I have two sections I’d like you to vote on for the end of the year: biggest moron commenter and best comment. I narrowed down the choices from lots that were available and all I ask if that you click a few buttons below and submit your vote. Each of the voting options links to the comment which I feel makes it worth of this vote:
Best Comment of the Year - 2009
- Whit o' wit's Analysis of ISD 191's Arts Magnet (54.0%, 26 Votes)
- MSPD's AP Press Release (29.0%, 14 Votes)
- Sank's Tribute to Michael Jackson (17.0%, 8 Votes)
Total Voters: 48
Loading ...Moron of the Year - 2009
- Mikal (36.0%, 16 Votes)
- "Larry" (34.0%, 15 Votes)
- AJ (20.0%, 9 Votes)
- Elle Zorro (9.0%, 4 Votes)
Total Voters: 44
Loading ...That’s not all, however:
1. The winner of the best comment of the year will receive a gift certificate to Blue Ox Sandwich Factory in Burnsville.
2. I will be giving away a gift certificate to Ramy’s Pizza in Apple Valley to a lucky random person who comments below.
Many thanks to both Blue Ox Sandwich Factory and Ramy’s Pizza for providing me with the gift certificates to give away today!
Rules:
1. One comment per person per day will be counted (the first of the day) and pick will be done by http://www.random.org/

Can we get a recap of the comments and/or a great hits of quotes by our lovable morons?

Chad,

Which as I read it again makes no sense. Basically click the options and you’ll get a chance to read the comment.

This is difficult, man. Maybe I need to come back to this poll after a few drinks.
December 31st, 2009 at 10:59 am
I think I need to decide whether being passively moronic (like AJ) or actively moronic (like Larry) counts more in general. It’s a tough one.
I’m taking this way too seriously, aren’t I? :D
December 31st, 2009 at 11:02 am
Glad I didn’t make the moron list.
December 31st, 2009 at 11:26 am
I’ll comment, even though I don’t like going south of the river. ugh.
I was in burnsville last night and they were trying to make me to go anthonys parkway grille.
December 31st, 2009 at 11:27 am
That would have ruined your night.

What does the Moron of the year get?

Our undying love and admiration.
December 31st, 2009 at 12:02 pm
This was a hard poll, Bill. All of the comments were worthy of the win. I had to go with which of them made me laugh hardest today as I reread them (OK, I voted for Mikal’s moron quote largely based on the reactions of MSPD and the others below his comment. They made me laugh pretty hard…)
December 31st, 2009 at 12:21 pm
The Comments Poll was easy, the Moron Poll was damn hard. Each one had such outstanding traits, it was really hard to pick the best of the bunch (aka King/Queen of the Morons).
December 31st, 2009 at 12:25 pm
I had to vote for my girl Whit, because of the “thee” instructions. The English teacher in me required it.
December 31st, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Greg, congrats to you on your 100th comment–that was stuck in the comment filter :-)
December 31st, 2009 at 1:14 pm
good stuff, these comments. part of why i continue to read even though I don’t live in the south metro anymore.
December 31st, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I want Ramy’s. That’s all. Thanks.
December 31st, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Figures, I hit a big milestone and the internets conspire to thwart my plans of world domination.
Must have said “Moron” too many times!
December 31st, 2009 at 3:48 pm
I am just posting to be entered in on the free stuff. I thought it was fairly clear to click on the voting option to see what it was about. Some of these brought back some funny times this past year. Very Nice.
December 31st, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Greg, and it stuck you right back in there with your last comment too. Annoying.
December 31st, 2009 at 10:11 pm
As soon as I clicked ‘submit’ I knew it got stuck again.
Oh well, maybe my luck will change in 2010.
December 31st, 2009 at 11:43 pm
I had to vote for Elle Zorro. Larry and AJ’s comments were just garden-variety trolling, really. Mikal’s gets points for its strong intro and bluntness. But Elle Zorro’s comment was a thing of bizzare, insane beauty.
January 1st, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Free food !!!!!
January 2nd, 2010 at 2:01 pm
I voted for Whit o’wit and Mikal.

Me, too.

I still want Ramy’s…
January 8th, 2010 at 9:18 am
Can we get a poll vs. actual number of how many times Bill dropped the F-bomb in his posts? I would say no less than 600.
January 8th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
Ramy’s sounds good to me and better to the kids who would rather go to Ramy’s than anywhere…..
January 8th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
Went to Ramy’s tonight for dinner! I made a post about it on the main Ramy thread, but it didn’t show up. Hmm….
January 10th, 2010 at 8:23 am
Thanks to everyone who entered! Results:
1. Whit wins the Blue Ox gift certificate by a LANDSLIDE. Woohoo! I’ll pass that along to you soon. Congrats and I’ll be awaiting for an aww shucks from you.
2. http://random.org picked #30 for the winning comment and due to her diligence and hard work at being the only person to RT this on Twitter, she ended up with more entries than others, Crystal from http://cafecyan.blogspot.com/ was declared the winner of the Ramy’s gift certificate!

Be sure to continue to check back for future giveaways :-)

Aw shucks. Thanks everyone! To steal a line from Sally Field: “… I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!” :)
I’d also like to thank Mikal, without whom this award would not be possible. I’d also like to congratulate Mikal on his concurrent Moron of the Year award, but a gentle reminder: We’re still waiting for you to return with your parental feedback on your assignment.

The 2009 Moron of the Year, Mikal Steel, was named to the BHS homecoming court. http://burnsville.patch.com/articles/burnsville-high-announces-homecoming-court-candidates-for-2012
Hope he takes the crown … I can Envision it.
September 19th, 2012 at 8:37 pm
PURE FUCKING GOLD FOR YOUR 100th!
September 20th, 2012 at 9:27 am
Gosh…thanks for the reminder to keep checking in on these folks like Mikal suggested:
OK then. On the plus side as we know, Mikal was named to the BHS homecoming court. Buuuuut….there’s that thing about now working at McDonalds. You know what they say about stereotypes.
Back on the plus side, he can now use his favorite saying, “back the fuck up” hundreds of times daily as in “hey…you pay at Window 1 THEN pick up the bag at Window 2. Back the fuck up.”
From the looks of it, Andrew Hjermstad’s Envision diploma has him livin’ the dream. Rumor has it, he’s killin’ it over at Normandale. He may or may not have a job and may or may not still live at his parents’ house. But one thing I know…his Facebook pic is just as priceless as ever. (below)
Oh, and he has a blog! Really brilliant stuff. Check it out.
http://wasisdas.wordpress.com/
Stanton Pavlicek. I think we should nickname this guy Stanton “Anti-viral” Pavlicek. No, no…he didn’t make good on Mikal’s “succede your old run down ass in anything we do” by becoming a noted physician or biologist. His success is SO blinding that if you Google him, virtually nothing since 2010 comes up. I mean, is that even possible in this day and age with a unique name like Stanton Pavlicek? The grandeur! I keep “backing the fuck up” but I think I’m still missing Stanton’s forest of greatness for the trees. (Was that a trochee or a spondee, Andrew?)
I’ve actually lost track of Actress E. I only imagine she’s splitting time between her part-time job at a kiddie dance studio and her post-graduate studies at the Aveda Institute up in Nordeast. Oh, and she’s still deciding who to “get with” at the reunion.
All in all, it’s no wonder we’re in the middle of a global economic crisis. Clearly, closing Envision pretty much choked out the supply of future World Leaders. Well, unless you count Homecoming King as a real king.

And just like that….the dream has died.
