Wot no WHC?

@Garry Nelson's Left Foot I reckon you did such a good job of last year's (despite the Blatter-esque result of the final) that you should have another go.

As last year's deserving champion, the shrimp should get a bye into the final. Obviously.

The Honey Badger needs another SILVER medal to add to his collection

This competition has been rescheduled to take place during the international break - WHCA directive.

Devalued. For electing a Shrimp as the Worlds Hardest Creature.

It may be a second place but, morally, the mighty Honeybadger was top of the pile last year.

Sure, it would have won if it had resorted to the underhanded tactics employed by the Shrimp supporters but it rose above.

Hard but fair = Honeybadger.

oh yes, I bowed out last year. Way too much effort and way too many moaning PM's to read about why I chose the wrong picture of a bear or something

i'll definitely be joining in though if someone else wants to run it

Morally, a word only ever uttered by LOSERS. You can have all the fancy skills you want during the tournament and BATTER the opposition in the qualifying rounds, but if you FAIL to perform in the final you're going to go home empty handed.

If you reduce a competition merely to who holds the trophy, and not how it's won, you devalue the whole process.

Only one finalist lived up to the integrity of the competition last year and...you know what, sod this, you broke me, the Mantis never should've bloody won and we all know it, it was a tremendously orchestrated conspiracy to take it away from the deserving (christ, I sound like Hybrid X/Mourinho/a Liverpool fan) and true winner. The Honey Badger.

Also: what the hell happened to the next "Brighton's best pub".

I need to make sure the BoT do NOT win it again after one disgraceful (lack of) chips incident earlier this season.

Big laughs. I used to get exactly the same, with the Very Important (Sports) Lady polls. "This isn't fair. You've deliberately chosen a picture of the 17 year old Brazilian twins from an airbrushed photo-shoot, but used an unflattering one in competition, of Ana Ivanovic." etc.

If this is a nominations thread, I would like to nominate the TARDIGRADE

It may be small and lack offensive capabilities - but it can be boiled, frozen, radiated and even survive in space. That makes it pretty hard in my books.

Is that not a PILLOW?

THIS BoT has been known to give out FREE chips during certain matches...
