Its given to a person who succeeds to (almost) kill himself in the most abso----smurfing----loutely ridiculous way.

I almost won it, but was in the end disqualified for actually killing myself.

Doesnt count man
You have to die on the start and not at the end

xar256 · « **Reply #4 on:** December 15, 2005, 08:39:12 pm »

No...I believe the qualifacations are to 'die or otherwise remove themselves from the genepool'.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #5 on:** December 15, 2005, 08:42:18 pm »

I would have to actually do stuff that would cause bodily harm to win the award and since blasting away at the keyboard isn't dangerous enough I will be unlikely to win the award

I almost won one as a kid when I sat on a 2 foot high anthill and got so many ant bites on my legs that I went into a toxic shock...

I have done many, many stupid things and hurt myself many, many times. But much like the Highlander, it would seem I am immortal.

There can be only one.

Giving the award to threads loses its appeal after 1000. Then it's just sad. Which is still funny.

In your case the council will make an exception.

You get the award for being BORN. (OUCH)

And on another note, killm hurt, smash, bang, whatever.
As long as its plain stupid, your a candidate

c64rulez · « **Reply #15 on:** December 16, 2005, 01:28:45 am »

I can now nominate myself (almost)
I just dragged my unfinished cab indoors (building took place outside the house, 15 meters away)
With no one to help me, and 10 meters of grain terrain between the cab and house, I decided rolling the cab on two boards, replacing them, fore and aft.

For one thing, the ---smurfette--- is heavy.
For the second, dark clouds above were just perfect for getting an award.

Luckily, It did not rain. I wonder if I would have posted here anything if it would have.

ChadTower · « **Reply #16 on:** December 16, 2005, 09:44:28 am »

Not unless you left it out there.

The cabs can get wet, they can get hosed down and cleaned with water. You just can't saturate them.

c64rulez · « **Reply #17 on:** December 16, 2005, 09:49:10 am »

I wanted to hose it. I swear I did want to.

When you start your own website, playing god is one of the priveledges that comes with the starter kit.

Now everybody stop talking to c64 so he gets back to working on his cab. I wanna see it get finished before he achieves a banning. He's not grasping that the guy who pays for things makes the rules whether you like it or not.

Anyway I'm currently working on my frontend. news on that soon.
