The Minsky Moment

July 19, 2011, 10:05:46 AM
POTM is a paradox thing; doesn't really fit into the ethos here.  But I agree with Zoupa we need some contest of communal recognition.  But to be consistent with the spirit of languish, it should be sarcastic, with a strong strain of mean-spiritedness; something that prompts bad blood, threats of ragequitting, and flamewars.

I propose:

The Worst Post of the Month award.

When I saw the thread title, it made me think of the WNBA.  :yuk:

What about the Languish presidency?

Tried to one-down your post, but I think I failed.
