The Best of the VIOL Forum

The only prize is bragging rights

Someone, somewhere, sometime talked about how we should have a best of VIOL!

Any takers...I have no idea how anyone would judge these, I just think it would be interesting to see opinions and perhaps get a good laugh.

For best trip report I vote for the one by "Obsessed Much". I think it was May or June of 2007.

laura posted some wonderful trip reports and pictures from her wedding trip. She has a great writing style that entertained many of us!

One of my favorite threads was when linne was asking about going to The Baths, and wasn't familiar with a noodle. Anthony posted a very interesting picture to illustrate. http://www.virgin-islands-on-line.com/f ... ght=noodle
Later linne posted a picture of herself on a noodle in her subsequent trip report.

So many posts, so little time!

Pia! You naughty girl! If I posted my "real" ass, I'd have the "lamest avatar" - LOL!!

Now I've gotta' think about this thread for awhile! I'm thinking I really like Bob & Anita's underwater pictures, but there are so many to choose from!

I guess I should give my own 2 cents. Knowing this is all subjective & could change with the next day's posts...

best on land photographer: VickiH - just something about the color composition and casual but great quality of the photos

best underwater photographer - I have to go with Bob & Anita with Liam's Aunt a close 2nd due to the abilty to recall whats what alone!

best photo! - Currently Budman's rumbled bed with sun

best trip report - Obsessedmuch

funniest poster - JT, hands down for me.

drunkest poster - um....I won't go here

best off-topic thread - Gender Breakdown

best drink inspired by the forum - Cat's Tie Me To The Bedpost....
1 shot each Midori, Absolut Citron, Malibu Rum and a splash of Sour Mix over ice with a slice of lime.

My fav photographers are Ken and Vicki

Agree on liamsaunt and Bob & Anita for the underwater pics.

Linnes trip reports gave me the most laughs and a really different perspective.
Many many others do a great job on TRs that are appreciated by all.
I know it takes a lot of time and effort to do a detailed report, but dont get intimidated by the long ones - even a few bullet points/observations and a few photos would make us happy and is "payback" to the generous folks here.

I've told Vicki before that she is my photography mentor. Not just for her beautiful photos but her approach as well. We have some exceptionally wonderful trip photos on this site, but her's get my vote.
