2000 Grimy Awards

Other Comments
Another fine year of seasoned cynicism from those of us who have been around a while, and newbie enthusiasm from those who do now know any better - and thanks for doing this, BW.

I think the post about DR1's passing should get an honorable mention for setting a precedent in Passion, not only for the most replies but also the camaraderie felt here by all Passionites!

This makes no sense. (berrywise notes: just take another pill, it'll be alright)

Once again, where's the banquet, and will it be an open bar? (berrywise notes: my house, five bucks a cup)

You done good, Berry - now go drink a beer or two. (berrywise notes: or twelve)

I appreciate your efforts, Berrywise. (berrywise notes: and thanks to chef and my brother)

Too many newbies and I'm confuse - Must turn off the TV and spend more time in the "soap opera" that is MTBR Passion. (berrywise notes: 56.6 modems just don't cut it anymore, need a cable modem or a T1)

I think "Best Bike Skills" should be divided for male and female next time. (berrywise notes: great idea, look forward to it)

Thanks for a fun diversion!

Pretty good setup BW but you should have nominations next time. (berrywise notes: yeah that is a problem. Part of the problem is people can't remember stuff that happened ten to twelve months ago. My dream is for everyone to have a bookmarks folder labeled grimeys and they can bookmark posts they feel are worthy of the awards ;o)

If only the Presidential Election were this easy...

Thanks again for doing this, BW - It's tons of fun.

Keep up the good work, BW... Wish there was a category I could win this year!

Cleatgrrl sux - she has big nutz. (berrywise notes: thanks, I'll remember that)

Needs some different questions, bw - all the same, thanks! (berrywise notes: Yo foo I asked for questions and even put up last years questions but didn't get any help)

I'm looking for Pete and Fred3 to come out the big winners. (berrywise notes: ding ding we have a winner)

Silversurfer needs to get a special Award of Merit for the smoothest, most impressive Gathering ever. (Ed. note - Agreed.)

Way cool, Kami - keep it up! (Ed. note - Um, who again?) (berrywise notes: haha agreed chef)

Darling, where did you get that dress?

For Best/Worst threads and pics, it might be a good idea to have some nominations from which one we could pick, and thanks!

Nominees would be nice. My memory ain't so good anymore. (berrywise notes: hey I voted after ten beers and I thought I still did a pretty admirable job of remembering)

A special "Kick the Dog" award should be minted at once, and awarded to Cush for being a putz. ;-PP

Looking forward to the results. (berrywise notes: hope they were worth the wait)

Doing the awards makes for a good excuse to sit on your arse and drink when you could be out accomplishing things, or riding. I gotta help out next year...

And a final note from myself: I think I have a pretty smooth website setup with the voting and winners and what not so next year I should be able to use it as a template. That means I'll hae the questions up sooner this year which will make for more time to vote and quicker results. Big thanks to my brother for helping me with the html and another big thanks to Chef for doing the dirty work in tallying all the votes again this year. Thanks all.
