Poll
Question:
Which Meme is Better?
Option 1: Haikus
votes: 114
Option 2: Tanned Tommy
votes: 105
Haikus
A prolific poster(currently know as Keefe) was known to respond to posts in Haikus attempting to be both cryptic and clever. Resulted in annoying half the board and mesmerizing the other half of the board. The haikus became a running meme, and were found to be called upon in especially tough times. A later variant had "secret" messages buried in them.
Tanned Tommy
Many nicknames were generated for Tom Crean after his departure for Bloomington, Indiana. One that stuck as a meme was Tanned Tommy, referencing his amazing ability to always be at a perfectly bronzed skin tone throughout the long, cold, sunless winter's of Milwaukee. One wonders if Tom inspired Dick Bacon, or the other way around

This final proves that Scoop is keefe's world and the rest of us are just posting in it.
Halfway through the first half and its a 33-33 tie, a true championship contest!
Holy crap, it's 44-44, this is a true championship game.
PS, I have no idea what to do if it ends in a tie, didn't even think about that. Good thing we have another 2.5 days to vote....calling all Scoopers, do you civic duty!

I voted for Haikus....I don't like racist rants about people's skin color, but others are fine as long as it isn't redskins. ;)

This year's tournament results will be reflected in next years....and we have at least 7 months of insanity ahead where all sorts of meme's can be born.
Need to figure out a way to capture meme's for the next tournament.
Clearly Lenny is using multiple IP addresses to play around with the results.

The mods need to create another board here for us to enshrine memes. Each should be vetted first through a poll here before making the meme pool.
The early favorite for next year is "true friend of the program." I'm laughing aloud as I type that out.

Good one, but DONE DEAL would be the overwhelming favorite going in, wouldn't even be a crap shoot. Actually, how did crap shoot not make this year's meme tournament?

Maybe Purdue messageboards could really turn this into a runaway for Tanned Tommy!
