[Kurdt]

Congrats to all the winners and nominees. Thanks to all who voted for me. :smile:

[Evo]

WOO_HOO!!!!!

Congratulations to all of the winners!

Of course everyone nominated is a winner in my book. Thank you all for everything you do every day.

[turbo]

Good choices, all. Congrats!!!

How come Kurdt didn't get the "best Kurdt" award, though?

[lisab]

I don't think he's qualified :tongue2:.

Congrats to everyone!

[Andre]

Congratulations to all, and any many thanks for the staff and the members for the expressed confidence :smile: Now I have to learn a lot of other science

[Borek]

Congrats to everyone (including myself).

When does the volcano ceremony start? Is volcano allergic to anything, or can I eat whatever I want before? Should I dress formal? Plastics allowed, or natural fabric only to keep pollution low? Sorry if I am asking too many questions, but I don't wont to spoil the ceremony, and you know, I was never thrown into before, so I am a volcano virgin :shy:

[turbo]

I don't think he's qualified :tongue2:.

Congrats to everyone!Darn! I'll have to watch out for that sneaky MIH if she tries to steal my "best turbo" title. She'll have to camp out here and grow chili peppers and make chili relishes to qualify. In the case of a tie (yay!) there may have to be a Jello-wrestling tie-breaker. Tickets will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.

[mgb_phys]

Wow - thanks and congratulations to everyone!!!!
I'm going to have to be more careful checking my answers now.

Well done Borek (I know I should have worn a wig as well - assuming that is a wig and not a chemistry lab accident )

[Moonbear]

Congrats to the winners, and congrats to all who were nominated! Even those who did not win are much appreciated here.

[tiny-tim]

congrats to all the other winners, and thanks to everyone who hangs around the homework forums and knows more physics than i do, but voted for me! :redface:

ahem … is this mike working? …

i'd like to thank all the smilies who've supported me during the last year …

particularly wink smilie :wink:
rolleyes smilie :rolleyes:
and of course smilie smilie :smile:

i could not have done this without them!

i would also like to thank my scientific mentor, sir isaac the newt :approve:, and my mouse, whisskerstein :eek:, with his sage advice "what we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence" (and without whom of course i would not be able to access my computer!)

this now qualifies me for the international goldfish of the year finals …
in the superbowl! :approve:
i hope everyone will come and support me! :smile:

i'd like to thank my 117 brothers and sisters, my mum,

:cry: :cry: :cry:

oh i'm sorry

this has never happened to a goldfish before

:cry:

i think i'd better just quote from julie brown's speech in the 1988 film earth girls are easy …
being chosen as this month's miss august is
like a compliment I'll remember …
for as long as I can

right now i'm a freshman in my fourth year at ucla,
but my goal is to become a veterinarian …
cause I love children :smile:

[Evo]

To tiny-tim, the funniest Homework Helper Guru we've ever had. (and a fellow smillie aficianado)

[Danger]

Congrats to all.
I did not vote this year because I simply couldn't make up my mind. All nominees were over-qualified for their categories. Also, I haven't really been around enough to form a solid opinion.
The election results are pleasing, though.

[dlgoff]

Wow - thanks and congratulations to everyone!!!!
The same here. :smile:

[Redbelly98]

To tiny-tim, the funniest Homework Helper Guru we've ever had. (and a fellow smillie aficianado)

And, he was very nearly the most helpful Humor Guru too!

Congrats to all the winners. If I get around to it, I'll try to honor some of you with special redbelly avatars in the near future.

[Math Is Hard]

Good choices, all. Congrats!!!

How come Kurdt didn't get the "best Kurdt" award, though?

Because I slightly out-Kurdted him. :tongue2:

Congrats to all the nominees and weiners. er- winners! yeah, winners!

How dare you escape MIH by being a mentor for a couple of days. :devil:

I'm sneaky like that. :approve:

[malawi_glenn]

Congratulations to all winners!

Keep up the good work in 2009!

An extra contgratulation I would like to give mgb_phys, winner of physics guru with one vote more than me(?) :-)

Two.

That's not the only category in which differences between the winner and the second place were minimal.

[FredGarvin]

I have to laugh about this. This makes 3 years in a row. One day I will be allowed to retire :tongue2:

Thank you to everyone who threw a vote my way! I am not sure if that means that we have a sad state of affairs in the engineering forums or not!

There are quite a few others that could have easily worn the hat this year: Brewnog, Q_Goest, Mech_Eng, stewartcs, mgb_phys (could have worn two hats!) and Mapes (among others).

Thanks again everyone.

[Math Jeans]

Wow - thanks and congratulations to everyone!!!!
I'm going to have to be more careful checking my answers now.

Don't worry. They won't take it away from you :tongue:.

[Gokul43201]

Congrats to all the winners.

Kurdt, treat it well. :teary:

[Kurdt]

Don't fear Gokul. I'll keep it warm for you until next year. :wink:

[G01]
