Nate Hartley and Steve should be banned forever....

Dave,  I am not suggesting that any GOMPs are staged.  I'm merely defending against statements made above, that imply that the GOMP I incurred may have been staged, or at the very least that I set out to be GOMPed.

I am aiming to acheive Super Caller status one day, and getting GOMPed is certainly not condusive to that goal.

And Sarah, first of all, Thank you!  And second, if I'm not mistaken, the other nominee for Rookie of the Year is Julie from Cincinatti.

That is a lot of ambition, son. Maybe take up a craft, keep the mind busy?

This is actually kind of awesome.  Steve, when negotiating the waters of the Friends Of Tom, may I suggest some reading material?

The week after my awards show call, Tom mentioned the possibility that I could emerge as a ROY candididate while talking to masterofsparks.  Perhaps I will let Big Steve and Julie continue to implode for a few more weeks and then begin the campaign.

All this jockeying for Rookie-of-the-year is some Lord of the Flies shit for the FOT. And I love it.

[yaysarcasm]

It'd be funnier if you just banned Steve and invited Nate Hartley back on the show. Let him become ROTY. He certainly wont become a movie star after the Drillbit Taylor reviews...

[JonFromMaplewood]

Earlier in the year, Tom said I was a nominee for "Breakout Caller of 2007 (sic)."

I have no idea if this the same category as ROY. It may not even be a category at all...just a way of getting me off the phone. 

Also, if it is the same category as ROY, I'm not so psyched, because I do not want to compete against Omar for anything. 

But as for Steve: Queensbury rules, junior.

P.S. Just kidding, Steve. And anyway, this is all pretty much the definition of a "tempest in a teapot."

[DannyBoy]

I'm behind Steve! He does come on strong and Eddie Haskell-y, but that might just be him. I had the same situation with my roommate in college...he came on strong at first and seemed fake, but that was honestly just him. I put Steve in the same category.

Do it, Steve from Hollywood.

[Josh]

Where's this Hollywood place you people keep talking about? Is it near Weird-o-wood?

Just south of Hollyweird.
I'm pro-Steve too. I enjoyed that last call.

[Spoony]

...if I'm not mistaken, the other nominee for Rookie of the Year is Julie from Cincinatti.

This is a rogues gallery of rookies. How exciting.

[Steve in North Hollywood]

Just saying thanks for the support, you guys!

 As for the rest of ya's ... Attack me all you want, but leave the kid alone, or I'm gonna have to polish up my chain. 

[wwwes]

I like Steve, too. As show moments go, that GOMP was a pretty good one and Steve made it happen. I hope Nate didn't take it too hard.

That said, there's definitely virtue in learning when to tone it down a bit and lay low. Two words as a precautionary tale: Jack Black.

Are you kidding?  When Kung Fu Panda tells the audience to turn off their cell phones at the movie theaters, he has me--and everyone else in the theater-- in stitches!  "I'm lookin' at you, with the texting!" hehehe

[Steve in North Hollywood]

Now I'm in trouble ... But I really don't remember referring to American Idol as just "Idol."  But I would've GOMP'd me too after that.
