A recap of August's OMAAT community winners, including the most-read reader story, the most-loved comment, and the hottest take of the month.
So will Tim Dunn be getting a $100 Delta Air Lines giftcard?
And Tim (we know you're still reading) will you be on the bankrolled Riyadh inaugural flight?
Maybe Tim Dunn left when he realized his weird, incorrect, unhinged, deranged and insane takes on Delta would no longer only be controversial, but also awarded, and then he wouldn't be able to fuel off people's rage.
A monthly $100 Delta Gift Card should get him back in no-time! He can't stop 'Keep Climbing'...
Congrats to Sean M., Tim Dunn, and AVEnthu88! (Ahh, C-Tripper, you shoulda registered...) For August, I suspected Tim for hottest takes (naturally), but I coulda swore it'd be TravelinWilly for most 'Likes.' Now we know; it's the most # of 'Helpful' on an individual comment (not the monthly leaderboard). Fellas, might wanna update your terms (says: "Winners are chosen from the leaderboards...")
In the "you can't make this stuff up" category, someone named Ben LaMar Gay released a music album last year entitled Yowzers.
From KLOF magazine: Talking about the single, Gay says: “Yowzers” was a word and a sound that came to mind while observing the intersection of humor and horror in our present reality. On one side of a coin flip, “yowzers” is a deep sigh that quietly exits the body after facing the absurd. On the other side, it is a cry of amazement at how many secrets were left behind to help us endure and transcend the absurdity.”
I mean... yowzers!
Congrats to all of the winners! I especially enjoyed the Reader Stories - great job here everyone and keep it coming folks! Although he's staff and probably can't win anyway, a shout out to Jeremy on the funniest story.
Bah! What 'soul'? I said before I wasn't here for gift cards. And, the other sites that I frequent don't have such promotions, nor do they need to for me (or you... *wink*)
Note to self: make two dozen sock puppet accounts to upvote all my posts on future OMAAT articles
TD leaving because he got bullied is proof that public shaming works! We should do the same for our politicians too
