Message-ID: <2764@ncsu.UUCP> Date: Thu, 10-Jan-85 16:30:53 EST Article-I.D.: ncsu.2764 Posted: Thu Jan 10 16:30:53 1985 Date-Received: Mon, 14-Jan-85 00:50:51 EST References: <4082@ucbvax.ARPA> Organization: N.C. State University, Raleigh Lines: 18 Xref: watmath net.misc:7259 net.jokes:10265 I am all in favor of USENET awards. I agree that the awards need a catchy name, and I would like to propose that they be named after my mythical friend William P. Baboquivari. William P was a hacker, strange person par excellens, and Arch-Druid of Chapel Hill. If he were still around, he would be single-handedly holding up net.nlang.celts. (biography available on request) Therefore I propose that the USENET awards be called The Willy Awards in the tradition of Oscars, Tonys, Emmys, etc. This has the added advantage that if the views of, say, Ken Arndt give me the willies, I can nominate him to receive a Willy too. -- _Doctor_ Jon Mauney, mcnc!ncsu!mauney \__Mu__/ North Carolina State University
