I loved elvis as a kid. My sister and I used to always load up the jukebox with elvis tracks at the local pizza place.

I've never interacted with a jukebox

Fans and haters all paint Elvis in a different light. Bottom line for me: Elvis is fun. If you hate Elvis then I hold suspect for hating fun.

Otherwise you never would have heard of him.

There is no hate, only disdain. Ray Barracks had Elvis Presley Mess Hall, an Elvis shrine, and the same barber that cut his hair was still working the chair when I was there. He cut my hair. Have you ever had a military hair cut? Then, there's Bad Nauheim, the little village where him and 'Cilla met, which is right next to Friedburg where Ray Barracks used to sit, and lemme tell ya, you couldn't walk 2 blocks without seeing some sort of reference to the busted lip crooner. Over-saturation during my time in the service destroyed any notion of me ever enjoying his music, and even at that, there wasn't much there after being exposed to it by fat, drunk, polyester wearing imbecilic fanboys when I was a kid. Sure, the musicians are great, I mean what do you expect, he was a star and he's gonna get the star treatment. It's his image that gets the full brunt of my contempt.

I am a fun person, and to that I say: Good day to you, sir.

One does not simply hate fun.

Plankton · 11-27-2018, 01:05 PM

I'm just waiting for him to respond so I can say "I said good day!".

See? I'm fun.

Like a bathtub full of piranhas!

Best Avatar: Tie between Ori and Frown. Ori's fits him well, but I also like me a good flat earth joke.
Best Signature: windsock. Captures elph at a real family guy funny moment.
Howard The Duck Memorial Award for Most Inane Member: Since windsock already mentioned those persistent auto insurance dudes, I'll go with the gone and forgotten MP5 experiment account. They just made obvious spam posts to get to 15 posts, and made a topic about experimenting with the .mp5 format that was full of music videos in .mp4 and then the same ones in .mp5. (Whatever all the crap meant, me and whichever mod btfo'd them are probably the only ones who are aware of what I'm talking about).
Biggest Fanboy / Fangirl of the Year: K_addict. Could it really be anyone else?
Best Writer: Ori, funny stuff.
Nicest member: A huge tie between Mindfulness, Dude111, Lisna, Fluff, and Plankton. They're the guys that I don't think I've ever seen bring any negativity, always super friendly when I've seen them post.
Funniest member: windsock. Call me biased, but I don't know who else I would pick. Otherwise I would probably pick [MERIT] if only for his response in windsock's original join thread of 'What's your favorite bank account and social security number?'. Oh, and Black Francis has made some pretty funny posts too.
Best Mediator: Exo and WWWP seem to do a really good job.
Biggest Music Contributor: Mondo, thanks to him I found what's most likely my AOTY.
Best Media Forum Contributor: Mic, because Doom.
Best Taste in Music: Batlord for liking Helstar, and Plankton for liking Clutch.
Most Underrated Poster: Tie between Mic and Dude111. Mic because so many people (including me at one point) treat him like crap when he's usually really nice and respectful towards other's tastes. Dude because: "Just browsing MB on my Windows 98 machine and listening to my 8-tracks". He's so retro but without any amount of pretense.
Best Thread Starter: Unitron for his lovely Helstar thread.
Most Missed Poster: 66Sexy, but I guess we got a 2-for-1 deal with the arrival of Dharma and Greg
Thread of the Year: tuffy the dog.
Best Journal 2018: windsock's Trials and Tribulations of the $5 Mystery Bag Buyer.
Best Rivalry: Elph vs. jeans.
Biggest Lounge Lizard: Everyone from the looks of it.
Best Member Music Album (Released in 2018): Lord Salad - Trouble Salad
Lifetime Achievement Award: [MERIT], the guy's been here since 2004. I'd say that's an impressive feat.

Trouble Salad is the project, that's just my soundcloud stuff. I actually haven't released anything under that name this year yet, but the stuff you heard is gonna be on an upcoming album that will be large.
