Well its December already so time to ask for your nominations for the best poster.

Only one change to the contest this year.....mods are excluded from the voting.

A nod to the angel of the forum who would no doubt win again this year I am sure. Also a thanks for donating her prize to a local charity.

This thread is quite simple, post the name of the poster you want to nominate and please give the reason(s) for your choice.

If we get too many I will whittle them down to a sensible number using nothing but common sense and if need be bribery. This is Thailand after all!

Nominations close next week....then the voting will begin.

Good luck!

Are we even having a vote? Very clearly it is Changmaikelly.

Poster: Me.

Reason: literary genius, unmatchable sense of humour and huge modesty.

No self nominations. Sorry!

Yes there will be a poll. Best you expand on your reasons for choosing ChiangMaiKelly.

"mods are excluded from the voting."

Is that because we can see more than the average member or payback time?

None of the above. Its because Sheryl will win every year otherwise!

Fair enough.

Ok I'll nominate tutsiwarrior, for his hilarious and observant take on life and those around him. Brilliant poster!

I vote for Semper for always objectively making a funny turn to any thread.

I vote for Smokie36 for always being relaxed.

Hard to pick one out - but as a group the Fox news surrogates on the Obama election threads for their unstinting efforts to argue the impossible, illogical and their adherence to a level of denialism rarely seen in other posters.

So yeah, maybe CMK.

I vote for Jingthing. Knowledgeable on a very wide range of subjects, his views are unbiased and generally shows respect for other posters.

Last year's close runner up.....will he face a stiff challenge from CMK?

Sorry....couldn't resist that one....

Is the criterium: 'Original posting and waking people up by using smart writing' important on this voting?

Because mods could rig the poll results..

Just like your avatar samran, hard to pick 1 out lol

"Are we even having a vote? Very clearly it is Changmaikelly."

Only if the category is for very strange Americans who think that they're the only farang that's ever lived in Thailand!

I would nominate BigJohnnyBKK. His posts are reasonable, but controversial enough to keep things interesting.

Id have to say blether gets em goin when he wants.

Id give Mario a vote for mod of the year...and a vote for being encyclopedia of the year.

Indeed Blether gets a vote from me as well

Jingthing and Theblether are among my favourite posters, but i would give my vote to Street Cowboy, for his distinguished writing style..Very funny.... ( when i understand what he says )

By distinguished do you mean how he signs all his posts?...

Nono, i mean just the writing style, often subtly ironic but without any heavy sarcasm.

I nominate

MORCH

Probably not the best known of posters but a pretty amazing and knowledgeable adult voice on topics about Middle Eastern political issues.

You may not agree with the poster and with a small post count I vote for "Theycallmescooter" for the very original writing and post style. Doesn't follow the pack...

Do you think he may be the well known celebrity of Thai Visa?...have you heard that rumor yet?

I nominate

Middle Eastern political issues??.....hows that work on Thai Visa?

You do realize Christianity didn't really take off till they started throwing people to the lions.

I was in the pub with them all just the other week, with the exception of JT who couldn't find any kosher beer places in our bonny land, anyway he is just as tricky to fathom in person and has a twinkle of mischief in his eye to boot.

When he could get a word in of course!

I nominate

I seem to remember a guy in the M.E.who stirs up quite a lot of controversy in TV.... don't know if he posts at all (certainly not under his own name!)
