A Tie, All Blacks vs France and Jordie kicking the winner vs Boks at Townsville.Well there you have it, a big congrats to all the winners (not @RoninWC, clearly proving quantity over quality wins every time.)
@Stargazer you can tell everyone you have something in common with Lisa Carrington and Samisoni Taukei'aho, you are all 2 time winners of a Fernie/Sportie....A big thanks to @Duluth for allowing this to happen again this year after a false start earlier in the year. Its been a tough year again for most of us here, the Fernies were an attempt to add some cheer and laughs, often at my expense.
Happy the 2nd time round made it to the end even though it didnt go as originally planned.
..kinda hoping to bring back the glory days of past Fernies....there was at least one of you that was a fan...
Anyway my small moment of power has come to an end, thanks again to @Duluth and the other Mods for humoring me and for their input...though i cant believe they actually made @MajorRage a mod.
Congrats again to the winners (not @RoninWC )
@MN5 maybe you need to double up on your double ups to have some chance of winning next year..Lets all hope 2022 will be a better year, a possible return to some sort normalcy.
@Barchen
A year of less pandemic shit, better times with work and family and where friendships can survive or maybe begin again..
No apologies for how weirdo this is going to turn out.
Merry fucking Xmas...
Can one of the mods be kind enough to pin this please, you can unpin the other threads..ta

I view it as a compliment that @Virgil holds this point of view.

More a self deprecating comment on who gets nominated as a mod and disbelief thereof ...

Ha! Gold!
And silver and bronze by the looks. Obviously an over achiever but no Michael Phelps.

A few relays and some talented team mates would solve that pretty fast

nice little distraction Virg well done
hey i won one!!
be churlish of me to not acknowledge those i beat, so, to whoever else was nominated
also, i say this every time. Now that we have this whole sub-category, we should have a thread for 2022 nominations. Post and thread of the year, as well as the gifs and memes (and hottie?) will be way better if we can nominate as we go

Good idea
The Fernies sub forum has been repurposed for something else.. so I've added a thread to the 'TSF Competitions' sub forum

Your answer is better than the real one. @Machpants It’s from Babe. “That’ll do, pig. That’ll do"

@mn5 dude, I was fucking Namibia against @Snowy's starting AB team!
If it's any consolation I think that I just won an award for not posting.
Not quite sure how to take that...
@Donsteppa Yes.
Have a good Christmas guys. I might be back a bit more next year but I do better in awards if I'm not here so will have to see.

The awards have been one hell of a roller coaster ride for me. Earlier in the year, during the first attempt at the Fernies, I was mentioned for the first time ever. I walked with a swagger, Mrs Crazy Horse couldn't keep her hands off me or prevent herself from sliding off a chair, the hair on my head grew back, sponsorship offers came flooding in, I was making a killing on the after dinner speech circuit, women in their 20s started throwing their underwear at me again...
As time passed and nothing happened the questions started. Mrs Crazy Horse was the first. At the start she believed me when I said 'soon babe, soon', but as time went on her doubts grew. Then the new Fernies came out. I wasn't mentioned. Her hands stopped wandering. And she wasn't the wasn't the only thing that dried up
The after dinner speech bookings stopped dead. There are no more sponsorship deals and young women are back to looking at me like I am a chanceless bald dirty old man.
Time is a good healer and I am starting to feel better. It's been good to see I am not alone in my disappointment.
