Please tell me those small brown stains were already on the Mully.

Do cycle threads have some sort of handicap?

I think so. Not that it’s terribly important, but this sentence needs an update:

“…to the entity stimulating the most comment on this website…”

Because it’s not always the “most” commented discussion that gets the gong, which is fine, in fact it’s probably better and more fun to open it to a more judgmental approach.

Really, no other story stood a chance.

I agree entirely.

They have to. Otherwise some form of anti-cycling thread (let alone a summation of all the anti-cycling threads in each month!) would win every time…
It’s better this way!

It’s true, the mully judging panel prizes novelty, and takes a dim view of efforts to inflate the comment total to sway it.

The cycling threads are just the same tired material rehashed every time anyway.

“Cyclists can ride where they want”
“I’m a motorist out of my way”
“I saw a cyclist do something stupid”
“I saw a motorist do something stupid”
“I’m a pedestrian, a cyclist rode by without dinging their bell”
“Damn pedestrians on my cycle path”"
“Damn cyclists on my roads”

Indeed – though the though of those meaty-calved, spindly-armed, cranky roidy cyclists getting the Mully of all gongs would have been a beautiful and fearful asymmetry …

Excessive judicial discretion is where the ACT’s criminal justice system has gone wrong, so I predict the Mully Cup will soon be subject to the same derision.
