</music>
The time has come to announce the winners of the October 2007 Usenet
Kook Awards. Envelopes, please!
<music>drumroll</music>
KOOK OF THE MONTH
The winner is...ZANTHIUS AKA DR. DRUGGIE!
10 votes Zanthius AKA Dr. Druggie
06 votes Ernie Primeau
01 votes Neither of the above
Congratulations, InZany! Your insistence that you're an alien and that
you're looking forward to the extinction of humanity were wonderful
qualifications for this award. Getting in a fight with Alexa, one of the
few people who might actually believe you, didn't hurt your chances either.
CLUELESS NEWBIE OF THE MONTH
The winner is...CHIEF THRACIAN!
11 votes Chief Thracian
03 votes Petey of alt.folklore.ghost-stories
02 votes The poster last in PDX in 2003
00 votes None of the above
Congratulations, Chief! Your whining about trolls to AUK, then threatening
to netcop the people who were trying to give you a clue made you a runaway
winner.
COWARD OF THE MONTH
The winner is...BILL ------!
15 votes Bill ------
05 votes Raymond Karczewski
01 votes Neither of the above
Congratulations, Bizarro! For the second time in three months your threats
of inflicting real-life harm on your online opponents for words on a screen
have earned you this award. Good thing for those who wish to recognize
other deserving individuals that you can only win this award once more
between now and next August.
JOSEPH BARTLO MEMORIAL PATHETIC ---- PINEAPPLE AWARD
The winner is...BILL ------!
15 votes Bill ------
06 votes Michael "Howdy/Trumpet of the Lord" Schmidt
01 votes Neither of the above
Congratulations again, Bizarro! There is a reason why the "Bill ------
'Golden Goat ******** of Nonsense'" was the runner-up for an award
recognizing "a pattern of stupidity, idiocy, moronism, silliness, cretinism
and general kookery" and this month you displayed that reason in spades!
PALMJOB PADDLE
The winner is...JIM RILEY!
12 votes Jim Riley
10 votes Michael "Howdy/Trumpet of the Lord" Schmidt
00 votes Neither of the above
Congratulations, Jim! Not only were your efforts to suck up to the Big-8
Management Board mocked by the B8MBies' critics, they were rebuffed by the
Board itself. So, are you going to bend over again in front of news.groups
this month and say, "Thank you, sir. May I have another?"
TONY SIDAWAY DRAMA QUEEN AWARD
The winner is...MICHAEL "HOWDY/TRUMPET OF THE LORD" SCHMIDT!
10 votes Michael "Howdy/Trumpet of the Lord" Schmidt
07 votes Babaloonie posting as nuke lalouche addington
01 votes Neither of the above
Congratulations, Howdy! This has been an epic exercise in attention
seeking for you this month, beginning with your meltdown over the deletion
of your vanity Wikipedia article (it wasn't any of your USENET enemies; it
was the Wikipedia editing team, who think you're just not notable enough),
continuing through your k'lame that one of your accounts was hacked (it
wasn't; someone merely spoofed your address), and climaxing with your
advertising a vintage horn in the face of massive mocking. With all that,
it's no surprise that you defeated a mission poster who has been melting
down on AUK nonstop for the past two years.
VICTOR VON FRANKENSTEIN WEIRD SCIENCE AWARD
The winner is...ZANTHIUS AKA DR. DRUGGIE!
18 votes YES
00 votes NO
Congratulations again, InZany! While your heterodox ideas about the
cosmic redshift were what earned you the nomination for this award, your
other scientific eccentricities certainly helped make you a unanimous
winner.
GEORGE PICKETT MEMORIAL TROPHY
The winner is...BILL ------!
21 votes YES
00 votes NO
Congratulations a final time, Bizarro! Your crusade to have Databasix
suffer a USENET Death Penalty certainly /looked/ like it was a rousing
success--for one day. Too bad it was merely Gary moving over to a new
server.
SPECIAL OPS CODY MEMORIAL PURPLE HEART
The winner is...TIM "THREE ------- WEEKS" THORNE!
17 votes Tim "Three ------- Weeks" Thorne
05 votes Bill ------
00 votes Neither of the above
Congratulations, Dimmy! Posting a poll to determine that you pwned Aratzio
in a lame war was a real effective tactic. Rilly.
TAR AND FEATHERS
The winner is...THE BIG-8 MANAGEMENT BOARD!
20 votes YES
03 votes NO
Congratulations, B8MBies! Your attempts at "obvious group creation" didn't
work so well, especially since there was an active alt.* group who didn't
think think they needed your help. So, are any of you going to play World
of Warcraft on a Player vs. Player server any time soon?
MINISTRY OF CIRCLE JERKS
The winner is...THE BIG-8 MANAGEMENT BOARD!
16 votes Big-8 Management Board
06 votes Saucerheads of alt.astronomy
Congratulations a second time, B8MBies! Your shared delusions of power and
importance, in addition to your imperviousness to legitimate criticism,
have catapulted you back into this office over its longtime repeat tenants,
the Saucerheads. I'd wish you a long term in office, but you might take
that to mean something else entirely.
This concludes the announcement of the winners of the October 2007
Usenet Kook Awards. Twenty-seven people submitted twenty-seven ballots.
One of these was a flame submission from a disenfranchised notorious
net.kook. Fluffy appreciated the new filler in his litter box.
Consequently, twenty-six ballots were deemed valid and counted.
See you all next month, when Christmas shopping should be in full swing all
over the English-speaking world. Until then, enjoy and all hail Ming, Bob,
and Fluffy!
And now, a special recessional in honor of this month's big w(h)inner--Bill
------, who /still/ thinks he's Superman, when in reality he's merely
Bizarro.

Amazing... down to the wire, the Multi-limb Beast pulls mindlessly
ahead of the pack, leaving Jim-boy, in a daze, marching arm-in-arm
with a Kook blowing his own horn, 1st across the wire is inZany
followed by Llewdellen Huges running neck and neck with the mindless
beast called B*MBie...

Re: WINNERS! Usenet Kook Awards, October 2007
This is that little coward too afraid to use it's name and address,
who's only way to get attention is to make a fool of it's self. With an
obsession with goats, and other *******, and writes via remailers, and cross
posts to other perverts to no one's surprise. With extreme jealous ranting
over my documents, possessions, successes, manliness and super Southern
California body. You remind me of a little rat dog, like a Mexican Chiwawa
with its senseless barking it's rabid head off, me too, me too. What a pity!
Why don't you call my friends at the San Diego Sheriffs Department at
858-974-2020 as you said you would, but haven't! YOU NEED HELP!
I'm having difficulty in believing just how much of a coward you are,
didn't you have parent that were responsible enough to list themselves in
the phonebook????? I pity you!!!!!! Maricón acosador!
God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O
