Best Username: Like Drum, I like the way that Skvorecky looks on the page, but I'm gonna go in a slightly different direction here and give my vote to
Tuneschick. It's just a perfect name for this sort of a board. Honorables go to Dr.Dum, rocdoc, and Bowiglou (has anyone ever so succinctly summed up their musical taste in just three syllables? great name).
Best Avatar:
Mantis has consistently amusing avatars, with great captions, so I think he takes this category. Special notice, however, goes to Shin (I think it was) with the bouncing ta-ta's. That just might have been the best avatar ever. And for folks who don't change their avatars on a semi-weekly basis, I've gotta say that my own choice is pretty damn cool. Right Frag?
Best Front Page Board:
Influential Music.
Best Interior Thread: There are interior threads? Um ... hard choice actually, I'll give it to
Weeping's Movie Board 2.x. Where is that lad, anyway? There's not THAT much to do in South Dakota, he should be here more often ...
Best Photo: As classic as Shane's pic is, and as awesome as the BBQ was ... it's gotta be that pic of
Dolly molesting that (lucky) guitar. That thing should be an album cover.
Best Music Taste: This is almost impossibly hard to pick ... Bowiglou, Mary, Dr.Drum, Paul Cook, Fuzznuts, Dolly, Riley, Tuneschick ... damn, just so hard to choose. But I'm gonna give this jointly to
Rocky and Frag, b/c I don't know anyone else their ages with the breadth and depth of their likes. These guys give me hope for (at least the near) future of rock and roll.
Most Impressive Music Knowledge:
Dr.Drum. Fuzznuts gets an honorable mention for owning more Dylan than I do; hell, all of you guys surprise me at times with the things you know. Give yourselves all pats on the back, but then give the award to Drum.
Most Impressive Movie Knowledge:
Phil, because he's actually worked on the things. Weeping and Mary are the runner ups in this category.
Best Record/Concert Reviewer: Can I leave this blank? 'cause I don't want to vote for myself, but I'd really kind of like to win this category.
Best Movie Reviewer:
Weeping Guitar.Funniest Poster:
Rileydog. At least he better be, since he's doing this thing!
Most Mysterious Poster:
Invisible User. Who is that?
Gayest Poster:
Patlogi. At least as far as posters who really do sleep with members of the same sex. Or JohnOatesDog.
Poster Who Appears To Get The Most Ass:
Riley. Bankers get so much ass.
Poster With The Coolest Posting Style:
Bowiglou!Poster You Would Most Like To Meet In Person:
Mary, just b/c we've "known" each other online for so long now. Rocky, Drum, Bowiglou, Tuneschick, Dolly and Jesus ... hell, you'd all be cool to have a meal and tequilla with.
Most Missed Poster:
JAC. And actually, I'd really like to see the poster formerly known as Melon make a return as well. Lurker Bear, Strawman, Ryo, a bunch of others, too.
Sexiest Male Poster:
JohnOatesDog. Or his alter-ego, Riley.
Sexiest Female Poster:
Dolly. (Just go check out that pic of her with the guitar!) But all the ladies have their moments.
