As the time for opening our Advent calendars approaches, I thought it might be fun to think back on the year in tunes. I don't have any real idea where this might go, but obviously some categories could be: Funniest Thread, Best Original Tune, Chief O'Neill Award for Most Tunes Posted, etc. In fact, if voting would be postponed til January, some folks might even strive towards winning some recoginition in some as yet unnamed category, like, Muso Most Likely to Wrap His/Her Fiddle Bow Around Neighboring Whistle Player, or Lurker Most Likely to Stun Members with Philosophical Insight.... et cetera.
Anyway, just a thought. Category suggestions &/or nominations welcome.
"Thread That Ended Up Most Off-Course"
"Thread That Included the Greatest Number of Off-Topic Topics"
"Thread That Got Hijacked the Quickest" and its counterpart, "Thread That Survived The Longest Before Hijack"
I was *just* going to ask how you find out about a thread that got deleted if it got deleted before you found out about... never mind, long day.
Oh, and of course, first prize in the "Most Creative Member Profile" category, as well as second prize, third prize and Highly Commended go to... the envelope, please.... Lord Harmon!!!!
(The only challenge in that one is working out which of his profiles actually won which particular prize.)
BTW when people post *snort*, what does it supposed to sound like if you read it aloud? Is it like when someone makes you laugh suddenly when you've got a cold and you accidentally snot up all over the place? Or is it like a sucky-in snort like when you imitate the noise a pig makes?
Most entertaining member and most irritating?
I'm not allowed to mention who she is but this gorgeous person was probably responsible for most of the thread deletions and hi-jacks during the summer,
a couple of threads have been deleted this year. Some of them started a bit side tracks and left this universe in lightspeed (e.g. touched american foreign politics from the viewpoint of an anti war ir trad muso and became kind of pro war bashing vs. anti war bashing) or became cyber massacres because something/someone hit the red button of someone elses unbalanced emotional constitution ... now Q I hope you have an idea
*snort* is common!? *snort* is COMMON? LOL Jeremy Ball, Kevin, did you read that? hehehe. Besides which, BTW, I meant to tell you, your count is now off, because other people use it so much these days.
Mark, there are all kinds of *snorts*. There's the *snort* that is a surprised laugh, the rather delicate *snort* of a disbelieving or disdainful person (which is more definite than a *snif*), of course the rooting of a contented porcine personage, and also of course the snorting of someone who is laughing so hard that their diaphram has frozen up.
Geoff Politt knows who the T person was! And so do some of our Scottish members. (Suggestive of anything to anyone?) So I suggest we all bombard him with e-mails until he gives.
Since the T person was actually a windup and not an actual person, I don't believe s/he counts. (Although of course we had to give said T person benefit of doubt, since of COURSE none of our regulars could be so infantile and immature to want to unkindly wind people up, and treat her/him as a real person in case s/he was. *snort*) I think that would have to go to the few -- in fact I think there's only two ever -- who could actually irritate Sensei Harmon enough to lose his temper enough to snap in writing online.
How about "TheSession members who no longer post that we miss the most"? JeffK would be my pick on that one, although there's more than a few I miss...
Hey, emily_az, sounds like a great idea, although I am still quite new to the session, so I probably won't know of any really funny, long, boring or inventive previous threads or such to nominate. Even though I can't really be of much help in that way, I would still love to see how the whole thing turns out. Oh, and if there is anything an inexperienced person like me can do, let me know. Thanks!
Trevor I"m sorry, we can accept "Slow Death" as it was posted back in January, but that "Most Hated" goes back to 2002.
As for my foot hygiene, well, yes, I do try to use Odor Eaters in certain cheap type shoes! LMAO as Will won't let me forget. I work long hours on my feet & I also work out (shorter hours), so, I'm a little paranoid. FWIW, Will seems to think I favor open-toe flesh color clogs, but if that were the case, I wouldn't need the OE's would I? Sorry, Will, there are very closed toe.
Wow I've met Emin online, only it's like 6am here because I've been drinking since 6pm yesterday. Basically I've transferred my Australian lifestyle to Okinawa, and, I have to say, Okinawa absolutely rocks. Okinawa is the Asian Ireland! I urge you all to go *right now* - I'll pay your airfare goddammit. The people are the friendliest in Asia, and everyone seems to be musical to some degree. I've teamed up with some people who play Okinawan trad music in pub sessions and am trying my best to do stuff with it on DADGAD guitar. I have to say, Irish trad backing is not a skill you can use with other genres easily BTW. Tonight I have played lots of music with the locals and drank my fill of alcohol and the barman wouldn't take any money from me so I got p!ssed for free!
Hmm - yes Dow - cant wait to get to Okinawan - all those cute little stories involving the Mafia and stuff, just wait while I get my coat and I'll be right over
My Least Favourite Person, Who Can't Play An Instrument, But Has The Stupidity To Not Only Make Negative Veiled References To Me On This Site But To Send Really **NASTY** Emails To Me Via This Web Site About How Shite Is My Musical Ability....hell, I've only been on the flute 20 years!
I'll let you all guess who she is.
God - what's happening to me? Why should I care about the outpourings of such a loser/psycho?
I suppose to expose the psycho-freako. Don't be taken in.
Thanks Andee You've been a lovely E-friend of mine for a fair while - And I'm right now in the mood to totally *OUT* the begrudger. I've let it fester for the best part of 2 weeks - I thought.... be mature - this person doesn't even play.
Och aye, I already said as much on the punters thread. Let's find out who the Member Most Resembling Solomon is.... I don't think it will be me. MMRS, please step forward!
LOL bubbola, oy gevalt! Well there are several, but the classic one is the 2 moms who lived together & both claimed a child was theirs as the other one had died overnight. Solomon brought out a sword & said he would give half of the child to each woman, & while the fake mom agreed, the real mom begged to spare the child's life, even at the risk of giving him over to her opponent. It became instantly clear who the real mother was.
I don't think this parable actually has much to do with the current situation, simply that Solomon was noted for his wisdom & creative problem solving. Wasn't he also the one who suggested slicing through the Gordian knot?
LOL Andee, actually yes you can have a true knot in an umbilical cord if the baby does a somersault through it while she's still small & there's enough fluid. Can be quite dangerous, as you can imagine, but thankfully very rare.
PS Andee my parents just bought a house in Baltimore with a pool, a deck, & a tiki bar. What the heck is a tiki bar? In any case, would you be available this summer some weekend to play some tunes? I'd LOVE to hear some of your harp music.
Tiki bar--I'm picturing pseudo Polynesian or Hawaiin sculpture, the bar all made of wood with a straw/thatched roof, drinks with umbrellas in them, lots of coconuts around for decoration, torches lit at night, that kind of thing. Almost like Gillilgan's Island in a way...
Watch out Danu!!!!! You guys are SOOOO adorable! Ok sure I haven't listened to the soundfiles yet, but surely there must be an award out there somewhere.... Best New Band Resembling the Lil' Rascals? You guys rock, thanks for posting all those links Max, they're totally fabulous!
Emily -- "Best New Band Resembling the Lil' Rascals" That's not exactly what we aspired to become when we started out. BTW -- the soundfiles on my profile aren't of the band, their just of me. We will record something soon though. And also, my dad just bought a digital camera, and I am totally going nuts over it and taking photos of everything. (band included) Don't be surprised if you see a bunch of new photos and popping up on my profile. Oh, and even better, it will also make three minute videos too! (Darn, I'll need to expand my hosting plan!)
Emily, how about "Best Memory From A Thread That Got Deleted Before You Found Out Why It Got Deleted"?
My nomination for this category is the bluegrass band in the freezer - I reckon that was as funny as the shaky egg thread. I've heard the term "stone cold bluegrass" used to distinguish hardcore trad from "newgrass" but, well, it gave a whole new meaning to the term!
(Was it Yohan who discovered that frozen peas make a pretty good shaky egg substitute in an emergency?)
Hmmm hadn't given it much thought, Martin, but you're definitely up for something. *grin* I don't think it could be 'official' without Jeremy's participation, but am more prone to think it's a silly diversion, like yearbook voting. If ppl were seriously interested, we could form a committee... we'll be just like the Quakers! Otherwise, if it's just in good fun, I'll be happy to organize a post in the new year, summarizing suggestions during this month. However, I don't want any hurt feelings or folks being left out, so I'm leaning toward nothing serious! (My vote for fave thread that got deleted was mine entitled "Group Hug.") As for freezers, I don't think we're allowed to say that word anymore!
Q can have it. Right now I'm busy writing my acceptance speech for the "Most Likely to End Up In the Bath Clutching Flute Porn from the Internet" award.
I'm sorry, but Most Deftly Managed On-screen Identity Change must surely go to Mad Baloney/Touchy McPheelie Brad... I forget some of his others. Orpheus.... Hmmm how about On-screen Name Most Homophonic to a Character from the Matrix? I don't recall anybody named Infinity or Leo.... I do believe Newest Newcomer would technically trump all with a last-minute Welcome thread just before midnight on New Years Eve.
Yeah, I was kinda being funny there, Em, I hope Mr Underpants wasn't trying to slip past incognito - outed by name within one post and it hijacks the whole thread from there on!

Re: session superlatives 2003
Emily -- "Best New Band Resembling the Lil' Rascals" That's not exactly what we aspired to become when we started out.
BTW -- the soundfiles on my profile aren't of the band, their just of me. We will record something soon though. And also, my dad just bought a digital camera, and I am totally going nuts over it and taking photos of everything. (band included) Don't be surprised if you see a bunch of new photos and popping up on my profile. 
Oh, and even better, it will also make three minute videos too! (Darn, I'll need to expand my hosting plan!) 
Thanks for the encouraging words!

Emily, how about "Best Memory From A Thread That Got Deleted Before You Found Out Why It Got Deleted"?
My nomination for this category is the bluegrass band in the freezer - I reckon that was as funny as the shaky egg thread. I've heard the term "stone cold bluegrass" used to distinguish hardcore trad from "newgrass" but, well, it gave a whole new meaning to the term!
(Was it Yohan who discovered that frozen peas make a pretty good shaky egg substitute in an emergency?)

Emily -- "Chief O'Neill Award for Most Tunes Posted" I would nominate Gian Marco, with 222 tunes posted.

Re: session superlatives 2003
Is anyone collating these? When do we get to vote? Can I nominate myself for the 'newest newcomer to be nominated for an award' award?

Re: session superlatives 2003
Hmmm hadn't given it much thought, Martin, but you're definitely up for something. *grin* I don't think it could be 'official' without Jeremy's participation, but am more prone to think it's a silly diversion, like yearbook voting. If ppl were seriously interested, we could form a committee... we'll be just like the Quakers! Otherwise, if it's just in good fun, I'll be happy to organize a post in the new year, summarizing suggestions during this month. However, I don't want any hurt feelings or folks being left out, so I'm leaning toward nothing serious! (My vote for fave thread that got deleted was mine entitled "Group Hug.") As for freezers, I don't think we're allowed to say that word anymore!

Re: session superlatives 2003
Perhaps we could have Martin up for "Most Likely to End Up In the Bath Clutching Flute Porn from the Internet" or some such...

Well, the old almond oil *does* have more than one use
Don't know what your favourite 'flute porn' site is Zina, but here's one I found earlier.

Re: session superlatives 2003
Conway, wouldn't you have to slug it out with Q for the newest newcomer nominated category?
# Posted on December 4th 2003 by Tish
Re: session superlatives 2003
I nominate Orpheus for the "Most Deftly Managed On-Screen Identity Change."

Re: session superlatives 2003
Q can have it. Right now I'm busy writing my acceptance speech for the "Most Likely to End Up In the Bath Clutching Flute Porn from the Internet" award.

Re: session superlatives 2003
You might have to share it with MG playing whistle.
(The bath, that is, not the award.)

Re: session superlatives 2003
That's OK, I'm not proud!

Re: session superlatives 2003
BTW, that is MG as in McGoldrick? Well, that's what I thought ...

Re: session superlatives 2003
I'm sorry, but Most Deftly Managed On-screen Identity Change must surely go to Mad Baloney/Touchy McPheelie Brad... I forget some of his others. Orpheus.... Hmmm how about On-screen Name Most Homophonic to a Character from the Matrix? I don't recall anybody named Infinity or Leo.... I do believe Newest Newcomer would technically trump all with a last-minute Welcome thread just before midnight on New Years Eve.

Re: session superlatives 2003
Yeah, I was kinda being funny there, Em, I hope Mr Underpants wasn't trying to slip past incognito - outed by name within one post and it hijacks the whole thread from there on!
