1st Annual Mooseketeer Awards

Sounds like a great award to win!

Almost like the Nokarmael peace prize.

What about your side kick, The Rocketeer award

I nominate gotwood4sale for "Most Active Poster" ... 347 times ... at least.

What? No award for "Best Female IM-poster"?

You should at least cover all catagories.

OPP

Lets get some more nominees up there:

Best Male - Fungo
Best Female - MN-Mom of course!
Best Avatar - Bullwinkle (also best potential meal) LOL
Most Active - Gotwood
Best State - Ohio/PA/KY/WV
Best Joke - All of Cong's
Best Topic in General Forum - "Where you at?/THE FRAPPER
Best Topic in any forum - "Please Identify Your son"

Well, Bullwinkle - fun idea. However, like that thread we had on picking "five" people you want to meet, it's almost impossible to pick one for each of these categories!

Best Male Poster - Fungo
Best Female Poster - MNMom - she's the queen of the board!
Most Active Poster - Gotwood - JT gave him a good run the other day though!
Best State Forum - Well, I feel a bit embarassed voting for my own, but got to be loyal to my gang - OH/KY/PA/WV
Best Jokester - Cong
Best Topic - The Call by HeyBatter - now Bullwinkle if we'd been given more than one vote in each category, my second choice was the Frappr post!
EDIT: I just realized that you did give two options for topics - Where are You Frappr Post

Puma - Thanks!

Hey, don't nominate me for a POSTER award, I'm just doing the behind-the-scenes stuff.

Can we add a category to the voting:
Best Moose?

Hmmmm, maybe that would be a little too obviously slanted. How about Most Humorous Four-Hooved Poster?

puma1 - that was so sweet I don't know what to say. Bullwinkle - nice idea. I will offer a small suggestion in an effort to get more recognition out there - sort of like the heisman voting where you get points if you are voted for second or third.

Best Male Poster - Fungo, PGStaff, infielddad

Best Female Poster - lafmom, luvbb, MN-Mom

Best Avatar - Bullwinkle, itsinthegame's son diving for a ball, HeyBatter

Most Active Poster - gotwood, JT, and observer44 (something to do with karma)

Best State Forum - If allowed to vote for Oh/Ken/Pa/WV, if not Illinois, Tennessee

Best Joke in Unusually Unusual Forum - cong is king

Best Topic in General Item Forum - This one is like the academy awards where the most recent good one wins but HeyBatter's Last Call was a classic. One that sticks in my mind was the racism thread when Larry Cochelle was fired at Oklahoma. Catfish posted one of the best posts I have ever seen in there.

Best Topic in any Forum - Tough one but in the last year, the one I have revisted the most was the Interview With God in unusually unusual.

I don't read all the forums, so I can't vote in all the categories

Best Male Poster - Fungo!! I really enjoy his take on things.

Best Female Poster - Chill!! I like her insight and opinions.

Bullwinkle...I've been giving this a lot of thought.....something I don't always do when I post....and.......I can't vote for just one in most categories.....

I go to vote for "Best Female Poster"...and I think Lafmom....then I remember the advise TPM has given.....and then MN-Mom.... who has kept the whole thing alive.....and FBM's advise.....luvbb....it's like so many helped us realize son's goal of playing at the next level....

Same with "Best Male Poster"......kind of feel like we owe a bunch of thanks (and votes) to a lot of people.......but....I can vote for:

Best Avatar: Bullwinkle (makes me smile)
