The 2009 WIWPies are around the corner

[Politburo]

Don't miss out. The Politburo has met and the ballots are bring compiled by a representative of Price Waterhouse.

Stay tuned for the results.

 

[Scott Kraft]

When's the Award's Jeebus?

 

[Dan McQ]

As long as the winners are all Coad characters, no recount will be necessary.

 

[Thor]

Surely a one-off award for Special Achievement in Dudgeoned Post-Work Posting has to go to Levi Dalton.

 

[Levi Dalton]

Wow. Quite the downgrade.

It wasn't so long ago that I was up for the real, genuine WIWP Awards Package, after the Singular Wines thread and the SERIOUS Beaujolais thread.

Joe Perry alone submitted 10 votes in the affirmative.

Guess I just don't bring it like I used to.

 

[Chris Coad]

Things were better in the old days.

Where's Callahan when we need him?

I take back my vote for Oswaldo - philosophy and latin together are too volatile.

La donna mobile!

Ah phooey, that's just vulgar Latin.

Why should I care that someone named Gloria Mundi got sick on the subway?

 

[Thor]

Who replaced Prof. Loesberg with... *gasp* ...me?

You should care because she is the daughter of Rex Mundi, reviled by the Cathar heretics, against whom the Albigensian crusade was unleashed. So, there!

Another obscure Christian heresy exterminated by the Christian heresy that won. I'm supposed to care about who has the best invisible friend?

 

[Unknown]

A toss up between Elwood Dowd and Big Bird.

 

[Thor]

I'm guessing the "invisible friend" thing will go better over here than it did on eBob.

 

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

Huh?

 

[Thor]

Oh, I'm not going to link to it. It was the usual stuff. You could write it in your sleep if you've seen it before, assuming you were sufficiently sloshed.

I didn't know that happened on ebob. I'm pretty sure I didn't do it, though I know I stole it from somewhere and somebody else could have stolen it from there too. I've always thought it was a good line.

 

[Thor]

You weren't responsible, no.
