Well?

It was a nice little thing that bound us all together. Let's give Neil more work.

Yes, there are always posts that should be recognized for their brilliance.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I was never nominated for one the first time, so I say fuck no.

Nah.  I'll just put the important ones in my sig.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

No thanks, I don't need the reminder that Languish doesn't think I'm funny.  <_<

I'd give it a thumbs-up; Jacob's list in the Two Cows Politics thread made me really sad that there was nothing to nominate it for. :(
Experience bij!

Until then I'll just milk it for all it's worth.

I agree, Neil must spend time and energy entertaining me.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Meh, I think POTM makes people try too hard to get nominated, and usually the posts that are obvious attempts for a POTM get rewarded with a nomination out of politeness.

Sophie Scholl

"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

Well, the problem was that one month, there weren't.  Don't see why it couldn't have been continued, with no title awarded that month, though.

Politeness? THIS IS LANGUISH!

I think we had about 10 nominated posts per month. Hardly an avalanche of courtesy.
