Jezzem, for being my list (and potential arthritis) bud

Maz, for a funny post that she posted in the politics thread, that I in turn posted in the nom-worthy post thread

tnuk, because I always nominate tnuk, because he pretty much always does nom-worthy things...and also because I know it bugs him

I'd spite-nominate Gorky for that, but I feel that she already deserves it on her own merits. Seriously though, a nomination or vote for me is wasted since this is a popularity contest and I generally strive to avoid being something so crass as "popular". Give your nomination to somebody who isn't quite so polarising, and there's a much greater chance they'll make the poll.

Xanfor is eligible, posting, and on good form. Some recognition might entice him to stick around and do more posting. Which could only be a good thing.

Motor Oil trailed off towards the end of the month, but during the first half of it, she was posting a fair bit and it was all worth reading.

Honourable mentions to UnrealLegend, and any1else.

I usually don't bother with nominating people. I love each and every PEELer most of all! Now jam a crap in it, you bastards!

[Reply #5 on:]

I'll go with

Beamer
Motor Oil
and DannyJC13, because I noticed that he's the only one bothering to record the POTM winners on the wiki as well as keeping the main page updated with the featured PEELer.

[Reply #6 on:]

And also starting the majority of the POTMNOM threads, as well!  Ergo...

• DannyJC13
  

(for the reasons articulated above)

• Xanfor

So now I have to quit there, find a new job, get ready for college,  and pray I can find some cheaper insurace.

There are no atheists when it comes to dealing with insurance companies, apparently.

This is what I imagine Shiny's Facebook feed looks like:

I'd like to have word with the jerk who decided to design the picture on the label for cans of chick peas to have a yellowish tint to them because that tint makes the picture of chick peas look like corn and when I opened the can I was expecting corn and I instead got these fucking chick peas because some idiot failed to consider the confusion he's caused by making them look yellow and also putting the actual 'chick peas' text on the opposite end of the can to the picture so I can't realise their mistake before I open it and waste several minutes trying to operate my crappy can opener that also attracts the dumb cat who thinks any sound of a can opener means processed fish even though we never use the can opener for cat food because it has one of those tabs you can pull to open it easier even though it doesn't always make it easier because my hands suck and all the cat meowing distracts me from opening the can meaning I'm missing out on potential opportunities to double check the label on the can that looks like corn but is actually chick peas so instead I'm staring at an adorable cat that gets excited at these shitty chick peas but even if he wasn't there it wouldn't matter because I'd probably just see that misleading picture anyway which would make me think I'm opening a can of corn like I wanted and that leads to an open can of chick peas that I don't want because I never put them in anything I make and I was in the middle of making soup which really needed corn but it turns out that every can in the pantry that looks like corn is actually chick peas and I don't know if whoever bought them mistaked them for corn or if they really love chick peas for some reason but it's too bad because my soup can't have any corn so now it's just hot water with chunks of chicken in it which is ironic because chick peas sounds like they'd go well with chicken but they don't because chick peas are horrible and they taste nothing like peas which isn't necessarily a bad thing but they don't taste like chicken either which just makes every bite disappointing and now I'm sitting here with half made soup because there's so corn and to top it all off I now feel like I have to make something from these bloody chick peas which I hate.

TL;DR: Fuck chick peas, and also paragraphs and punctuation.

Cows don't lay down; they lie down. I'm not trying to be a dick - that's a really common grammatical fuck-up. It just drives me crazy and I'm hoping that by pointing it out, I'll slowly be able to weed it from the surface of the Earth.

Sorry, I'm ruining the happy thread.

It was surprisingly easy to open, despite its tough and fearsome appearance.  I eased the tip of my knife into it, then gently slit around its circumference.  The spiny husk separated cleanly, revealing the smooth, supple inner fruit.  The texture is roughly comparable to that of a firm, peeled grape.

What if you're in a body of water, possibly get lucky with a lake.

I know, I'm a shark.

You might be a bull shark, with your penchant for fresh water. And your love of bullsharking.

Thanks for the nom tlf, but I was pretty inactive last month

[Reply #11 on:]

I guess that's it for nominations?

[Reply #12 on:]

Shall we start the poll?

[Reply #13 on:]

Shall we start the poll?

Since that's done by a moderator, perhaps we should pick a mod and all flood their inbox with PMs demanding that she do so. Futurefreak is traditionally the best choice for this.

[Reply #14 on:]

Boxes duly flooded.

[Reply #15 on:]

Ypur request will fall upon, um, blind eyes since Tweek already made one.

[Reply #16 on:]

How do you know that it was not Tweek's box that I flooded, eh?

[Reply #17 on:]

Boxes duly flooded.

But did you PM anyone?

[Reply #18 on:]

Yes.  In a manner of speaking...
