The 2010 Greekies

[thegreekdog]

It's that time of year again (and by "again" I mean for the second time)...

THE 2010 GREEKIES

For those that aren't aware, every year for the past one year, we've had awards for the best of the best in the off-topics forum or SIB (f/k/a Monkey Business). This year we have some new awards and we've taken a few away. Please send me your nominations via PM or you can post them here.

Rules
- Please do not flame, troll, bait, or otherwise derail this thread. People liked these awards last year and I would like to keep this going.
- All awards should be for SIB. Some users may make witty or intelligent posts in general discussions or the foundry, but they can have their own awards.
- More of a guideline than a rule, please send or post nominees on all items and feel free to send or post more than one nominee per item.

And a couple Post of the year nominations.

Area 51 will become the 51st State, and henceforth all illegal aliens will be their problem.

Subject: Decades of Rock

All I can say is (in no particular order) - "oops," "sorry," "thanks," "f*ck off."

I'll make some edits.

I agree. Metsfan should get dibs on sloppy seconds.

[Serbia]

I'll nominate "This is my word" for Best Meme.
Mostly because every category needs a nominee who cannot possibly win.

This is my word.

[Timminz]

29. Serbia's mom is easier than winning a Greekie.

- Post of the Year:

Can jonesey and I teach the fun of math on Day 3? I'm a certified math teacher (I looooove math!) and jonesey makes everything funny so it wouldn't be too brutal I was thinking of doing "The Art of Word Problems".

-Sully

Let me guess, something like:

1) TGD is stealing tequilla from TBK's cabin. TGD manages to steal half as many bottles as the AK=47s in BBS's cabin, and BBS's AK-47 stash is three times as large as targetman's vocabulary. Unfortunately, targetman's vocabulary is only four words larger than the number of ponies squishyg is hoping to ride. If squishyg wants to ride two fewer ponies than the number of aces Pedronicus will be hiding up his sleeve, and Pedronicus will be hiding an ace in each of his six sleeves, how many rules will be broken at Camp Saxi?

2) Morgan P. Wells has a certain number of pieces of Scotch tape. In order to make friends, each night he decides to tape helpful tax advice to the cabin doors of guests that he has stalked during the day. Graph the power function y = x cubed plus C that represents the rate at which Morgan's creepiness increases, where x is the number of times that InsomniaRed tells Morgan that she will not go with him to one of The Greek Dog's nightly orgies, y is the amount of time elapsed in seconds, and C is a constant based upon Morgan's innate serial-killer quality.
