Post Info TOPIC: Nom d'Aplomb People's Choice Award
Invictus' IT Director

Date:
Nom d'Aplomb People's Choice Award
Permalink Closed


Internecine squabbling continues within the Emergency Ad Hoc Committee. Miss Information refuses to speak to "that pervert" Invictus & Malapropism is missing in action, presumably a victim of hypothermia deep in the Piney Woods.

I've been asked to come up with a "new, innovative program" for the Nom d'Aplomb Award this week that will "leverage online resources" to cut corners & run this joke like a business.

Accordingly, the elves in the Invictus IT Department (along with some consultants from B.O.G.U.S.) have prepared an online nom-ranking system. This week's Nom d'Aplomb Award will use this system, which will be a "people's choice" award.

That's right -- YOU can select this week's lucky weiner! Just go to the Vote-O-Matic website & rank the nom-inations.

Give a rating of 0-5 to each of the listed "noms" on the web form. You may rank as many or as few as you wish. You may give them all "5's" or you may take it seriously. It's your choice. And because we modeled our system on state of the art Diebold voting machines, you will even be given the opportunity to vote over and over, just in case you are bored.

To access the Vote-O-Matic, you will need to enter this week's secret access code. That is set up to restrict voting to the designated time period. This week's secret access code is "Gnome". (Enter it without the quotes, but it is case-sensitive.)

Invictus, Mal, Miss I, or some drunk they find on the street will announce the winner some time Sunday, as usual.

Just to clarify this: 5 is the best and 0 is the worst?

If that's how you want it to be. If you want 0 to be the best & 5 to be the worst, vote that way.

This is all about "shared governance," so show a little initiative, OK?

Damn straight.  Enough of the bickering about eateries and libraries. Time to get down to the serious fun.

Invictus has indeed shown some initiative here, probably inspired by Luna's solo efforts of a week ago.  Meanwhile, I have just returned from a most perfectly lovely lunch with Miss I and we have smoothed out both the antimacassars and the hard feelings.  The fully worked dewberry brandy helped the process immensely!


My advice for the posters is to continue combining relevance, double entendres and creativity.  I saw a post last evening from PseudoNym and I thought to myself if only the poster had pushed the envelope a little bit - PseudoNymph would have been a winner.  Anyway, my advice for the judges is not to settle for mediocrity...world class noms only please.  We have a reputation to uphold.

Hey Mal,


That was me, and I even thought about stretching the moniker to PseudoNympho, but finally decided I might offend any bluenoses who may be lurking here, so erred on the safe side.  I'll know better next time. By the way,  I hereby request special recognition for the brilliant poster who dubbed Shelboo  "The Dungmaster"  


Regards,


PseudoNym(pho)

Cripes! They've ganged up on me! Well, I'm glad you aren't lost in the woods (or whatever that Leon Russel song was).

"We have a reputation to uphold."


As do I. That's why I will not vote for a pseudonympho! Only the gen-u-wine article need apply!

Invictus, not to worry we toasted you over lunch!


PseudoNym(pho), you see that there's a fine line in this naming business - one that requires a great deal of finesse.  Not enough suffix for me, too much for Miss I and then Invictus' problem with the prefix.  My guess is that the People will be much easier to please than the Committee.  Good luck.  Also, please remember to address me now as Malapropism so that Mike Lott (the new MAL) doesn't have to explain on-line conversations about sex-crazed woodland creatures in his next political race!

I have added "PseudoNym(pho)" to the People's Choice Nom d'Aplomb ballot. I'm sure I will catch hell from Invictus for this...

So... All you PseudoNym(pho) Maniacs can go vote now!

Remember, vote early & often!

What does one do if one has moral zeal only for Diogenes?
