1 - crispee - Although both no longer post here, I'll have to go with crispee simply because I have never seen a jamcracker post since I have been here. 16 - jamcracker 8- grummet 9 - Manny_Ramirez - Well, of course, I'm going to vote for myself. 5 - Rocketman Tex - I could go either way here but I think that Rocketman Tex is slightly better. 12 - crash5179 4 - Grizzled - Has held his own in the political threads. 13 - Kim 3 - tacoma park legend - One of my favorite posters in the Rockets forum. 14 - leebigez 6 - mc mark - A tough one...both are excellent, but I have to give the nod to mc mark, one for his musical tastes. 11 - Hoop-T 7 - Dreamshake 10 - Castor27 - Castor is an underrated poster. 2 - Rimbaud - probably the smartest poster here on this BBS. 15 - Rocketbooster
1 - crispee*** 16 - jamcracker 8- grummet 9 - Manny_Ramirez*** 5 - Rocketman Tex 12 - crash5179*** 4 - Grizzled 13 - Kim*** 3 - tacoma park legend*** 14 - leebigez 6 - mc mark*** 11 - Hoop-T 7 - Dreamshake 10 - Castor27*** 2 - Rimbaud*** 15 - Rocketbooster This is by far one of the most interesting brackets.
jamcracker (why not? he's not going to win, he may as well get a vote ) Manny Rocketman Tex Grizzled tpl mc mark Castor27 Rimbaud
Winners in bold. 1 - crispee 16 - jamcracker: This is more a vote against crispee's huge, over-inflated ego than anything else. 8- grummet: Great one-liners. 9 - Manny_Ramirez 5 - Rocketman Tex 12 - crash5179: Tex once crapped in a box and sent it to someone. That's disgusting. 4 - Grizzled: Have to support my Canadian brethren. *waves the maple leaf* 13 - Kim 3 - tacoma park legend: TPL has the edge. 14 - leebigez 6 - mc mark: Tough match. 11 - Hoop-T 7 - Dreamshake 10 - Castor27: Dreamshake can get pretty tempermental sometimes. 2 - Rimbaud: I like rim's posts. 15 - Rocketbooster
1 - crispee 16 - jamcracker 8- grummet 9 - Manny_Ramirez - Good poster and cool guy to talk with in chat. 5 - Rocketman Tex 12 - crash5179 - Like his posts..not too familiar with RT's posts since most are in hangout which I don't read too often 4 - Grizzled - Flipped a coin...Grizzled won 13 - Kim 3 - tacoma park legend - One of the better posters imo 14 - leebigez 6 - mc mark 11 - Hoop-T - Toughest matchup in the bracket for me. I like both, but Hoop-T gets the slight nod. 7 - Dreamshake 10 - Castor27 - Another good poster and cool guy to talk with in chat. 2 - Rimbaud - Very funny guy 15 - Rocketbooster
1 - crispee - At least he's not a pansy. 9 - Manny_Ramirez - He didn't vote for me, but this poor attention starved mental case needs all the help he can get. 5 - Rocketman Tex - Who the **** is crash, and why is his moniker so bad? 13 - Kim - Yeah right, like im gonna vote for a Grizzball. 3 - tacoma park legend - This guy seems horribly overrated. Reminds me of the whole Tony Parker/Jesus thing. But he does have some quality posts. 11 - Hoop-T - I like Hoop-T, I think... 10 - Castor27 - Castor is the 23rd brightest star in the night's sky. 15 - Rocketbooster - Rimbaud is an arrogant b*stard. Maybe he is really smart, but I've always maintained that the truly intelligent don't go lording their cranial capacity over others with less to work with. Plus, those cheap shot posts he has really annoy me. Like he will butt in the middle of an argument with a snide remark or two.
And the difficult choices continue. 1 - crispee 16 - jamcracker 8- grummett 9 - Manny_Ramirez 5 - Rocketman Tex 12 - crash5179 4 - Grizzled 13 - Kim 3 - tacoma park legend 14 - leebigez 6 - mc mark 11 - Hoop-T 7 - Dreamshake 10 - Castor27 2 - Rimbaud 15 - Rocketbooster
Hope you're feeling better Puedlfor. <b>1 - crispee </b> - He'll probably be back eventually 16 - jamcracker 8- grummet <b>9 - Manny_Ramirez </b> To spite (and probably partially because of) that little argument we got into in early Sept he gets my vote <b>5 - Rocketman Tex </b> 12 - crash5179 4 - Grizzled <b>13 - Kim </b> Cant really think of anything from either of them except Kim's post A Little War Time Entertainment from back in September. I'm sure reposting that would help with the voting <b>3 - tacoma park legend </b> 14 - leebigez <b>6 - mc mark </b> 11 - Hoop-T <b>7 - Dreamshake </b> 10 - Castor27 <b>2 - Rimbaud </b> 15 - Rocketbooster
1 - crispee 9 - Manny_Ramirez 12 - crash5179 4 - Grizzled 3 - tacoma park legend 6 - mc mark 7 - Dreamshake 2 - Rimbaud
1 - crispee (I pity anyone who had to have this matchup... he's just too good) 16 - jamcracker 8- grummet 9 - Manny_Ramirez (this is a best poster contest, not a smartest poster contest... no offense to either of you guys) 5 - Rocketman Tex (this one was very difficult... crash has some very good posts, but...) 12 - crash5179 4 - Grizzled (relatively easy - no offense Kim) 13 - Kim 3 - tacoma park legend (tough one - both are first notch, but TPL spells correctly...) 14 - leebigez 6 - mc mark abstain - even match 11 - Hoop-T 7 - Dreamshake (good poster) 10 - Castor27 2 - Rimbaud (tough one, because RB is very good... but I must choose my 'enemy') 15 - Rocketbooster Is it just me, or do these brackets get harder the further they go? Everyone mentioned is good, and I respect everyone who has been mentioned so far. These last few brackets, though... Very difficult.
alright then: 1 - crispee 9 - Manny_Ramirez (since he's in love with one of my friends...) 5 - Rocketman Tex 4 - Grizzled 3 - tacoma park legend 6 - mc mark 10 - Castor27 (EVERYONE should vote for castor, he's one of the coolest guys around) 2 - Rimbaud
crispee -- never heard of jamcracker manny -- a kind and diligent poster abstain grizzled -- haven't seen any stupid posts from grizzled; which is not to say that I have seen stupid posts from kim; it's just to say that I vote for grizzled abstain abstain abstain rimbaud -- even though I think his intelligence is overrated by many on the board. . . did he solve cancer? what?
1 - crispee ...what's wrong? come back. Are you angry with Clutch? or because of that damn rap music? 16 - jamcracker ...hey!, wait a minute ain't you and crispee the same..never mind. 8- grummet 9 - Manny_Ramirez ...If I knew about more stuff and talked more, I'd be more like this guy... A cool person to talk to...and a pretty well rounded poster. Manny is a definite triple double threat...He can say something interesting, and worthy in the Rockets forum, Hang with the hangers in hangout and cliq with the really, really hyper intelligent people in fantasy...(brace your selfs)...He may well be the best overall poster. 5 - Rocketman Tex ... Rocketman Tex drinks Dr. Pepper. 12 - crash5179 4 - Grizzled ...I wish I could hunt Grizzlies in O Canada! 13 - Kim 3 - tacoma park legend ...unsure, no vote here 14 - leebigez...unsure, no vote here 6 - mc mark 11 - Hoop-T ...How can we forget T-pooh? 7 - Dreamshake ...no vote 10 - Castor27 ...no vote 2 - Rimbaud ...This guy is NOT bantha fodder. 15 - Rocketboost
