Be sure to drink your Ovaltine....what? A crummy commercial??? Son of a bitch!

 

Although, its a great commercial ^...

 

Congrats to those nominated, and to the winners and losers, but, i will not be voting. I am holding my vote in protest.

 

I am not sure what i am protesting, as i am currently in a state of mass confusion. Yet, i am indeed protesting something.

 

Carry On.

Jambone your protest is like supporting a  government shut down when so many are looking for leadership. Stand up and be heard bro.

I nominate KK for his totally original idea of doing a mock awards show.

Is it too late to nominate someone?

You'll have to forgive me,  I've never participated in the ZOTY. 

My vote goes to Slacker.

Slack's relentless questioning pushes zoners out of their comfort zones, and it forces them to confront the uncomfortable reality that is. 

 

 

 

?

^Exactly. 

Very tight race.  

Didn't Alan already win this in the other thread?

I knew there was a reason for my confused state.

Didn't Alan already win this in the other thread?>>>

Nope. No official winner.  

Bluelight Odysseus by a country mile.

No one brought more entertainment to the zone this year. Whether you liked it/him or not. 

No sure what any of the other nominees did to stand out this year tbh. 

Go on up and get your award, Blue.

KK is a big Dead and Co. fluffer.

Agreed on Bluelight and his meth induced psychosis posting style. 

Bluelight Odysseus by a country mile.

No one brought more entertainment to the zone this year. Whether you liked it/him or not. 

No sure what any of the other nominees did to stand out this year tbh. 

Go on up and get your award, Blue.>>>>>>>

 

Everyone has different criteria in figuring who is worthy of there vote. Bluelight, like so many, deserve consideration but I do not think any one of the above were ahead by a country mile.  This Is  indeed a very tight race. Coming down to the wire.

Sit back down bluelight. wink

 

  

Quick update from Zoner central. Based on emails received over the last few months and multiple threads the vote placement is:

 

 

Alan is in first by a hair

in 2nd only 2 votes behind we  have a tie  between bluelight  and Lance

and in 3rd only 4 vote behind we have Druba and Furious E

and in 4th  only 6 votes behind Alan we have a tie between 19.5 DEGREES, PORTLAND KEN & PLF9905

 

 

 

And for your continued listening pleasure we bring you

The Grateful Dead Buffalo Auditorium on 1979-11-09

If I'm in the running then this is a rigged game; I'm way too vanilla for an award like this.

PLF9905 should definitely get consideration for his completely random and unintelligible use of punctuation and lower & upper case letters along with his generally unhinged rantings.

I will say that 'Hall'ucination's trip thread from Colorado was worthy of thread of the year, and while he posts selectively the edge is always sharp when he does.

Hall is a true HOF Zoner. He has my TOTY vote.

Unrelated, but I noticed Mother Superior hasn't posted much lately. Hope everything is ok in Adminville.

Hahahaha Love you KK

Thanks so much Across; I really appreciate it.

Update  Hall In contention!

Alan is in first by a hair

in 2nd only 2 votes behind we  have a tie  between bluelight  and Lance

and in 3rd only 3 votes behind we have Druba and Furious E 

and in 4th  only 4 votes behind Alan we have a tie between 19.5 DEGREES, PORTLAND KEN & PLF9905 AND HALL

Good evening to you all. Halls Zoner history runs deep.  Impressive run down the stretch. The emails that came in with last minute votes were faith restoring.

 

Often credited as being of the best Dead shows of the 90's and the last exceptional Garcia birthday show for your listening pleasure.

This seems forced without the committees involvement.

One of the committees got disbanded after a "Kevin Spacey" incident with Ateix...    

But it was the year of the mini-movie!

This seems forced without the committees involvement.>>>

Waiting to count your vote.  

Nomination for Noodler in their emergence as one of the creepier posters on this message board in 2018.

Nice use of “their” as a personal pronoun, especially because they have never specified.

My personal pronoun is “he/him.”

Slack was robbed!

Kevin Spaceix?

ZOTY aside McDoobie wins the best Sister Wives Drama Thread.

Actually that award should go to all the dolts that can't seem to smell bullshit while they're stepping on it. 

In some traditions a promise ring is a sign of purity.

Slacker won last year & was strong contender the year before.

No value can be weighed upon on being an involved = Good Parent.  None. 

Stronger powers & laws guide those and their loved ones who walk that path.

America needs to rebuilt on that creed...

Syntax

Lol.

Seriously , I agree with ,Bluelight.

 

Slack, you are a good Dad. Tip o' the hat.

Not sure when the official deadline is, but will be traveling up the hwy to "Broomy" to see Cheese for NYE later and will likely not be online ... so I'll cast my vote now for Noodler.  If a pictures speaks a 1k words, then he's been able to generate more with less.

>italics make everything seem so much more important

Hipster_Slot-2_bottom-left.jpg

lol.

 

Happy New Year Jonas!

Not sure when the official deadline is, but will be traveling up the hwy to "Broomy" to see Cheese for NYE>>>>

dude....you had a great year. You hit a diversified list of topics with great thought and enthusiasms. And who know, a late night rush of votes from all your fans in Broomy could bring home the bacon. Great Zoners in Broomy

 

Good Job!

I extend to you my warmest wishes for the New Year, Suxxor

>>6, was that your favorite twink image saved to fap on in  2018

No I just googled hipster and picked a random image.

I extend my warmest wishes on this amateur holiday to you.

 

And you still have my vote for ZOTY 2018.

Lol k

I blow and you suck!

So glad we are evolving in our friendship.

 

New Years Eve is amateur hour because everyone comes out of the woodwork to go out and party for New Years.

Blah.

You are my friend, Six. Do you like the above image, of the man blowing his Aerophone?

It's cool. It's good to share friendship with you. At least you push me out of my comfort zone unlike the old hippies.

Ok that's the kind of comment gives one the creeps just saying, thanks Sixer but please keep it to yourself.

That's some Noodler-level stuff. Keep aiming at that quality and you may end up on SpanJam's 2019 list, but this year it's kind of... it feels like youre oozing some of the runoff the metoo thing. That's peak-Nood right now, man. Just.. keep it cool ok.

Can't be talking trash on "old hippies" right now. Just. fucking. saying.

dude....you had a great year. You hit a diversified list of topics with great thought and enthusiasms. And who know, a late night rush of votes from all your fans in Broomy could bring home the bacon. Great Zoners in Broomy<<<<

Thanks for the encouragement, but I fully realize what I'm up against with nedb's influence re: Broomy political machine

Its down to the wire and so close. So close A recount is going down live at Zoner HQ.
