My apologies Emass. Reading back over the thread, it was hijacked by another not worth mentioning. I am new, my apologies to you and the thread. Won't happen again.

 

Good for you, RCarter. It is an achievement. Actually, it's more than that. It's freedom.
On the lighter side:

Dang it, I knew I should have said more this year so I would have been mentioned in the awards! Oh we'll, there is always next year.

YES, I fianlly got nominated for Hater of the year (aside from my nominating myself), I hope I win so I can have T shirts made! Oh and Atom I do not recall yelling at you but if I did thanks for making me angry enough too do so, every little bit helps on the long hard road to SI Hater of the year!!!! It's like Christmas eve all over again waiting for the results.

 

hmm...maybe it was Yankee?

Kidding. You've established yourself as a big jerk. You deserve some recognition. The Jerks are who make this site great.

 

Yes we sure do and it's a full time job!

 

MEMBER OF THE YEAR: BBG, kind never snarky and well spoken

BEST SWELL OF THE YEAR: everyday up in here
FIGHT OF THE YEAR - Roy and Yankee. or Yankee and CT, its a hard one
BEST OFF-TOPIC THREAD OF THE YEAR: Hello thread>> dummmy slapping vine vids
WETTY OF THE YEAR- xcel makes best 5 mil I think, but I dont need one anymore
SI CONSPIRACY OF THE YEAR: Emass is everyone, like in that story 757 put up about the universe and egg etc
NON-SURFING CONSPIRACY OF THE YEAR- people think gvt can solve gvt created problems- HILARIOUS!

 

I'm sorry RC, but I think Yankee is running away with this. Over time you may develop in to a true Hater, but (right now) the hate runs too deep in Yankee to overtake him. His classic and relentless bashing of Boo Boo, Gnome and the child recruiting Jesus freak are unrivaled.
Don't take this as rejection. You will have a strong shot at the title in 2014 if you put in the time and hate.
Good Luck!!!

 

MEMBER OF THE YEAR- PJB-represents the essence of what we do.
HATER OF THE YEAR- Yankee-pure vitriol when he wants to, love it.
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR- Tie b/t Mad Atom and sandblasters.
WORST NEW MEMBER OF THE YEAR- AO/OO- no real contributions, just picked fights.
THREAD OF THE YEAR (we may not need this to come to a vote)- 'Hello'-needless I say more.
POST OF THE YEAR- When Manisses dropped a banner post after I forgot about that thread and nearly made me piss myself(I'll provide the quote).
BEST SWELL OF THE YEAR- Memorial Day weekend(saturday early) or the 11/2 low.
WORST MYTHICAL HURRICANE/TS OF THE YEAR- Jerry- for obvious reasons.
FIGHT OF THE YEAR- The relevance(or lack thereof) of the passing of James Gandolfini.
BEST OFF-TOPIC THREAD OF THE YEAR- Banners.
MEMBER ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YEAR- PJB- Seldom Seen Christmas Adventure- I'm obviously biased, but it's something only we can really enjoy and involved most of the regular posters.
WETTY OF THE YEAR- anything O'neill- for us husky fellers.
SI CONSPIRACY OF THE YEAR- the existence of NJSM/bustingairs/jerseyplayerforever.
NON-SURFING CONSPIRACY OF THE YEAR- need to deliberate...

 

I would agree with you, the hate runs deep in the Yank but I am studying his ways and will continue to go for the gold. I will try and perfect the powers of the darkside in 2014. Thanks for the support in my endeavor nynj!

 

whoever it was who said they quit pot,good for you.dont listen to the trolls on here,u quit for your health and well being,not to please others.shyt I spend 12k a month on pot,actually probly 1200,but I only smoke the best.if im putting something in my lungs,its grade a shyt,not Mexican schwag.I quit pot many times over the years for work,probation,etc.im not a pot feind lol,just someone who has extra time and I live in the middle of nowhere,so I smoke pot and enjoy it.iv been around plenty of real addicts,coke heads,dope heads,speakin of which my boss just hired some new junkie from lb,go figure.pot isn't a problem but it doesn't hurt to quit while your ahead.me,il always be a certified burnout."hey dude,totally rad..check out that wave man,far out!!!"ima start using 80s lingo on here,anyway got 2 go burn one for jesus

 

Yeah that was me who quit. I was spending $1000-$1200 a month too. Been nice to have that extra cash, got a new guitar, amp, effects pedals and other stuff I had been wanting for years. My problem was I would smoke from sun up till bed and even though I could accomplish everything I needed too (work, family, etc) I was in a haze all the time and angry if I was out for a day or two. Now I am much more even keeled.
