Jingthing Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Remembering specific posts from even days back isn't a reasonable expectation. I suggest you change it to THREAD of the year, dude.

David48 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Smokes ... do you actually literally mean 'Post' of the Year ... or 'OP' of the Year ... 'Thread of the Year? ... as they are different beasts. Can you nominate your own work, or does it have to be a 3rd party nomination? Just asking like ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 'post of the year'??? I thought it was 'poster of the year'... and, as usual I put meself forward as an all around 'good guy'...tiresome perhaps but only in the interest of entertainment... and I have an admirable capacity to endure abuse...the APSB (alpha poster, schoolyard bully) brigade know who they are and they are defeated! tutsiwarrior stands as a beacon to the oppressed of thaivisa!

tutsiwarrior Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) arrgh...to illustrate I haveta bring in classic cinema and this time it's Captain Bly and his speech when cast adrift in a small skiff on the open sea east of Tahiti (Charles Laughton, 1935): 'and I'll live to see alla youse...hanging from the highest yardarm in the british navy!!!!' and Captain Bly was not a bad person...just a bit misunderstood...just like tutsiwarrior...

tutsiwarrior Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 hey listen...we got many posters here at thaivisa such that what's cool in the money and finance section may not be cool in bedlam or in the food section or immigration section... the nominations are open and we can have our way in that regard but there must be an impartial judging panel maybe based upon length of membership on the forum (and that makes me one of the oldest...yuk, yuk, yuk...) so...let's open the nominations and I nominate (excluding the mods): Professor Naam Humphrey Bear Jingthing and not necessarily in that order... we represent a lot that is good about the forum and are long timers... and this time there has to be an awards ceremony with food and wine, etc...and I shall even fly back from saudi to attend...and I want award presenters; george and sbk and etc... shit or get offa the pot like my old hooktender in the Alaskan woods useta say... arrgh, arrgh; where's Ms EEK???

Popular Post Forethat Posted December 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2013 Surely there must be at least a couple of categories? May I suggest the following categories: 1. The Verbal Pugilist - awarded to the poster who delivered the most accurate punches. 2. Excrementus Bos Taurus - awarded to the poster who fertilised the forum with most bull shit. 3. Milli Vanilli - awarded to the poster who didn't contribute with anything, but made it look that way. 4. Abe Lincoln - awarded to the poster who thinks he can fool some of the posters all of the time and all of the posters some of the time. But fails to fool all the posters all the time 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Smokie, I think you need a Troll Thread of the Year, if only to compliment the serious (or not so serious) threads. There seem to have been a lot of unverified Trolls about this year................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mca Posted December 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2013 I think we should have the following categories. 1) The thread where the most innocuous OP deteriorates into a slanging match before the end of the first page. e.g. "What is the correct grade of engine oil for a 2010 Honda Jazz?' ( 4 post later) "Why did you buy one of those pieces of leper shit you know nothing whore-marrying <deleted>?" 2) The CSI Walking Street thread where the professed "experts" come out expounding their infinite knowledge on things such as international finance, accident investigation and legal precedents while dismissing the opinions of people such as World Bank President Dr. Jim Yong Kim as "crap" despite panicking themselves that they won't have the cash to renew their visa extension of stay this year and looking for the cheapest packet of ciggies at the local mom and pop. . 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Sorry, but I can't even remember my own posts after an hour, let alone any body else's. But I do recall some threads.

MichaelJackson Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 How about the poster you would most like to meet, and introduce to a baseball bat ! i.e the most irritating or annoying ? Most entertaining read for me would be "the blether", always brings a grin ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 and I object to this exercise being called 'a competition'...if there is a competition then there must be winners and the vanquished and of which we know that 'contenders' are acutely sensitive to... this must be labelled as an 'adulation' of those that make thaivisa what it is... (later tutsi is in a bar in Bangkok and someone knocks over his beer: 'hey! I'm tutsiwarrior!!! clean that up you insignificant scoundrel!!!)

David48 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 If it is indeed 'Post of the Year' as per smokie36's title (and it is his thread after all) ... This was memorable for me ... I am not sure it is isolated to certain communities around the world, but individuals within communities, the usual shout of Isaan, goes up like a clarion call of slip fielders in the hope of getting a group "like", however there isn't much wrong with a request, no matter how close the society. What I find even more disturbing, is that you cannot ask a neighbour for a glass of milk, society going forward like a collapsed scrum on continuous loop. "goes up like a clarion call of slip fielders in the hope of getting a group "like" Sometimes I read a post, kick back and think well said ... Mr Finn ... I salute you.
