[Admin]

A visit to the Freeman (a hospital) is standard procedure after eating a McDonalds :-X ;D

I was even visiting Pathology :(

Good planning or pessimism ;D

Congrats to Tkingdoll on being awarded the highly coveted TLA.
Just don't mention asparagus tips.

Also of highly worthy note was Nucular's Omniology piece:

Wow...

- "Occupation?"
- "Omniologist."
- "What?"
- "Omniologist. A practitioner of omniology."
- "What?"
- "Omniology. The study of, you know, everything."
- "Everything? What, you mean like, everything?"
- "Yup. Everything. Specialising in omniology."
- "So you study everything, and you specialise in the study of everything?"
- "Yes."
- "So... You wanna hear my life story?"
- "No, why?"
- "'Cos you study everything, I thought..."
- "No, no, not EVERYTHING. Well, not you."
- "Oh. Well what other things don't you study?"
- "Well you know, we study everything in the wider sense. Like the universe, and everything in it."
- "I'm in it..."
- "No, like where we came from, that kind of thing."
- "I came from -"
- "No, I mean humanity's origins, and the world."
- "Right. So you're like a scientist?"
- "Yes!"
- "Okay, I'll just put 'scientist'."
- "No, put 'omniologist'. I'm not a normal scientist. Actually, we omniologists disagree with a lot of what science says."
- "What, are you animal rights people?"
- "No... well, yes, but, um, in the wider sense. We think scientists have a monopoly on thought and academia, and we want to free people from that."
- "From thought and academia?"
- "No, from scientists! We're academic freedom fighters."
- "You're not a suicide bomber are you?"
- "No, no, they're just religious nuts! We're... um..."
- "Right, right."
- "Right."
- "Shall I just put 'unemployed'?"
- "Yes."

Thank you, thank you. Yes, folks, it's true. You are now talking to a decorated member of the super elite, a card carrying Language Award winner.

Here is a link to my long acceptance speech, proving that I won through popularity and not writing merit after all!
