The public thanking of people who do you a "solid"...

I'd also like to thank Werbal. In the same way as you JP, I cheekily said I'd take his copy of DREAMSCAPE after he said it sucked, and I not only received that but also two books, pictures of Floridian fauna and flora giving me a semi-virtual tour, candy, a map pointer and Henry Rollins' autograph! Stellar.

Thanks, Werbs!

I'll go ahead and thank Wolfwood again for the killer Watchmen trade and "Punk Goes Pop" cd he sent my way for last year's gift exchange.

You're tops, Wolf.

I'd like to thank the Chudstories guys for making me feel very welcome into their community. And I want to thank FrankCobretti for winning his arguments like a gentleman. I vow to do the same with him some day.

That reminds me...I never did receive my gift from my holiday gift exchange buddy.

Sorry...back to positive stories.

I'm going to post a positive, since that was the title of the thread.

Thanks to Carl C. and Mecha for all of the SW inside scoop the past year. It's been fun. Hopefully the movie will live up to the thread.

Thanks Nick for starting this ball of wax called CHUD.com. Thanks to the kewl crew that keeps it going too.

I'd like to thank Nick for sending me out the two CD's of musical goodness. And Jason for being a friend who mostly comes out at night. Mostly.

If you guys start sending me shit, I'll be sure to thank you in this very thread.

I'll poop in a box right away, sir.

Thanks to Daryl Zero for the awesome Map of Middle Earth that now adorns the walls of my new apartment.

Thanks to everyone who replied to olivemarie's thread. A weekend of brooding over a bad breakup was averted because I was laughing too hard every 30 seconds.

Thanks to Nick for this lovely site which we all frequent. Also for the word "cockpunch".

Thanks to Nanoblech for Shenmue II. And for being cool in general.

Thanks to whoever found that Random Vin Diesel fact generator.

In general, thanks to everyone here for making this place worth coming to every day.

I want to thank Nick for letting me hang out here and feel part of a kickass online comunity.

Seeing this thread makes we wonder was there ever or is it worth setting up some kind of "Swap Shop" type thread? Where people could do a trade of dvds/books or games?

Thanks to Jonathan Parker for that Gmail account. Thanks to Suttytx, Helix and others for making me laugh all the time. Thanks to Devin for finally posting some news from me, even though he spelled my name wrong.


And thanks for people who use proper punctuation and grammar, and who are not bat-shit crazy, infecting the rest of the messageboard with their insanity.

Thanks to Kronos for the awesome Fossil watch he bought me in the CHUD Gift Exchange a few years ago. I still get compliments on it whenever I wear it.

Thanks to Jacob Singer for being a great e-friend. You bring intelligent, funny, and and insightful commentary to these boards. But also when I inevitably get caught up in a flame fest with the mini-Ds, you bring rational arguments to the table without taking sides.

Thanks to the Chewers who hang out in the TV Forum. As I haven't been able to see many movies in the theater this year, so TV has been my entertainment of choice. The people who hang out there are generally respectful and love to discuss shows with Chewers regardless of their opinions. A special shout out to slager, Gigalo Joe, gravedigger, sweaterbydarwin, and whomever else I'm forgetting in the Carnivale Season 2 thread, thanks for sharing your theories about Ben, Management, Brother Justin and the impending Armeggeddon...it was fun.

And last but not least, thanks to Nick for creating and sharing his playground with us. But also a big thanks for letting me chill with you and the boys at ComicCon as well as for paying for my cab to make sure I got back to my friend's house okay. You are a gentleman among men who pride themselves on being assholes.

I've got to thank Matt Goldberg for the excellent Gift Exchange present..."Gattaca"

I'll be worshipping it for years to come.

OH NO! People being nice to one another on the boards! There goes all our much-fought-for street cred and cool above-it-all posturing.

I'd have to write seventeen paragraphs to thank all the great folks I've met at CHUD these last five years. I hope to stick around for the next five.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go drink a shot of bourbon from one of my fine New York City shot glasses, courtesy of Diva and the CHUD Christmas gift exchange...

I'd like to thank Katanga and Logan for their hosting of the great LOTR: Geekfest. It's been a while but it was a once in a life time experience. (Actually I hope to repeat it soon or at least before I have grandkids.)

The swap idea has been done with varying degrees of success.

The gift exchange threads were the bestest.

And since most of us are (justifiably) Kissing Nick's Patooty (not the sequel to Kissing Jessica Stein I hope). A big shot out to the man who made it all possible.

Thanks to:

- Carl90210 for the Mean Guns DVD. I shall never forget.

- The ATL Chewers for...well, everything.

- The various industry people here (Hellboy, Beaks, Nick, Moriarty, etc.) for the schooling.

- Matchstick and Misfit for a new appreciation for bad one-liners.

- Everyone who gave me some love regarding my DVD reviews and Nick, for giving me the opportunity to write them.

- Everyone here who bought both my albums, which leads me to....

- DaveB for the musical bonding, feedback, and being a stalwart of the musical forum.

- TheOutlawTorn for all of the support regarding PKG.

- Devin for being an updating machine, thus providing lots of content to help pass the time at work.

- HAM for solidarity in our love of Van Damme and other things.

- Kronos for a lot of hospitality when I was out in Sacramento.

- Jacob Singer for being who he is.

- The politics forum for being both wildly entertaining and blog-like in how informative it can be.

(I'll edit and add-on as more stuff comes to me)

Thanks for:

- FrankCobretti, for the sig line. Plus, being an all-around sensible guy.

- Jacob Singer and Werbal_Kint, for making me laugh with their constantly witty reportoire. I'd clone more of them if I could.

- To the CHUD news updates (Devin, Dave, Nick, etc.)...

- Slater and Russ Fischer. MCP is a great addition to CHUD.

- The Politics Board, which from time to time, is host to some heated-but-informative arguments.

Thanks to everyone who posts on these boards, you all make it my first stop on the web every day. There is no better place for information, entertainment & discussion. Even when some of the "crazies" are in full stream it's great fun.

Of course thanks to Nick for creating this wonderful place for us, may your movie production be as successful.

Thanks to Devin for always inciting discussion, you have a gift for that.

Thanks to all who report the news for us & the admins who keep the place tidy.

You're all stars in my book.

Not to pull just one person out into the spotlight, but I have to back up the thanks to Werbal for making me laugh quite often on these boards.

However, after one of his posts, someone put "ROFL" as a response. Being the Doubting Thomas that I am, I began wondering if this person actually had been rolling on the floor laughing at one of Werbal's jokes.

I mean, the guy is funny, but to actually throw your body down on the ground and begin rolling back and forth on the dirty floor while laughing?...come on, he's not THAT funny.

- Yeah I gotta throw out mad props to JS too. He's the coolest atheist I know and that my friends is some interesting company.

- Micah is bar none the smartest poster in Politics and while I don't agree with everything he posts it's all good.

- The Whitehead. I really want to meet the good Dr. one day and give him as much joy as he's given me.... in a hetero way of course.

What have these men done for me you ask? Posted. THat's all they need to do.

-Thanks to HAM for this thread and also for his outstanding AmityVille Horror set reports. I mentioned it before but I hope to see more reports from you.

-Devin for his outstanding DVD/TV series reviews.

-The Carnivale folder participants. That was a great run and here's hoping we get another season.

-Nick for keeping it all together and giving me the opportunity to bring Fetal Films back from the dead.

-George Merchan who is an extremely nice person and was very helpful in getting me started with CHUD's backend news portal.

-To all the Chewers who helped kick-start Fetal by adopting a movie and keeping me on my toes with updates and corrections. You guys have been fantastic.

-The three people who participate in the Fetal Film excitement factor polls. Keep on voting as even something like this helps to keep it all going.

-Carl Cunningham for his kindness.

-Dave Davis for being....Dave Davis. When you call me chica, I get all fuzzy and tingly.

-kittyinjammies for keeping it real and being a super nice person.

That is it for now and will add more I'm sure because there are just so many great people here at CHUD.

Thanks to Micah for being the first Chewer to engage me when I appeared on the Politics Board with a post count of 1. Our days-long argument/GoogleFight over the legality of the Iraq war is some of most fun I've had on the internet.

Thanks to our moderators, who help make CHUD's message board my #1 place for serious (and not so serious) discussion.

And thanks to you, you smart, funny, infuriating, delightful people. Thanks for making CHUD my internet home.

Thanks to Chud for the constant updates and for being the only movie site I go to every day for news. I don't know many people here so I have nobody else to thank

Oh, you're not that old. You'll last another six or seven years at least.

Hey, Cheers HAM!

Drive does suck, but the audio commentary is kind of fun.

Wait. You're saying you've already made SOME clones of us??

Thanks to Micah and Dan for being great people and great moderators. I appreciated them both helping me out with a sticky situation a couple of months back.

It's hard to put into words how special this place has become for me since I signed up. It's great to feel like I'm part of something special and that's the feeling I get every single time I'm in here. So thanks to Nick for getting it started, and thanks to everybody who works to keep that main page THE place to go for me when I'm on the computer. And thanks to the moderators and everybody on the message boards for the feeling of home this place oozes.

Thanks to Crow for Dynasty Warriors 4 and other little tidbits of info and for being an all around swell guy who probably likes movies and games even more than I do.

Thanks to Slater for recommending Jinn, among other things. It was a really cool book. I'm sure I'll read it again someday.

Thanks to Carl and Mecha for all their great Star Wars offerings and info, and all the other cool folks over in that thread. It might get ugly over there from time to time, but all the good stuff shines brightest.

And thanks to EVERYBODY again. My poor jumbled brain would love to keep me here all day typing away at all the nice things I'd like to say but I'd probably die from exhaustion... and that would be a horrible way to end this positivity.

I don't know about thanking outside of the CHUD admins, but I'm full of respect for Carl.

He's taken a ton of shit for his unswerving allegiance to Star Wars over the years. Whether you agree with him or not, you can't dispute his guts.
