221.0. "1991 NoTY Contest Rules" by CSTEAM::FARLEY (Ski Drood(tm) Valley-Great Moguls!) Wed Dec 11 1991 22:09

    Well Noters and RONs alike, it seems to be time to reflect upon the
    lasted(tm) 11.75 months activity here and selects that one member who
    is worthy of the distinctive title of "1991 NoTY".
    
    To prevent some of the less honorable or flagrant "coup detait's"
    we've seen in the past, here is how this one is gonna work.
    
    1) This topic shall be used for ONLY nominating candidates.  It is
    preferred that special care be taken to include "real good" extracts
    with the reason why your candidate should be the winner.  (naturally, 
    ::lduc comments and debates are also encouraged.
    
    2) During the month of December those who want to vote for a candidate
    are instructed to mail to me your selection.  Vote as often as you want
    and for as many people as you want.  I'll tally the results at the end
    of the month and announce the winnah!
    
    3) 	*TO PREVENT THE SUGGESTION OF IMPROPRIETARY BEHAVIOR, I AM NOT AND
    WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY NOMINATION OR VOTES FOR 1991 NoTY*
    
    4) Keep a cc: copy of your messages to me and I'll maijntain a complete
    list of everything I get and after the final announcement, I'll divulge
    who did what to whom and when  just to keep it fun.
    
    5) I trust you'll all abide by the spirit of the note and comply with
    the rules.
    
    Your LWV representative,
    Kev

    btw, I am fully aware that expecting you FL's to follow rules is
    like performing a certain biological function under high wind
    conditions (aka PIW) but I didn't wanna soil my original posting
    with such a cynical type comment but consider it as if it were there!

    Kev, 
    
    Kin we vote AGAINST people?  I'd like that to be a_option, too.
    
    I'd like to nominate monseigneur_t based on the (flawed but
    nonetheless worthy) essay on the ontology of hockey appended below.
    
    And, secretly, behind t's back, I'd like to cast many votes and
    aspersions against his name based on general principles.

Note 149.5                        SPORTS THEORY                          5 of 13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Hockey, as a defensive orientATed continuous state game, engenders
    fan stress in a "roller coaster" manner, with the fans mental state
    alternating between elation and fear as play centers around either
    the vistors' and homies' goal respectively.  Hockey fans are drawn
    into a continuous mental state that acts as a real-time analog to 
    what is happening on the ice.  This results in a form of manic
    obsessiveness, one that is heightened with the added dimension of 
    hot goalie play - ("no, I will not be penetrated by your advances 
    and I reject you" or "yes, penetration is complete and it was good")
    - and also the added dimension of the power play ("you are outnumbered,
    so just lay back and enjoy it").  The game of hockey is emblematic of
    mankind's territorial imperative, and succeeds in delivering in its
    fans the cathartic experience of agressive behavior at the direct 
    expense of approach-avoidance behaviors.  When the red light blinks
    after a goal, it symbolizes to the fan either a brief moment of blind
    euphoria or gloom.  Then the fan gets back on the "roller coaster" for
    another spin, his/her adrenaline gland all the while flapping open and
    closed as the object of frustrated desire, the puck, attempts to make
    good its threats of penetration yet again.
    
    Where football stands as an analog to our race memory of military conquest
    and organizational forms; hockey appeals to something much deeper, more
    primordial in nature: the pack instinct.  That the players are donned in
    uniforms not dissimilar to those of pre-medieval warriors presents to the
    fan a "cultural signature" only reinforced by the fact that the players
    carry clubs in their hands and wear knives on their feet.  That the puck
    as the object of desire and the center of attention resembles an offal
    that has been flattened underfoot signifies the intensely anal retentive
    nature of organized warfare and the pack's assertive desire to slap such
    group-based repression away.
    
    This psychological milieu naturally intensifies by a_order of magnitude
    as the territory becomes more valuable, the symbolic hymen more pure.

221.3Hey if MikeC can be "ABB" maybye it could be done?CSTEAM::FARLEYSki Drood(tm) Valley-Great Moguls!Wed Dec 11 1991 23:1511
    Hmmm, votes AGAINST candidates?????  Charlie, ya may have something
    there. Votes AGAINST candidates could be subtracted from the FOR votes.
    Hmmmm...
    I could also visualize that process as a way to determine the other
    side of the spectrum.  What could it be named?  1991 DNoty?
    
    Lemme think about your suggestion for a bit.  It does have merit but
    I'm not sure "pending further review"!

    Heck, I ain't gonna try to extract any previous notes, I'm just gonna
    nominate John Hendry.  While I consider quite a few of my fellow noters
    to be worthy of nomination, I give special note to John because of his
    taking the time and effort to answer many, many questions posed in
    here.
    
    John doesn't often get emotional in his noting.  He usually sticks to
    statistics and facts.  And, when he does entry a bogus fact or number,
    he is quick to call attention to it and make the correction.  Me, I
    wait for someone else to find my errors.  Used to keep the Dinz pretty
    busy!  :*)
    
    Anyway, John Hendry for NOTY 1991!

221.9What is/should the criteria be?CST17::FARLEYSki Drood(tm) Valley-Great Moguls!Thu Dec 12 1991 11:4022
    Hawk,
    
    Tis true that Sid's Leadville entries rank among the highest quality
    stuff even entered in here.  This raises an interesting question
    though.  Just what does NoTY mean?  Sid's put in maybe 20 or so notes
    for the year (and all high quality too) but he is mostly a RON and
    hasn't tried to be a F_L!   Others here cover the entire spectrum of
    subjects and foster continued "dialog" (ha!).  
    Others here also have a flair for excellent writing too (i.e. 'Saw's
    much looked for holiday essays - Memorial day, 4th, Bird-day, and of
    course, the Christmas thang)
    Is humorous entries part of the criteria?
    What about considering those who have endured the most abuse but still
    endure (ACC Chris and Hal immediately come to mind)?
    
    Should the 1991 NoTY awards have several catagories?  I mean, there are
    MVP's (Like NoTY), 6th man awards, Athelete of the year, etc.  
    
    ????

    NOTY should be the award give to whoever garnishes the most votes. 
    Heck, one year the damn award was bought!  So, base your vote on
    whatever you think the criteria should be, not what others decide.

    uncanny ability to get things set hidden or write locked.  
    
    I second 'Saw's nomination 'cause he saved this notesfile.  And he

221.46sorta like a "Meet the Candidates" nightCST17::FARLEYfeed your Xmas Drood(tm) BethleHAM and CheeseFri Dec 13 1991 12:1619
    
    Being a very firm believer of "an informed electorate is a smart
    electorate" I thought, despite the obvious fact that it is impossible
    for F_L's to be smart, it would help the voters immensely if we
    mimmicked a process which has been suggested in an internal-financially
    oriented notesfile which has reecently been somewhat active (and a
    certain ranking member of this community frequently participates in
    [hint-can you say Mod and BoD?]).
    
    The suggestion is for those who have been nominated to write a
    qualifications memo telling the voters why they should be voted
    "1991 NoTY".
    
    In the interest of fairness and equal time, would the candidates
    please limit their explainations to <500 lines?  ;^)

All I will say is that I enjoy noting in SPORTS, and I enjoy writing
the essays because I feel it's a form of self-expression that makes
me happy.  I've heard from others that they smile also when reading
the Chainsaw's essays.

That is the real reward for me.

    		      the barroom of SPORTS_91; provides plethora of
                      useful information; has a dearth enemies in SPORTS_91

    Saw, you cain't be serious.  Or has the title changed?
    
    Are we voting for NoterOfTheYecade?  I can't see how you can possibly
    nominate TURBO:CONTROL when he ain't noted for at LEAST 2 years or
    more.
    
    Hoot and Monty can't win, cause they didn't really do much in 1991. 
    Remember, their most active time was during Football season. 
    Unfortunately, they left WAAAAAY before that season.
    
    Now, a guy like my nominee, John Hendry, wouldn't have made such a
    miscue.  Furthermore, John will NEVER suffer from a broken arm caused
    by patting himself on the back, as SOME other nominees do.  Matter of

    SPORTS_91 UPDATE !!!!!
    
    Maynard, MA (Midnight Press International) - The world of
    CAM3::SPORTS_91 was rocked a few minutes ago by a flawlessly executed
    "mercy coup" which has vaulted George "Dr Midnight" Brooks into the
    NoTY 1991 office.
    
    His coup/victory was the result of a coalition across SPORTS, including
    several of SPORTS most influential and respected noters who are
    supporting The Doctor because of his integrity in standing against the
    various Jihads, and against the demagoguary of various noters.
    
    Mr Midnight will speak in a press conference that will come shortly ...

    I aim shocked and dismayed that I aim only in 3rd place in the 
    NoTY voting thus far.  What does it take to please you people.
    I've laid it all on the line for you people and this is the 
    "appreciation" I get.  Oh sure, I'm not as WONDERFUL as Medvid,
    who sits around all day bragging about all these beautiful babes
    he's consorting with.  Wail, maybe some of us are too discrete and
    modest to engage in issuing porno for the craven and the vicarious.
    What's the problem.  Was it my courageous-but-unpopular stand on
    Tragic Johnson.  The spike in activity in the Bob > Dean debate, 
    where we've barely scratched the surface as far as I aim concerned.
    What more cain I do.  I don't claim to be Mr. Perfect, after having
    been busted for one innocent college prank and then, years after let
    off probation, falling into a horrible miscommunication over in 189.

I hereby votes for the Slasher.

At a time when everyone is concerned about being politically correct,
/Don has come out of the closet, so to speak, and taken that unpopular if
not ridiculous position of supporting Dean Smith and his No Carolina Tar
Heel Basketball System. And this is after last season's tourney loss to
Kansas that included such highlights as Rick Fox clanging, Dean getting
the thumb, and Dean congratulating the Kansas players with time on the
clock. Anyone who can jump on that bandwagon has got to deserve some type
of consideration.

The Commisioner, along with the help of his League of Bikini Team voters
have collected the ballot boxes, removed the contents and spent many
12 oz. containers while tallying the results of the "1991 Noty" elections.

Forthwith are the results (drum roll pleeze)

Candidates to be congratulated because their activities during the year
were viewed by others to be significant enough to warrant a vote and thereby 
garner the "Special Praise In Tribute" Award (S.P.I.T.)

    it is important at this juncture to point out that whenever raw
    numbers flow into the lab it is a incumbent duty to ferret out
    their true meaning in a interpretative, but certainly still strictly
    Objective, process...
    
    Way, you got the Award cuz everybody feels so indebted to you for
    having rolled out the hardware to keep this file alive.  They didn't
    give you the Award for your wit or your writing or your analyses.
    
    Lissen up buddy, take away your cruddy computer and axe yourself who
    was the star in this file?  Who?  Moi, c'est ca.  *MOI*.
    
    NoTY shouldn't be for which sportsmain visited the most children's
    hospital wards or raised the most money in United Way (bad pun fully
    and unapologetically intended) or loaned the most computer hardware.
    
    NoTY should go to who typed the best texts, who had the courage and
    vision to take on Convential Wisdom, bad poetry, and rotten little
    trouble-making heels.
    
    Who did that.  Moi.  Who deserves to be '91 NoTY.  Moi.  Pas toi.

For me, today was one of those days that you'd like to Rewind and Erase.

So, after a shitty, shitty, day, I come in here, and the first note
I see is MrT's congratulations.

Poor MrT, you have me seriously rollward.  That note, and the notes that
followed it are the kinds of things that keep people from going home
and sucking on the ends of .357 Magnums, thus playing Wheel of Fortune
with their frontal lobes......


And Bob Hunt, just when I thought I couldn't laugh any harder, through
the tears in my eyes, I see you referencing the New Orleans-Norfolk
tidbit...


Too funny.....

MrT, you had your chance for NOTY the year Metz bought it.  The NoTY 
award had degenerated into some sort of tag-team event that year. Myself 
and a few others thought this wasn't right.  The NoTY going to a tag-team
just could't happen. At one point you were the only announced candidate that
had not picked a tag-team partner (more likely noone would accept) and because
of this I was going to award you the NOTY.  Then you went and annouced someone 
(who was it?) as your partner.  I was then forced to do what I did.

Tradition is never original.

To a person of Scottish descent, the skirl of the pipes harkens back to
an ancestral homeland.  While perhaps not one of the myriad pipe songs
handed down from ancient Scotland, Amazing Grace fits the pipes really
well.

If you've ever been to a Fire Dept funeral, where pipers pipe Amazing
Grace, you know the emotive power the tune can bring forth.

Personally, I like The Flower of Scotland, played by a lone piper.  It
is, to a person of Scottish descent, what Danny Boy is to the Irish....

Unfortunately, the one good pipe band around here won't accept people
over 15 to learn to play the pipes, because the guy who runs it says
(quote) "I don't think older people can learn.  they won't put the effort
into it"....
