GBT Darwin Awards

Lets get this thing going seeing as I can't keep my mouth shut, I am now left with this enormous task... But I will tackle it with the energy of youth and passion of an Italian man.. lol

Anyway...

Here are the categories so far:

Blonde of the month - (For those who had a serious brain fart somewhere in the month IE Stationary trucks, beepeaters etc)

Contributer of the month - (For those that actually contribute towards the website Trip reports, fact files, etc)

Quizmaster of the month - (For those who either give a great quiz or those who excelled at answering them)

Chaser/twitcher of the month - (For those who just had to climb mountains and swim through croc infested rivers to spot that elusive bird)

Spinner of the Month - (This award will be safe where it belongs, me think)

Bird Brains of the month - (for those who delivered great advice and gave telling facts regarding anything bird related and not about how to get 10 kieries out of a fish)

Clown of the Month - (For those who delivered a ROFLMAO joke)

As mentioned before I think we should nominate one person on a rotational basis to the select the winners of the month as to give every member a fair chance of capping a nice award above his avatar.

The Award giver will also have fun by selecting the awards as he/she needs to go and award the prestigious Altzheimers award to one lucky trekkie.

The big Kahoona's of the forum will use their little admin tools and create the title as soon as the winners are selected...

From next month I will keep a spreadsheet with the active members and will give the certain members whose chance it is to nominate the winners a PM to let them know that it is their turn...

Anybody wish to nominate themselves as the Award giver this month?
