Here's some others you forgot, catman:

Best Psycho Babbler Award

Biggest Proselytizer Smallest Soul Award

Most Troubled Poster Who Is On Drugs Award

Empty Life Award (especially around holidays)

Racist, Sexist, Bible Thumper of the Year Award

Left Brain, Right Brain, No Brain Poster of the Year

Hey Look At Me I've Got Nothing To Say But I Can Sure Cut And Paste Award

Hey Bubba,

I'll assume you meant that as a compliment although "Most Insight" could be construed as simply me posting a lot. I'll just imagine that you mean "Best Insight". If not, don't tell me.

We'll have to give you the award for "Best Deer Meat" or something like that.

I agree with your selections. JEH will need to post more in 2003 than he did in the last 3 months of 2002 though to keep that title at the end of next year.

Anyway, good set of awards there Bubba.

Yes, Flagpole, award is a good one not bad one. Also Scott Hubbard, just a funny award that goes to someone who posts a lot and sometimes has long posts. (Could it be that you bring more attention to your posts with your name highlighted in blue?)

Well, gotta go for the rest of 2002. Only got a few days left of hunting season!

What about the controversial "hoof whammy" award, who gets the credit? Forgot the names of who actually was vying for the distinguished honor of bringing to this boards attention the infamous "hoof whammy"!!??!!:)

Coop brought up the Hoof Whammy.

Hedge took it and ran with it all the while giving credit to Coop, but the perceived notion that Hedge came up with it still existed through no fault of Hedge's.

Somebody better award me "Most Stable Minded" before I freakin' lose it.

SO I guess in all fairness they should split the award, split hoof?!? each get a half? Coop for bringing it and hedge for promoting it into our general consciousness?!!?

I see lots of proposed categories, but very few votes. LET SEE SOME VOTES:

Best Posts content-wise: Martin

Most Insane: Jason

Most Redundant: Dunes Runner, wttb

Most "out-there": Legalizit (and his other names)

Best Controversial Thread-starter: whoever started "Republican or Democrat" thread

Funniest: Mr Chest. It was a joke people, it was funny as hell. AND, he had some good points. We runners are skinny wimps on the average! Deal with it.

Most unrelenting: Molfin. He battled Dunes Runner for days tooth and nail, posting link after link to every article ever printed on OY?s FAILED drug test. And no matter how many times Dunes Runner repeated his ?OY clean, PR dirty!!? mantra, Molfin came back to refute him. It was quite a display of determination.

I never found anything JEH had to say particularly thought provoking. He was OK. Maybe I am wrong. But I thought Jason was loser from day 1, even though he made me laugh once in awhile (at him mostly). So I got that one right, even when ¾ of the board was defending him. Whaddya think of him now?

as a recent reader of the site, what is the hoof whammy?

most sucking goes to catman and ah

Nearest comprehension I had of a hoof whammy was it was a sexual reference or involving midgets etc... It was also linked as an athletic injury to a runner, or the cause of injury???? My first mental picture of the Hoof whammy was of a sexual position where the female in the throes of passion either heel kicks the male in the back of their hamstrings, thus giving them a major charlie horse with their heels, to both Hammies or to the calves??!!?? but I then read something about midgets and some other aspects??!!??

Dumbest, WORST poster: catman

With regard to Hoof Whammies, there are always 5 people involved. Many (like Portland Runner) sometimes forget and think of it as only taking 3 people, but they neglect to remember the midget and the woman on the swing - lesser parts they play, but integral to the classic Hoof Whammy. If you've got a party of three and you want to do a Hoof Whammy, you really can't. You can do the majority of the business end of a Hoof Whammy with three people, but you can't call it a Hoof Whammy. With three people only, you can call it any of the following:

1) Three Five (as in 3/5 of a Hoof Whammy)

2) 60 (as in 60% of a Hoof Whammy)

3) Tripod (this is common nomenclature on the East Coast)

4) HW minus 2

5) A Three On

Democrat,

You were right on about Jason from the beginning - good job there - he had me snowed. I was on his side initially until his latest absurd rantings. He can still climb out of the hole he dug for himself in my opinion, but it will take time. I'm still willing to give him a chance to come back from the brink even though he called me a PUSSY. I would head to the Olympic Trials to tell him what I think of him, but I'm afraid he'd grab the loop on the back of my shirt and say "Fag Tag!" or put a "Kick Me" sign on my back. Right now I am so far off the Jason bandwagon I can't even see it.

As far as JEH goes, I'll have to agree with Bubba. When JEH posts, it's usually pretty good, although I'll say he is an acquired taste, and like I said before, his frequency has dropped off a bit and he needs to up it to retain his rightful throne as MVP.

I forgot to say that there is a movement to call a three-person Hoof Whammy a Hoof Whammy, but it certainly is NOT one. I do fear though that this will go the way of the word "anxious" which is now acceptable to mean "eager" when initially it was just a word for "worried". Those Webster people bowed down to improper usage and made it so. I hate them to the core.

We runners are skinny wimps on the average! Deal with it.

Speak in the first-person for now on, Democrat. Nobody cares about your ignorant rambling.
