And the 2008 flutherer of the year award goes to?

Asked by charliecompany34 (7813points) December 19th, 2008

you guys are the greatest. i’ve been on this site since june 2008 when “the collective” gave some great advice and i’ve been hooked ever since. i’d say “marina,” but i haven’t seen her moniker lately.

and a fluther convention so we can see “us” in person—wow!

Can I nominate myself?
Naw, really, AstroChuck, Nimis, or Sueanne.

I would totally go to a convention.

Nimis's avatar

How would we tackle such a question?
We’d need like 10,001 different categories
because everyone is so different—and awesome!

Your category would be Most Likely to Make You Drool Over Descriptions of Food.
Well, I drooled anyway.

asmonet's avatar

I knew I loved you for all the right reasons, Nimis.

Drool and all.

Nimis's avatar

[smooch]
(Wiped the drool away first. Don’t worry.)

asmonet's avatar

And so considerate too! Such a catch.

SuperMouse's avatar

I would agree with Nimis, there have to be categories. Off the top of my head:

Best Parenting Advice: skfinkel
Best Political Writing: Dalepetrie
Most Interesting Questions: Daloon
Goofiest Questions: Astro Chuck
Most Consistently Common Sense Advice: Augustlan
Best Grammarian EVER: gailcalled
Coolest Cat: Milo

charliecompany34's avatar

categories can be “best question” “most-answered question” funniest questions” weirdest question” “FUI question” (fluthering under the influence)

yeah, supermouse, thanks

Nimis's avatar

Wait, Milo’s on Fluther?
How is he NOT in My Fluther?

arnbev959's avatar

Milo uses Gail’s account when the need arises.

PupnTaco's avatar

I nominate shilolo for saving judochop’s life!

Nimis's avatar

PnT: Much agreed!

krose1223's avatar

I’m backin Nimis and Supermouse up. I think this is kinda like my island question.
there’s just so many!

asmonet's avatar

@pup: When was that?

Never mind, I found it

I missed that somehow. Yeah, I nominate shi.

SuperMouse's avatar

Shilolo definitely deserves major recognition for saving JudoChop! I can’t believe I forgot that! @Asmonet, here is the link to the thread.

Best Life Saving Medical Advice: Shilolo

charliecompany34's avatar

FOOTNOTE: maybe even a category where things advised really helped out somebody.

charliecompany34's avatar

@sueanne: wow, must be a tremendous response! we wait patiently…

Sueanne_Tremendous's avatar

I’d vote for Astrochuck as the overall winner. But also in the queue would be these runners-up:

Asmonet: For best use of words causing me to wet myself.
Harp: For having the most wide ranging knowledge base
Delirium: For best artistic eye (and ummm sex toy knowledge)
Augustlan: For giving best practical advice
Tits McGhee: For best list of interests and fields of expertise in a profile
Mtl Zack: For best performance by a Canadian
susanc: For best fabrication of words Gick girl!
gailcalled: For best collection of misspelled definitely’s
JohnPowell: For best dick-puncher
Chutterhanban: For asking this

I’ve got more but I have to leave for a short bit….

asmonet's avatar

I am incredibly proud of the reason you listed for me. :D

girl parts!

augustlan's avatar

I vote for Shi overall, and agree with the others in individual categories.

Who knew I was so practical/common sense-filled? I’m honored to be mentioned among such fine company!

AstroChuck's avatar

I would give it to Marina and Shilolo to share.
Nobody puts as much time and thought into answers as Marina. There’s a reason why she has accumulated so much lurve in a relatively short amount of time.
As for Shilolo, his free medical advice is priceless. I don’t believe anybody’s been billed for his services. No?

augustlan's avatar

@Astro: I agree…Marina is a goldmine here. I miss her terribly!

asmonet's avatar

Where’d she go anyway?

augustlan's avatar

She was gone for a while over Thanksgiving, dealing with family stuff. She came back, briefly, and now I don’t know where she is : (

omfgTALIjustIMDu's avatar

@Chuck, He told me yesterday that the bill’s in the mail. I guess he realized how to make a profit….

Jeruba's avatar

Please, flutherfriends, let’s not have contests.

AstroChuck's avatar

@SuperMouse- Goofiest questions?

SuperMouse's avatar

@Astro, I meant most entertaining questions. Yes, that is exactly what I meant. While this is not a frizzer, it is very entertaining and maybe just a bit goofy. Now I like to think of this as a goofy, it keeps me from using the word “disturbing.” How about a nomination for Most Thought Provoking?

P.S. I did mean it as a compliment!!!

AstroChuck's avatar

Most Thought Provoking. I like that.

asmonet's avatar

Says the boy dressed as Rudolph.

90s_kid's avatar

I vote for Augustian (but don’t say you vote for shilolo he’s at the bottom.)
I nominate chuck for most popular.
90s_kid for most hated.
Judi for most nicest.
gailcalled for most helpful in answering questions (big one).
Cprevite for telling jokes that I don’t get.

Any more I missed?

asmonet's avatar

@90s: Mosted hated is more like amurican or one of the other trolls. You’re far from that point.

90s_kid's avatar

Not quite, asmonet.

asmonet's avatar

Speaking as one of the people who would hate, love or be indifferent to you… How bout you just take my opinion as a compliment and go with it. You’ve only been here for three weeks give or take, stay a bit longer and you’ll see the real nutjobs come out to play.

Annoying a few people doesn’t get you most hated. If that were the case the ‘late great’ JackAdams would win. Hands down.

AstroChuck's avatar

@90s- most nicest?

krose1223's avatar

most nicest… ha. You get lurve for that.

krose1223's avatar

AHHH!! Damn you astro.

AstroChuck's avatar

Whad i do?

90s_kid's avatar

@ chuck

Long story that is extremely bad on my part. It’s better if you just trust me.

@asmonet

You should see how many people argue with my opinion.

90s_kid's avatar

Oh no, don’t get me wrong asmunet thank you very much for that encouragement…I’m just not sure it is true…but hey I have noly been on for a few weeks you are right.

krose1223's avatar

@astro- you posted what I was posted at the same time. Then I felt like I was being redundant. lol

AstroChuck's avatar

Correction. I posted what you posted, only I posted it first. Ha ha. I win.

krose1223's avatar

so sad. well I won here. :) So all is well. Plus it’s my birthday, so I DOUBLE win.

augustlan's avatar

Happy Birthday, Krose!

AstroChuck's avatar

Ooh. Playing the birthday card. That’s dirty. Okay, I guess I’ll let you win.
This time.

AstroChuck's avatar

Oh, and happy birthday.

90s_kid's avatar

Oops! I meant to put asmonet in that category!

asmonet's avatar

I’m not surprised.

El_Cadejo's avatar

dude grow the fuck up.

AstroChuck's avatar

In the immortal words once spoken by that great humanitarian Rodney King, “Can’t we all just get along?”

augustlan's avatar

While advising 90s kid to grow up, let’s remember he is only 14.

AstroChuck's avatar

If he talks that way to people in real life, I’d be surprised if he makes it to 15.

asmonet's avatar

@aug: At fourteen I had a job, most of my friends did too and we weren’t constantly making snide remarks at strangers over the internet to make ourselves feel better.

wundayatta's avatar

Gently, my friends. Gently.

shilolo's avatar

Man, kids these days… What are we going to do with them?

AstroChuck's avatar

Hey, what a good looking kid.

augustlan's avatar

@asmonet Me, too. I’m just saying maybe tone down the ‘fucks’?

asmonet's avatar

I haven’t said fuck yet, not in this entire thread.

El_Cadejo's avatar

no, but
<————————this fucker did

90s_kid's avatar

@asmonet
I have had a job since I was 10!!

asmonet's avatar

That’s illegal. :)
From what I hear, you work at your grandparents hotel, either they’re paying you under the table and you’re not a real employee, you’re just helping out or your work there is illegal.

90s_kid's avatar

Yeh…whatever…at least I have a life unlike you. Wait—did I say that?!

omfgTALIjustIMDu's avatar

[Mod says]: Flame off you two.

PupnTaco's avatar

Hostile lil’ buckaroo, ain’t he?

AstroChuck's avatar

Ain’t fluther fun?

El_Cadejo's avatar

lol soooooo pathetic.

RandomMrdan's avatar

rofl rofl rofl….I <3 Fluther sometimes.

RandomMrdan's avatar

oh, and I would put in my vote for AstroChuck, he makes me laugh all the time.
