I think he called again but this one is classic with Tom's fake laughs, also a pretty good GOMP

My votes

WORST CALLER - James
MOST PATHETIC CALLER - James
MOST DELUSIONAL CALLER - James
BEST GOMP - 4/1/07, 25:50 - I mentioned this earlier in the thread. First show back from the kidney stone, guy calls in to tell Tom he came back too early. Tom drops the sick voice and GOMPs him at full volume. The return of the king.
BEST GUEST - Paul F Tompkins
BEST BEST SHOW RECAPPER - Omar
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - Eddie
SADDEST CALLER - James again
BEST/MOST VIOLENT THREAT AGAINST TOM - 6/5/07 - The Gorch, in studio, threatens Tom with a chain which has a loaded handgun attached via spot-weld.

BEST BEST SHOW RECAPPER - Jason
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - Bonnie
BEST/MOST VIOLENT THREAT AGAINST TOM - 1/16/07:

Brock thinks Tom should look out because Ray Ray just told him what would happen next. Ray Ray is the guy in the ski mask. He said there's a DJ who’s being stalked by a creepy guy in a ski mask, and the creepy guy won't ever stop until he skins the DJ. Ray Ray is sort of there with Brock now. Brock sees him in the bathroom mirror. Tom tells Brock to put his hand up to his face. It doesn't feel like he's touching his face, but it looks like it in the mirrow. He sees one hand touching a ski mask, while the other hand holds the phone ... and a knife. Tom wonders why these guys find him. Brock explains it to the tune of "Let's Go" (including handclaps): the guys like the night life, baby, and she says, "You die."

I second this. This was one of the most surreal and creepy Wurster calls ever.

I remember Brock's call, but I thought it was 2006. Nice catch, Omar.

[Forrest]

I'd like to second Bonnie from Georgia for Rookie of the Year. I know that race is tight and seemingly locked, but that charm makes her my dark-horse candidate.

[Dorvid Barnas]

Best Guest - Ted Leo
Best Caller - Paul F. Tompkins
Best Threat - Hammerhead - 7/17/07  "This is my pit. This is my pit. I'm gonna stage dive on your face."

[Dorvid Barnas]

Most Pathetic Caller - The Redeeming Rainbow guy, Hesh, Captain Jack, Jason from Guys With Feelings
Worst Caller - Julie from Cincinnati, Henry Owings

[A.M. Thomas]

Bonnie is a very charming Southern Belle, but I have to go with Eddie for Rookie of the Year if only for the reaction that he gets out of Tom on every call.

[Matt]

If my name was Dick, then these would be Dick's Picks:

BEST CALLER - Laurie (The underdog - if there were a "Biggest Sport" award, she'd be a shoo-in. Erika, Paycheck, Dave and Eddie are all top shelf also.)
WORST CALLER - James (He really was responsible for 93% of the bad calls in 2007. Go through the archives - he's a lot more prevalent than you remember.)
MOST PATHETIC CALLER - (Tie) Spike, James and Hesh
MOST DELUSIONAL CALLER - James
BEST GOMP - Tom GOMPs Jesse Thorn
BEST GUEST - Seth Galifianakis ("Next caller!" I love PFT, but his brother and Seth had great back-and-forth.)
BEST BEST SHOW RECAPPER - I'm drawing a blank here. Kidding! It's gotta be Omar! (Pronounced "Omah"!)
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - Eddie (I like how he always sounds half-asleep; it's deadpan for the 23rd century. Bonnie's great as well, and I also like the guy with the hip-hop blog, whose name escapes me.)
SADDEST CALLER - Hesh ("I don't have any friends. I'm Hesh!")
BEST/MOST VIOLENT THREAT AGAINST TOM - "I'm gonna make you eat the Bible...and not in your mouth." Kip Palfner, 2/6/07

[Tim K in DC]

BEST CALLER - Laurie (I heart Laurie. Haters begone.)
WORST CALLER - where in the GOMP roster should I begin?
MOST PATHETIC CALLER - Philly. Dude's got some work to do as soon as he finishes watching Che-Guevera-esque-Promo-Art Rambo.
MOST DELUSIONAL CALLER - where in the GOMP roster should I begin?
BEST GOMP - Something that either PFT or PO witnessed and reacted to.
BEST GUEST - PFT
BEST BEST SHOW RECAPPER - Omar.
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - I got nothing.
SADDEST CALLER - The drunk woman vs the boring Christian band woman.
BEST/MOST VIOLENT THREAT AGAINST TOM - Something involving a very "unconventionally beautiful" dead fish. There should be a /WORST included in the category.

[Gagneaux]

Best Caller - LAURIE! (upbeat, funny, always has something to bring to a conversation...I don't know why she wasn't the very first Supercaller)

Rookie Of The Year - Eddie (that dude syncs with the Best Show's personality effortlessly)

Best Guest - Paul F Tompkins (I think that one is obvious enough)

Worst/Saddest/Lower-Than-The-Hate-Pit Caller - James (n'uff said)

MVF (Most Valuable FOT) - The dude that edits and compiles the podcast (Currently the podcast is the only way I'm able to hear the show. So, Hats off to you, Sir...whoever you are
