haha top shelf balloon-puncturing
yeah I don't disagree with this at all, but I'm not quite sure what it means--I'm kind of hoping some good poster can point me in the direction of examples of ^this

There needs to be a top shelf hypeman in there as well although that might be covered by Ned's top shelf largesse.
Sure there's a straight balloon-puncturer who precedes Some Dude but I'm struggling to think of who.

Jess was a Vahid X Some Dude cross avant la lettre.
Which in some ways made him the ultimate ILMer.

pretty sure it just means i have a tendency to burst other peoples' bubbles (i.e. being a wet blanket or spoilsport) but in a top shelf way i guess, which i think is fair to say but i'm not gonna provide my own highlight reel here
xpost -- wow yeah it's definitely an oversight that noone's 4 has included strongo hulkington so far

It's less about being a spoilsport and more about making people look ridiculous seemingly without trying.
It's a skill I've never cultivated so I can envy without feeling resentful or competitive.
There's at least one thing fairly loveable about most everyone listed in this thread.

I've been Johnny Fever since 2003 (after using my real name before that). Have thought about changing it a few times over the years, but I can't think of something I like more.

I don't think I can get behind any ballot that doesn't have aerosmith on it. I mean, everything else aside, Mr. Tyler has an amazing ability to just swoop into a thread out of nowhere, drop some pertinent science, and earn mad respect. I've always liked the way he is always thoughtful and able to give posters a figurative smack in the head when needed and manage to have it come across not at all condescending or troll-ish. Dude is quality, imho.
My personal top 4:NedaerosmithSick Mouthylex or some dude (I know those are probably surprise picks coming from me, but as infuriating as both are they drop knowledge on the regular)
But man, I keep thinking of others too: Tim F., Alex in NYX (when he isn't frothing at the mouth), Bimble (all-time HOF), n/a, Johnny Fever, A. Begrand (mad underrated poster!), Algerian Goalkeeper (earnest, but his heart is in the right place)

weird thing is there are posters here who must post all the time but of whom i'm only peripherally aware, whereas others I'll end up bumping into time and again. Probably either a music taste or geographical thing mind.

I thought about including Bimble a couple of times, but I thought it would make things too sad in here. Glad other ppl did though.

I guess if I have to name a few it would be MaresNest and acolethic (probably the only two people here who have ever said something nice about me), FastnBulbous (used to love his website before he stopped updating) and whoever started the Flynt Flo$$y thread
