How to Honor a Fellow Moon Nuker
In the comments to the Straight Line of the Day about Nancy Pelosi, Suicidal Idiot said:
BEST FILL IN THE QUOTES EVER! I nominate High Praise for everybody.
And I realized there’s a problem at IMAO.
Only Frank J. and his many assorted alternate personalities (or “co-bloggers” as we like to call ourselves) have the power to bestow High Praise! because, well, you guys just aren’t cool enough.
Still, it does seem unfair that Moon Nukers have no generally-agreed-upon phrase to pay tribute to their peers who perform well.
Because Suicidal Idiot was right, the Nancy Pelosi collection IS absolute weapons-grade funny.
So, I’m looking for some input from you guys.
What should Moon Nukers say to honor each other?
Possible suggestions:
______________
“Elevated Accolades!”
“High .45!”
“Peace Prize!” (since Obama got one for doing nothing, it is now officially less valuable than getting “High Praise!” from IMAO)
______________
Pick one of those or come up with your own in the comments, please.

“And I realized there’s a problem at IMAO.”
You just NOW realized that?

Good. Only 11 more steps to go!

I like “High .45!”
How about “You didn’t say that!”

High .45, with a bullet hole icon would be cool.

That’s a Major King Kong, right there!

Cold beer!

You deserve Bacon!

Tuna Worthy!

You deserve Bacon….and a cold beer! Couldn’t get any better than that.

“You deserve bacon” deserves bacon

In honor of the blog’s name, I’d suggest “that’s august” but people would prolly try to change it next month.

“You are so NOT Alan Colmes!”
August 7th, 2012 at 12:16 pm
“You tried your pun, and it worked!”
August 7th, 2012 at 1:48 pm
How about an ‘ol “NUKE YOU!”
August 7th, 2012 at 1:51 pm
We’re sending you some Nukie!

Lock & Load!

“participant”

“Nukes” for up and “Moons” for down.

Jimmy beat me to it, but I would have gone with “A slab of bacon for __________!” The only thing better than bacon is a slab of bacon.

Nukos!
(sort of a play on “kudos,” and apparently it also means “squid” in some Western Pacific languages)

I knew Crabby wanted bacon. I just KNEW it!!
Crabby deserves bacon!
Hell, we ALL deserve BACON!
Bacon all around.
You can never have too much bacon.
Did I mention we get bacon NOW?
Where’s my bacon?
I don’t see no bacon…

“I give that 57 states — I think one left to go!”

High .45 hits the spot, and maybe with a side of bacon if it’s extra good

In all fairness, we should consult with the President of the Brotherhood of Bacon Eating Bastids (BOBEB), Mr. MarcoMancuso who has been conspicuously absent of late.

I’ve been praising other commenters here for years by categories.
For IMAO Reader Theater and other video or art creators; Bravo (name)!*
For High Praise! recipients; Atta’boy (name)!
For comedic awesomeness; (name) For The Win!
For thinking outside the box cleverness; IWITOT! (I Wish I’d Thought Of That!)
For comments or persons of exceptionally patriotic inspiration; (name), Sa-lute!
But since these laudatory phrases could be used anywhere, and we’re looking for a specifically Moon Nuker honorific … “You Get Bacon!” works for me.
*the other day I gave Harvey a ‘Bravo, Harvey!’ for his cutting and insightful rebuttal to Jeff over at the post “The Best Question for Chik-fil-A Haters” (8/4/12).
It occurs to me that a unique new phrase of praise, especially awarded to those who do battle successfully with the occasion ‘misguided soul’ whose contributions leave a jarring note in our otherwise harmonious digital symphony is in order?
Troll Hunter?
Hippie Puncher?
The Baconator?
Truth to Power Ranger?
Just sayin’…

“High Nookie!” This may actually trump “High Praise!”, though.
