    Replace whip with rip and you've got the theme song.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Your idea has deeply offended him, and I can't blame him.

    Originally, I thought the awards would apply to posters which I thought would be interesting. But, the more I think about it, the more the awards really need to be in a poll format. If you had a poll format, you'd be leaving off too many posters, so I agree with the idea of selecting players for awards as there is a relatively small number of players/blazer employees.

    There should also be some simple rules for sake of our sanity like "No writing in Rebecca Harlow for every award!"

    What is this a song about bong hits?!

    "When a bong is fully loaded, you must rip it! When you're ready to shot to the dome, you must rip it! Rip it, rip it good!"

    We'll do a few posters awards. Have a nomination thread then a voting thread. But mostly we'll do players, places and people.

    I could still use a few ideas for categories.

    These are going to be an annual award so home game sign of the year would be best.

    actually, I think it'd be good to have an award after every home playoff game.

    And them throwing it a garbage can while saying, "what the hell is this" would make an incredible acceptance video.

    Did you see the gaudy looking cheap plastic trophy I picked out?
