Skipping the "McC Spirit" award was a mistake in my book as it needs to be official. I'm sure Howie agrees with me as the other former winner of this award that we're proud to be relaying the crown to tk.
TK, we've all been pulling for you this season and it's a good time to heap loads and loads of praise on you.
Lets leave tk soaked in adulation and dripping in tributes. :-)

tk needs a fake account so that can be an option in the poll as well.

When the nomination process first started and everyone and their dog was nominating tk I wondered “Why the hell is everyone nominating tk?”
Then the light bulb came on and I was like “Oh yeah. Duh.”

When did the awards get renamed?
The McCoveys was a much better name than the McAwards, which sounds like the Employee-of-the-Month award at McDonalds or something.
by Salemicus on Nov 1, 2008 12:31 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
They’re still called the McCoveys. I was just lazy when I was titling Fanposts.

Seriously, it’s a lot of work to have to correct the McCovers typo over and over again. AcAwards is much less mistake-prone.

I make it a point to not speak publically about who I voted for. However, I do think the results are proving to be fairly one-sided. With that in mind, I’m inclined to let tk speak for herself about this award:

I’d also like to thank Mayor of 311 for very courteously donating his left shoulder to this good cause.

And tk probably thanks me for stopping at donating the left shoulder.

The right shoulder would have been a little much.

but thank you for your thoughts, Mr. Mayor, sir.

AAAAHHHHH
I was just kidding when I said I wanted a poll … but thank you! You people all rule.

Of course we rule.
But when you consider the realm , the ruling turns to LOLing.
Be well , o spirituous one.

It was a close call, but then I remembered that tk was nice to me the one time I met her. I sure wouldn’t be nice to me if I met me at some Internet gathering. So, tk gets the vote.

I owe some of the best times of my life to TK. True story.

Awww. I know what they are! :)
Likewise to you. That game May 26 for instance. I still have the ticket stub and I only use it as a bookmark for the very BEST baseball books.
