Who are the forums Nobel Laureates?

[stewart711]

I rely on you guy/gals for fast and accurate information. I am about to invest money and huge amounts of time into a project and I need rock solid information based on experience and knowledge. You guys are my heroes, putting ego and vanity aside you deliver concise information to help me through my project. I am proposing that we nominate a list of Wooden boat forum “Nobel Laureates“. These are the guys that consistently deliver answers to questions in fine detail and a professional manner.

The list as follows is only my proposal, please add as you see fit. Members may be deceased as credit should be given for their contributions in the past.

The list as follows is in no prioritized order. It is not even alphabetical.

Paladin (love the beer)
Breakaway
htom
donald brascom
larks
todd bradshaw
thorne (love the hat)
Ian McColgin (love the life preserver and captains hat with chin strap)
wizbang13 (provided he tones down on the sarcasm)
Mrleft8
Bob Smalser
Jay Greer

I must add that sometimes the best answer comes from the reply of an insecure newbee’s post that sparks a thought that leads to a perfect solution!

Let the fun begin.

[Meli]

Hope you're not building a Schooner

[Uncle Duke]

Hope you're not building a Schooner

C'mon - you know you miss him!

[Willin']

JCSOH - acknowledged expert on everything...bwaahhhaahhhaahhaaa

[Phillip Allen]

I think I'll just watch

[Mrleft8]

Hold on! How'd I make that list?!
Most of my answers to questions are complete B.S!..... Oh.... Wait..... That kinda raises them above the answers which are not B.S., but still wrong, doesn't it?..... Carry on!

Yeah, you and Ledger when you get the "anything you can do I can do better" challenges going on.

[Paul Pless]

Let the fun begin.

Donn - spelling
Emily - spelling

[StevenBauer]

Bruce Hooke should be on that list. Pretty high up on it, too.

[Meli]

Who? this is the ground floor. Think you need 2nd

[Mrleft8]

Jim can do just about everything better than I can....
There may be one or two things that I can lord over him.... But noting comes directly to mind.....

[Ethan]

The Committee may not like this....

[Jim Ledger]

Come on over and let me cook you dinner.

How you want your eggs?

[Meli]

You two need to get a room

[StevenBauer]

Time for a noob to search the archives?

A proposal from someone with only 100 postings? Sorry junior, you ain't got the bona fides yet. You haven't been around long enough to do much time in the trenches. And some of your choices are individuals who seldom engage in Bilge warfare. Kind of a muddled list. Why haven't you put more thought into this proposal before you tried to fly it?

I thought Nobel Laureates were for peace bro?

[Cuyahoga Chuck]

I thought Nobel Laureates were for peace bro?

Not the ones who were engaged in nuclear fission.

[Peerie Maa]

Not the ones who were engaged in nuclear fission.

Some of our more argumentative Bilge Rats do NOT need that sort of encouragement. Sheesh.

[Hwyl]

Quite a few self aggrandizers in that list

[htom]

:blush: Thank you, Stewart, but I don't feel I belong in that group. Not an hour ago I was thinking of Chuck (Paladin) and wondering what he would say in the conversation I was having.

[ChrisBen]

Seems like whenever someone asks a question, someone else will say this guy is Your Friend

[Mrleft8]

Not the ones who were engaged in nuclear fishin'.

All fishermen are liars anyway....

You'd figure that by now that both Phillip Allen and John Smith would have figured out how to use google, but no such luck. . .

Well, I found life a bit easier since I put em on ignore. Mirror images with the same stup... nevah mind.

[Cuyahoga Chuck]

Why not keep your paws off other peoples text. There is enough to do here without starting a tit-for-tat campaign to adulterate what others have said.

[George Jung]

I'd give that a 'bazinga', but.... not enough (any) humor in it.

You disappoint, Chuck.

[Phillip Allen]

I kain't believe you have given up the wisdom I impart here every day!

If you are the appointed enforcer of Bilge etiquette you have been slack in enforcement.

[George Jung]

Enforcer? Moi? Hehehe.... I think not!

Consider me one of the peanut crowd, vociferous in our appreciation of a great performance, 'let down' by the common prose.

I've seen better of ya.

[Paul Pless]

ouch

I think you underestimate your influence around here, Doc!
Without your input and therapeutic criticism of my posts from time to time, I would not be the damn near perfect Bilge Rat I am today!
Thank you very much!

[George Jung]

Ouch, indeed!

Yer no damned good! (and I tink that's gonna leave a mark)

[David G]

Well... damn something anyway <G>

After my admittedly flippant remark, I thought - 'Ol ' Glen deserves better. After all, look at the improvement we've effected in Ol' Glen over the past - how many years? 6? Man, time drags, don't it? - and although it's caused The Committee Undue Stress and Consternation (not to mention a nasty case of constipation - but I digress), seeing those baby steps progress to the Bilge Rat we see today has, well, I'm not ashamed to admit it - it's brought a tear to more than one of the old O & O passing judgement on each and every post. So Ol' Glen - congratulations. Yer Bilge-worthy!

[Phillip Allen]

Jeff C

thank you... I try my best

Whew! I'm humbled!
8 years I've been here...seems unlikely if not impossible.
I was Glenallen back in 2004, before I decided to use my actual name.
Cheers and best wishes!

[George Jung]

Whoa! That Glenallen character was a reprobate! I thought he got banned!

Sorry, Glen - gonna have to rescind your Award, while The Committee review this! Don't wait up - they're all in bed (did I mention they're O & O?). We'll get back to ya!

OH S#%T! I forgot Cuyahoga Chuck!

Don't ask me, I don't know.

Damn, not one female on the list...

[George Jung]

That's because it's 'a given' that all the wimmin are wise and Forum Nobels....

to re-nominate would be redundant!

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

Everyone has their favorites Spinner, for what it's worth you're on the top of MY list.

[Spin_Drift]

DMKIA, That's so sweet. Thank you for your kind words...

Just to let you know, I wasn't fishing. I was thinking of Margo, Meli, Skipper, Bernie, etc., etc..

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

I agree Spin, the wise ladies here get overlooked sometimes.
Not to mention, "I" wasn't on that list either.

That sort of language is uncalled for. Now go wash your mouth out with soap.
