61.0. "1990 RON AWARD" by DASXPS::TIMMONS (I'm a Pepere!) Thu Jan 10 1991 11:19

    After reading the note on 1990 NOTY awards, I was inspired to suggest
    that we have a companion award, that being ROTY, Read-only Of The Year.
    I'm sure that there are many RON's out that that are deserving of this
    award, mainly for putting up with the rest of us for a whole year.
    
    Anyway, I'd like to nominate two RON's for the award.
    
    Unfortunately, I don't have their names 'cause they've never written in
    here, not even the Intro note.
    
    So, I'll just call them Nominee #1 and Nominee #2.  Voting will be
    determined by the moderators, hopefully we have a RON moderator who
    will determine how to do this, but won't be able to tell us cause he's
    a RON.
    
    If any of you true RON's out there feel you are more deserving of this
    prestigeous award than Nominee's #1 and #2, please don't write in and
    tell us about yourself.  You shouldn't tell us how often you read, or
    how many notes you go thru.  Nor how long you've been a RON, or even if
    you name is Ron.
    
    Any of you who do write in are immediately disqualified, so don't keep
    those cards and letters coming, folks.
    
    The award ceremony will not be held on Feb 1, 1991, at 7 PM at whatever
    bar the Hawk is working.  All of you are not invited, and we hope you
    don't have a wonderful time.  However, in the interest of furthering
    Hawk's childrens college fund, please send him his tips for the drinks
    that you didn't buy.  
    
    lEe (Hawks manager, who gets 10% off the top.  Hawk can't afford to
    give ANYTHING off the top, so send me the 10% directly.)  :*)

It's gotta be MrT...  He has affected this conference in so many ways, and yet
there's no evidence that he was ever here.
61.3MCIS1::DHAMELEnthusiasm, Innovation, PerseverenceThu Jan 10 1991 13:4013
    
    I wanted to nominate a dyslexic RON buddy of mine, who has had to
    overcome a lot in getting through this file.  The only thing he fully
    understands are the "deen to wonk" references.
    
    But being a true RON, he declined by saying:
    
    
    "...                                                  ."

61.13ACChris: RONHBAHBA::HAASBig Smile at the DrivethroughThu Jan 10 1991 17:198
It looks like we can nominate newly RON, ACCChris Knorr. Haven't seen him
in this year's model of SPORTS but I heard him groan the other day when
MrT was offering support for his self-and-invalidly-proclaimed claim for
NoTY, using a "conviction" in the trial, when us jury types new that it
was a_acquital: not guilty due to insanity, possession, and/or the 
debil-made-him-do-dat.

    I'd just like to thank all of you that supported me throughout this
    campaign, although I feel there were more deserving candidates. Thanks
    for the vote of confidence, Mike. If I put forth the effort that I know
    I can, I should be able to retain the title again in 92'.

61.22[ISFH]MCIS1::DHAMELForgot to cut my imbecilical cordFri Feb 14 1992 19:4315
    
    So what's the criteria for a RON winner?
    
    First of all, Mr. CNTROL::SALMON, you entered a note, which should
    be a disqualification.  Next, is this a speed test?  How many WPM's
    can you read?  Next, about the endurance part of the competition:
    can you honestly say you read all of MrT's notes from border to
    border?
    
    Are you a professional proofreader?  90 proof?  150 proof?
    
    Do you know what DEEN TO WONK means?

Jimbo, don't remind me.


I think JOe lost a little weight during the off-season.  Now he's faster
and big.  


(If he lifted weights, he'd be awesome!)
