VTinNorthAB Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hey! Is there a winners gallery for FotY? If there is, is there any way to sticky it to the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I believe that they are still voting. The polls seem to be still up I think. EDIT: Actually, they've closed the polls, so I'm guessing that they're processing the results or something. If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFOOLEY Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I look for them under Awards. Edit: if you clik on the # awarded, links to winners will show in a pop up window.

There is a thread on the Fossil of the month subforum that is pinned to the top of the menu. It is titled "Winners Gallery" - the previous winners of fossil of the year are in that gallery, along with the monthly winners. Here is a link to it... 3 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

There will also be plenty of poutine and donairs to go around so yep. But right now I’m gonna take off eh, I will talk at ya later...it’s late so I’m going to go to sleep ((Oh and by the way, my dad does talk with a “Fargo-ish” accent and yes it’s hilarious)) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It's good to hear that some things don't change from generation to generation (Just in case you're wondering, I live in Germany, but I'm Canajun thru and thru, eh?) 2 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Kane Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 There was an old joke about how to distinguish between a Canadian and a New Yorker. The Canadian would say, "what's your problem, eh?" and the New Yorker would say, "eh, what's your problem?" (I can faithfully say that I've never uttered "eh" or "aboot" in my life ). 3 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny, my hubby is American and will tell me I unconsciously say eh quite frequently. When I lived in the States I went out of my way NOT to say it. Now that I’m back in Canada it’s back haha My dad and his side of the family all have the Fargo-ish accent...Apparently, mine only comes out in certain words and yes ‘about’ is one of them. Other words are hose, house, mouse, tag, flag...etc and it’s apparently an exaggeration of the vowel sounds (especially ‘ou’). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I've lived in the States for 28 years now (!) and people still pick out the Canadian accent sometimes. Of course I live in Georgia so there's more contrast with the locals than there is with Arizonians for example. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So please drive yourself insane trying to choose one favorite vertebrate fossil and one favorite invertebrate/plant from amongst the selection of fantastic drool-worthy contenders.
