Best Username: I like the way the word
"Skvorecky" looks on the page. Plus, it’s always reminded me of a pretty cool
Canadian author.
Best Avatar: For consistently cool avatars,
Mantis, hands down. I’d give him equally high marks for his captions and yeah, they usually make me laugh.
Best Front Page Board: What Are You Listening To. Probably the best expression of what likely brought the majority of us here in the first place. And of course I’ll always have a soft spot for CanCon.
Best Interior Thread: Allen Key Survey (Bet you all forgot that one, didn’t you?)
Best Photo: Shane’s Cobra photo is indeed a classic.
Best Music Taste: So many with great taste around here – Riley, maarts, wayved, Ken Holzman, digmo, NdY, pattentank and on and on – but I’m going to go with
Tuneschick. They may all still be in their cellophane wrap but she always gives great list on RT10, What Are You Listening To, Latest Purchases, etc. etc.
Most Impressive Music Knowledge: maarts. Honourable mention to wayved, Riley, Ken H., patten, Mantis, NdY, kMc, tunes....
Most Impressive Movie Knowledge: Mary. Honourable mention – Weeping Guitar, Ken Holzman, Adam.
Best Record/Concert Reviewer: Ken Holzman. You so clearly missed your calling, Ken. It will comfort you to know, however, that in an alternate universe somewhere instead of being a top flight Texas shyster, you’re slaving away for peanuts for some arsehole like Jann Wenner.
Best Movie Reviewer: Can’t claim to be a big movie review connoisseur or anything. However, there’s a guy named Geoff Pevere I used to like who did movie reviews on CBC radio way, way back and
Mary’s style and artful analysis often reminds me of his stuff.
Funniest Poster: If laughter really adds years to your life, then I believe
Riley has added about a year to mine for every year that I’ve been around here! Which would now be five plus and counting. Thanks, man. Another guy who clearly missed his vocation in life. You should be writing Rick Mercer’s scripts or something, seriously.
Most Mysterious Poster: Gotta be
the *bear.
Gayest Poster: Patlogi Poster Who Appears To Get The Most Ass: Consensus would appear to be
Layla Rileydog.
Poster With The Coolest Posting Style: bowiglou. I mean, c’mon, who else could have inspired a neologism for his
mistakes fer chrissakes?
Poster You Would Most Like To Meet In Person: Ryosuke because I (for shame, for shame) still owe the guy some discs to reciprocate for the ones he sent me back around the time Castaways started. So Ryo, sincere apologies and if you ever make your way to Hali, look me up. I’ll take you down to Sam’s and the CanCon will be on me buddy.
Most Missed Poster: Really hard to pick just one.
One Angry Dwarf a.k.a. The Dwarf (when he goes missing he really
goes missing...). Also missed (or we don’t see enough of) ueb, Shane, dwazee, mimble, Ben Peach, mrbeano, niamh, Andrew, Ryosuke, kleak, lumen, Howe, Bamajohn, CWA and, strangely, Goatlover.
Sexiest Male Poster: Rileydog (2 bucks is 2 bucks, right?)
Sexiest Female Poster: Gonna be a gentleman here and just say that all the ladies of rs.com are mighty fine indeed.
Best Regional Posting Contingent: As usual have to go with my fellow
Canadians.
Most Easy To Get Along With Poster: Weeping Guitar. Honourable mention: tunes, maarts, Riley, Ken H., Rocky...
Most Political Poster: Not sure if this is meant to be 'most politically astute' or 'most politically motivated' or....?? but I guess I’ll go with
shin.
Most Intelligent Poster: Mary. Immediately elevates the level of discussion on any thread she joins in on.
Most Globally Focused Poster: Phil – Wherever it is, the man has been there!
Most Culturally Focused Poster: Phil – And he owns his own 'internet cafe' and everything!!
Cobra or Mongoose: Caribou
Best Overall Poster: All around I think
Luke has been in top form recently.
