606v2 2012 awards - category suggestions please!

First topic message reminder :

Hey all

With the end of the year coming up, I thought it would be nice to show some appreciation to my fellow board members.
So, I think we should have an end of year awards ceremony! There will be ten categories and all who wish to participate will PM me their nominees (listed in single file like when we did for sheep quiz) and I will tally them up and declare winners around Xmas.
The expiry date for entry will be December 10th, shall we say, which will give me plenty of time to tally and reveal winners before Chrimbo.

What I need from you guys is categories to include. Offer them up today, tomorrow and over the weekend and I will pick the best ten questions and post them on Monday or Tuesday.

Only rule will be that you can't nominate yourself. When I post the questions next week you WILL be able to nominate Windy for any category you see fit. It’s only right after all he did for this forum.

So, I need categories men!
So far I have one

Who is the funniest poster on 606v2?

Improve on this, please!

Let's keep the questions uplifting, too

The Shepherd award for best player of sheep.

The southpaw20 award for angriest poster.

The cowboy award for weirdest questions put forward for QandA's

The award award for best idea for an award.

The award for getting blocked by the most verified boxing accounts on twitter.

Suspect you have possibly explained why they are fat there.

AHAHAHAHAHAH much too easy

Nice idea Sean, could i suggest naming an "award" after our dear departed friend Human Windmill? Its a nice way to show our respect by putting his name on something he would have appreciated i.e. The Windmill award for thread of the year/ poster of the year etc?

Also in homage to round of the year, best back and forth of the year, where two posters have fought there corners at all costs, although that pretty much guarentees Az an award as he is always in an argument with someone!

I think I should be nominated for "coolest username".

You do realise that 'BOON' is another word for benefit, so your coolest user name is Super Benefits?

The Human windmill Triumph in Adversity Award.

Erm, I believe it will be a toss up (stop it) between my brilliant Peter Jackson threads and my equally brilliant Bradley Pryce threads.

The Human Windmill "Total inability to drag oneself out of quarterwit-dom into the land of the sane" award (perhaps a bit wordy and it might cost a few quid to have the plaque engraved but I like it!!!)

The post the made your jaw drop award

The post that made you laugh most award

Also there should be a special award to paperbag puncher for bringing sheep to the masses. By the way where is he?

James J Jeffries was just a tough pub fighter.

you could shorten that to "THE HUMAN WINDWILL - WAINGRO AWARD, but it doesnt have the same ring to it. Also i will vote for your Peter Jackson article if i get an honourable mention, i believe twas on the old 606 my 'Jump on the BandWagon' Thread led to your Peter Jackson Epiphany, consider it the falling apple to your gravity discovery

Not sure if it was this year or last but waingro informing us all that wlad and vitali are brothers was awesome!

Amen to that, although I also have a lot of time for Gordy's claim that Lewis won the first McCall fight.

Ooh well said Jeff! It would be quite a battle between those two for a winner.

Hi guys

for all those who care to remember the 606 awards was actually started by yours truely when I posted under the name champshere on the old bbc 606.

I have posted links to anyone asking for tips. If you read my effort you will see that I was the perfect host and even added a funny intro please take a look.

Yeah, that was brilliant Geoff. If my memory serves me right Gordy said he classes that as a points win for Lewis.

Fix of the year.

Best game of the year. Several to choose from in this category

Best Tom Berenger look-a-like?

Spoiler:

Those were the days...

The eggy face award is a good one.

Should do the most bias/most stubborn award too.

Grumpiest poster

The Chavez Jr award for most likely to have moved to Colorado and be skinning up right now.

4 - No Chance

How about one for the stuff at the top of the page that I always see as an inconvenience and scroll past as quickly as possible to get to the enlightening threads about slave contracts or thinking of a funny caption for David Haye's bum.

Career in Video, Book Reviews, Hall of Fame, it all takes effort and deserves to be recognised.

I'm not sure how to word it. Best Ongoing Contribution? Champion of Unheralded Perseverance? Commitment to Actually Having Something Useful on Here?

Something like that.

Something like that.

Union has got 'best ongoing contribution' sewn up with his reverse linear threads. Years ahead of his time.

Maybe so mate. I liked his ones about who currently holds old Olympic gold medals too. Both great.

There's no way that either of those could win any Commitment to Actually Having Something Useful on Here award though, one would hope.

Agreed, in no way could reverse linear be seen as useful or constructive. I miss them though

To be honest, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your topics Rowley. I didn't post because frankly I bring no knowledge to the table or insight. I will in future if you like just say "Good read" but I don't think that even remotely does justice to the hard work you put into the Colour Line Greats topics, especially your topic about Godfrey. So I don't think its under appreciated, I just (like a few more I'd imagine) feel like dunces when it comes to boxing history so we tend to avoid the conversation and just soak up your knowledge when offered

In terms of the awards, some categories already named are brilliant. I think we should all put our heads together and come up with some fitting tribute for Windy, or even something for his family, just a private collection and some flowers sent or something (I'd happily contribute) or is that a bit sad/taking it a bit far?

Haven't really added much in this post have I? I'll have a think - just wanted to let Rowley know his topics are appreciated.

Cheers JM, I am nowhere near as offended as I make out on here, I find their lack of responses to be part of their charm, I also know if all else fails I can knock up some Lennox Lewis thread again

I see his desperate need for attention has finally rubbed off on you, Jabmeister.

Or did you just feel a sense of unity with a kindred spirit?

No offence Jabmachine, I think you're a good poster but, Tino, that was good.

Great banter

I think the only rubbing off around here nowadays is Gordy over pictures of Lennox Lewis though....

Aye, you do have to think the nuthugger of the year award could be a foregone conclusion, there is only potentially Rycos with his Haye obsession who may even give Gordy a run for his money

I'm still in shock at the Haye beats Foreman post - it's not far shy of Jamie Moore beats Sugar Ray Robinson.
