"BP," I think that - at least for the "Current Events" Forum - it would be more appropriate - and more likely to draw serious attention - by renaming the awards as simply "Bo's 2005 Peabody Awards"
...Hopefully, many will confuse it with the prestigious George Foster "Peabody Awards" given annually for excellence in broadcasting (and recently extended to web media - thereby technically making us all eligible...)
George Foster Peabody was a distinguished banker-philanthropist. (Doubtless, insightful investigative journalism by members of this forum will uncover insidious links to the Zionist/alien conspiracy...)
For whatever it's worth to anybody, I'll go ahead and post the list of 2004 "Peabody Award" winners:

| That would be Joo. Always ready to repeat the same argument no matter the thread topic, or to break out a non-sequiter about Jeff Rense. |

Just imagine if he was around 1967-1975...
We've got to break the forces of communism threating our nation. Ho Chi Min is a brutal dictator supressing his own people and a threat that has to be removed. If we weren't fighting with one hand tied behind backs we could win the war in 6 weeks blah blah blah... |

He's actually the frontrunner in the category of the Awards entitled : Missing in Action and Whatever Happened To ...
A modbird spoke in my ear and told me that he was not among the Banned, but for whatever reason he has not been present here for weeks bordering on months, so for whatever reason he he is not likely to be reading this thread.
I don't feel comfortable encouraging or watching negative comments about posters who are unable or unlikely to respond, or even be aware of things being said about them - and as possibly The Jooster's primary antagonist during his tenure here I will not participate and will not approve of attempts to malign and misrepresent his views.
And I think that might be happening.
This Forum is a very devisive one, and I don't think the OP intended this thread as a place to attack individuals, but possibly the opposite. Can we try to keep it in that spirit? Let's try. |

Actually .. me, too.
Not saying I miss him, just always thought of him as my "evil twin." For a while there, the two of could not seem to exist at all in cyberspace without the other ... we seemed to do the job of defining each other, at least in this particular place.
Seems I'm encouraging a discussion about Joo rather than the opposite, but I recall that episode of the original Star Trek series, and I'm probably among the few here old enough to claim to have seen that particular episode in it's first-run network viewing - had to ask for special permission from mom to stay up for it because NBC made the brilliant decision to push a sci-fi action adventure show past 10 PM, ands lot of us later came to think that network decision was because of episodes like that one, that dealt with some very deep social and human issues.
As I recall, the two alien antagonists in that episode were never shown together in the same frame until the exact shot you displayed, and none of the members of the crew of the Enterprise noticed any physical disparity until one of them, the "cop" designated to bring the "criminal" to justice made it clear in one particular speech :
"Don't you SEE the difference between us? He is black on the left side and I am black on the right!"
(The Bobster asks forgiveness from Trekkie purists who have instant access to websites to obtain more exact quotes than I can give from only memory, and memory that goes back to preadolescence at that - The Bobster also asks forgiveness from the larger community of humanity for having displayed extreme geek cred by being able to quote from Gene Roddenberry as if he were Euripides, which he never tried to be, though I recall once trying to convince my high school English teacher that he was almost as good as ... )
Anyway, the sentence I quoted in boldface above (from memory, perhaps not exact) illustrates the essential core of the Bobster-Joo Rhipp contoversy. And I will pause for a moment of thanks towards LC for illustrating it so clearly with merely an image. |

| ..."Joo Rip Gwa Rhhee" just posted a thread here last week (Nov. 30) - "The Truth about White Phosphorus" ... He is indeed a respectable member of this forum and should be nominated for a "Bo's Peabody" award of some sort... |

Just demonstrating your point.
However, since I'm here, I'll demonstrate my point: As usual, you have the facts wrong. Why do you associate me with Changwon? I don't live there and have never lived there.

I'm pleased as punch (...expression reminiscent of Hubert Humphrey) that "Bo Peabody" has officially lent his distinguished nomenclature to our humble awards. Before I have to run off to class, let me also suggest that we expand the categories in the current events forum to include at least the following:
"Most Convoluted Post",
"Greatest Public Service/ Humanitarian Post"
"Most Cynical World View"
"Best Use of Photos (Pictography)"
"Most Congenial Poster"
"Most Outrageous Thread/Poster"
"Most Eerily Prophetic Post"
"Best Investigative Journalist"
"Most Apologetic Post"
"Most Politically Savvy/Sexy Post"
"Best Example of 'Old Age and Treachery overcoming Youth and Skill"'
"Best Use of Linguistics to Advance Political Views"
"Best 'Hatchet Job"'
"Best Partisan Spinner"
"Most Non-Partisan Poster"
"Most God-consciousl Perspective"
(More?...)  |
