  1. Darn, I’m not going to win an award. I don’t see a category for me.

    Oh, Couger, you betcha! We’ll find an award for you yet.
    Hmmmm…maybe best sex change PLUSA award. Now don’t go raiding my wardrobe, hon. After all, I am shaped like a Coke bottle and you, like a Coke can.

    [wink]

  3. I’ll bite, cobble. I actually find your tone in two posters who argued with each other — stoner and yente. I think you are probably one of these, more likely yente.

    I noticed at least one other PLUSA in the thread under a previous nom de guerre, and it seems like several PLUSAs were still anonymous, but must be there. I remember reading the thread, if I posted it was probably anonymously. I don’t think I had donned my overalls yet.

    On the categories, #23 should have a runaway winner.

    Jackal, a debate needs two sides, hence the two categories. You may get my vote for one of those categories, but certainly not the other.

    ## 4 & 16 allow us to love and and hate on the Slope at teh same time.

    #21 should be handled by numerical tally (where’s randi?).

    One serious question — what is the time frame? Are tehse all time awards? Apply only to current PLUSAs? Passt year? Will this be the annual thing? Is the what having his own award ceremony or is he eligible here?
