  • Should the Chookpen Forum have immortals and who would you nominate???

    Absolutely!

    Rules -

    1. You don't qualify if you're permanently banned.

    2. You must have minimum 10k posts.

    3. You can nominate 3 Penners.

    3. You must be vaccinated for COVID........ Kidding.

    I'm currently considering my nominations as you can't rush these things.

    I'd imagine that there's a number of Pen legends out there that no longer post so my nominees are from when I joined this forum.

    1. Mickie Lane

    2. Rented Tracksuit

    3. Andrew Walker


    Special mention to mightyrooster who just missed out this time round.

        Luckily I know many on here in person away from the forum and I think very highly of them all. Many of us have seen each other through tough times and challenges, plus lots of Roosters premierships along the way.

        Cheers to old friends who show up in person when it's necessary..

          Bates shouldn't you be spearfishing or bungee jumping or pumping iron? Or doing your local charity work? Or standing on your head on the roof?

          None of the aforementioned deserve immortal status imo. Longevity maybe, but personality, humour, and overall post quality? None of them are even close to immortal status. You don't get to be an immortal just because you've hung around the longest. Or been the craziest. Or started the most threads. That might rule you out too Bates. In 8 years time when you'll become eligible for nomination. You might also be killed in a spearfishing or para-gliding accident in the interim also, of course we hope that doesn't happen, and you do end up earning your nomination. It's a way off though.

          To my mind there is only one clear candidate that warrants immediate elevation to immortal status. And seriously, how has this person not even been mentioned in the discussion so far?

          Of course that person is 13. Had plenty of disagreements with him. I definitely don't always agree with his opinions. Bates you just like to run a little mutual admiration society with your agreeable hug-buddies. And that too will go against you in 8 years time, should you come up for immortal nomination.

          But as at today, as far as this place goes, and in the time I've been on here which must be 20 odd years, the first immortal must be 13.

          Next in line: stsae
          Honourable mentions but short of immortal status: Billy Gunn, Tony the Wheel, Tries Off Kicks

              Considering you joined in 2021 what was your previous user name?

              Thirteen an immortal? Best you never read his sexist derogatory comments in the NRLW section.

                  Here's the thing. If we were ever to do the reverse, and recognise a member who would never, ever, ever, even be considered, lest nominated, for any sort of achievement award whatsoever... that would be you old mate. You'd win in a canter.

                  Go play some martingale to try and pay for your dinner.

                    The late Johnny Tobin should be the first for sure.

                          STSAE, loved him. Wish he was still here. The others are a bit before my time but Brain still pops in every now and then.
