Congratulations, Dickie Scoville! Some kooks are pathetic harassers and
abusers, some are comical nutjobs and conspiracy theorists, and there area
rare few who combine both kinds of kookery in an entertaining balance.
Among this year's new intake of KotM winners, you're the finest example of
the "rare few".

Congratulations on winning this award by the most decisive margin ever seen,
sPamela! As Oscar Wilde so nearly said: To win a handful of kook awards may
be considered a misfortune, but to trounce 116 other candidates, who
comprise the cream of net.insanity over a period of twelve years, looks
like *total raving f'loonery*.

BWAWAWAWAWAWAWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, Sir Foamy the Mount-PocOnanist! How will you ever win the
war against the psestses when your only weapon is a grubby white flag,
hand-woven from pure goat-hair in your Mommy's basement?

Congratulations, Dickie! I hope somebody archives your scam-site with wget
(that well-known hackers' tool) soon, because at the rate your kooksuits
are progressing you won't be able to afford to keep it up much longer.


This concludes the results of the 2005 Kooks of the Year ballot. Fifty-three
ballot papers were received, fifty of which were counted.

This, my 28th official ballot, also concludes my tour of duty as Vote
Wrangler. If I've had any success in the rôle, it's as a result of the
outstandingly kooky net.kooks whom you, the voters and nominators, have
presented in unprecedented quantity for inclusion in my ballots. The high
standard of kookery during the past two years is best demonstrated by the
fact that none of the winners in this annual Vote of Votes had ever won
even a minor kook award before 2004. Turnout in the ballots has been
consistently high, and many of those who came to vote for a single net.loon
have stayed to marvel at all the others. To all you spinics, incest-cloned
borgs, government disinformation agents, socks of Kit Green, psests and
liards, swines and trolls, haters, anusers, purveyors of GANG CRAP, and
feminazi dyke whores: thank you.

Your new Vote Wrangler is Sean Monaghan, and the January 2006 ballot seems
to be filling up nicely. Have fun!

Ah, yes, Shorn, the thick irish ****.

And, before I forget, **** off, bowtie.
