Delirium?

Oh, good. At least it's temporary.

Retroit, have we ever actually met?!

Retroit · March-06-10, 04:12 PM

Best Understanding of the Esoteric Principles of the Universe: Gannon

Is that better?

As for us meeting: if I told you, I'd have killed you.

If you're taking this seriously, you're giving me way too much credit.

NO, I'm laughing my ass off...sorry for the lack of smileys. I have an allergy...

Best Delirium: Gannon

Sounds more like a Danny category.

**Gannon** · March-06-10, 08:44 PM

Can't we be nominated for more than one? I'd love to see the voting between Danny and me.

I'm still trying to think of novel categories and the personalities to back them up.

I've got one good one: Most likely to be a government spy.

I'll save my nomination for that one for a moment.

And no, please don't make any categories that use the word paranoid.

In my mind, Academy Award nominations just haven't been the same since this guy wrote and directed a film that was nominated as a documentary and which won an Oscar - reminiscent of when this guy was nominated and won a Nobel Peace Prize.

Nonetheless, I thank the nominating committee!
