I nominate Kaydene. Not only did she show me the way to one of my new favourite bands, The Decemberists, but she's made constructive contributions all over KW. I'm looking forward to checking out half of her book recommendations in Gen Lit, as the other half are ones that I would've recommended too!

I nominate Vader. Only newbie I recall racking up a significant number of posts in the Tank. That takes stones.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

While I absolutely agree with all of the above, there is only one person missing: Dread Poet Jethro. Especially since there is no "Best Gimmick Troll" category, which he would win hands down.

So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

oooohhhhh come on. don't be a stickler.
the nomination even has seconds already! 
and...sheriff saidwhich i totally agree with. first post is in 2009 so come on.Syl wrote:Eh, the rules don't say anything about a registration date. Considering the spirit of the award and the fact that his first post is in 2009, why not? If anything, I think we should encourage people who take the time to see how everything works before posting, showing a kind of dedication that doesn't lead to the majority of posters in the introduction thread to disappear within a handful of posts.
