I initially read that wrong as well. The "Pointing of the Year" competition. But it's no wonder, because a competition of that sort simply would make perfect sense in this country. May I also suggest doling out awards for > "Hub Announcement of the Year" > "Thai Soft Power Claim of the Year" > "Brake Failure Excuse of the Year" > "Amulet Saved My Life Claim of the Year" > "Winning Lottery Number Discovery of the Year" > "You Hansum Man Utterance of the Year" > "Coup d'Etat of the Year" > "Mia Noi Vindictive Rampage of the Year" > "Duck Feeding Event of the Year" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
