I'm gonna win the best legoman this time. The only reason for this is that I'm the only one who still has one Also, I think we should add a "Most Gorgues Lad" award.
This award has been suggested by someone...banned people would also be able to win it.. The Most Likely To Piss People Off Award Sponsored by Chris Evans
haha, wonder who that might be aye aye Forumer whose the most devotion to making a complete twat out of themselves? and the member with the least tact - although i think we know the persons got it in the bag
Ooooh wow thats brings back a few memories and a few old names (some of them i dont actually remember :S) I didnt get one nomination poooy then again i had only just joined and not many poeple did know me back then hehe i remember sitting there and thinking when it was going on "this is a bit cliquey.... i'll never make friends here they all know each other" .... but i decided to stick it out and see if i did.... ...i'm still sticking it out... so if anyone ever decides they need a new friend.... i've been waiting a few years i think most of those awards would work now Parhaps... most purple?? *giggle* nah umm how about.... Best forum gathering memory?
wow...now that takes me back a bit..that was just after id left for a while-hence the nomination! wish half of those poeple were still around..... i was reading the original hipbrother the other day, oh the mammories-i mean memories good idea-i think the topics are still relevent this time too! N x
I think I can give you a run for your money. I've got a crate of legos in my home right now. Used to build lego scenes taking up half of my room, including a scene from the apocalypse, a Christmas village (the houses actually lit up), castle seige, working transformers, and an 18 inch tall Superman (which I entered into a Lego competition when I was 8 years old. Didn't win) How about you?
That's cool, but the best legoman refers to the legomen we all used to have in our sigs I found mine and I'm using it as my sig again, and I think I'm one of the only ones. So I'm a dead cert for it Damn, I started that trend...I was cool for a while. Whatever happened to make me so square?
I don't know, but I'm sure there was a "best spliff roller" award. I think you and Bokonon were joint first.
Aw those were the days! Best day of my life being crowned Queen Geek... I honestly think I must have nominated myself for the musician award, I think only one or two people have ever actually heard me sing from the forums! And I think I paid someone for the Big Sis nomination. Where the hell is the darling Kelso???? I haven't spoken to him for months now! And we proved you all wrong by never becoming a couple so HA! I think you should invent a new award for me this year - Person Least Likely To Win An Award. (They had to make this award up for me in primary school for sports day, as I came last in everything I ever did, and to stop me crying, they gave me a gold star ) Kat, can I have a gold star please, or I'll cry.
I remember the "Why I'm Such A Geek" thread that turned into a Geek Contest, and you entered just to prove I was a bigger geek than you, Mercy And then you beat me! Haha
Sal and power13- ive looked for another set of awards.. i found some island dwellar did in 2002 i think but they didnt have any awards related to 'smoking'.. they did however have smellyness awards...which i didnt win...a certain Poopheonix did.. here is the link for proof http://www.hipforums.com/viewarchive.php3?FID=40&TID=54838&year=2002 Maureen/Gertrude/Rosie/Mercy (what should i call you!?!) - Kelso has been travelling but i think he's back now...i promise you a special gold star award hehe...as for the geek award.. its true - you won!
aww wowww the memories those were the dayes the dayes when i actually wrote on these forums lol instead of being abit lazy....
Memories indeed Mr.K is still a mystery! Me and a friend of mine actually met the guy, contact was lost soon afterwards...Maybe we were the best forum representitives considering his strong political views and time-travelling ability. And since we have a photo forum now, forum's best photographer would be a decent award to get. Fourm's filthiest member would probably please some too I suppose!
Hahahaha, Mike, I just spent ages looking for that thread and found it. Read through it all (took a while...its so long!) and I can't believe how much of a geek I am! And I have so many more things I could add to that now, its scary. Though I actually only came second with 89 points (HippyGirl had 112!!!). We all know you and Kelso were the biggest geeks though. I miss those days so much! Lets do something similar again soon! And another PM weekend, coz that was lovely... forevergeekyMercy x
Heehee you just made me laugh Kat with your use of the word 'smoking'! Haahaa! I didn't realise that I was up for so many.. and drinkupyourcider... and WOW! Sianymaster... that was a looooooooong time ago.. WOW! WOW! WOW! That's all I can blimmin say!
