    This is mainly a 'bump'.  People have been responding to older threads instead of this one.
    
    I have to say that Ron Montgomery's acceptance speech is...what's the word I want...
    
    Anybody got an idea of the perfect word?

    Does Ron happen to be a gorgeous actress behind that avatar? Halle, baby, you shouldn't recycle your speeches. So uncool.
    
    Shirley, I appreciate your worldliness as I too am bilingual (English AND American lol) and often add the extra "u" in to my words. I did it as a kid, too & was even scolded once or twice by teachers. My Canadian in-laws are proud that I at least have some degree of refinement.

       I'm so glad to read that I am not alone in refined bilingualism.
       
       Gee, I hope Halle, I mean Ron, doesn't get a dup content warning.  C'mon, anyone making that much money should get their publicist to have a new one written, especially for such a momentous event like HubNuggets.  I mean, people are going to want to read this years from now.

          Here's another bump! Speaking of refined bilingualism, I know all of the important words in French, German, Spanish, Italian and even some Mandarin. Of course, by important words, I mean the ones you shouldn't be using here!

    Patty, I just saw that!!  I was flabbergasted, I think it's my first one that's actually hit the 100 mark!  Wow.
    
    Another wow....we've had 106 votes so far, and we still have a day and a half or so to go.  That's fantastic!  I think it's a record breaker.
    
    We still have time for the Wannabes to drum up plenty more votes for their hubs.

    Hmmm, Cashmere.  I forgot to check just before I came here, but last time I looked I think that Pearldiver had the lead with his Bumble Town story and Wordscribe was very close behind with the Keep Portland Weird hub.
    
    Thx, Indigenous.  And yes, it is a big moment.
    
    Thanks, Zsuzs!  We try our best to present the great ones, which of course, makes voting difficult but we have to get our fun somehow.

    O that's great ... you've closed the voting.. Did you get the 15 Votes from the Bumble Town Mountain Runners Group?  They should have arrived by now, but it doesn't look like they have been registered if there were only 134.  Maybe there's a headwind... it is quite along way for a carrier pigeon to fly!
