2009 PB Thread of the Year Award

**Prufrock** · 08-20-2009 08:55 AM

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.

**Theognome** · 08-20-2009 08:58 AM

Congratulations!

**Prufrock** · 08-20-2009 08:58 AM

For an impromptu speech, that was not too bad.

**Marrow Man** · 08-20-2009 09:00 AM

I hear the music playing....

**a mere housewife** · 08-20-2009 09:03 AM

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.

Yes, who knows what depths of greatness I could plumb.

**Unashamed 116** · 08-20-2009 09:47 AM

I demand a recount

Well maybe not, congratulations.

**LawrenceU** · 08-20-2009 09:57 AM

A more well deserved award has never been awarded to an award recipient.

**kvanlaan** · 08-20-2009 10:02 AM

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

I nearly spewed coffee all over my monitor because of this!

When I first read this, I thought you wrote "greaseness!"

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.

**nicnap** · 08-20-2009 10:36 AM

Congrats!

Kevin, it's such an honor to have my potential recognized.

Congrats! Let's hear it for Mrs. Zartman and her toothbrush!

Are the Indy TV reporters outside your building yet?

Quick! Look!

**Backwoods Presbyterian** · 08-20-2009 12:09 PM

Do I get an award for nominating the thread????

**Rich Koster** · 08-20-2009 12:21 PM

I can't believe it beat rat brains

**a mere housewife** · 08-20-2009 12:50 PM

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

**Laura** · 08-20-2009 04:26 PM

Great job, Heidi.That thread was most deserving of such an award.

I vote for TimV and Vic as Best Supporting Actors.

Be at ease!!!!!!!!!!

LOL.

Backwoods has already nominated me TWICE (once today) for posts of the year. When do I collect my reward?

The fix is in at the academy. This is the PB equivalent of "Rocky" beating out "Taxi Driver" or Marisa Tomei winning BSA for "My Cousin Vinnie."

**a mere housewife** · 08-20-2009 04:49 PM

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.

**Marrow Man** · 08-20-2009 04:53 PM

If Ruben ever says, "Yo, Heidi," then I'd be worried.

**calgal** · 08-20-2009 04:53 PM

**JoyFullMom** · 08-20-2009 05:10 PM

Rofl!!!!

**SolaScriptura** · 08-20-2009 05:15 PM

Congratulations on your hard earned award, Heidi!

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...

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.
