Nominations For The April 2016 BeerBorg BOTM Are Open

Post by The_Professor »

Im Feeling Much Better Now
This "spoiler" just gives you a quick update on me.
Although I am still on restricted lifting I started back to work and then before I had been back a week had an issue with my throat that took me out a few more days but only required antibiotics and pain meds. I'm hoping this doesn't continue all year. :(
INFO ON NOMINATIONS AND VOTING
Any member of BeerBorg.com is eligible to be nominated for the Brewer Of The Month.
A member may make one nomination. It is helpful to post why you are making the nomination.
A member may make any number of seconds.
Any member that receives a nomination and second from separate persons will be included in the poll.
A previous BOTM cannot be nominated again until at least one year after the month they were BOTM.
It is in bad taste to nominate or second yourself, but you are free to vote for yourself if you choose. (Don't blame anyone else if you lose by one vote. :) )
Rather than restrict nominations in some way the number of choices per poll are increased due to the number of nominees. There will be one vote up to 5 nominees, two votes with 6-10, and three votes should more than 10 members ever be nominated.
Let's go ahead and get this show back on the road even though it is a few days into the month already.

I'm sure Kealia's shoulders are getting sore from the weight he has been carrying around as BOTM.

So let's give him a break and have some nominations for this months Borg Brewer Of The Month!

Nominations will be open through April 7th.

I second the Hat
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Thanks Kealia. Much better and trying to get into the swing of things again. Need to ask my Dr. what is practical in regards to lifting when I talk to him next week.

I second inkleg for the reason Steve does as well as the fact that he's always been there for me when I needed help. I call, he answers and gives sound advice.
