Forum:Idea for a new award

<<< Back to Illogical Zone • <<< Back to Forum

So... I've been thinking. At least, I think I have. Anyway, I had this idea, why not make a new award? It could be fun.

The award: Eggplant of the Month

Basically, we all throw eggplants at each other for a week and whoever smells the worst at the end wins and gets a smelly template for their userpage or piece of roadkill mailed to them or something. What do you think? ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101014 - 13:43 (UTC)

So how do we throw the eggplants? Place them on their talkpage?-- (Talk) (Contributions) 21:45, 14 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

No, we get Roberto or whatever the name was to do it. After all, what's a malfunctioning database for if not to be taken advantage of? ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101014 - 22:22 (UTC)

So who is this Roberto?-- (Talk) (Contributions) 07:52, 15 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

Next time you see a database error, read what it says. The name should be mentioned, assuming that's even what it was. I can't remember. ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101015 - 13:48 (UTC)

Sounds good, but I can't help but think it needs more beer. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 18:59, 15 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

So bring it! I'll bring some nuns. ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101015 - 23:55 (UTC)

Can I bring a tomato? And some kebabs? PAN-FRIED kebabs?-- (Talk) (Contributions) 01:40, 17 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

Bring the pan, too. And maybe we can start a forest fire... er, I mean bonfire. Let's have a bonfire. ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101017 - 02:11 (UTC)

Bonfires are cool.-- (Talk) (Contributions) 21:31, 17 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

Okay, time to light the wiki on fire! *grabs a torch* ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101017 - 21:39 (UTC)

Are wikis flammable?-- (Talk) (Contributions) 21:40, 17 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

Yes. *lights it on fire* See? The categories are burning... oooo, looks like some of the files are starting to smoke, too... er... now it's... crap, we need to get out of here! Hurry! Before the whole thing caves in on us! ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101017 - 21:59 (UTC)

Well, I myself don't see anything at all wrong. But I'll take chances and log out right away. *Logs out, waits and then logs back in*

Hm, it seems it's gone now. Maybe the Illogicopedia fire brigade stopped it. If there WAS an Illogicopedia fire brigade.-- (Talk) (Contributions) 07:22, 19 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

That... would be strange. We don't even have any competent active admins, let alone cleany uppy people... ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101019 - 14:55 (UTC)

Very true.-- (Talk) (Contributions) 20:26, 19 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

Eggplants are illogical by default, and smelly things always grab attention. I say "yes" to the award, but question the faux illogic of what the award is, how it's decided and what happens to the awardee. This needs more careful analysis, or my name is Clarence Darrow.

I agree.-- (Talk) (Contributions) 22:18, 22 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Master Darrow. Will you come this way? ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101023 - 01:10 (UTC)

How about a ?writing contest? Still thinking about details... something about werewolves being the thing NRA members fear most. Presently not disGruntled - Exchange ideas 05:16, 24 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

Sounds like... work. *emits aura of laziness* You can do the organising. ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101024 - 05:41 (UTC)

The illogic pickle, which kills activity, is the native ?pedia writing contest. —rms talk 05:44, 24 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

It killed it all? That must be what ate my motivation. ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101024 - 05:55 (UTC)

I only suggest things, I don't actually do them. I'm wondering if this pickle thing is what's causing my mysterious illness. Presently not disGruntled - Exchange ideas 06:44, 24 Octodest 2010 (UTC)

Probably. ~ *shifty eyes* (talk) • (stalk) -- 20101024 - 14:35 (UTC)
