Darn right about that one, Nightingale!

If Sensei's nomination of Babaloonie for 'Rubber Turkey' is accepted,
Tholen would surely loose to a veritable, Christmas Day LANDSLIDE. It
would be a massacre.

I have no doubt that Babaloonie will have full support from all the
regulars, here in rmc, in aa and in cooa.  Successfully disrupting AUK
during the cherished Christmas season is a most impressive and
unselfish accomplishment!

For example ...
In http://groups.google.ca/group/alt.astronomy/msg/2af270d996630ae3
Kali replies to Deco's nomination of Babaloonie for GKF with ...

        " Can't plonk 'em fast enough, Mr. Deco. "

Quoting Sensei ...

Since Babaloonie did not win the Golden Killfile re-vote, "it" must be
worthy of a different award.  I think I've found it.  According to
Google Groups, Babaloonie, using ten different sockpuppets, made a
total of 107 (!) posts to alt.usenet.kooks during the 27 hours it takes

for Christmas to elapse across the contiguous United States.  Here are
the subtotals by sockpuppet:

Now, this may just be a normal day's output for Babaloonie, but it
continued unabated throughout Christmas.  Just as a reminder, here is
the description of the award:

Edmond Wollmann Memorial Rubber Turkey
Named in honour of the greatest of all Christmas Day kook-outs, this
award honours those who would rather spend public holidays frothing
continously on Usenet than risk contact with human beings in real life.

The shame of it all is unbearable, Bruce.
