World of Weird Al Yankovic

Answer time:

One quick question. I'm nominated for best avatar (non-photo.) I don't need to change my avatar back to the year-round avatar, right?

There's no need to change your current avatar to your nominated avatar.

Could we create a category called "The Most Mediocre Member Award"?    I definitely think I could have a lock on that one.

You'd probably have better luck winning the "Most Pleasant WOWAY member" or something like that (not saying that's a category ... and not saying Most Mediocre Member won't be ... )

Will there be a catagory for Best Fan Artist (Multimedia)?

There will be at least 21 more categories!

And not really an answer, but a comment ...

I would like to ask if I not be nominated fo Funniest Member. It's been kind of embarrassing winning it every time, and I think we desperatly need some new blood for the award *cough*Ak*cough*

A Funniest Member category without a Dingo nomination? I don't really think so, pal (although I am personally restricting myself from nominating anyone, I am sure someone will). And there is plenty of new blood that could easily compete in this category (if it is actually a category!) ... this forum is packed with funny people (one of the reasons I like hanging out here, even more than that Prince forum I visit for short periods of time).

One last thing ... if you have a question on who's been nominated or seconded, you can find all of that in the first post in the official topic (yep, it's completely updated, as far as I can tell ... let me know if I missed something).

So this time around, we're covering about a year's worth of time here?

I'm going to dig up some of the things I've worked on in the past year

I will be out of the country until after the New Year, so unfortunately I will not have a chance to see the categories and pimp myself here in this thread.

But a few notable achievements would be that I was the first to break the "behind the scenes" scoop on the White & Nerdy video shoot, which you can read about in the W&N video thread. Also, I got to the Final Three in Survivor. I'm sure I did a lot more but I don't remember at this point and it's 3AM.

I'll leave the rest up to you.

...I'll be more careful this time:

Thanks for the nomination(?) and second(!), guys

I remember this being helpful last year. Here are the parodies I've written and recorded since the last awards:

I've with ya there, Kevbo.

I heard that when you want an award, you can't nominate yourself anymore. So, instead, you have to pimp yourself in this thread. So I guess now is the time for *checks pimp name generator* G. Digital N00b Valentine to pimp her mad postin' skillz...

In this thread, we were discussing this absolutely awful fan-made video for Albuquerque that was made. My comment was as follows:

[quote=""G. Digital N00b Valentine""]
I think it was a work of unrivalled genius, with the nuances of metaphysical alteration too great for a mind like mine, IQ of 150 and all, to comprehend fully in this lifetime. Witness the subtle alteration of "a box under the stairs in the corner of the basement of the house half a block down the street from..." to "a box under the stairs in the corner half a block down the street from..."
This subtle wordsmithing implies that the corner is in something, presumably a house, and that that house is half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop. Later, the artist, and I use that term in every sense of the word, says, "...get out of that basement..", thus proving that the box is in the corner of a basement! Thus the artist shows Al's point in many fewer words than Al did. This man is clearly a genius, and once again I use that in every sense of the word.

You can just smell the sarcasm...

Anyway, Jake Waters then posted:

If it was up to me (and it's not), you would win the award of "Best...Post...Ever.."

"weird al" rocks then posted:

[quote=""'weird al' rocks""]
Lol I agree! Nice job Dumb n00b for Al!
[/quote]


So there you have it. The artist formerly known as Dumb n00b for Al, previously known as Dumb N00b, and, for this post only, known as "G. Digital N00b Valentine" is responsible for the best post on WOWAY. Thanks.

Oh, and remember boys and girls, pigs and virgins, pimpin' ain't easy.

Don't flatter yourself, Abbott

Wow, Noob... you managed to nominate yourself, and second and third yourself all in the same post! Just for the sheer chutzpah, I nominate your above mentioned post for... uh... whatever category you nominated it for. (I really haven't been following this thread.)

I've been too busy moderating. Yup, a mod's work is never done. But, I don't mind. I love my mod duties...

Scottidog
muliple winner of Best Mod. (See? Pimpin' ain't all that hard.)

I believe the topic was Best Post on WOWAY, or something like that. I'll second that! Brilliant, dnfa.

Do we need to post that in the other topic?
