2007 Wincustomize Senior of the Year Contest

Yep, It’s that time of year again………..The 2007 Wincustomize Senior of the Year award………….

The naughty little schoolboy in me can’t be denied……I dared myself…….and I’ll tell you, it took a lot of soul searching and courage…….but in the end I thought "Hell, what the heck"………..I fully expect to be thrown in the Wincustomize Dungeons and left to rot but that’s life…………or death, in this case!!!

So before I announce my choice of candidates and a little introduction piece for them I would like you to know that there are three very luxurious prizes, up for grabs, for your chosen winner:-

A night out with Po’ and Skinhit at a restaurant of your choice. A crash helmet together with two dog muzzles will be supplied.

A weeks Computer Engineering Course with Kona. Normally you would be expected to to get this qualification over a year but Kona is offering a ‘crash’ course which can be completed in a week………….or ten minutes……whichever you prefer.

A full autographed copy of all of Alperium’s work. Yep, I purchased 1,492 CD RW discs to put these on, from PC World. You will be the envy of the whole of China with this fabulous prize.

So without further ado I’ll introduce my candidates – Please feel free to add some of your own during the thread…………..

Jafo……..Where would we be without this man? A stalwart in every department. A man of many words and many that I don’t understand. Do you know I read one of his answers in one of the forum threads, the other day, fifteen times…..Yep, 15 frickin’ times and I’m still none the wiser. I think he was saying ‘No you’re not doing that" but still not sure. Perhaps the intellectual bodies in Australia communicate this way? Or perhaps all the noise from those motor racing engines has caused this ‘speech impediment’. A guy whose credentials speak for themselves. I love this man.

Fuzzy………A British Bulldog if ever there was one. A nice guy who deals firmly with any transgressions and does not suffer fools gladly. Sometimes gives the impression that he got out of bed the wrong side but hey! it happens to the best of us. He obviously loves the Austrian hills. Did you know the Austrians are renowned makers of the ‘Cuckoo Clock’?…..or was that Switzerland?………… which in itself tells you a lot about this guy. A man who climbs mountains for this site.

Zubaz…………Our trusty American steed. He’s like a ray of sunshine and my dog. Always around when you need him. That’s when he’s not trying to give kisses and huggles to Brad, Zoomba and the rest of Stardock. This guy is the world’s best speller. Who says so? He did and I believe him. He says he is writing his own book on OS Customization. I pity the poor bastards who have to read it!!!! Send it to Jafo, first, for a spell check before you publish. Zu, as he is affectionately known by some of us is everywhere on this site and is always at hand to help with anything. Hey Zu, my bicycle has a puncture have you got two minutes to spare. This man is ‘the best’. Why? He told me so.

Boxxi………Another British ‘Master" who has more creative skill in his little finger than I have in the whole of my body. I have virtually all his skins, in fact I now have an ‘outfit’ made by him for every occasion. There’s not enough room on my computer so I have to hang them up in my closet with the rest of my clothes, much to my wife’s annoyance. A man with unrivalled artist ability who skills are like a good wine……..they mature with age and just keep getting better and better.

Quentin………He’s a relatively new ‘Wizop’ but his work speaks volumes for his character and skills. He’s French, you know. The Brits and French don’t usually get along but since watching the films Ratatouille and The Pink Panther, I’ve seen these French guys in a different light. Yep, they are wonderful human beings and totally misunderstood. Seriously, people, this guy Quentin is a nice guy. This man has proven his worth to the community at every level and was deservedly promoted to the highest level. A really really nice guy.

Wom, Erk and Koasati……….These guys are like submarines. They run silently and just below the waves but when they surface they always have something important to say and you would be wise to read and inwardly digest their every word. Never piss these guys off because remember all submarines carry torpedoes and you don’t want to be on the wrong end of one of those. No, seriously, three great guys who are truly magnificent specimens of seaman………..Did I spell that right? Oh! well. They are like the three Wincustomize Admirals of the Sea.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you without further ado our ‘Seniors’………Please give them a warm hand………No, guys that means a round of applause not a slap round the head………..

Please feel free to add any additional candidates or your own thoughts why one of these great people deserve the wonderful prizes on offer…………If you dare!!!!!.......there’s plenty of room in those Dungeons………..

Vote now!!!!!!

How does the saying go…………"Light blue ‘touch paper’ and retire to a safe distance"………

Thanks, Bryan. As you guessed it's 'tongue in cheek' and I hope I don't offend anyone. Thanks for your messsage the other day.......the family are fine and our 'new addition' Mark is now 4 weeks old and growing quickly. Hope your family are well too and that your tooth - or the hole - is much better. Take care  :)

At least you know the reason for your exiling  ;p

As for the prizes - I'd rather stand on top of some tall step ladders in the middle of Baghdad wearing a luminous Stars & Stripes outfit.

Still would be much safer than standing behind a certain pirate cap'n after he's consumed a bowl of curried cabbage. :LOL:

what about a night with Fuzzy?.........you KNOW im partial to vulcans......

He'll grab me by the waist and transport me to some unihabited planet where chocolate stars fall from the sky........hehehe :LOL: 

then he will get sick of saying 'yes dear.....yes dear......' cause he knows i never shutup, then he gives me one of his nerve pinches, and I end up in some strange white room with wires connected to my brain......

its now up to the aliens to figure out my brain functions.....humans cant seem to put a finger on the problem......


AS for Starkers, yeah all pirates are scallywags and cant be trusted, Starkers met me in Singapore and promised me a ride on the black pearl.........never happened.....*rolls eyes*........ :LOL:

Sharing the shower wasn't enough for you?

The First Law of Metaphysics states 'Nothing unreal exists'. As your thinking is unreal, logic dictates you do not have brain functions to figure out. This would explain why no-one can find the problem...

How long does it take to say "Windows is crap and so is everything not made in the USA"? ....;)

My guess is there'd be 26 seconds spare ....;)

I see the word 'Exiled' got mentioned. Does that mean that I get banished and can go be a 'pirate' with Starkers. Anythings better than those creepy dungeons  (:(
