Ahhh, no, not quite since the rules have yet to be officially noted by our Awards Committee. You need 5 blue star likes is the current proposal with a consideration of a combination of blue star likes and thumbs up/bacon. Sorry for the confusion.
Everybody has to agree to it and vote that way….or thats it! I’m out of here and moving to Canada…oh wait..I’m already here..so much for the Hollywood sop..

Instead of a trophy, maybe just a ribbon. Not some cheap thing from Hobby Lobby, a nice ribbon, but we don’t want this overwhelming the distinguished Harvey Award. Maybe call it the Field Award, (“You like me! You really like me!”) though I would somehow like to integrate the Yak into it somehow, (What a Yakomplishment!) or the Emu.
I was wondering if the “Likes” being discussed were the stars or the thumbs up. I can’t hand out stars, because I refuse to make yet another account out of rebellious attitude and just a little ignorant fear. I can hand out thumbs up like I’m the fricken Fonz. However, I do think that stars and bacon should be combined when applied to award counts.
Literally thousands of trillions of people view this site each second, and yet we only get one or two “bacons” from the usual folks. The “Cartoons and Memes” feature, which has a robust response, indicates how many people should be voting, but aren’t.
Oh, well. Voting’s not for everyone, as the Republican House just said. The Senate will shoot that down.
I’m just bitter about missed obscuries. I mean, I once quoted Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and if that’s not obscure, I’m not sure what is. Now I’m gonna get back to my drummer.
Obscuries are exceedingly tough calls. Like splitting the atom.
Can’t be too obscure. That’s too easy.
Have to be funny and in context. That’s fairly easy for this crowd.
Rejected if the staff already recognizes it . . .
. . . easily.
{The Supreme Court is currently ruling on how “easily” staff can recognize it. “Oh, wait, that sounds familiar, let me look it up” does qualify for an Obscury.}
But, on the cusp, even if they’re not familiar with it, staff has to be intrigued enough to look it up and appreciate its humor and relation to the topic.
This is a huge hurdle, because staff are lazy as Mrs. Beasley’s eyes (see?) and won’t Google unless they absolutely have to, the FBI being what it is.
Trust me, someone’s been taking notes for a while now.
Will it come with some sort of stipend? (I hate to ask, but, you know, the Biden economy…)
Do you think you could get FrankJ’s approval for a new award? He has always struck me as the rather Spartan type.
Can you get those 5 Likes down to about one?
Come on man, you can ballot harvest likes easy.
Sure man, just be less amusing.
Is that possible?
Gosh, only my discount therapist has ever asked what I think.
I vote it be called “Get 5 LIKES, or else”.
{Notice DamnCat reference. — Oppo}
Congrats! Our first winner of the New Category award!
Gosh, Shucks.

I’ll second the Pentaloons.
With 5 likes you get a DamnCat, and no give-backsies.
So, Ten got us BACON!!!
Five, is like … store brand turkey bacon?
Obviously the Dave Clark Award.
Or the Jackson Award.
Or the Major Penalty.
Whatever!
The Whatever might work…

“WHO? WHO doesn’t want to wear the ribbon?”
With a yak life cluster.
I predict likes plateauing at 4 …
So 4 likes (or maybe also 9) gets one a Get Smart “Missed It By That Much” award?
Or maybe just call the new award a “high five”?
All 3 are good suggestions
Just call it Participation Trophy.
Still not clear on whether the thumb-up “Bacon” button should get added to the star-logo “Like” counter above it or not.

Logic would seem to be on your side . . .
. . . but what’s to stop someone from giving both a “star” and a “thumb’s up”?
(I don’t indulge in stars for the same reasons you gave.)
I think it should be allowed. If a post is good enough for somebody to want to applaud it that much, it probably deserves the extra point.
This whole thing — let’s just hire Dominion and accept whatever they dictate.
Another oddity, while we’re on the subject:

Hmmm, send a link to the post and our Veterans Committee will give it a looksie.

Of course if you send us cookies all those hurdles fade away.
How about this?
I like it.
I started wondering about where that appendage of his is coming from. And why there are gears on it. In other words, perfect.
Alpha Centauri.
Or this?
Biden’s memory of his last neurological exam?
I have a couple more.
Some more suggestions:
The Lincoln, since he’s on the 5 spot
5 guise
5 stars review
5 below, since it’s 5 below the actual goal
THe Full Yelp.
