From the rules on the front page:

The Billy Madison winner must use an avatar chosen by the host for the duration of the next round (unless they have lost an avatar bet, in which case the Billy avatar must be used until the next round has concluded).

That said, it's your first time getting a Billy and my first time hosting and I was concentrating too much on not ****ing it up to think of something, so I'm happy to give you a pass!

WTAF!

Will think of a theme. Too early for Best of 24?

Not really.

The only issue with a best of '24 theme is that we've already had two variants of it (your last theme was Summer Bangas IIRC) which meant that a lot of the best stuff (IMO) has already been nommed. I won't have any problems finding something, but it sucks when your favourites have been done.

Still plenty of time left in the year for more bangers to be released but I wouldn't say no to best of 24

 

[Stokey]

I've done this theme before but not really in an inventive mood.

Theme is One Word Titles

No previous noms

Noms due Monday 10pm AEST
