I nominate Carl Rogers for the Victor von Frankenstein "Wierd Science,"
award. Carl routinely pollutes r.a.d and m.t.r with spam advertisements
for his, "instution," or his, "pride-of-joy," which would be the website
named, "c*alrog," dot com, inspite of the routine spanking we give him
and his website.

Carl's defense of said website includes an holier than thou attitude
that he thinks that he knows the answer....if only somebody would listen
to him, thus making him, IMO, a worthy recipient of this award.

What is his borked pseudoscience theory?

"Viatology," which is to road geekdom what Scientology is to sanity.  Also
his theories on Web development, design, and user interfaces.

"viatology."  He thinks that since he made up the concept (in his own
mind and by calling people, "viatologists") that everyone should
automatically bow down to his altar at his website. Except that nobody
will listen to him except to mock him.

How about deciding that he can anything and everything whatever he
wants, and claiming it's an operational definition.

Here is his exact quote:

Be sure to note variations in spellings because he believes such things
to make him more cosmopolitan...or something.  This is ongoing.

Take care,
Rich

Hmm... In lieu of his aspirating, I wonder if he'll eventually figure
out what's wrong with himself.  ;)

You may be onto something.  Karl von Frankenrogers appears to have
created some sort of monster with his shameless plugs and operational
definitions.

I'm all for seeing krl rgrz winning many awards, but I'm not quite
sure his science is weird enough to be Weird Science.

The shamelessness with which he promotes his website updates (like a
grandiose 100-line post to plug the fact he added ONE LOUSY PICTURE of
some highway in Utah or Paraguay or wherever that he probably stole
from flickr) is k0okier than his science, anyhow.  And the fact that
he's banned half of the IP's of mtr regs from accessing his
site.....and his videos where he's driving through intersections
marked with stop signs without stopping.........and on and on.  The
hilarity never ends.

I think the Office of Village Idiot or even Kooki Information Minister
would be more appropriate than the VVF, but that's just my two
centavos worth.

I didn't think of the Village Idiot award when I made my nomination. I
was bouncing between the VVF award and the Tony Sidaway Drama Queen
Award, but upon reading the qualifications, he hasn't done a DQE
recently so I went with the VVF Award since I consider what he does to
definitely be wierd (at least by my definition). Since I've already done
a nomination for Carl, I'll defer nomination for the VI or KIM to
others.

I tried nominating Fruity Judy for an award a while back but it sank
like a bag of (proverbial) bananahammers.  Judy lacks either marquee
value, or a set of Usenet posters annoyed enough by his/her antics
over the years to the point that they go out of their way to subscribe
to auk and vote on the Monthly award ballots.

It is a competitive process, though, and all things considered, if
Judge Judy has to go up against someone like Bill Hughes, or Pam
Russell, or Charles Shannon Lysaght, or Ray Karczewski, or any of the
"Science Officers" of alt.astronomy, or a couple dozen other
high-profile net.kooks, Judy's probably not going to win, unless
he/she decides to cross post every last one of her "Criminal
Coddler"/"Left Lane Blocking"/"Speeders Must Get The Death Penalty"
rants to a.u.k, and then decide either to threaten a lawsuit or else
threaten to "expose someone's RL identity".

Generally, I believe that SFB keeps it spew confined to a set number of
newsgroups, whose members may not be aware of a.u.k and the awards.

Let's face it, Carl is a much better troll than Aunt Judy.

I'm with Archie here.  I don't see enough science, let alone /weird/
science in Carl Rogers yet to accept him for the VVFWS Award.  
Nomination respectfully refused.

Oh, that's kooky, alright!

Village Idiot looks to be too competitive this month.  However, Kooki
Information Minister is uncontested.  I'd gladly accept a morph of this
nomination and the 72 Raisins, which I'm going to reject out of hand,
into nominations for the KIM and the Looney Maroon.  Yes, I'm now
convinced of Calrog's worthiness for this award. Besides Warhol needs an
opponent, as I'm going to toss out Ken Pangborn's nomination, not
because he's unworthy, but because I'm disenfranchising his nominator
and seconder for being a couple of lame RLers with bad taste in friends
and for disgusting enough kookologists (if someone else cares to re-
nominate and re-second Kenny Kakes, I'll gladly accept /their/
nomination).  Of course, that means that  Calrog would have to run
against Alexa.  Good luck with that. :-)

I recall her nomination.  I may have even voted for them back in 2005 or
so.  She's such a drama queen!

Yep, that would get her noticed.  Crosspost her into AUK and see what
happens.  We (tinw) could use some new blood in kooks around here.

Weird Science?  See the 72 Raisins post as to why I couldn't second
your nomination...worthy as it may be.
