Dodgy 2007 - Nominations are in - revised poll

It would appear due to my using the vote casting system from the last US Elections, one of the nominations was lost from the poll :roll: :oops: - namely Fatty....

So while I apologise for the inconvenience, in the interest of a true and fair result your votes will need to be recast

Nomination 1

Sabre for his skillful application of brake fluid straight from his own clutch slave cylinder directly onto Wayne's bonnet, made all the funnier (and Dodgier) by his following up with Wayne's verbal realisation. \"Brake fluid is Hydro-whatever the ƒü¢k. Oh my God. Get it off, get it off!.\"

Sabre finally topped it all off in an ultimate Dodgy display, darting about like a headless chook, looking for a source of water, whist Jules calmly tipped his bottle of mineral water over the spill. A Golden moment for BSDD history.

Nomination 2

Fatty for accidentally ripping the door off his car on the garage frame one frosty evening, by forgetting that starting the car from outside - leaning in over the drivers door - with it parked in reverse and without the handbrake on will result in the car driving off without it's rider..... result - one white door and a bent fender :)

Nomination 3

Boags - for fearing he had completely lunched it by breaking a crank by setting the timing too high....................... no - that's right - he just forgot to put fuel in the car. Made all the more dodgy by the fact he employed large amounts of help to prepare to fix the (unbroken) crank.....

Nomination 4

Another one to Sabretooth - we in Brisbane all remember this one...... here's how to untension the crank bolt. Brace breaker bar against chassis rail....... turn key in ignition... whr whr crack psssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - oops there goes the gas from Jules' AC system.

Nomination 5

Yours truly - for reproving the theory that an uncompressible liquid introduced into a high compression environment - like an engine cylinder - will bend a conrod. And apparently for also reinstalling a motor and gearbox with my teeth :D

Nomination 6

A short but genuine nomination for Dodgy Steve for pretty much everything he's done.

Nomination 7

Stan the Man for the BBQed bushes makeover

Nomination 8

Mr Q nominated for hi understanding and forgiveness when the biggest bit of timber we could find in the backyard was smacked with a sledgehammer, resulting in the ingenious paintjob of the year.

Nomination 9

I have no details - only a photo. The guilty know who and how dodgy this is.

Nomination 10

Wayne, for getting himself up on a roof, losing his knob, losing his ball, being jacked up, unbolted, razzed and otherwise victimised, and still cooking the best damn wingz this side of Buffalo.

So there you have it - get your votes in.

Scores will be tallied by 16 September 2007, and the award announced in that next week.

AJ - have you lodged your vote in the poll above otherwise it can't be counted (GW Bush advocates this poll method most)..... :D

thankyou for your concern regarding the voting system & whether i did indeed lodge a valid vote Uncle Arthur, you can rest easy though, i did manage to work the high tech clicky thingy after reading the related FAQ's on poll voting* & applying it to this particular poll, i'm hoping that choosing to give my reasons via a typed post won't invalidate my vote, as this wasn't covered in said FAQ's*.

regards, AJ


*see section 5, subsection G, bylaw 6.1 :lol:

Jeez, i'd have thought my "short nose" pun would have at least rated a mention, i thought that was particularly clever of me :P :lol:

Alas, it was too subtle for me... And I was too pissing myself about the steam powered comment! :mrgreen:

You were only half right - otherwise you'd have picked up that there were still only 9 possibilities out of 10 nominations..... and you'd have picked which one fell off the system..... :P

(but we'll let you off the hook on meeting of particular criteria yet to be determined by the MICOD - Members of the Illustrious Council of Dodgy)

Well, my vote was for captain BananaRod. I'm telling you, silver spraypaint would have been far easier. :p

For those who couldn't figure out what was being drilled in the thumbnail for nomination 9, here's the full image. Blimey. :shock:

AJ, your puns certainly cranked the place up a notch.

Also, on that same day the gas escaped from Jules' AC system - I warned about the radiator thermoswitch being easy to crack off, and to watch out for it. What should happen but later when someone whacks the top of it off. I had a spare for the poor bloke.

I am so honoured to be in such esteemed company....... and then again.. maybe not.

\"Captain Bentrod\" and \"Spanner NoGas\" are going to be hard to seperate!
