VOTE NOW: Poster of the Year GRAND FINALE 2015

[geronimo]

Bitey, as with all felines, may prefer the conditions in Chiang Rai, so Nancy should prepare herself for the possibility of not having Mr. Bitey anymore.

[Ace of Pop]

All getting tad Complex for me. Can't understand half the waffle.. So I'll stick with TA.He just drinks beer ,sings songs , and checks tire pressures and don't give a rats ass, a unique quality here.Can I give my Naam n Rons vote to him now the gone.[emoji23][emoji567]

[geronimo]

Nancy has started a "bring back Bitey" fb page!

[Patsycat]

He did a me. Let him do it.

[Patsycat]

Nancy has started a "bring back Bitey" fb page!

No, that is silly.

And i thought i was the crazy cat woman.

[SoiBiker]

What a farce.

[BookMan]

What a farce.

Because you are leading the vote?

[Patsycat]

I voted for you, Until tomorrow...

The thing about this, is the almost school thing. The five people have to answer questions about their lives etc. why? I find that a bit too personal. No way would i have done that apart from finding The Bare Naked Ladies video.

Anyway, good luck to all five. Merry Christmas to all. And i'll be back next year!! As usual, Potter potter.....!!?

[SoiBiker]

I'm not filling in a questionnaire. I don't see the point. If people like my posts, they should vote for me. If they don't, they should vote for someone else.

[Crazy chef 1]

Have to be back to another bone braking day in my kitchen in a few minutes...though will be back tonight...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU....

Emoticons --

If you use emoticons, what do you think is the one emoticon that you use most often? If you don't, what would it be if you did use them?

Thai food --

What are your five favorite Thai food dishes, if you eat Thai food, and if you don't eat Thai food, why not?

I don’t really have favorites except that I like everything my wife makes.

Poster of the Year Crown --

Please describe what your fantasy crown would look like if you win Poster of the Year?

It would be black and look like my Giro cycle helmet.

Nationalities --

If you had to live in another country than Thailand, but not your home country, which country would be your first choice and why?

(Regardless of visa and financial limitations.)

After 40 years in Thailand I might be interested in rediscovering my home country but that is excluded as an option. That is probably where I would go, though.

Thainess-osities --

Would you miss bum guns if you left (or have left) Thailand? Would you (have you) install a Thai bum gun outside Thailand?

Yes, I miss bum guns when we travel so I presume I would install one.

Thread samples --

Please provide links to a few threads that you started that you feel best represent the style of your participation at Thaivisa.com forum.

Posting so much --

People in contention for POTY awards are sometimes high volume posters. Please share your feelings about members who post a lot, whether that includes you or not.

I really don’t care how much or how often someone posts. I don’t, however, care much for people who pass judgement on fellow posters for whatever reason.

Self evaluation, rate 1 to 10 --

With 1 being lowest and 10 being highest, please RATE YOURSELF on your posts at Thaivisa. Careful about too much BS as people who know your posts may easily detect that.

Your BRAND on Thaivisa --

How would you describe your "BRAND" in the political sense as a poster on Thaivisa and finalist in the POTY contest? Everyone seems to have a brand these days. Ideally a brand is one word, a few words, or at most a short sentence. If you don't want to boil this down to a brand label, talking about the forums you usually post in here and your most frequent topic areas will provide similar information.

My brand is “villagefarang” and I can be found across the internet and social media by googling my brand.

Winning POTY --

What would winning the POTY Grand Finale mean to you? Do you want to win? Why? There is no cash prize, you know

While I am pleased and honored to be included in the final five, I think it is laughable to suggest that I might win. I will try to expand upon my reasoning later.

Does anyone actually watch these videos?

[Ace of Pop]

I try to Colour the picture in on the oid ones

[NancyL]

I am going to propose in future years that all AS SOON AS NOMINATED be required to reply to a PM stating they agree to stay in the contest all the way, or withdraw from the start. Campaigning is optional of course. People nominated who don't agree to stay in the race shouldn't even be on ANY voting list, even the earliest one. Issue solved.

Have you been given the Poll Lord title for life?

I hope so. I can't image anyone else being so anal or willing to stay at the keyboard 24 hrs/day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU....

Welcome to the FINALS Crazy Chef! I'm so glad you made it. Went to bed yesterday around 10:30 pm, probably while you were still working. Nothing exciting happening on the Semi-Finals thread and I was tired from a long day of Christmas eve parties -- undoubtedly catered by hard-working people like you.

So this morning, when I got up and looked at what happened on the Semi-Final thread after I went to bed, I was so wracked with guilt to see that you had checked in just after I left and all you wanted in your fatigued state was to see a nice amusing cat video. You waited in vain, not knowing I'd gone to bed. I had failed you. Plus, I hadn't voted for you, back when it was possible to be generous with votes. I felt like the Grinch who Stole Christmas.

But then, as I read this thread, I see that you had your Christmas miracle, Crazy Chef. You've made the Finals!

Crazy Chef -- do you like Christmas? Many cats don't.
