The 5th Annual Brinty Awards

[grizindabox]

Due to the inclement weather and a lack of internet services in Idaho, the 5th Annual Brinty Awards, sponsored by:

were almost cancelled. I want to thank Governor Butch Otter and his staff for declaring a state of emergency and calling the International Rescue (IR) Team. With their efforts, internet service has been regained and the competition can go on. Due to the emergency, voting has been extended and ends Saturday at midnight.

On a sad note, during the rescue operations, Thunderbird 2 was lost after colliding with the lighted cross on the Boise foothills.

Unfortunately, all hands were lost in the collison. It is with heavy heart that I must report that Virgil Tracy lost his life in the heroic rescue.

I can think of no better way to honor the memory of Virgil and his total incompetence as to nominate UM75 for this year's Cry Baby Bed-Wetter Award. No one else seems to be able to crash a thread better and then bitch about it later.

Agreed. Could Ursa have just won a 2017 Brinty whilst posting about the 2016 Brintys? I'm nominating. POTY.

Thank you gentlemen!!

Day 6 of intermittent internet service. My household has devolved into complete barbarism. We are now forced to engage in interpersonal communication and board games for entertainment. Please send help!

Since I currently have internet service, I wanted to bring to folks attention the leader board race for the 2016 POTY. Currently Alabamagrizzly has a one vote lead over AZGrizFan and CDAGRIZ:

Three great choices. Good luck to all the nominees!

Vote now! voting ends Tuesday night:

Now Stitt is trying to fix our rusted old broke down Caddy and people want to fire him just as he's finishing the body work and the primer. Give him a chance to paint it first.

He would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, Alpha suggests you pick up a keyboard, and make a post. Either way, he doesn't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Solid work everybody. Thanks Ursa.

P.s. If you don't post against in a day or so, we'll send help. Remember to hydrate. And have proper ventilation if you have to burn the furniture.

 

[alabamagrizzly]

Thank you everyone, I am truly honored and at a loss for words. This will go down as one of the greatest achievements in my life and I will cherish this moment for ever. First I want to say this is not an individual award. EGriz is a team and a family and I couldn't have wrote this post w/out all of you. To exemplify this point, I was nominated by the man who would have won if not for nominating me. 75, 5700, and all the other itchy trigger finger Stitt bashers were my muse for this particular post. I definitely want to thank all of you. Last but first in my heart, I want to thank GOD. He is the way and the light and he is almost done punishing the Montana football team and its rabid fan base for all our past sins and transgressions and we are about to enter a glorious period in Grizzly football where the streets will be paved in gold and we will have no more cares and concerns. Well, except for 75, he'll never be happy.

[mtgrizrule]

I have a feeling there will be a few new blood candidates for the 2017 awards. We already know of 2 2017 recruits have fathers following and posting on EGRIZ. I so hope they can help put some of the idiots in there place and tone down the negativity here. I so miss some of the informative, level headed posters that used to frequent this site.

 

[Grizzly Oredigger]

Congrats from Tennessee, Alabama...you're one of the better posters on here.

OMG OMG OMG OMG

I was so sure I'd lose my thread killer statue this year especially since I inadvertently misplaced Ursa's . . . uh . . . rug . . . in a mini bar when we were vacationing in Condon. Not to imply that he and I were together together; Urs and I don't travel with the other much since the divorce. It is just really hard sharing a tiny yurt with 1, 2, 3 and 4 while wily Ursa cavorts with and assesses candidates for #6. He is fairly low key about it usually limiting his audition pieces to speed codpiece construction and toy rocket races. Except for Vera. VEER-ahhh. :x

Still it hurts. Anyhoo.

XOXOXO to all. I am truly humbled. And touched. Really touched. AoD

I was going to nominate you, but since nobody had seen or heard from you while you were ensconced in the loveshack in downtown Condon, I figured that some tragedy had occurred. I worried that maybe something had gone terribly wrong with your immense powers, your thread killer turned on you and... poof. I also worried that maybe Ursa was to blame for your disappearance. There are plenty of shady cats in Condon and lots of places to hide evidence, I'm kinda partial to Squeezer Creek myself. As you say, anyhoo, glad to hear that you are indeed among the living!
