TLS Awards 2013: Discussion

[Cthulhu]

Well, you can still win that award, but only if you solve quantummechanics and the Schrödinger's Cat paradox,

 

[Flintlock]

We lost the "least likely to win an award" award? There goes my one and only hope.

You were so nailed on to win it that it would have been contradictory to actually give it to you.

Aaron, is the last word here meant to be a link?

"Best site contributor" means anyone listed as "Site contributor" or "Site director". "Best staff" means anyone listed as administrator, super moderator, or moderator. The list is here.

EDIT: Wow, the font went tiny when I pasted it.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Oh, shit. Yeah, it is. I'll fix it, hang on.

edit: fixed

[Fangu]

Aaron are you gonna do like last year and do a "nominations so far" entry in the nominations thread? Much easier to see who has already been nominated and stuff

Hottest female: Mage. It is known. And, Fangu.

[Telcontar]

What movie is that GIF from?

 

[Fangu]

The movie Road and I will make

WWHOOOHOHOHOHOHOHO


(I have no idea)

 

[Telcontar]

Found it. It's from a movie called, "Good Luck Chuck". Good gif!

 

[Carlie]

Well at least one productive thing came out of that movie.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

I'd be pretty impressed to find a lot of people more well traveled than me. I'm really psyched for this year.

How many countries have you visited?

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I've been to: Chile, Argetina (just stepped into it), Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, the Bahamas, the USA (Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, Oregon, Charleston, New York, and all of New England), Canada (obvs); England, Scotland, Wales; France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Greece; Iran, Afghanistan, Japan; Egypt, Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Swaziland. I don't count countries where I never left the airport (like Dubai).

I have no doubt that there are several members here, if not more, who can clear this bar.

 

[Cthulhu]

Definitely not me, . S&G is a world traveler kinda dude though, pretty sure he holds the record.

 

[Fangu]

I don't count countries where I never left the airport (like Dubai).

I agree to this, airports don't count. Same with areas that aren't publicly accessible.

Lessee I have Norway (duh), Sweden, Iceland, Denmark (all equally duh), UK, United States, Spain, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Italy, Netherlands, Croatia, Turkey, Greece, Malaysia. Not very many.

 

[Shademp]

Not very many.

......Right. *has never left Sweden*

 

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

I have been to the U.S.A., ...and that's it.

 

[Flintlock]

I've been to: Chile, Argetina (just stepped into it), Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, the Bahamas, the USA (Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, Oregon, Charleston, New York, and all of New England), Canada (obvs); England, Scotland, Wales; France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Greece; Iran, Afghanistan, Japan; Egypt, Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Swaziland. I don't count countries where I never left the airport (like Dubai).

I make that 29 (counting England, Scotland and Wales as one country). Despite what you said, I'd be surprised if more than a couple of others here can beat that. It sounds like a lot to me!

I've been to "just" 18 myself: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. I'd love to add a few countries from the remaining continents to that list.

 

[Kuroto]

I've been altogether in four countries: Finland, Sweden, Estonia and UK. Also I've been about 10m from the border of Russia. I'm very proud of that.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Countries: U.S., England, Wales, Scotland, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy

States: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California, Illinois, Hawaii

I think that's all, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm also not sure how many of these count as really having been visited, since some of them I've just driven through.

Illinois must feel weird. I have all these states that are connected to each other that I've visited, and then Illinois is all by itself.

I'll start the list of nominees after work, probably.
