^^Wow, this is very special! I think I am going to do a Google search on that digit sequence (zip code?) in your user name, so as to ascertain the geographies of my fan base…:)

TP and CC, thanks for your nominations. I would like to clarify something here.

I am guessing that Breaker did not repeat his tour de force awards work this year, because it was too much work for him last year. Therefore, I am not currently planning to edit the OP to incorporate the categories and nominations submitted.

I ask everyone to be a good sport, and if someone happens to have time on their hands and desire to volunteer, at any time over the next few days or whatever, please go through the thread and summarise the categories/nominations in a single post. That way the process can move forward without constant oversight and work from one person.

If you want to be nominated to be the best therapist, then go ahead. I wonder who is going to nominate you though

^^ You are so nice (all of a sudden), that I don't know what to say.

Summariser please note: Best Therapist for category, SoBad as nomination, please. Thank you.

^^ You must know that there were times when you were not only cruel to me, but also hurt the fragile feelings of my friend Jim Willard, who is a very pure innocent guy and a tremendous athlete.

But the past is in the past. We are now in the holiday season when we truly speak from the heart and discuss categories and nominations! By the way, what is the meaning of the five-digit sequence in your username?

I nominate Topaz to be the Best Female Poster also.

Topaz is like a hardened up League tennis player while Cindysphinx is a softer version who needs to be taken care of. Nothing wrong with that, mind you.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON 2007 AWARDS PROCESS [caps filler]

Some additional comments on the categories and nominations stage of the 2007 awards process:

- self-nominations are not accepted; however, lobbying is permitted; in order to avoid confusion and derailment of this thread, a quiet therapy office has been established for lobbying and other ancillary discussions relating to this awards process - http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=171291

- some obviously male posters nominated for best female have been removed based on discretionary common sense considerations

- I nominated TonLars and serveitup911 into best players category

- for avoidance of doubt from all the joking around, Babolat is actually sponsored by SoBad and not the other way around, yet the AM28143 nomination stands unchallenged

- we would not be doing ourselves any favours by dragging this on; therefore, let’s try to finalise categories and nominations over the next day or two, and then move right on to voting, so we can have closure by year end

Hey Rickson, SoBad said that self-nominations are not accepted.
Therefore I will nominate you for best mixed martial arts fighter if you nominate me for most Nadallike....... deal?
 

SoBad

G.O.A.T.
Rickson: in order to participate in the nomination stage of the awards process, one is generally expected to provide nominations for the established categories. If one wishes to propose a new category, a supporting argument is expected. Since your attempt at participation in the awards process fails those established criteria, I recommend that you get your issues sorted out in the thread established for that very purpose:

http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=171291

before we can have your "opinions" incorporated in the awards process. Many thanks.

I nominate Rickson for best mixed martial arts fighter.

I think that Best MMA Fighter should be a category because the sport of MMA is very popular within the entire world and it coincides with tennis because people of all races participate in it. I also believe it should be a category because there are a lot of MMA fighters on this board that could provide great competition within the category, such as that guy SoBad and that unpredictable assassin Zets.....good enough?

I whole heartedly agree with the most Nadal like personality here!

Most knowledgeable (exercise): tie between Ano and KevinT


Thanks, Rickson!

But I will say this honestly on this forum :

Kevin T is MUCH more knowledgeable than me.

He has a master degree in exercise physiology and a doctoral degree in nutrition.

Comparing me with Kevin T is like comparing a 5.0 player with a tour player.

Most likely to eat Canadian Bacon: Canadian Chic

Darn it, I don't eat bacon but it's nice to see that I'm on your mind. How about Most Likely to Complain over a Massage: Ricky!! Or even better...Most likely to smother a small person in his massive armpit. Haha. Nothin' like posting on a tennis forum at five forty in the morning.
 

chess9

Hall of Fame
Most Civil: Fee
Most Helpful: Ano (Kevin T is also very good, as are several other guys, including Midlife Crisis, who doesn't post as often) The sheer volume of fully cited posts by Ano, and always topical, wins the nomination for him by a landslide, IMHO.

Funniest: North, for her comment "If Cheney died, then Bush would be President".

Best Thread: The Simon Brown thread was a heartwarmer. Kudos to Simon for bringing a human touch to internet relationships.

Best Tennis History information: Moose Malloy

Best Instruction: Bungalo Bill and John Yandell. Although John is a bit more patient (by a whisker), Bill posted more often, particularly earlier in the year. Where have you gone, BILL? :)

Best Writer: I don't remember the fellow's handle at the moment, but he is a superb writer, probably a professional sports writer, who has written about tennis and baseball here. Maybe someone knows who I mean?

Best Female Member: Talk about an oxymoron! :) They don't post enough, except for CC in her one thread. They must have real lives? ;)

Most Willing to fight to the death: alwaysatnet

Person I agree with most: Phil and Ano. Tied!

Person I admire most: That writer guy, above. It sucks having no talent. :)

Best Racquet Person: Breakpoint, though a couple of new guys are coming on strong. Maybe next year he will be passed?

-Robert

Oh Rickson, what will I do with you? Canadian back bacon is a thin slice of ham, it is not actually bacon. I do not eat bacon as in the fatty fried strips but I do eat smokies which are beef as opposed to sausage which is usually pork. Clear as mud?

I thought smokies were pork and beef, no? That's my Nadal impression.
