<p>I miss that yellow laughing guy.</p>
<p>“The Lady Bird Johnson Beautification Coward”? Wow, I accept! Er, no, wait, it’s just a nomination… But I figure, I could plant lots and lots of flowers and such in appropriate places around the kitchen gardens for Confidentialia College, so it seems quite appropriate.</p>
<p>Thanks for the nomination, jmmom. 
And also Alumother, I think the derivation of my “Best Screen Name” can be found in some moldy thread here somewhere, when we were trying to pass the time in January asking each other about where our screen names came from…</p>
<p>I promised myself I would <em>NOT</em> pull a Sally Fields here, so… carry on.</p>
<p>Thanks, over30. This is like getting to watch reruns of your favorite show.</p>
<p>Marite–I can’t resist: One “Road Less Traveled” Coward each (student and parent divisions) to Aroundthecorner and BMoyilan for the “black sheep” posts. Or the Coward could be titled “One could do worse than be a swinger of birches…” </p>
<p>Also, the “Good Fences Make Good Neighbors” Coward to Alumother for bravery in the face of Byerly.</p>
<p>Hey y’all!!</p>
<p>I am a bit late to this thread (why should this thread be any different from the rest of my habitually-late life?? <em>lol</em>)</p>
<p>I am so incredibly honored to have received some lovely nominations from some wonderful people, and I humbly (and proudly) accept them! :)</p>
<p>MotherOfTwo~Thanks for the college acceptance category nomination. I still don’t think the writing did justice to that surreal moment, but it was the best I could muster at the time. Just today, I thought back on that moment, in all its detail, and I <em>still</em> can’t believe that it really happened for my son. I don’t think I’ll really believe it until we drop him off in Durham!</p>
<p>dig~Thanks for seconding a nomination for me…coming from YOU, it means a lot to me!!</p>
<p>cheers~I thank you for my exclamation coward!!! I simply could not live without my exclamation key, hence the emergency trip to Wal-Mart at midnight on a school night…<em>lol</em></p>
<p>momsdream~You are RIGHT…the Needless Worry Award should be MINE!!! But, I can share it with my sweet friend, alum! I would worry that if either of us got it without the other, there may be some resentment??? <em>lol</em></p>
<p>Thanks to all for the great nominations…now, I just need the “spilling your guts” award for airing a lot of raw emotions in a public forum! <em>lol</em></p>
<p>love, ~b.</p>
<p>Thank you over30, sac, cheers and marite for steering us newbies to the Moundbuilder/Oceanics/Pileans/Platers thread. ROFL.</p>
<p>Deserving of a Lifetime Achievement Coward for all contributers to the thread.</p>
<p>Coward Award for Venting at Length: soozievt for The Drama About The High School Drama Productions.</p>
<p>berurah - LOL spilling your guts. I am so honored to share the needless worry COWARD with you. Were you to have the award alone, I could not resent it. You are the master, I the humble student. </p>
<p>jmmom - good news on the decision front. No, no decision, but Stanford is May 2 and Princeton is willing to give us an extension if we email with details. Do you all know I might never have asked were it not for cc?</p>
<p>“The Road Not Taken” award to EvilRobot, who turned down Yale for Vanderbilt and thrived.</p>
<p>The “Provide, Provide” award to … too many kids to count… with hopes it doesn’t lead to “The Death of the Hired Man”</p>
<p>And, to Andi, for incredible poise and strength, the “After Apple-Picking” award: “My long two-pointed ladder’s sticking through a tree/ Toward heaven still/ And there’s a barrel that I didn’t fill.” You will, you will.</p>
<p>Omigod! The Moundbuilder/Oceanics/Pileans/Platers thread! You guys had so much fun before all this college stuff got in the way!</p>
<p>So ROFLOLSKINRLU</p>
<p>That means ROFLOL So Kids in the Next Room Look Up! “Mom, are you laughing?”</p>
<p>All these threads you guys put together make me want to chime in. Except they are perfect as is! Where is Sluggbugg?</p>
<p>They have to be compiling a book with this stuff. They have to, right?</p>
<p>The Moonbuildders post byThedad (Thedad) on Monday, August 18, 2003 - 12:11 pm (thanks, Xiggi)</p>
<p>You know, what with D writing all these essays, I’m tempted to write one, too, just to keep up with the Joneses. Something like:</p>
<p>URBAN MOUNDBUILDERS</p>
<p>One of the most mysterious civilizations is known as the Moundbuilders. The mounds in questions are structures of diverse materials, often clothing and other cloth materials–pajamas, towels, tops, shoes, jackets, khakis–but occasionally other materials such as books, notebooks, diaries, journals, calculators, loose papers, etc. These mounds arise seemingly overnight in bathrooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms across the North American continent.</p>
<p>While no one has ever caught a mound in the process of being constructed–they appear in startlingly brief periods of time–analysis of the building materials give some indication of the Moundbuilder culture. For instance, the varied types and degree of clothing indicate that Moundbuilders must often be found in close connection with “the mall” and other urban shopping venues.</p>
<p>Light on the Moundbuilder social order can be shed from analyzing writing on paper scraps associated with Moundbuilder debris which suggests that Moundbuilder society is organized around the Internet and cellphone. Linguistically, Moundbuilders are speculated to communicate with a degenerate form of Indo-European; enigmatic glyphs such as “OMG, POS! BRB!” may be excavated from time to time.</p>
<p>Analysis of debris shows that Moundbuilders enjoy a varied diet, running heavily to snack food such as ice cream or “chips” but with some specimens inclining to health food and exotic items such as Zen-zou drinks, moche balls.</p>
<p>But much about the people of this enigmatic culture remains a mystery. Where did they come from? Where are they going? Do they know where they are going? How come they clean up after themselves when transported to other locales? These and other questions will keep us busy for years.</p>
<p>Over 30 for wit, humour, and just nailing it on post #29:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?99/56719[/url]”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?99/56719</a></p>
<p>You know you’ve been on CC too long when… 29) You’re explaining something you learned here, and say you heard it from one of your friends.</p>
<p>I nominate cheers for either “excellence in convincing others to follow their dreams,” or “best achievement in a brisk & forthright tone.” You always know exactly where cheers stands on a question.</p>
<p>Hi kids! Just finished dinner and am ready to come out and play.</p>
<p>I nominate SBmom for Best Ideas for Threads. Guess that makes it the BIT award.</p>
<p>I second that nomination for cheers!</p>
<p>merci beaucoup sac :)</p>
<p>how about clever witticisms???</p>
<p>mindbenders?
mental calisthenics?
“anything to keep from doing the laundry?”
and the reality–
not facing that tomorrow is my s’s last day of classes-- his freshman year is already over!!! I just can’t accept that. Rather think about other things-- I shant think about that today… I’ll think about that tomorrow (thank heavens for Scarlett O’hara!)</p>
<p>haha, SBMom. Thank you for that. The Persuader… That’d be me. </p>
<p>I figure if I can do it, anyone can. In fact, that’s what the Hip Hop instructor shouted out last night. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>(That Beyonce Bounce is tough, lemme tell you. It would be a lot easier if I was 20 years old like the rest of the class! :eek: )</p>
<p>oops!!! My posts belong on the wordsmith posts-- sorry !!! :o
I’ve just wanted to be here on this post sooooo badly…</p>
