By the way, I have researched the etymology of 'schtup' - based in Yiddish
it has long been regarded as a term of endearment. Are you sure you didn't
mean '[censored]' which has a somewhat different connotation?

You disappoint me. I really, really expected you to bring up Nazis.

That's the second time you have ventured he N*** word, desperately
hoping I suspect that some kind soul will invoke "Godwin" and spare
you any further humiliation!! ;o)

HAGW!!

TFIF!

Charles, I thought the N** word was '[censored]'. Are you saying that Dally is
black as well? so a Jewish black lady? Preposterous! Next you'll be saying
she is a lesbian.
Dally - *please* get into your underwear and post another photo right away
to clear this up for us!

No mate, that's the other N***** word which has five asterisks in it.
This N*** word is all to do with Godwin's Law:

en.wikipedia.orgGodwin's lawOpen ↗

And as Dally was the first to mention the N*** word, not once but
*twice*, means effectively that she loses the argument!!

HAGW!

Charles said:

You may well be crowing prematurely, which is always a foolish thing
to do.

There is still a long way to go before any such award can be made,
including the validity of the grounds for nomination, and taking into
account that there is a proposed and seconded counter nomination.

Also, as it is only the 5th August, it is premature to decide so early
that more deserving recipients won't present themselves before the end
of the month.

The primary hurdle is not the nomination itself. Being the only candidate is
not sufficient enough to win IOM. Indeed, if that were the case, one could be
awarded IOM on the basis of the opinions of two people (a nominator and a
seconder).

The real challenge is that he also needs to obtain more than 400 votes, even if
there are no other nominees. This is not a given, even if he is the only
nominee.

You are being extremely gender specific ("he"😉 unless you too are
being premature and expecting your nomination for David the Oz to
proceed without further ado.

Given that we now have two nominations, with Dally hovering perilously
close to another, with two references quite inappropriately concerning
the N*** word, the field would appear to be wide open.

The voting is of course important but only once the nominations have
been validated. Of course that will require Art to possess the wisdom
of Solomon if the interests of justice and fair play are to be seen to
have been his paramount consideration, which I am satisfied they will.

Before the learned professor counts his chickens it might be prudent to
point out that I have had more support for my position here than he has.
Plus when you take into account that he has a few buddies here who make up
the bulk of the 2 or 3 supporters that he has had, it suggests that his
nomination may be a dismal failure.

John, I need to engage you as my counsel in this little IOM matter.

My learned friend, Donovan (wussy runner and scholar 'par excellence'😉 and I
have been engaged in a debate about the definition of 'athlete'. His
position is that a person can be labelled 'athlete' simply by having trained
and participated in an event. There is no requirement as to this "athlete'
s" proficiency or achievements. Therefore a grossly overweight and barely
mobile person in theory can be labelled 'athlete'.

Doesn't that translate into essentially every adult human being on
earth? I can't think of anyone I know who has not at least minimally
trained for and participated in some event.

If a word's meaning devolves to a description of almost everyone then
doesn't it lost any descriptive power? If we started to talk about
who is fat and the description eventually boiled down to almost
everyone then what is the use of the word?

Who here would truly feel they are being honest if they told a person,
"oh I'm an athlete" because they signed up for a fun run and walked an
18 minute per mile pace?
