    I'll be in FL sooner than later. I'll still be a boss on my foamie down there.

    When I move, we gotta get a foamie session in at new smyrna. See if one of those black tips will take a bite of greco goodness hahaha.

    Bruh, no polls and precincts will be in operation until the winter solstice. One trophy per annum, pet category. However, the purpose of dis tread was the straw poll to see who'd be on the prelim ballot for each. I'll put together my findings from dis tread when I get a moment during the weekend. Please excuse me as summah has sprung proper in my beach town and with the high pressure weather came high pressure in the jock for all the collegiate wahines lost in their overabundance of time and strutting on the shores. Land of the free (tail).

    Bros, we are now past the autumnal equinox and in the final quarter of scoring for all -OTYs (aka Swellie Awards). Please use dis tread if you have strong feelings on a given Sweller's consistent performance in a certain category over the summer. This is now the final pennant chase and all 2014 efforts will be measured and counted until Christmas Day, after which the official voting process will commence for a week's time for prompt announcement of victors at the turn of 2015.

    Best of luck to all candidates - your performances thus far have been quite impressive (or shameful, for certain categories).

    FYI, need to go back in the annals of the inaugural Swellies to see if we gave a GOTY (grom) and if so, frontrunner looks to be Dune. His absence doesn't even deter his nomination because when he went unplugged and feral it was prolific (lol) and so was his return.

    Suggested category- The Phoenix Award for the SI member who has risen from the ashes of digital void to once again bask in the light of the SI forum.

    Dune, after wandering the analog plains got his internet turned back on, remembered his SI name and came thundering back to make his most righteous contributions to the forum.

    And, we can't forget Matt Johnson, who after sitting in a dark basement trying to shake off the ghosts of the trolls and curmudgeons, has returned to the forum sans mod stick to achieve sweet redemption.

    I'm sure I'm missing a few.

    I'm going to nominate spicoli as MOTY: he's the glue of the Forum.

    Also Gaff for ODMOTY: Original Dude Member of the Year. Gaff doesn't post as much as he used to, maybe the knee has slowed him down there, but when he does he's like EF Hutton: people listen.

    I forget what "OTY" it was, but that tread where trevolution did the West Coast was pretty good.

    And HoStevie gets somethin for bein able to come in here, sellin stuff, takin a HEAP o' shi** for it, lettin it roll off his back, and comin back with both witty posts, and a few fun vids.

    Yup, trevolution and HoStevie get somethin.
