I think all this talk about 'Member of The Decade' does a disservice to the Forum as a whole, since we should be focusing on the stunning, come-from-behind victory in the 'Funniest Member' category.
Let's try to keep our attention on the things that matter, folks.

Tiberius just wants to win an award, and he thinks he has a good shot at that one.

ADA violation, I think.

The only Ada I know of is this one, and violation is the last thing I would associate:
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I thank you for those very sweet, kind words, but I am quite sure there are many who are far better. ShellB comes to mind. There are so many here that I admire and wish I was more like. Sad to say, but one day, I might just fall off that pedestal you've placed me on, Squishy.
My life experiences continue to shape who I am. The things I have dealt with in the last five years alone, have caused me to become somewhat calloused towards others. Perhaps that's where my spine lays in my ability to not take shit from others. But often, it leaves me feeling cold and unwanting. Not necessarily uncaring, but just perhaps a little less sympathetic than I would have been had those experiences not have happened. I'm not a fan of my own life and when I look back, I have regret with much of my adult life so far.
But I thank you for admiring this old woman. Your words mean so much to me. Generally, the only time I ever hear anything kind is on this forum. I wish I could say I get the same sort of feels from the other adult in my house.
Ah, don't worry about that... there's plenty enough for everyone; I've got a lot of pedestals... a whole pantheon of them It goes with the territory I guess of having low self-esteem. But at the end of the day, pedestal or no, I care about you very much I know no-one's perfect and everyone's got their own crosses to bear.... I've got plenty of own too and given the chance to do life again, I'd do a lot of things different... idealisation (ie putting people on pedestals) is a nice feeling but it's unrealistic; what transcends it imo is friendship, and really getting to know people. So don't worry about falling off any pedestals cos we're already past that; we're just good friends

I voted Minimalist as sexiest member (did you see the photo of him in his bathing suit?), and yet he didn't even place.
Whaaaaaat?? You didn't vote for ME Tazzy/Wololo??? Come on now. We all know how much you love me....
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
