This is it, the biggie, the main prize. The winner of this award is the one that means the most to the board. The most important poster award. Without you this board would not be what it is.
To present the award for MVP we have board OG Choop. Choop, take it away!!!
-
I... I don't think Choop is here.
So...
Again, I don't have anything prepared... I'll have to wing it.
It should come as no surprise that the winner of this award is none other than Wombat!
Wombat, it's a dynasty. You've taken both of the top awards. Congratulations.
-
Although I have received checks (mostly insufficiently large) for words that I typed on a computer, as well as Paypal deposits, Amazon gift cards, and an advanced degree, this is the first time I have received an award for any of them. I am deeply honored to know that the (at last count) 75 days, 5 hours and 35 minutes that I have spent here have contributed something to the sum total of entertainment (or whatever it is that you get out of this) in your lives.
Incidentally, one of the Awesome Powers of an admin is that I could see the poll results all along. Since it is totally wrong that I should get TWO awards, I seriously considered tampering with the ballots. I leave it to you to decide whether the reason that this didn't happen was my innate honesty or my inability to figure out if there was a way to use the admin panel to change the totals.
Also, I would like to note that I was nominated for this award at the last TOUAMBIES but did not win, so I think that the encouraging lesson that we can all take away is that success comes in large part from just persisting in showing up.
Thank you for this award, and I will strive to continue to live up to it.

FIX! THE FIX IS IN! REPTILIAN 4TH DIMENSIONAL SPACE HAARPS!

Congratulations Wombat. To see the results of this vote go here (http://touamb.com/index.php/topic,5274.0.html).

Can't trust him ever since he had his ernickel removed.

Honestly I feel very honored to be nominated in this category. I don't consider myself the MVP of this board and I didn't vote for myself. But really we are all MVPs on this board. I'm proud of Wombat, the victory is well deserved and I am happy for her. Thanks to all of you who voted for me. Hi Mom!
-
Wombat, congrats on winning both these awards. I think it's safe to say that you, my dear, are the new Den Mother.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer lady.

Noooooooo!
-
I hate this, why would we do this.
BEING A DEN MOTHER IS FOR LIFE.
can't we just make up some different title for wombat.
-
I meant she's the new den mother in spirit. I'm not giving up my title, no way.
Maybe she ought to be titled "Pug Wrangler?"
-
You don't want to be ruled over by English-Speaking Pizza?
-
Noooooooo!

I for one welcome our english-speaking pizza overlords.

oh goddamnit i'm sorry the missus opened the champagne early, i told her we were awarding. damnit. we talked about this.
anyway here's my intro.
Thanks, Paul.
Ladies and gentlemen and trolls, it is my distinguished honor to present to you the MVP award. Achehead or 'Woody, touambie or assetbarbarian, we all can agree that this is one fine community populated by genuinely interesting, funny, smart, and tiresome people, and very few are those first without being that last.
This is a distinguished category, or so I'm told, and each of the nominees has contributed invaluably to the strength of our community. All of them have provided leadership, camaraderie, and humor, and each of them possesses his or her own panache that embodies every post. We'd be much worse off without any of them (I can vouch for this as I am from the internet). Let's briefly review the nominees.
Bobby Isosceles requires no introduction. Where there is a meme, he is there. Where there is bacon, he has already been. Where there is a rap battle, he dominates.
pmcd9 lives on the web, I think. His photo collections and intensely-followed hobbies are legend. The only guy creative enough to make an Art Car themed Art Car. So. fuck*ng. Meta.
AugustWest has been here forever, and this year when he was needed he took up to the reins of administrator. Plus, who else has shaken Alex Motherfuck*ng Trebek's hand? More than once?
Jay-ell is our original den mother (ODM?) and though she's had some time away from us - real life does get in the way - on her return she's proven herself the same awesome person we've known and loved for years.
Wombat stepped up this year when she was needed, into the role of Den Mother, and helped stem the tide of trolls and spammers, saving us from drowning in the filth that only the internet can provide. Along the way she helped reorganize a couple things and now we have the Not Achewood boards! Besides her incredible love for pugs and Technical Staff, she can always remind us of our true position as figments in her imagination. She's already been named the most popular this evening, but that isn't enough - she has proven, and we have confirmed, her status as Most Valuable Poster!
And now without further adieu*, I give you your MVP, Wombat! Congrats to you! YOU ARE RAD!
* provided she's online right now
-
That is pretty awesome. I mean, I love all the MVP posters, but I did vote for omba. Well played.
-
Congratulations on winning two awards. That's pretty rad.
-
Applause for the most deserving member of the board. We might even have to make you:

Not so cocky once we've had a few pints of cider, are we? I saw your parry last night, and I'd like to remind you that it's just 9:30 here and I've had enough red wine to know that my skull won't mind once shit goes down. MAN UP, LIMEY!

You get drunk on red wine? What are you, a 54 year old suburban housewife?
-
How exactly do we go about this? Do I call you names, or make generalizations about your country of residence, or both? 'Cause I've got both loaded and primed, you sodding ponce.
Also, for each post, I'm taking a shot of bourbon. I'm enough of a gentleman not to give myself an unfair advantage.

Two can play at that game. I'vea bottle of scotch. SCOTCH fuck*ng WHISKY. BOUGHT FROM THE fuck*ng BEWERY BREWERY. you can keep your sugary girly 'bourbon'
;sodding ponce'? You can do beter than that you slag. Most generic 'english' insult EVER
Bascially I'll let you take the first shot seeingf as I'm genetically superior. Generalise all you like, sunshine.
-
I am confused by the bourbon/scotch thing. I find scotch to be great, and bourbon to taste like whiskey, which I hate. But other people have reacted the same way judy is-- "scotch is hardcore." What is up with this?
Also people acting like it is weird that I like gin. What is the deal with that. How can you stomach whiskey and think that gin tastes bad?

Basicaly.
Gin is good, don't wpory abotu it man.
Scotch is 'proper' whisky (note spelling). Smoky. Beautiful. Laphroaig for instance.
'Whiskey' (note spelling). Jack Daniels. A mixer. Sugary. Neckable.
No comparison.
-
Scotch. That's adorable. Have it warm with some lemon for the headache you're going to have in the morning. I'll take my bourbon like I take my women: reddish and wet.
For someone who invented the English language, you're making a fuck*ng mess of it tonight. Did your favorite Pulp song come on at the pub and reduce you to a puddle in your giraffe and chips? Did someone mistake you for Jarvis before deciding that no, the only resemblence is the dodgy teefs and thick glasses?
My oak-aged friend from Kentucky (Jack Daniels is Tennessee shit whiskey) and I await your reply, precious.
-
Well they all come from a distillery. I dont know what kind of brewery is selling judy scotch. Also, a lot of scotch tastes like water, so I also dont see the hardcore thing about it.
Inev, have you tried New Amsterdam? Makes a mean martini.
-
The primary difference, as I understand it, is the constitution of the mash that goes into the fermenter. Bourbon has more corn than scotch, thus the sweetness. The other differences are that some scotches use peat to fuel the distiller, giving the distinctive smokey flavor, and the type of barrels used for aging. For what it's worth, I'm drinking Old Rip Van Winkle, a 10-yr old bourbon with some nice buttery and smokey flavor and a 107 proof.

Haha!
Christ I like you
I'm going to take the time to spell this right.
1) I'm going to get up tomorrow headache free and climb a mountain with a kayak on my back before kayaking back down. No doubt you'll wake up vaguely confused and upset before bemoaning the 'whiskEy and coke' you had the night before. Mixing a whisky with a soft drink? Bloody hell man. Only Americans.
2) Apologies but I've had a fuck of a lot to drink. Insult Pulp again and I'll nut you, the only resemblance I have to 'Jarvis' is the sparkling wit and hairy, often-shown arse. Your country wishes it could produce such a brilliant man, other than David Byrne who (like me) is called Dave and is 90% Scottish anyway.
3) Take your sugary bollocks and stick it up your, well, bollocks. You have done nothing to convince me I am inferior here.

I assure you that my whiskey unmolested by any sugared water. We may be fighting, but that's just uncivilized.
I shudder to think of what qualifies as a mountain in your neck of the woods, but given that my hometown is flatter than Lily Allen, I have little room for boasting. Do enjoy your trip to the waterpark, though. Don't forget your floaties. Mum will be waiting at the concession stand to buy you a popsicle if you're brave and do the big slide.
Beyond that, I'll see your Cocker and raise you...well, shit. Jarvis is rather the bee's knees, so I can't really bring myself to knock him. I'd just be another cunt running the world.
Your superiority to me here in this context is hardly to be question, darlin'. I've been raised too well to take pleasure in tearing down those whose company I enjoy. However, that's what acid is for. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqbwGHqsb9A)
On that note, I'm off to boff the wife. Cheers!

In that case, apologies.
Whilst I concede that England is not famous for it's above-sea-level height (highest peak: 3,209 ft, Scafell Pike) and Lily Allen is pretty flat (and shit) I assure you this trek tomorrow is no picnic. Rest assured if my 'mom' (christing hell what an aberration of a word) is at the bottom I'll applaud her for buying a 'popsicle', whatever the fuck that is. And concessions too slightly throws me in it's utter uselessness as a word.
See we cherish our mothers here rather than use them as cheap insults. For shame, mate.
Really though, you're a gentleman. I'd treat you to a pint of Pale Rider if I wasn't worried you'd screw your face up and ask if they had any soft drinks, such as Corrs or Budweiser.
Enjoy boffing your wife. I hope it leaves you with the same happiness I felt boffing the wonderful girl I was with last night and who I will not see for a year at least. I only got 5 days with her, that's hardly fair.
Hence my aggression.
Have a good one.

I'd buy you a pint in a heartbeat. We've got a couple of spunky microbrews around here, and one particularly good Imperial Stout among them.
So for those of you keeping score at home: Corrs = hot Irish women with fiddles. Coors = shit American beer made by aspiring politicians.
Good luck with the long distance. If it's any consolation, the Wife and I were separated by 1200 miles for most of our courtship. It doesn't suck any less, but it does get better, if that makes sense.
-
yes, my parents dated for several years from opposite sides of the country. and look how that turned out, now they have a son who posts on internet boards about cartoon cats.

I brew my own, definitely the way to go. I'm intrigued by the Imperial Stout and only wish I could cast my discerning liver towards it.
Ouch about the Corrs. Typo or not (I'm not sure) that is pretty bad. Sorry.
I do understand. My last girl I was with we went long distance (due to moving to different unis) and we were only about 100 miles apart and it wouldn't work. Fuck I was 18 (only 19 now), I guess in that situation at that age it's hard. In Britain as well everything's so close together, I don't feel I really appreciate how things can work over distances like that. 1200 is much bigger than any distance I could achieve on these isles. I'm glad things have worked out, I only hope I can be so mature to let something like that work in future. Thank you for the well-wishing but I feel me and Sophie will have to forget about each other, so it goes.

Damn, that fight was shaping up to be a rarity in its beauty and now it's all "congrats mate on your balls-deepedness, I salute you." Sigh. Either way, Ted, you are truly the man.

I'm a lover and all can't bring mhyself to fight a fellow chap of quality. Way too drunk to put up much of a fight so.
Inev - I genuinely love you, I would hug you
AC- Distillery yes, you have exposed me again foer the drunken cock that I am

That might be the worst movie ever made.
I don't remember it being that bad. Inexplicably, it got a second first-run theater release a few months after it flopped the first time.

Sorry to disappoint, but as the Britisher said, I'm not much of a fighter. An Internet slap-fight is about as intense as I can handle.
-
Wow, I...
I have never seen people get actually drunk and pick a virtual fight before.
I picked the wrong day to give up drinkin'.
-
Thank you Ted and Judy for a fine laff. Twatblanket, indeed. Have fun kayakin' down that mountain.

It did not go well.
Hungover and tired I hurt myself a lot and wanted to die.
Felt good though.

Catharsis through physical activity is a beautiful thing. Catharsis with a head injury, less so. Congrats on staying on the proper side of that line.

That fight reminds me of ["My hat is off to you for that wonderful joke!"].
