Are you trying to set a record for most pointless posts in one day?
In reply to: so this is just a generic crash pad thread, right? I got mine muddy today then when I fell asleep on it, the mud got on my back.

I can see that the competition for this coveted award (GOTY) is fierce, but I would be doing a disservice to taalon by not nominating him for his participation in this wonderful thread:

Yep. He's definitely in the running.
It's only mid-February. The judges are going to have their work cut out for them by the end of the year. It would behoove promising gumbies to start thinking tactically, and perhaps saving their best material for the end of the year, so it will be fresh in the judges' minds as the voting approaches.

But when he used something he saw in Cliffhanger as one of the only good examples of a dyno...then continued to defend it to you, priceless. That makes the thread up for multiple awards!!

While the Taalon thread was good entertainment, I think to be gumby of the year you should have a body of work, certainly consisting of more than one thread.

There should be a "gumby thread of the week" at this point. Or a monthly winner from a list of the best 5 gumby threads of the month. One year is gonna provide waaaaaaaay too much to keep up with.

OK, this is an interesting point and your comment should be taken into consideration by the GOTY judges. However, in consideration for the Academy Awards (for example) if a motion picture studio produces two really good movies in a given year, it is still each individual work that is nominated. :lol:

You are correct sir, however, we should not model the elite Gumby Awards after the pedestrian oscars. Take note of the fact that many truly great actors with many great performances have not won an oscar at all, while some upstart with one film may have one. This is not the path down which the Gumby Awards should travel in that hand basket to Heck.

The complexities of the GoTYs -- nominations for multiple categories, the need for sub-categories, and the sheer volume of nominations -- are staggering. We're going to need a full-on relational database to manage this thing.

I'm really tempted to take him (her? it??) up on the offer for a follow up answer via pm. That would be rich.
And I officially nominate myself for gumby of the year for driving 10 hours round trip to NYC for a comp that I didn't even compete in.

You're in good company, then. A couple years ago, Sharma drove down to our gym from NorCal, arriving just after the comp ended. However, that didn't stop him from onsighting all the finals problems just for fun.

OK then, along those lines, taalon also posted this gem in the Climbing History & Trivia thread.
In reply to: But along with that and it is sad to see one person was missed may his soul rest in peace. Quote: Wolfgang Gulich, he helped to develep along with Royal Robins many of the ideas for equipment we all use today including our shoes and ropes binners ect.. They climbed when Hemp was all they had. My hats off to them all for their daring and trying. All tho it did lead to Wolfgangs Death from what i read. If only he had todays equipment back then.

Nomination for Frolic in a new category - It Couldn't Possibly Be My Fault Category - for this post, in which he explains that if your belayer outweighs you, if he doesn't give you slack, you'll flip over backwards when you fall.

Wolfie, a contemporary of Robbins--and climbing on hemp ropes no less. I laughed for 10 minutes. Can you even count the number of errors in this one post? Hilarious. :lol: Curt
5.14 was climbed on hemp? And what did the rope have to do with the car accident?
There's this kickass sound file of Cartman cackling and gasping "that is soooooooo lame." I must find it...
