WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.

WannaBe: So, again, the worker expressed and exercised the 1st amendment right(s), whether suspension is warrented or not is up to company/union policy. Not the administration, because this will be 0-9 in the Supreme Court. Another individual (who happens to be the president) also exercised ...

WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS

WannaBe: <OCF> Not to mention when TV stations switch red (dem) and blue (rep) to what we know today... On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down. Go fig.

Best Handle = <e4ia>

<WannaBe> Best Chessforum Name could be another category for a site award. Maybe hold a special vote at the end of the other voting. =)

Dec-19-08  malthrope: Come on <Woody> and <Nako> !

Jess understands the importance of following the rules as set up by <WannaBe>.

<JFQ: OK <Official Votes> for the next two caterpillars in <Caissar Awards Show> (as seen on MTV)>

Vote for only <two caterpillars> at a time! :)) <grin>

Makes it much easier for <WannaBe>, so he doesn't have to scroll 'back-back-back' and locate who voted for whom and where? Plus, it defeats the purpose of voting for only two caterpillars at a time, as then <everyone can see> the current voting in process without having to scroll backwards! (except maybe the previous page). ;)

This isn't a paid assignment for <WannaBe>. He does this as a labor of love! :)))

End of rant... 'nuff said. :^) - Mal

PS: <WannaBe> - like you I also failed to find a way to link directly to Annie's "Profile" page (because of that darn period [.]) ~Argh~ However, one can link back to her page via the kibitzing route like this: Annie K. chessforum :))

PPS: <tpstar: [...] <WannaBe> Best Chessforum Name could be another category for a site award. Maybe hold a special vote at the end of the other voting. =)>

Tony -- Excellent point made--a terrific idea and suggestion. :) I second that special nomination and award! <grin>

Dec-19-08  Woody Wood Pusher: <mal><Come on <Woody> and <Nako> !

Jess understands the importance of following the rules as set up by <WannaBe>>

Sorry, but I have not done this before. Where are the rules? and how do I know which category is up for the vote?

I'm not clear about the set up I'm afraid.

Dec-19-08  NakoSonorense: Revised vote:

best historian: <anyone but malthrope>

xD

Dec-19-08  NakoSonorense: I wanted to vote early only because I don't think I'll login in during the weekend and I wanted to submit my vote just like every responsible cg.com user should.
Dec-19-08  malthrope: <Woody Wood Pusher: [...] Sorry, but I have not done this before. Where are the rules? and how do I know which category is up for the vote?

Woody - it's easy! :) Just follow what the majority are doing! Right now the <two caterpillars> we are voting on are:

"Best Avatar" and "Best Handle" <grin>

<WannaBe> generally post his official Caissar awards announcements (which two caterpillars the votes are now be taken for) at the - The Kibitzer's Café

If all else fails -- just ask! :^) - Mal

Dec-19-08  malthrope: <NakoSonorense: Revised vote:

Spoil sport! ~lol~ ;)
