It's just like you guys to take a perfectly serious thread about a freakshow of a person and turn it into something dirty.

New Category: Best Use of FF
Nominee--HMO for organizing a 48-person BUS TRIP, that Super said would never happen; my understanding is that Dwayne Carson announced in Convo that students should go to FF to register for the trip, meaning about 9,000 students heard about FF that way.

AG
Fumble should win this easily, and probably should have the award renamed after him; but I also miss Peter Parker, who never posts anymore.

It's funny how different the 2 posters were despite being the same person. I really didn't like AG. But I did like Fumble. I had no idea they were the same person until somebody mentioned it after his death.

AG means "Another Guest." It comes back from the old Firehouse where guests could post. People always posted as guest, so to make his different, he posted as "Another Guest" and later shortened it to A.G.

Rogers3, the Firehouse days were before my time. Thanks for filling us in on that, Super. I couldn't have answered the question myself.

Wow. I feel really stupid. I missed all of that about Fumble, AG. That makes so much more sense now.

Neither of those comes anywhere close to the guy who keeps showing up in the basketball forum every season.

You forgot Political Poster of the Year, currently held by Ed Dantes. I nominate Matshark for that one.

Anyway, my nominations are:

Best Female Poster
flamefan1971

Most Informative Poster
Chris Lang

Thread of the Year
LU Prof Writes Article (or something like...the one where I came out of the closet on here, I personally feel like that is a great moment on FF.com, something to show the world that while gays and LU and most LU alums/friends don't see eye-to-eye on things, we can at least exist and live together).
