You know there's essentially an AUK awards loophole now, right? No
"kooks" will see it, because it's buried in some threads filled with
flaming, trolling, and general assholery, but it's been laid out for all
to find if they look.
In fact, let's lay it out right here (and lose X-No-Archive just for
this one post) to make it easier to find. It'll add to the fun. Froup
lits expanded for additional lulz.
AUK Award-Immunity Checklits
Time requirement: Plan to invest approximately 2-5 hours each day for
1-3 weeks. YMMV. But after this you're set for life, or at least for a
good goddamn long time, so the time investment might be worth it to you.
1. Nymshift so hard that your new nym can't be associated with your old
nym, even under close scrutiny. New name, new email, new sig.
Seriously consider using a different newsreader. Maybe even a different
news provider. And for ****'s sake, don't use a news provider that
sticks your IP address or FQDN in the header. You can use Google
Groups, but go through a web proxy like JAP or Tor or something.
2. Put "X-No-Archive: YES" at the top of every post from now on, or at
least for the next couple weeks.
3. Flame Onideus Mad Hatter relentlessly 5-10 times a day for a solid
week, and xpost every bit of it to AUK and his home group of alt.2600.
Add alt.flame and alt.fan.art-bell, too, just for extra lulz. Be sure
to post edit now and then, which has the same effect as throwing
gasoline on a fire (only without the 3rd-degree burns). Don't stop or
slow down for ****. Don't feel bad; OMH kinda likes the attention, and
he'll ignore you when you get tiresome.
4. Nom a "kookologist" for one of their own kook awards. Busted Urinal
is an easy one to apply to almost anyone. Don't be afraid to use lies
and post editing to reinforce your case. This will go over about as
well as serving pork chops for dinner at a mosque, so brace yourself for
all manner of flaming. Ignore it or flame back, your choice.
5. If anyone calls you "BowTie" or "Bowturd" or "Steve Young" deny it
and call them nuts. Refuse to "prove" it (you can't anyway). Imply
that the person is Steve's long lost crazy cat-hoarding girlfriend, or
something.
6. Find a kook that's engaged in a trollfest with a "kookologist" and
give the kook a little fuel and inspiration to help them out. Google is
your friend (hint, hint). Do this at least three or four times over the
course of a week or two.
7. After a couple weeks at the most, you'll be tagged as a "BowTie
sock" -- and immune from almost all AWK awards, because BowTie is immune
and so are any of his sockpuppets. Including false sockpuppets like
you. Congrats. Plonk any AUK regs that annoy you, forget them, and get
on with life.
Special thanks to Steve "BowTie" Young for trolling AUK so hard as to
induce obsessions intense enough to make this possible. Give it up for
Steve, everybody! w00t (and the crowd goes wild)

least for the next couple weeks.
3. Flame Onideus Mad Hatter relentlessly 5-10 times a day for a solid
week, and xpost every bit of it to AUK and his home group of alt.2600.
Add alt.flame and alt.fan.art-bell, too, just for extra lulz. Be sure
to post edit now and then, which has the same effect as throwing
gasoline on a fire (only without the 3rd-degree burns). Don't stop or
slow down for ****. Don't feel bad; OMH kinda likes the attention, and
he'll ignore you when you get tiresome.
4. Nom a "kookologist" for one of their own kook awards. Busted Urinal
is an easy one to apply to almost anyone. Don't be afraid to use lies
and post editing to reinforce your case. This will go over about as
well as serving pork chops for dinner at a mosque, so brace yourself for
all manner of flaming. Ignore it or flame back, your choice.
5. If anyone calls you "BowTie" or "Bowturd" or "Steve Young" deny it
and call them nuts. Refuse to "prove" it (you can't anyway). Imply
that the person is Steve's long lost crazy cat-hoarding girlfriend, or
something.
6. Find a kook that's engaged in a trollfest with a "kookologist" and
give the kook a little fuel and inspiration to help them out. Google is
your friend (hint, hint). Do this at least three or four times over the
course of a week or two.
7. After a couple weeks at the most, you'll be tagged as a "BowTie
sock" -- and immune from almost all AWK awards, because BowTie is immune
and so are any of his sockpuppets. Including false sockpuppets like
you. Congrats. Plonk any AUK regs that annoy you, forget them, and get
on with life.
Special thanks to Steve "BowTie" Young for trolling AUK so hard as to
induce obsessions intense enough to make this possible. Give it up for
Steve, everybody! w00t (and the crowd goes wild)
