The Niggardly King Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Don't feel sorry, voting is pretty much done... we might see 3 more posters in here tops that vote.
King Kamala Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Czech, perhaps we should move these namedrops into the "The Brushes With Dubious Fame" from earlier this year in NHB. I remember one day in Boston last January, where I had three brushes with dubious fame in one day. It was glorious. Sat a couple tables away from PTI substitute host and legend of Boston sports journalism Bob Ryan at Mike's Pastry, ran into former Last Comic Standing finalist and current Dane Cook buttboy, Gary Gulman outside of a comedy club, and saw Donnie Wahlberg at The Celtics game. It was a glorious day.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Did I click on "The OAO Namedropping Thread" by mistake? I smell some pruning. Noooo. Retarded digressions are what make Poster Tournament threads fun. Remember that one last year where we all watched How High? Good tinmes.
Guest Czecherbear Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 It's true. I hope we can recreate that dubious magic this year. As for more votes, there are still a lot of close races on the board, so certain posters may need to go out and Matt Young the vote, get some support from friends who may have missed this thread, or total strangers. I'm looking at you, Vitamin X.
The Niggardly King Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Does geniusmoment actually know about this? He got screwed out last time.
Slayer Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 It's true. I hope we can recreate that dubious magic this year. Such as "Remember that one good post Byron made? That was a good post"
The Niggardly King Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 47) Resurrecting the Champ That was one of the most unintentional funny movies I've ever seen, mainly because of Samuel L. Jackson and because I drove by the filming of the movie and saw Samuel L. Jackson and yelled out my window when I saw him, "YEAH THEY DESERVED TO DIE, AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!!!!", and Sam Jackson looked at me and smiled. It was the greatest moments of my life, my daughters birth comes 2nd. :lol:
Lord of The Curry Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Oh yeah like I'm gonna beat godthedog. This is some poe-litical bullshit.
Guest Smues Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Dr. Venkman Dandy Harley Quinn - I-AA schools represent! EHME - Did Marney even post here this year other than yelling at people in the Current Events folder? Urban Warfare Cheech Slayer - 7 years later Thoth - Even though he Wii gifted me Tetris and now I can't get my Wii back from Smuesette Kinetic Broward83 Spaceman Spiff Canadian Chris Mellow Bored - One of the tougher choices so far. I think I nominated Obi. Edwin Fazzle - I nominated both I think. Really tough choice, coin flip. KOAB The Franchise Smues - I normally vote for Bob, but hey. Mattdotcom King Kamala Pbone Al Keiper - Sorry Luke, you got a bad matchup Alfdogg - Coin toss, really tough call S.J. Kreese Canadian Gtrst Treble Black Lushus Hawk34 King of the 909 Vitamin X - Sorry Scroby, Meltzer isn't that bad. Lord of the Curry
Gary Floyd Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Venkman-I like the guy. He's one of my favorites Dandy Inc Marney (RIP) Byron (Because I have no clue who the other guy is) Cheech Slayer (Brody's gimmick is annoying. I like Slayer) Ortonsault Kinetic snuffbox (Because I have no clue who Broward is) Spiff (Better avatar. Plus, I ain't voting for Matt) CanadianChris mellow Bored Edwin (I've always liked Edwin. Doubt the feeling's mutual) fazzle Koab Smartly Pretty Smues MattDotCom Kamala Pbone (I've grown to like Pbone) alkeiper (No way I'm voting for luke-o) Agent (Possibly my favorite poster) Kreese (Sorry Kotz, you don't post as much as you once did) Cybermark treble Lushus (Tough one, as i like them both) Milky gary floyd (I don't stand a chance. I do like being called a last.fm account that can talk and defecate for some reason. At least I'll to a better poster.) Vitamin X (Good guy, and fellow Agalloch fan) godthedog
fazzle Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 If we're all discussing lame brushes with fame, I spent between an hour and two just talking shit with Chad Michael Murray, while we were both camping out to get a Wii on release day. Mostly talking about Buffalo. He seemed like a pretty cool guy that night/morning, but most everyone else I know that's met him(and that's just about everyone in this town) says that he's normally a dick. Hell, I didn't even know who he was until someone else told me. That's about the only celebrity interaction I've had, but I've seen plenty around here, since Wilmington IS the #3 spot in the US (Hollywood and NYC being top 2, of course)for movie/TV filming.
Gary Floyd Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I once talked briefly with Saul Williams-good guy. I didn't have the heart to tell him I don't like Zach De La Rocha though.
Guest Smues Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Four time Iditarod champion Jeff King was at the Superbowl party I was at last year. ... Yeah I got nothing.
snuffbox Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I also (too) met Saul Williams. That's neat.

King Kamala Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Tony Atlas is the nicest celebrity I've met. Weird as hell but incredibly nice.
Smartly Pretty Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I had Ra Ra Riot over for dinner last April. The violinist dated my brother for a bit. They're super cool. Fucking hilarious bunch of people.
CanadianGuitarist Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 The NoCalMike thread wasn't that funny. If that's in classics, then why the hell isn't "I wear a tie to the board"? At least call it the Treble Memorial Legend Room or something. Fuckin' idiots, all' a'ya. Furthermore, despite calling everyone "fuckin' idiots", I've twiced edited this post. Take that.
KingPK Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 In my ten minutes of research, I couldn't find this "Tie post" that people keep referencing. That only means one thing: conspiracy.
jwest27 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I tried to explain every choice, but man screw that. Venkman Bigolsmitty Incandenza Marney - May be kind of crazy and also possibly dead, but damn if the Current Events folder didn't become more entertaining when she was around. I'm sure the people who actually post there will disagree. Byron - I get this guy confused with Pbone a lot, I think. Doesn't really factor into this vote, just thought it was odd. Cheech - Choosing between a Red Sox fan and a Yankees fan is not easy, but Cheech usually brings the sabermetricness that I can't be bothered to look up or fully understand, so I'll go with him. Slayer Ortonsault Kinetic Snuffbox Spaceman Spiff - The Calvin & Hobbes reference was the difference maker. Canadian Chris Mellow Bored Edwin Andrew TS KOAB Smartly Pretty Smues Mattdotcom Kamala - I almost want to vote for a fellow random numbered username poster, but nah. Pbone Al Keiper See Cheech and "sabermetricness" Agent of Oblivion - Hey, I'm gonna listen to "Graveflower". S.J. Kreese Canadian Guitarist Treble Black Lushus Milky King 909 Vitamin X - EAT TO LIVE and such. godthedog
treble Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Here you go. That wasn't even my best post this year.

PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 With the ass whooping he's giving me, Smues needs to tell me the secret of good boarding You need a new signature.
bob_barron Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Hmmm, that could be it. I'm just too lazy/don't care to change it. I think my role as ombudsman really did more damage than good. Luckily for 2009, this will be a non-factor.

Matt Young Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 You shittin' me, Matt? I actually thought it said "CanadianChris", so I immediately voted Cyber Mark (nothing against Chris, btw) but shit... I like both you guys. I'll have to think on that one. Some of these choices are tough.
Art Sandusky Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Yeah, really. To those who voted for the other guy over me, does quantity really best quality? So a guy's been around more often, does that make him better than another? It's like you guys expect validation, and I'm not ready for this kind of relationship. Perhaps when I was younger and more cavalier about how I wasted my hours...
The Ghost of bps21 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Yeah, really. To those who voted for the other guy over me, does quantity really best quality? So a guy's been around more often, does that make him better than another? How long have you been here? This is a silly question.
