As 2015 draws to a close, it is our privilege to invite you to vote for your favorite moments of the year to be acknowledged later this month in the eighth annual Worthy Awards ceremony. The Condo Board has spent hours reviewing each private moment of our residents' lives, thanks to our secure and discrete video monitoring system.
We found that the Charterstone Jukebox was very helpful for clearing our brains of any intelligent thought, and establishing the proper mood for appreciating each of these moments. We hope you will listen as you cast your votes. The Jukebox is located in the column to the right on your computer browser, or you can launch Spotify here.
And now, for your consideration...

Perfect way to start the new year! Thanks for the stroll down memory lane, Wanders. That's quite a selection. It wasn't easy to choose.
ReplyDeleteWow! There were really that many story lines this year?! I guess so, but some days and some plots, it felt like just one lasted all year.
ReplyDeleteSuch an embarrassment of riches. It was hard to choose, but wonderful fun. A perfect way to end New Years Day. (Wanders, was this your way out of helping to take down the Christmas decorations?)
ReplyDelete"Outstanding Floating Head"! I laughed out loud. Thanks, Wanders, I needed that.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Reminds me, I have to get my tux dry cleaned.
ReplyDeleteI did not notice the first time around that Sean Hasting's head floated OUT OF A CUP OF JAVA! That is worth celebrating.
ReplyDeleteI agree with fauxprof - “an embarrassment of riches” ! Thanks for another wonderful year, Wanders! It always makes my day to read MW&M comments. Thanks everyone - and happy new year in the Worthiverse.
ReplyDeleteSo much bounty! We can't possibly make a wrong decision with all of these "worthy" contenders. Great job, Wanders and the Condo Board!
ReplyDeleteSaturday, Jan. 2: The word for the day is "saccharine." I could think of others, but this is the least uncomplimentary.
"Embarrassment of riches" indeed! With emphasis on "embarrassment," Ms. Moy!
ReplyDeleteSaturday: We knew all along that Olive is Mary's Mini Me, so no surprise here. What crackpot kid with a brain in her tummy and hallucinations of flower fairies wouldn't aspire to be just like the Queen of Insufferability?
Hoping that Seymour (Little Shop of Horrors) will grab Mary and eat her. Seymour probably would get a bad case of food poison.
ReplyDeleteOlive has to be saved before it's too late!
Competition in the Outstanding Costume Design category is especially fierce this year. Here's to even better-dressed adventures in 2016.
ReplyDeleteWanders, this year's Worthy contenders are the best ever -- especially the Floating Head and Panel of the Year categories.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the embarrassment of riches and laugh-out-loud memories. I forgot about Toby's pouting and wonderfully bad animal sculptures.
Let's hope we see more flower fairies, Mary heroics, and floating heads in 2016.
OMG... laughing out loud, and REALLY having a hard time making choices, especially Outstanding Set Decoration and Panel of the Year... so many exquisite options! Thank you, Wanders.
ReplyDelete:)
For Best Costume design, I would like to nominate the intriguing avant-garde black bodysuit worn by Hilton Berkes in the first panel. Having the sleeves originate at elbow-level may not be very practical but he certainly does cut a dashing figure!
ReplyDeleteFun fact: Ian has a blue version of his astroturf jacket ( Mary Worth 1908 ).
ReplyDeleteLove voting for the Worthies! Will Gordo get a special award this year, a la Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, Andy Rooney, et al, like they did for the Oscars? He certainly belongs in that esteemed group.
ReplyDeleteTough call on so many, but if Jeff With The Fish Coming Out Of His Head does not win, I may pout for days.
Just sayin'.
wonderfully insane-it took me hours to decide between three handed Mary or Mary and her doorknob
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that I could vote for the Worthies! I had a blast... and took it way too seriously, of course.
ReplyDeleteI also would have gone with Gordy for Guest Character had that been an option. All of the nominees are deserving, but I tended towards Toby and Ian material because that seemed to be the most consistently hilarious story this year.
Once again..it's so hard to choose. What a great year it's been at Charterstone. Here's to more platitudes in 2016
ReplyDeleteIan Cameron's floating head looks like Zardoz
ReplyDeleteI like to throw in a write-in nominee for word of the year.....SPLAK!!!
