Carrottop award for Most Consistently Annoying poster:
Space - Too numerous to adequately count
CE (left) - Splinx by a mile. Though even Don's death a day posts are getting on my tits. *
CE(right) - Scott by a thousand miles (Lee by a million if he posted more often)
CE(other) - What a stoopid category
OT - SDAI may be right. So let's give this to any eejits who insist on trying to make political hay on the OT board.

Daftest post of the year: Could be almost anything by Johannes involving math. Could be the defense of under-age marriage. Could be any thread that is started or joined in by Barry.

Biggest waste of an intelligent mind: SDAI is right again. I know who wins this category hands down. ;-)

Worst couldn't-catch-a-clue-in-a-room-full-of-clues-that-had-their-feet-nailed-to-the-floor poster:
Possibly good ol Bowser. Possibly Splinx. Possibly Scott. Definitely Sam.

Worst poster who continually repeats continually repeats continually repeats him/herself: Ah that would be Tommy Boy for the continuous hidden agenda/communists in disguise/its the media fault tirades.

Best reason to stay away from CE: Umm, all of the above.

Roger Irrelevant award for the most consistently wibblous red herring/yellow submarine poster: Scott and Anne, the perfect couple.

Flamer of the year award: Oops, how did this get on both polls?
OK, let's make it worst Flamer of the year. That would be either Todd (for failing to raise above high-school level insults), Raoul (he's just too nice), RL (for lowering to Todd's level) or the Vancil/Blackwell twins (too whiny)

And in the real world...........

Worst Politician of the year: Cant say it, I'd get accused of playa-hatin'

Worst Space Advocate: Umm, anyone who doesn't advocate space. Which would be pretty much all pols who dont have some NASA related activity in their state.

Worst Media Outlet of the year: Is Fox News too easy? I seem to recall back in the day when Fox aired the Moon landing fake that some here sought to differentiate Fox channel from the "respected" Fox News. Ha!
The same outlet that gave such sterling embedded reporting like "US Soldier found lynched". Despite no proof. Complete coincidence that was same day as Jessica LYNCH was captured.

*New category:
Poster who i'd like to see get a sense of humor back: Don!
