Member of the Year

I drive a blue car, have a last name that translated to "Beautiful Sun" in french, and am a big fan of pasta, I mean squash, a big fan of squash.

HUMBLE ME. Because:

I really like beer.

I is a college student

I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it.

I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.(would that help?)

I would put this award on my job application and in my life resume!!

and yes:

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it

 (here i would put some smiles but non of given shows my state of mind)

 Disqualified. ;)

There are many...many.. reasons why I should be "member of the year" but since my time is limited, I can only name a few...

1.  I have beautiful, curly brown hair that is soft to the touch and a treat for the eyes. 

2. I have boyish charm and a glowing personality.

3. I have a white Christmas tree in my living room even though I am a Jew.

4. My girlfriend is covered with Tattoos and is French

 5.  I am a big fan of  Old people and Baked goods. 

 6.  I am an exceptional dancer.

 7. I take amazing photos of myself. 

Thank you..

I think that I should be elected as the member of the year...

But, but i like beer. . . and and i never surrender a chess game. . .and and. . .

Einstein died, Newton died, Tesla died, and I am not feeling that good either. 

ako su svi za,i ja sam protiv!!!

RN9: did you read the post just before yours? DISQUALIFIED

Ian: you are VERY in the running now. Congratulations. 

Now its time for the Q/A portion of the contest!!!

 Host with perfect teeth:  If you become the "Chess.com Member or the Year" what would you do to help make the world a better place?

 Myself :  As the winner of such a prestige's pageant I would see to it that Stacy Bearden...who is a really awesome guy by the way...would never have to suffer the burden of eating squash ever again.  I would achieve this by simply devouring all the squash my self....and if there is time world peace. 

IanSteiner  3. I have a white Christmas tree in my living room even though I am a Jew.

 I throw all points that I would have gotten to IanSteiner. 

The winner must be me. Reasons why? Well I am the only member who is used to wearing a crown, so I would do the crown proud because of my experience in the the wearing of. Plus I love squash,I was going to say why, only four pounds of squash to be delivered. I will send one of my navy's ships, the bigger the better to collect the squash, as much as you want to send. I will then distribute it to my many subjects. I will post on the forum, photographs (taken by you I hope because you are a wonderful photographer), of all my subjects enjoying the squash. In fact I will declare a Louisiana Squash day, and everyone can have a day off work to enjoy themselves with their squash. We will invite you over to the opening ceremony, as the guest of honour (we would beg your humble pardon and ask if you would play some music for us, so we could dance and make merriment, because you are a wonderful musician). We could, if you so wish and because all the decision making will tire you, have a justing match for second and third place. The one who lives could be second. (OH,  then we would have a second but wouldnt have a third place?????? )   Could you do away with the third place? Or maybe we could go through your five listed people, that may produce a second and a third, runner up to me.......  That would save your poor head getting in a tizz.

Getting here?  well you can sail along in the ship with the squash shipment, or we will send one of our aircraft to fly you in much comfort, away from the squash.

As you know I have been an active member on this site for quite a while now, and I do participate in many of the forums, I do beg you to consider me for this great, great honour, although, I do not have the knowlege of our beloved game Chess, that dear Batgirl has, but at least I have nominated myself, (more than she has done). Much love to you in your quest to find the winner, but I know you will have to look no futher now that I have nominated me. Now all Chess.Com memebers if you will please,  Hip Hip Hurray, for Stacy Bearden.

WOW! Where should the committee begin! First of all, it's such a tight race now that the committee is all but deadlocked. HOWEVER: here are the rankings as of Dec. 1, 2007...

Frontrunner. Myershill: because his brother testified!  

2nd. Queenie: because of the amount of typing stamina in addition to good content.

3rd. King William: the recipe sounds great...if you're crazy. ;-)

4th. Ian: the tree thing is still getting me.

5th. Gillisloose: because I still can.

It should be noted that although the squash loving testimonies are noteworthy, we need to be creative here. What does being CHESS.COM MEMBER OF THE YEAR actually mean to YOU? Will you strive to foster a peaceful environment on chess.com and not post topics about cheating? (See "Thoughts from Cheater_1") Will you not bore us with posts like "An easy game" where we all add 1 word to a story? Will you not take chess too seriously? BE VERY CAREFUL HOW YOU ANSWER THAT LAST ONE AS IT MAY BE A TRICK!!!!!

At any rate, the pageant is going extremely well. I think what would help the voting by the committee is adding silly pictures of yourself wearing a crown to your posts. Yes, I'm serious. GET TO WORK, PEOPLE! After all, what wouldn't you do for a $0.50 certificate and all the imaginary squash you can eat? Don't answer that - hypothetical.

That is all.
