These Best Things nominations that didn't make it in the contest were just too entertaining not to share.
When we asked for your nominations for Best Things Indianapolis more than three months ago, you gave us thousands of suggestions. Not all of them made sense, and some were too entertaining to not share.
We cut out the profane ones (and there were plenty), but here are 13 of the most ridiculous nominations.
1. The 34th Street Citgo was nominated in the "best food truck" category.
In theory, food and trucks both have been present at this gas station at one point or another in time.
2. "Roofing contractors" was nominated for "best suburb."
That's all it said. No specific company name, just "roofing contractors."
3. Doug, no last name, was nominated for "best human."
Dougs everywhere missed out on this one.
4. Many spelling versions of St. Elmo Steak House nominated for "best steakhouse."
Sure, they ended up winning in spite of the misspellings. Our favorite? St. Emo.
5. Butler "Pink" was nominated for "best mascot."
Last time we checked, Butler University's Butler Blue III wasn't pink. He is, however, adorable.
6. "My husband" was nominated for "best human."
We love your love an'all, but we need just a hair more context next time.
7. Domino's Pizza was nominated for "best local burger."
None of that. Just, ahhh, it's none of that.
8. St. Vincent Hospital was nominated for "best whiskey/scotch list."
9. Restaurants that don't serve Indian food nominated for "best local Indian restaurant."
These nominations include: A sushi restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, two Thai restaurants, a barbecue restaurant, a Mexican restaurant and an Italian restaurant.
10. An apartment complex nominated for "best fine dining restaurant."
There definitely aren't enough salad forks.
11. A bartender was nominated for "best food truck."
Now you've given us a great idea for traveling booze.
12. "None" was nominated for "best human."
13. "Turds" was nominated for "best restaurant."
Oh come ON. Every knows Turds is a close second to Pee-Pee Poo-Poo.
