Jingthing Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Anyway, there is still plenty of time till the end of the month, and plenty of time for winnowing, and voting, so I reckon the NOMINATIONS should continue here for a number of DAYS yet. So please do CONTINUE with all of your nominations. I suggest writing something about WHY you are nominating the person (short and sweet best) because many of the names are not widely known. Keep in mind this is not a voting thread and there is no need for the same name to be nominated 10 times. ONCE is adequate. This here is for NOMINATIONS.

Fabricus Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Anyway, there is still plenty of time till the end of the month, and plenty of time for winnowing, and voting, so I reckon the NOMINATIONS should continue here for a number of DAYS yet. So please do CONTINUE with all of your nominations. This here is for NOMINATIONS. Perhaps you -- Sir Poll Lord -- could start by summarizing nominations added thus far. Or perhaps I could suggest a format: Who do you support: Transam Why: Dunno. Don't know what to say. He's just kind of, you know, decent. And he's sort of one of us. Know what I mean? Seriously, he's straight up. Wicked, innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I certainly won't be periodically summarizing all the nominations. It's just a matter of looking at the thread when the nominations close and gleaning all the unique names. So mentioning the same name 10 times isn't helpful but it doesn't really hurt either, because the list will only show the name ONCE. Anyone nominated who doesn't want to be considered should post to that effect, or they may end up in the voting rounds, like it or not.

Supaluke Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) My nomination goes to Mr Fletchsmile Smart guy, good business nous, probably never drops down into this Pub for a drink. If he doesn't make the cut, my other choices mostly have been nominated. Edit, umm, sorry for the large photo, I'm not very good with this stuff, can someone make that a bit smaller, I thought it would look (same size) like his Avatar. thanks Edited December 8, 2015 by Supaluke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I nominate smokie36 because he is THERE. Eating Mexican food. As in there's no there there, why, yes there is, smokie36's there! What about smokie35? You don't wanna know. Mr Tobacconist -- sometimes referred to as Mr Smokie -- is in some ways the biggest hero in TV history. What he did was monumental: he took all the worthless scum from TV and dumped it on a new forum. And he kept it there. The man is extraordinary. The reason TV is so much better now than a year ago is largely due to Mr Tobacconist. The man is a TV forum hero. I happily nominate SMOKIE. I have to reject the nomination as I'd hate to be seen to promote the consumption of tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLCrab Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) It seems remiss of me to have overlooked the indefatigable Mr Crab. The maestro of 140 words is as deserving a mention as anyone else. Let me nominate Thaivisa's very own tweet master and resident Khon Khaen expert, Mr JL CRAB. OK Thanks but it's 140 characters - not 140 words. BTW as to who is/was JLCrab from Chinatown -- Jack Nicholson as GITTES / Faye Dunaway as EVELYN: OK -- back in business. < snip > One day soon I may start a SERIOUS thread about Stanley Kubrick. I would love to discuss Barry Lyndon. My favorite Kubrick scene from Dr. Strangelove ... where Gen. Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott) is asked by the President (Peter Sellers) if a highly damaged B-52 can still deliver its nuclear bomb on target: Edited December 9, 2015 by JLCrab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a token payment of B10k, I will nominate you. I remember reading the late columnist Herb Caen in The San Fracisco Chronice in the early 190's that a well attired business man approached a scruffy young man at Union Square and said: Business Man: Here's 10 dollars -- go get a haircut. Scruffy Young Man replied: Here's 20 dollars -- drop dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitawatWatawit Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Only one person (the fabulous Fabricus) seems to be backing JT for Poll Lord. He is railroading us. I put the motion that Fabricus be excluded from the process of selecting the Poll Lord on the grounds that Fabricus aliquis inconveniens aut ingrata. All in favour! The ayes have it. I would like to nominate Soi Biker. Though he is on my ignore list, he does have the advantage of being a master of brevity, unlike JT who is incapable of saying one word when 20 will do.

sipi Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Since most of the better posters have been hounded off this board there really isn't a decent nominee for POTY this time around.

HooHaa Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I nominate Ulysses G. because he was a great general and a crappy president, who lives on as formidable Thaivisa member of unusual persistence. Some may say pigheaded. But you notice him. yes, indeed, one of the forums most staunch anti muslim posters and supporter of Donald trump does indeed some sort of mention, for sheer enforcement of the ugly american stereotype and its comedic value alone. Gone are the days when he was a mild mannered sexpat bookseller and lover of american fast food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
