Let's just dive in.

The Frosties venue is official

We're hosting it on this weekend's Poalcast - Sunday, Dec 22 at 9pm EST. For more information on how to be on the cast, check out /s/poalcast's sidebar for information on how to connect. If you haven't ventured on air yet, I would highly recommend making this your first one.

These categories need more nominees

I would've expected the top 3 categories on the roster-- Top Post, MVP, Top Commentator to be packed. And to be fair, MVP does have 5 entries. But that's the only one of the big three that's not abysmally low on entries.

But Top Post of the Year 2019 ? Only 2? How does everyone on this site not have a favorite post of last year? Maybe there are so many good posts you forgot which one is your favorite. Well, I'm here to tell you you have until this weekend to figure it out. And nominate, nominate, nominate!

Remember, this is an awards show, so even if a nominee doesn't win and get to give an acceptance speech, just the nomination alone will get your favorite post a mention on the show and immortalize it in internet infamy!

And what about Top Commentor? Currently, the much-deserving @Lord_Nougatsits undefended as the lone nominee. But aren't there others who are deserving as well? Did no one make you laugh this year, my miserly readers?

Others

There's quite a few single-nominee categories left, so take a lookand don't give those guys such an easy time. Give them a run for their money. Surely we can think of someone who is as internet-detectivey as @WebOfSlime, as loyal to the administration as @SloppySeconds, as hospitable as @ChefDong, as well dressed as @Caveman_in_a_suit, etc etc.

We have a suggested category: Best Disinformation Post 2019 -- as I, your host, interpret it, that is no limited to /s/Disinformation. If we get a nomination I'll add it.

Best Original Poem 2019 : I think there could be a lot more. I personally am combing through to find some of my favorites from the prolific @seeking_virtueand also @TheodoreKent

We added a best OC category that will be a catch-all for any other OC category. But you can also nominate users for misc OC that isn't music, poetry, or disinformation.

It shouldn't need to be said, but if you want to be a part of this and nobody's nominated you, just nominate yourself like @heracleidesand @Starjello. There's nothing embarrassing about that.

Finally

I've received a lot of kvetching about @Owlchemynot receiving an award. For the millionth time, my dear autistic children, there will be a remembrance portion of the show for Owl and other Poalrs who are no longer with us today. The only reason we aren't doing "Most Missed 2019" or something like that is a few kind words and a moment of silence are much more appropriate for these types of things.

I want to also honor users who have not died but just left the site and are missed, but I don't know of all of them and certainly won't remember all I know of, so please let me know who you'd like to remember besides @Owlchemy.

Fortunately, I came prepared - pretty sure that somewhere between the mild dehydration and heatstroke I had a very convincing hallucination of a rat telling me that this sort of thing was going to happen.

He - at least, I'm pretty sure it was a he, and I'm also reasonably sure one can still legally misgender rats without significant repercussions - said to me "William," (which is interesting, because that's not my name) "William, the world has gone absolutely mad. Absolutely, thoroughly, running mad on all levels."

From there, it devolved into a lengthy polemic on the virtues of sand and why I should stay in the desert. It was certainly a tempting argument, made more so by the rat's comprehensive mastery of rhetoric, which he wielded with all the grace and power of a drunken hobo clutching part of a broken old boat oar, and scowling - fiercely - but I avoided the worst of it by bashing him flat with a stone.

Then I cooked him up.

And at him.

That rat is a part of me now - they say that one is what one eats, after all. By consuming the creature, I have gained its powers, and its wisdom. My abilities to forage for berries and nuts, as well as to avoid large predatory avians have never been more keen, more honed . Not to mention that my fundamental connection to the world has been strengthened in ways that effete city-dwellers can never comprehend.

Everyone should kill what they eat.

Put most of them up there. I keep wondering to myself "how does Starjello keep getting nominated to so many thing?" And then I look at whose sending the nominations and see it's you.

[–] 3 pts 5y

I eagerly followed your instructions. I always think of you and wonder how do others not nominate your every category? Thank goodness your humility has not gotten in the way of displaying your talents.

You're too kind. Did you know gays are more narcissistic than there heterosexual counterparts? Just something the judges should know.

[–] 4 pts 5y

Really jockeying for that big gay award huh?
