And the Thanksgiving Molly goes to…
The winners of the Molly award for November are:
Jafafahots
and
Crip Dyke.
And now you get to leave nominations for the last Molly of 2011 in the comments below. Think back to that distant month of December — you know, Christmas and all that — in the long-ago year of 2011, and type in your recommendations for the most interesting commenters of that era.

Congratulations, Jafafahots and CripDyke!
Nominating: Anri, for blazing intelligence, patience and tenacity, especially when dealing with persistent godbots.
Jafafa Hots:
January 1st, 2012 at 3:52 pm
What? How’d that happen?
I thought I’d stopped being as regular a participant?
Hmm. I should do less more often. That shall be my New Year’s Resolution. Do less.
(at this point that could be a challenge.)

Jafafa Hots:
You were nominated, man. About time you were Mollied.

Anri is a good bandwagon to hop onto.
(Hm. Nice zeugma. No physical impact intended.)

oh sweet, congratz Jafafahots and CripDyke! Much deserved. (and regularity’s overrated.)

Congrats to both Jafafahots and Crip Dyke!
I will get in early and focus my nomination on
consciousness razor
Sharp and aware, always worth reading. Past due.
Jafafa Hots:
January 1st, 2012 at 4:04 pm
“and regularity’s overrated.”
This is good news, as I’m irregular in just about every category.
Anyway thank you to the Academy, and congratulations CripDyke!

Congratulations to Crip Dyke and Jafafa Hots!
It beats constipation.
For December I nominate Irene Delse because she makes me think and laugh, often simultaneously.
Pierce R. Butler:

Congrats, JH & CD!
For December, I nominates Night Witch.

I agree with Sastra that consciousness razor, who lives up to the nym, has been making mollyworthy comments for months now.
And chrislawson is deserving in December, for this comment which stuck in my memory: “when you have a good study like this one, the only justifiable reason for rejecting its findings is …”.

I like “molly’s” and all, but the Order of Molly is for only the month, right? Earning an OM in one’s moniker is by crowd-sourcing and hard work. However, does anyone have an idea for a OM of the year? And what would it be called? I bring this up only because I not only learn from the current OMs, but there are quite a few older OMs who really make great commentary as well as sticking around for the long haul. Anyone? I like OMDs, Order of Molly-Damn! for the year.

Caine, thank you, but I guess my question was a tad bit rhetorical; I knew OM was for only 1 month of voted-on great commentary. It being New Year’s Day and all; i.e., the all being after the last of the 2 week’s worth of holiday wine, spirits and beer are now gone, I was just wondering if there would be an “OMD” of sorts. If not, meh, whatever. Just curious.
Caine, Fleur du Mal:
January 1st, 2012 at 5:47 pm
Jesus Christ, an OM is not for 1 month. It’s permanent.

We voted on Molly of the Year last January…

January 1st, 2012 at 6:20 pm
Chigau:
Yes, and that’s distinct from the regularly bestowed Mollies.
It was LL1, I should have known better than to try any sort of explanation, let alone a simple one.
Dr. Audley Z. Darkheart, liar and scoundrel:
January 1st, 2012 at 10:00 pm
chigau:
Yes. I totally second the nom for feralboy12 for December. He never fails to make me laugh (oftentimes causing coffee (or other hot beverage) to shoot out my nose onto my phone).
Caine:
You’ll have to pry my OM out of my cold, dead hands.
Jesus, now I kind of want to stick the OM back in my name just to fuck with LL1, but she’s so easily confused that there’s no sport in it.
Jafafafafa Hots and Crip Dyke! Congrats! *confetti!*

This time, I can’t think of any particular people, but reading the current OmNoms I think Anri merits mine, too.

Has anteprepro been nominated/received a Molly yet? I found his takedown of Plantinga’s modal ontological argument in the recent thread impressive (though as someone who knows no modal logic, have to take his word for it…).

Congrats Jafafa Hots and Crip Dyke! I’ll have to take a look back over December.

To paraphrase Lady Sybil Vimes,
a dragonan OM isn’t just for Hogswatch.Aquaria:

Congrats to Crip Dyke and Jafafa Hots.
I nominated Rey Fox.

Congratulations, both.

Jumping in to concur that consciousness razor is superb commenter and that they get my vote.

After the Molly thread gets bumped off the front page, it’s easy to forget about.
For convenience, we can try to keep an updated wiki link to the current Molly thread:
http://pharyngula.wikia.com/wiki/Order_of_the_Molly#current_voting_round
Any help updating it would be most welcome. :)

How ironic!
right after I get nominated I stop posting as regularly b/c I’m busy falling deeply, madly in love.
…and not just w/ y’all. Seriously, this falling in love with someone out of the country seems to take more time than falling in love with someone next door: I spend literally more than 4 hours a night on the phone these days…which cuts into the time I have for Pharyngula. But let me be clear: I neither regret it, not consider the situation permanent. I shall be back!
In the meantime, congrats to JafafaHots!!! This is the last of my free days before I have to finish lesson plans for next week and pick up my long distance lover for a last weekend of debauchery before the term begins. I promise to try to say something intelligent & worthwhile later in January.

I had to think about if for a bit, but I like MouthyB for December Molly.
