Yes, the First Annual Anaheim and OC Laguna Beach Hills Life of Children Marathon Fundraiser Campaign for Life and Hope, or FAAAOCLBHLOFMFCFLH for short, is a...um...magical event...sponsored by um...Disney and Safeway, er, Von's and um...I'm doing good things for my community of San Fran-er-Bernardino. I'd also like to give a great shout-out for all of the LP Staff Members whose tireless efforts of keeping this website up and running are um...acknowledged for tirelessly making an effort to um...keep this site going! Good job guys! I'd also like to thank LuLu for the thankless task for repeating the Golden Doobie winners and rules each year! You TOCK! I'd also like to thank Taylor Swift.

Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I'm not trying to be mean and I'm sorry for comming across that way if I do, but 'nothing to show for it'? What a bout LP friends? Thats the whole reason for being on LP. Having others who have a love for Disney. That is our common bond. Getting a Doobie is just something fun, not to be taken so seriously. Look at Susan Lucci. Look how long it took her to get an Emmy. LOL {{AGG}} It's all good! Hang in there.

Originally Posted By a goofy guy Thank you, Lady Starlight! After I posted that I told JazzCat, "I guess that's a sore subject for me." She agreed. I guess I figured to "be somebody" in LP one needed to be popular enough to win a Golden Doobie. I've been to several meets at and around DL and have NEVER recieved a Golden Doobie, whereas, several people who have NEVER been to DL or a major meet has recieved a Golden Doobie. Ok, I'm NOT popular! I'm not worthy of a Golden Doobie...FINE! I can host mini-meets (and I have), I can be a "gopher" (and I have), but I AM SOMEBODY, even without a Golden Doobie! People like winners, well, you're going to have to like me as a loser! Pass me over again, is it "fun" as Lady Starlight said, sure (for the winners-but not for me)! A sore subject with me? YES!!!!!! How would you feel to know that EVERYONE on the Smed Thread was nominated last year and EVERYONE from the Smed Thread won a Golden Doobie EXCEPT for ME! Please don't give me a Golden Doobie because of this post, It seems to be a bit manipulative and I don't want one that way! There, I've vented once again about the ONLY negative I see on LP, now let's have fun, go to meets and nominate people for Golden Doobies, I just may have the record for the longest time being an LP member WITHOUT a Golden Doobie! I'll be at the meet next month and I'll have fun with LPers and others! For those who will be there I look forward to it! C.J. (Not such "a goofy guy" in this subject)

Originally Posted By Mickeysbestfan I didn't realize you had to go to DL or be at a major meet to qualify. I thought the point of the Golden Doobies was fun. Most of the awards listed are funny and lighthearted. I really didn't know it was something some have taken so seriously.
Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS You just have to be on the boards...no DL or WDW experience necessary. If you get an award it's because something you said or did or discussed stuck in the memory of another LPer. Some of the nomination descriptions are a hoot, aren't they?? LOL
Originally Posted By LuLu >>EVERYONE from the Smed Thread won a Golden Doobie EXCEPT for ME<< Ya know, I never read or even SAW the "smed thread" so I would have no idea who was in it or what they said there... I don't think the awards are about popularity per se, and definitely not about attending meets, I think it's more about your presence/personality on the boards. People getting offended or ticked off about it really defeats the purpose, and makes it seem like a waste of my time.

Originally Posted By LuLu Thanks Mbf, I'm sure that's true. I do think this topic has outlived its necessity and I'll ask for it to be closed. But I really appreciate all the great nominations; everyone came thru in abundance!

Personally, I would love to see all begging for Golden Doobies, overt or subtle go away. And I would also like to see the topics which ask something along the lines of "which LPers would you like to meet?" go away, as every single time they have been started throughout the years, they lead to a barrage of hurt feelings and people pointing out that no one mentioned their name, or some particular person didn't include them in their list of who they like or want to meet or whatever. None of this is community building, to put it very mildly.
