Eller Sailo
"The therapist we all know we need but are afraid to go to." - VinylGuy

Lenny
"He sucks a mean cock, although he’ll never admit it. In the post-ChatGPT world, it’s skills like these that can’t be AI-generated." - 96593UP

Matters

BMac
"... for being a great pet owner and having a sweet ride." - Ellen Sailen

96583UP

Bammer
"... because why not." - dadda

Jorge
"There’s something about his posts i find oddly comforting." - EH Ruddo

tragabigzanda
"... because RM wouldn't be the same without him." - Andres

Simple Torture
"The BIG NEWS is that [he], founder of The Weight Loss Thread, has RETURNED to the thread for more weight loss. He is a tremendous candidate for "The Weight Loss/Poop/Pee Thread RMer of the Year" award. If he chronicles hie new weight loss journey and couples it with a few poop and pee updates, he's a shoe-in. - Coach

Ruddock
"I'm also going to nominate [him] because I think he's a cool guy." - tommy

BurtMac
"I'm going to renominate . He's a good dude with an interesting perspective on the world." - JuanHamme

tree_
"because he asked me to" - tommy

Macphisto
for his steadfast dedication to RM, so much so that he continues to post, even while banned, using an ingenious stash of sleeper logins created years ago, so as to evade RMods detection systems. kudos to you, mac" - 49545up

Ellen Sailen
"I'd like to nominate [himm] for his thoughtful replies" - tommm

"I would like to nominate tommy. He reinvented himself on the board, and he's a sweet guy." - dad

liebzz
"... for his stellar work in OB over time, in particular his regular "deep dives" into various discographies, and more recently his unwavering (and mildly psychotic truth be told) dedication to the run through the "Greatest Live Albums of All Time". His write ups are succinct yet valuable, and he is an inspiration to us all. When Jack and Kyle were looking for inspirado they could have done far worse than to simply look to liebzz and his unwavering dedication to THE RAWK." - Higgs

Stanley Kubrick

someone's gotta get the ball rolling. it's fun. when's the last time we did this? 3 years ago?

[tragabigzanda]

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

[JuanHamm]

I nominate Coach. His work in the weight loss, poop and pee threads has been inspirational. We're all lighter and more regular than ever thanks to his gentle coaching.

It's been a real pleasure!

[BurtReynolds]

Can I un-nominate Rmers?

[tree_]

Can I un-nominate Rmers?

I don't see why not

[BurtReynolds]

Ok, I hate blind optimism and talking about shit, so I un-nominate both.

You're gonna have to say something specific about the poster you are un-nominating; why you feel they don't deserve a nomination for it to be posted in the OP

[Ello Sailor]

Snatch. Funny bastard. He also craps like a donkey, which is no small feat.

[VinylGuy]

Ello Sailor.

The therapist we all know we need but are afraid to go to.

[BurtReynolds]

People are messaging me with disturbing rumors about both. We may need to cancel them. I'm not saying that we should, mind you, but some people are saying that. We just don't know what these Rmers are capable of.

[96583UP]

I nominate Lenny

He sucks a mean cock, although he’ll never admit it. In the post-ChatGPT world, it’s skills like these that can’t be AI-generated.

[BurtReynolds]

I would also like to un-nominate Lenny.

[tree_]

I would also like to un-nominate Lenny.

Again, I need a specific reason to post in the OP

[JuanHamm]

He's actually pretty mid at sucking d*ck

[BurtReynolds]

Please un-nominate Elloo and Snatch as well. Thank you.

[JuanHamm]

I'd like to nominate Matters for filling the alt-right void left by the departures of Josh, Verb, r2d and Macphisto. It can't be an easy role to fill around here.
