Congrats to all

Hells teeth! I'm mortified.

How can I face Manboots now my avatar is officially worse that his cheap cut and paste clipart thing?

God.

Enough modesty Aslan , I'm sure we all know you trully deserved the win

Best member MC XD YAY!

*hands CentalMase a beer...*

Deepest Congrats to all who won and thanks to all who voted.

Mentalcase....... Way TO GO!!!!!

Aslan ...... Sorry to say, your avatar has scared me from day 1 ... But what is important is the Man behind the avatar.... First Class!!

Nancy

I wanna hear some speeches!!!!

Congrats Moe knew you'd win it

Thanks for voting everyone!

Thanks to everyone for participating. This is Moe's speech.

You are all some of the most creative, intelligent and funny people I have ever met. I'm glad to have discovered this forum. Props to Saruman and the great job he has done!! And his Mods (henchmen) as well.
I only hope that winning doesnt become my curse. Who's gonna ever take my serious posts seriously now? As if anyone ever did to begin with....
As for my competition? You are all extremely funny in your own ways. Even many of those who didnt get nominated. Its all in good fun so no worries.
Lets be ego free and combine our insanities for something grand. Tho I cant think of what....
anyways. Ive had a good week. Made some new buddies, had a birthday, won a contest, made some more buddies, and got a jazzy green toothbrush. This is not normal for Moe. I hope the end is not near.

many thanks for putting up with Moe's antics.

Lotties's Acceptance Speech for the Best Avatar...

Thank you! Oh! Thank you! I can hardly conjugate verbs! I feel so blessed! Oh, thank you again! I just want everyone to bow down before me and accept that even in my wildest hallucinations, I never would have frantically prayed that this could ever happen to me. And to the other super-amazing nominees, I want each of you to know how totally wonderful your crushing defeats makes me feel right now!

You know when they first told me I was nominated, I just had to take a Carnival Cruise and obsess about how generous my fans have been.
You know, there are so many people to thank! First off though, I want to thank the amazing people of UM, who looked deep within their Magic 8-Balls before giving me this fantastic award! Also, I want to thank my guru, for being such a powerful force in my loins. And to the People Under the Stairs, who taught me to take life by the fifth of bourbon. Saruman without you this would not of been possible, thankyou. And finally, to all the personal assistants I fired - I couldn't have done it without you!

This one is for you Daz.

Thank you Unexplained Mystreries, and good night!

Given the board that its on I really can't see why this won! I'm not into wrestling but there are far more pointless threads out there in other parts of the site!

Most Controversial Thread
Winner: Evolution vs Creationism (24 votes)

Now this thread is POINTLESS not controversial.... The blind on one side and those who seem to enjoy beating their head against a brick wall on the other!

Thanks for running it Sauraman, it was sorta fun in places

*chuckles* @ Fenris...



I would just like to say THANK YOU for going along with me and making Aslan's Avatar the worst ever...


hehehehehehehehe Now are you going to carry out your threat...???

YaY .. Congrats to the winners .. and Hard luck to those who didn't win .. maybe you'll have better luck next year

I am very proud to know that many agreed on making the The Official UM Trivia Thread the Best Thread .. it really is a good place to activate our tinny minds with those interesting questions .. it deserves to be the BEST!!

Congrats to all.

And to the many of you who were not even nominated, your still winners. Just keep posting your wit and wisdom.

Criminey!

I don't even KNOW there was a forum award - let alone know that I won one!!!!!!

Can I just say that this is by far one of the best forums I've visited, and there are many talented and witty people here.

*does little dance*

ooh....you even did food!

Congrats To Moe_Doggy_dog

He is by far the most cosistent funny man on the boards

Don't take it to heart Wrestling Fans , Its all in good jest


How many footballers are there ??
How Many Wrestlers ??

Vinnie Jones in all his thuggish Movies provided me with better Entertainment than a bit part played by the Rock or a lets do a spin off cause your a famous wrestler Movie.

Perhaps next year we might have under the most Controversial thread Football v Wrestling , Me being a fan of both would be a good thread


Also Fenris , You may not who MentleCase Aka CentleMase is , But you will soon find out

Talon, lighten up please. If you can't take these awards in the light-hearted manner in which they are intended, then i'd suggest you avoid going anywhere near them in future.

I would like to thank everyone who nominated me for an award, even though I didn't win one. I would like to send each and every one of you a Christmas card, just for the thought. Snuffy likes it that people think he contributes. You make Snuffy smile.

And now, a thank everybody party.

congrats!!!!
To all.....who won.
(you know the word con and rats, make up this ritualistic word)

I think you got ripped ASLAN

All the wrestling fans who are angered about this vote, please dont be so pessamistic(sp?)

At least we won something

*crickets chirping*

As there were only two points in it and I think Daz's avatar is very cool, I feel that I should share this award with him.

Also this is all fun and I would like to say that every single person who is a part of UM are all winners!!! YAY

This Award is dedicated to all the UM Members 2004

Congrats to everyone who won and came second place.

Here's to next years polls.
