Lock up #8 for gambit8888 and Michigan wish.org!

BluffMyNuts, Dids, and anarchist now each have at least two nominations. Let's go ahead and lock up spots for all of them early, given that they are all solid contributors to OOT, or are Dids.

Just kidding, Dids has contributed more to OOT than almost anyone. Choose your numbers and charities, guys!

Names in bold have already been pre-selected for wheel spots. You can nominate them again if you want, but they are already in. Invalid nominations have not been listed.

If you haven't already nominated some OOTers, please do so. Both to make the selection process easier on me, and more importantly, to recognize the OOTers that help make OOT great. Say thank you to the people that you enjoy reading by nominating them. Spend a couple of minutes to write up some shoutouts and spread some positivity! Let your favorite OOTers know you think they're doing a great job!

anyone is welcome to attend, and we'll be going out for dinner later that night.



gregorio - Great nomination post! That's how it's done!

27 - See my note to you in post #56.




The nominations window will close in about 27 hours from now. Get those nominations in!

As someone without paypal and too lazy to mail a check I'll just make my donation directly to the winning charity.

Edit: USA#2, because Canada#1 has an easy way to email people money.

I paypaled money to captain to cover my pledge for the spin, but I'll donate the $50 to my charity directly.

Paypaled my money to de captain as well.

Name: lonely_but_rich

Number: 31

Charity: Carnegie Institute of Science https://carnegiescience.edu/support/giving/make_a_gift

I had trouble finding a list of 501(c)(3) charities, I think that's on there.

Somebody second these nominations:

Kioshk: He looks like Jeff Daniels.
Metaname2: I don't even know if he posts here any more.

In honor of my Pops I'd like #13. Thanks for the nominations and selection, I'm going to look into charities that focus on Veterans suicide and select one of those. If anyone knows of one feel free to recommend it.

I second Kioshk.

I'm not too familiar with his breadth of work but he does have great, relevant one liners iirc.

I also second 27offsuit.

He often seems to be calmly angry which is good to keep OOT balanced imo. Also, he had me laughing constantly in the couchlord/clownshoe thread from last year.

I nominate:
27offsuit
daryn
Larry Legend
...for the Boston Strong connection

and
spacemanbryce
dr spaceman
...because these two are a tag team whether they like it or not.

And for my sixth, invalid, meaningless nom, I'm going SGT RJ. I would have put her in my top five if she wasn't already in; and she gets mentioned here because her nom should have been seconded.

Clare Quilty

Maybe he'll come out of hiding if there's a good cause behind it.

Name: d10
Number: 21
Charity: Paws for Life (http://www.pawsforlife.org/) because dogs.

I never thought this would be a problem but I feel like there are way too much cool (ex) OOTers for me to pick from. I made my noms but I think jmakin/Dids/ClareQ/Dr spaceman/bryce are really solid nominations even though over half of those rage quit OOT.

Second nominations for divides_by_zero cause she is a girl who uses the internets. Also it's her birthday! HBD DEEBZ! And mmbt0ne cause it's insane he hasn't been seconded already.

Also nominate Burdzthewurd because that's a guaranteed no win aka equity for my number


And garcia1001. Bonque!

And my last nomination to 3rd/4th/5th W0X0F for the most epic OOT thread of all time.

Thanks for the nomination!

Name: LFS

number: 33

Charity: The Midnight Mission

Clare Q
Garcia

Fo sho

nominations/seconds:

tylertwo - seems like an interesting guy

Villian1 - always entertaining save for the recent dying stuff.

gobbo - would love to go to dinner with gobbo

gregorio - cracks me up a lot

W0X0F - such an interesting guy, one of the reasons I wish I could attend.

falcon - always on point

fabian - real talk

lbr - cracks me up, gets OOT way better than me

Rei - always funny and turns me on to music I never would have listened to otherwise (listening to purity ring now)

Dids - still love me some Dids

anarchist - a local guy(or used to be?) I would meet up with at FW

Saklad - seems like a guy you can't not like

kiosh-k - many lols

Larry Legend - our first impression of each other was horrid, but would meet

mullen - seems like a solid dude

riverboatking - likewise

metaname2 - very entertaining

dkgo - cracks me up a lot

mmbt0ne


....you guys don't deserve Ms. OOT anymore

I would definitely second mmbtOne EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT HE HASN'T POSTED THE FINAL WINNAR OF MS. OOT 2014 WTF WTF WTF

Name: Anarchist
Number: 7
Organization: Nation Alliance on Mental Illness

I'll also donate $1/number, which I'll pm de captain about doing via paypal

Confirmed. I've cc'd pm confirmation & amounts to Chopstick. I've received a pledge for money being mailed to me as well from someone wishing to remain anonymous (I've cc'd confirmation of that to Chopstick as well so he knows the total I'll be bringing).

Done

I think that just means Kendrick wins by default tho, so you can go ahead and second him now

Okay, then, I'll second mmbtOne.

I seconded mmbt0ne in post #87

I think I've replied to all emails and confirmed w/ both the senders & Chopstick all money sent so far.

When 6 hits we'll be making a donation to the Ocean Conservancy. **** people save the ocean.
