Who knows what evil works in the hearts of men? Oh, sorry, where was I? Ah, yes, an award. I've noticed there have been some quality audio recordings floating around the non-UnNews section of Uncyclopedia, of late. And yet, there is no way to tell the difference between a quality Baghdad tourguide from random crap. So, I believe there should be some kind of award. Is this a good idea? Am I on crack? Will I ever stop with these infernal questions? Only time will tell...--<<>> 16:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Sir, am I to interpret by your barbed remarks, that my recording of AAAAAAAAA! is random crap? I must object. Nintendorulez likes it and even ED links to it.

Fine. Point taken. VFD it already. ~ T. (talk) 16:16, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, there were TWO AAAAAAAAA! recordings, as I recall...--<<>> 16:23, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

The only other AAAAAAAAA-like recording I'm aware of, other than mine, is yours. :) ~ T. (talk) 16:26, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

You see? I take care to mock myself whenever possible. That way I know that, when I get offended, I can always get back at myself.--<<>> 16:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay how about these suggestions: The AAAAAAAAA! Award with all A's for bad audio files, and the Yankovic award with an accordion icon for really funny audio files? --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 16:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I much prefer awarding good work, and I will of course love to name an award "The Yankee" after my hero.--<<>> 16:31, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

The Yankee sounds good. The AAAAee could be the bad award. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 17:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I think the AAAAAAAAA!ee award should be the official award for good regular audio's. It just fits. --Sir ENeGMA (talk) GUN WotM PLS 17:56, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Time for a vote. I'm only concerned with positive awards. Someone else can worry about what to call a negative award. ;)--<<>> 18:19, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

The "Weird Al Yankee Doodle Just Dandy award"? -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

Wurlitzer

Score: +2

• For Last Vote I swear. This looks awesome. Kudos to Modusoperandi. 09:22, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

  Thanks. Chimpanzees are automatically funny. and for, still.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 19:18, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Yankee

Score: +6?

• For I like this one, because it sounds like something else. Plus, naming excellence in audio after "Weird Al" just seems right, somehow.--<<>> 18:16, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• For Because A Tour of Baghdad was really aided by the audio treatment. --Sir ENeGMA (talk) GUN WotM PLS 19:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Conditional For. Change it to some other name because The Yankees suck. Crazyswordsman...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 19:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
• Conditional For. Needs a better name. --User:Nintendorulez 20:31, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

People are welcome to put other names below to vote on. Mine was just the one I fell in love with, but the most popular name is what we'll go with.--<<>> 20:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

"Yanker" would be better. Crazyswordsman...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 00:36, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

*Three-Expression Conditional For Loop for (int i=0; strncmp(award.name, "Yank",4); i++) --L 16:42, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
*Four Conditional Fors I want to make it. 16:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Mandatory For --General Insineratehymn 06:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• For - Because I too am White And Nerdy. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 23:01, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, let's get this thing up and running already. -- Hindleyite Converse 21:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Mumble

Score: +3

• For I just came up with this just now. I would be fine if some derivitive of "Mumble" were used, such as "Mumbler", "Mumblation", or "Mumblee". --Sir Zombiebaron 23:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• 4. --L

*For, Mumble sounds better. I would still like to design it. 18:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

You know... if we have a design for one name, and no design for the other... that might sway the vote in your favor. ;)--<<>> 00:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• FOR BENSON likes this name better, and BENSON knows what he's talkin bout. Benson 19:59, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
• STRONGEST FOR per BENSON. Crazyswordsman...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 21:26, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

"The Wurlitzer Prize", awarded for excellence in the field of making us turn off our speakers

Another idea..."the Wurlitzer"

Score: +1

I'm preferential toward naming it the "Wurlitzer Prize". Dunno if you kids these days know what a Wurlitzer is, but back in the day my Granpappy dropped on the Kaiser. Or something. To be honest the old fart never made much sense.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 02:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Another Another Idea

This is my first forum post so please don't kill me...

Anyway, if we could have a negative award, perhaps something like Minitrue Unperson award instead of whatever it is we have for banned people.

Or maybe continue the 1984 theme with some bad award thingys, like for most articles deleted or suggesting awards like this. --KWild 11:12, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Or BENSON of the Month for the loudest most obnoxious noob each month, with me getting the first one for all of my hard work in this field. Benson 15:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

It would be nice if the award had some meaning. Why not some awards that can be given to ppl who clean up your article ? Something like the Thank you for being my personal grammar nazi or something. --Vosnul 10:35, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Another Another Another Idea that resurrects this thread

What about The Emmanuel Goldstein Award for Lies for those that post too many facts in their articles? --KWild 12:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

We already have an Emmanuel Goldstein Award, but the idea isn't a bad one.--<<>> 13:17, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I noticed well maybe we should just change it to some other figure, do we have an award that features Leon Trotsky?

I was thinking about other awards say the Slashy Award for Drama for the most dramatic user? --KWild 05:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Another idea that points people back up to the top of the page, to the original award idea that started the forum topic, originally

It's like everyone has ADD around here. Hey! My toes are awesome...wiggle, wiggle. Toes are the best!--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 13:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I've got an idea

Why don't we make better use of the awards we already have. --Sir gwax (talk) 17:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Being constructive

Well, what about a "Critics Award" for active users in Pee Review? You know, there are too many people wanting feedback there and very few people disposed to give it. herr doktor needsAcell  [scream!] 17:54, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

That sounds like a good idea. --KWild 05:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I second/third that. -- Hindleyite Converse 16:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, like it (see right) -- sannse<staff/> (talk) 10:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

The fact that it's called the "BJ award" is slightly worrying though... --Sir Jam 11:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

A pun! Delightful. -- Mitch 12:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Opps! I didn't notice it could be read that way! <insert patented wide-eyed innocent look>. Anyway, I blame Tom. No reason, I just like blaming Tom -- sannse<staff/> (talk) 13:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Anything called "The BJ Award" wins my inherent approval. -- Sir Codeine K·H·P·B·M·N·C·U·Bu. · (Harangue) 13:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Anything called the BJ award wins me as a judge <rubs hands in perverted glee> --Sir Jam 14:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

It's not just a pun; it's a double entendre! A BJ award "THAT SUCKS!" -- Mitch 16:01, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

And as needAbrain said, "You know, there are too many people wanting feedback there and very few people disposed to give it." -- Mitch 16:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Even needAbrain's signature has the words "spit it!". Damn! OK I'll shut up now. -- Mitch 16:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

<sticking finger in nostrill>Durrhh... I've taken five minutes to understand what that B.J. stands for. All right, It's an honour to me, who have last written about a porn star, being the mind before (and not in front of) of a BJ award. Spit it, but with tenderness, so said my granny (she liked to munch tobacco). herr doktor needsAcell  [scream!] 18:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
