| | | 2009 PB Thread of the Year Award
After intense deliberation among the moderators and administrators (by which, of course, I mean after 5 seconds of fairly-intense deliberation purely in my own mind), I have unilaterally decided to present the 2009 Puritan Board Thread of the Year Award to Mrs. Heidi Zartman, along with all the privileges and responsibilities thereto appertaining. Hopefully, she will be available for autographs. Congratulations -- this fine trophy (pictured below) will look great over your and Ruben's sink.

I don't have a speech prepared.
But I'd like to thank everyone who made it possible for me to grow up into the kind of woman who would try to retrieve soap with a toothbrush.

For an impromptu speech, that was not too bad.

I'm hanging the award on the bathroom mirror, to inspire me to further heights of greatness.

PS. I hope this is an inspiration to all of you. I was born in relative obscurity.

Please don't hang your award above the sink. I would cringe at the inevitable outcome...

You deserve this award . . .it was a great and funny story. However, the risk you now run, is never being taken seriously again.
This thread will forever remain in all our minds.

Perhaps I could donate the thumbnails of my award to the Rattuscerebusophilia Sufferers Foundation.

Great job, Heidi.That thread was most deserving of such an award.
I vote for TimV and Vic as Best Supporting Actors. Quote: |

Be at ease!!!!!!!!!! | and Quote: |

You're comparing Vic and TimV to Marisa Tomei? I'd be really wounded if I were them.
I've always thought I looked a little like Sylvester Stallone in profile.

| No, Vic is more like Whoopi Goldberg winning for "Ghost." TimV is more the Peter O'Toole of the PB -- always nominated but still no award...

TimV is more the Peter O'Toole of the PB -- always nominated but still no award... | Unfortunately my pop cultural education was limited to Rockys 1-9 or something and a movie where Clint Eastwood spits on a little dog. I had to look up Marisa Tomei -- it wasn't really a gratifying internet search so I'm going to pass on Peter O'Toole.
However, I found some pictures which show the resemblance between myself and Stallone -- startling even though they weren't taken in profile. Notice the similarity in the look of dumb suffering on our faces -- notice the blackening of our eyes where large men have pummeled us with their fists. Notice how we both love Adrian (the puppy's name is Adrian). Notice how we're both good friends with the pope. (Oh -- that's not actually the pope in the mauve vestment. & it's actually Bawb who is such good buddies with the pontiff -- I'm not sure what he's doing at our house.) Still we could be identical twins. Fortunately you can tell us apart by our sweatbands (mine is green).    
I'm wondering about a 'Daughter of Rocky' heptalogy.
