I'm Calling Who Be Winning Da Poster Of Da Year Dis Year

Recommended Posts

Guest Vitamin X

My friends, we shouldn't be attacking the person endorsing Kinetic, my friends, we should be reaching across the aisle in this time of need, my friends. My friends.

We got frisky last year. That we did. Then drafts took over the board, and everything went to hell.

According to the always accurate TSMpedia:

 

The TSM Poster of the Year tournament has been held nearly every year of TSM's existence. The first two tournaments were held at random times of the year, however starting in 2004 the tournament was moved to March to coincide with the NCAA Final Four... at least, that's a more interesting story than whatever reason for why it was moved to March.

 

There was no tournament in 2005. Who the fuck knows why?

 

Note from Chave (who started the tournaments until 2007): The tournament was not moved to March to coincide with the NCAA Final Four. This would have been retarded. It was coincidence.

First of the year would work well from here on out, I think. You reflect on the previous year's posters, and we wouldn't have a 14 month wait due to switching it back to March. Might as well crown Kinetic right now, though.

Can I do some sloganeering for you? 'Get Behind EHME' is what I have in mind.

 

- :headbang:

 

I got one: EHME is a stupid fag

Maybe there should be a tournament for Kinetic's runner-up.

 

I nominate Jung Billz.

So what would we do for year-end awards?

 

Thread of the Year

Folder of the Year

Feud of the Year

Post of the Year

Dumbshit Moment of the Year

Worst Poster

Funniest Poster

 

 

Something in that vein...?

 

I love the idea of doing year-end awards. It just feels right given the season. It seems like that whole week between Christmas and New Year's is bombarded with magazines and tv shows doing their end of the year lists. I always advocate TSM being self-aggrandizing.

Sure. What I was thinking was that we can follow the same thing we're doing in Music, which is to just make any list you want, to which anyone can add or argue, and then compile them all at the end. The stuff you wrote can be in the one for this folder, and we can do one for sports, and TV, and so on. We'll put them at the tippity-top so nobody can miss it! I'll put Draft Faggotry up there too so I can atone for my sins!

In the 6 year history of the POTY, it should be noted that the first two tournaments were held in the SAME CALENDAR YEAR - May and September 2003

 

That's just fucked up. Czech and I were laughing about the Marvin thing one day. It's funny, Marvin used to be a decent guy who only rarely hinted at his pathetic life, he just said he looked like Kane a few times.

 

Here's another fun bit of trivia: College basketball sucks

 

As someone who lives and dies by the Memphis Tigers, that might be a votebreaker.

College basketball does suck.

 

It really doesn't. I've come to enjoy college more than pro ball recently. I get more emotionally involved in Memphis games than I do watching the Nets. If Memphis loses, it's a long night, while if the Nets lose, I just don't care as much as I used to.

 

I like the 20 minute halves, the possession arrows, the bands, it's just more fun to watch.

Come on bob, I was kidding!

 

I'm not a fan of college sports... or sports, really (hockey, baseball, and whenever darts from England is being aired - but even then it's a casual viewer and not someone googling stats daily) but I'll give basketball it's due for having a big ass tournament instead of a lame ass board of directors determining a champion (if that's not how college football really works, I apologize for my ignorance).

 

Also, I think only 5% of Canadians care about this stuff, so, yeah.

darts ain't a fucking sport venkman, a sport means you need a competitor in front of you, rival athaleet if you will...

 

darts is just something to do at a family BBQ when you're bored and fucked up... it ain't no sport.

Agreed to a point, but I enjoy watching it and it airs on sports networks. Those English are a rowdy bunch and the announcers always get really excited to say ONE HUNDREEEED AND EIIIIIIGHHHTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

There are lots of sports where you take turns.

 

Darts is just archery on a smaller scale, like ping pong is to tennis.

 

You could kill a man with a dart.
