Was it just a proposal or was the computer MAN of the year once?
(PoliticallyCorrect speech sounds like a three-legged dog with tin cans tied to its tail.)
Of course there is, OCM. Here is a picture of the person who really should be Person Of The Year. Dashing, debonair, suave, handsome, intelligent - he has singlehandedly transformed the blogosphere into a thing of beauty with his intellect and insightful writing....
OINK duct-tapes his snout shut.
but people might see that as nepotism,, just cause the managing editor of Time is one of the many other Kelly’s… I’m sure no relation though....
OCM: You should fake spitting up a hairball.

well kinda in 1982… but they changed the heading to machine of the year.. so that’s up to debate I guess.. although they didn’t have a man of the year that year
In 1988 they named The Endangered Earth as Planet of the year.. 1988
the American Soldier has been man/men of the year twice.. 2003 and 1950 as american fighting man
Pope JP2 commented, upon receiving the award, that he was not sure he was honored to be in a group with Adolph Hitler. The award is for importance, not benefit.
Impotence? Is that OCM? Or is it Oink? Hard to tell them two apart.
(duct tape, my ass!)
I got yer hairball right here, ye farkin’ twinkies!
(did I mention how humble I am?)
Never mind.

yep.. Stalin and Lenin were also Man of the year… and they considered osama for man of the year for 2001… probaly a good thing for them that they decided against that and chose Rudy Instead…
"a GOOD THING?” Holy
Y’a think?
Whoops, I meant to leave the ”IGNOR-ANUS” quote of the day comment here, not in the “internet” topic.
D’Oh!!!
Just reading about Osama as Time Magazine’s Man of the Year in 2001, I found my fingers, on their own, tying slip-knots in the computer cables. (Unless the editors hoped he’d show up to accept the award...Naah!)
OINK you aint one of these are you? http://www.octanecreative.com/ducttape/

TIME’s offical song off the year:’WIPEOUT’(and Guns n Roses ‘Thunderstruck’)
TIME’s official musical group of the year:KATRINA AND THE WAVES.
*rim shot*
Yeah-I’m creative like the Skipper’s modest.Smiles sweetly*
I am but your humble host. Plain and unadorned in all ways. I live to serve the great minds who surf to this site.
Ah! That felt better. Twerp, you are due a spanking!
While Katrina, and by extension Mother Nature, got the most attention, panelists also suggested U2 lead singer and activist Bono, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the Iraqi people and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian-born leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, as possibilities. Norquist suggested a cover with Rice and recently deceased civil rights activist Rosa Parks.
Some of the other possible people of the year..maybe mother earth isn’t such a bad idea.....
although I think Rosa Parks would be a Great Choice...the nominees arent even supposed to be public till december 18th when the final decision is made,but they were leaked.
Maybe it will change to Rosa Parks.. but knowing Time and some of the past choices, maybe we should just hope that mother nature/Katrina makes it.....
Had they chosen Osama for 2001 I believe that the survivors who pulled themselves from the wreckage of their burning building and escaped the mob crowd would have skipped town, changed their names and learned the art of bagging groceries in anonymous small towns very far from the Big Apple. I suggest that they factored that into their decision. Not quite as dumb as they might often appear to be.
Oh, that’s a HOOT, OCM.
Nicely done. I’d probably pick that one over some others I’ve seen. Dont get swell headed, it’s still not sayin’ much.
