Funniest Member

[Greg Bernhardt]

Who deserves to be "Funniest Member 2008"?

[lisab]

What about jimmysnyder?

[Kurdt]

I think jimmy usually declines because hes very modest.

[Evo]

jimmysnider requested not to be nominated.

[jimmysnyder]

I think jimmy usually declines because hes very modest.
I am quite modest. In fact I am probably the most modest person in the whole world,

[turbo-1]

I am quite modest. In fact I am probably the most modest person in the whole world,I can attest to his modesty. I am far more modest than jimmy, but he's probably second on the forum.

[jimmysnyder]

I can attest to his modesty. I am far more modest than jimmy, but he's probably second on the forum.
No, no. I'm more modest than you. Why isn't there a Modesty Guru award? I'd win that in a heartbeat, I'm that good.

[turbo-1]

No, no. I'm more modest than you. Why isn't there a Modesty Guru award. I'd win that in a heartbeat, I'm that good.I would defer to your inferior level of modesty, out of sheer modesty.

[Redbelly98]

Well you're both mod, that's for sure. But if I had to choose which one of you is modest, gee that's a really tough call.

[jimmysnyder]

Well you're both mod, that's for sure. But if I had to choose which one of you is modest, gee that's a really tough call.
:rofl: I like it when it takes a moment to get it.

[Proton Soup]

i will vote for whoever looks funnier

[Gokul43201]

I picked BobG - I think of him as the Energizer bunny of funny.

[Kurdt]

I picked MIH, because she needs a holiday to somewhere hot.

[turbo-1]

I picked MIH, because she needs a holiday to somewhere hot.MIH needs a holiday from hot. Hot follows her.

[Kurdt]

MIH needs a holiday from hot. Hot follows her.

I always get things like that mixed up. :frown:

[turbo-1]

Well you're both mod, that's for sure. But if I had to choose which one of you is modest, gee that's a really tough call.I'm no mod though I was a huge fan of Humble Pie. I couldn't afford their tailors, for sure.

[binzing]

Guess I was the only one to think Danger is the funniest, just didn't have the time to find the requisite 5 examples...Next year perhaps. So I voted for the only Pole I know.

[fuzzyfelt]

I find everyone nominated funny, when they intend to be, but mgb_phys has made me laugh the most this year.

[Evo]

OH NO!!! I forgot to add tiny_tim!!!

I am scum of the earth. :redface:

[Borek]

It happened that my favorite didn't make it to this time of the year. But let's not go into details :wink:

[G01]

A "Funniest Member" Haiku:

And so, here we are

Standing at the volcano

Who will fall in next?

:biggrin:



Thanks for the nomination!

[Math Is Hard]

I picked MIH, because she needs a holiday to somewhere hot.

Ooh, there's a prize???? Does this year's winner get a trip to Bora Bora??? :bugeye: :!!)

I better think of some jokes.

[Borek]

Does this year's winner get a trip to Bora Bora??? :bugeye: :!!)

Haven't you seen the pictures? Mountain in the center is a volcano. Old and cold, but volcano nonetheless.

[wolram]

MIH would be winning by a head if she were a giraffe, i hope you do win MIH it is an awesome responsibility trying to make this lot laugh.

[tiny-tim]

OH NO!!! I forgot to add tiny_tim!!!

hic! :redface:

:redface:

[Evo]

You have my vote tiny-tim!!!!

I guess Greg didn't add you since you're blowing out the numbers in HH.

[turbo-1]

MIH is pretty darned funny in chat (and quick, too), but Borek got my vote because his humor somehow manages to survive translation and come across well - no mean feat.

[Kurdt]

You have my vote tiny-tim!!!!

I guess Greg didn't add you since you're blowing out the numbers in HH.

It seems a max of 3 categories for a user is the rule.

[Evo]

It seems a max of 3 categories for a user is the rule.Yes, it appears that way.

[tiny-tim]

It seems a max of 3 categories for a user is the rule.

oh i see …

but "funniest member" is the only one i actually applied for :redface: …

the physics guru nomination was especially a surprise :confused: …

i think most physics sa's have noticed that i only really help out on the maths aspects of physics homework! :rolleyes: …

anything more, and i tend to ask questions rather than give answers …
What is rolling resistance?
hmm :confused: … mmm :rolleyes: … what would you like it to be? :smile:

[Borek]

Borek got my vote because his humor somehow manages to survive translation and come across well - no mean feat.

Could be sometimes I am funny involuntary...

[Astronuc]

[wildman]

Another year without MathWonk.... You guys just don't know good humor.

[Ivan Seeking]

Ooh, there's a prize???? Does this year's winner get a trip to Bora Bora??? :bugeye: :!!)

Close - A free one-way trip to the philosophy forum.

Dadburnit! I've been hornswaggled!

[tiny-tim]

for the record,
my name was added to the poll at the end of the fifth day,
after about 42 members had already voted.
when do the polls end? :confused:

[Kurdt]

They end on the tenth tiny-tim. Congrats on going green again MIH! :smile:

[Borek]

Congrats on going green again MIH! :smile:

No wonder she is winning funniest member vote :rofl:

[Kurdt]

Yes I did notice hat but I guessed it was because she hadn't been assigned a forum yet.

[Borek]

I thought she was assigned forum FIRST :rofl:

[Redbelly98]

Maybe the forum assignment is waiting until Jan. 1st, so MIH is still legal & eligible for 2008 Member Awards?

I think to be to fair to the little guy, we should give him an average of the vote up to the time he was entered.

[Evo]

Maybe with MIH going green, we can restart the voting for funniest mentor?

Or will Greg hate me?

[Math Is Hard]

I told you guys I'd escape the volcano. :tongue2:

I think it would be great if we could restart the voting with me off the list, but I don't know how much of a pain in the patoot that would be.

[Math Is Hard]

They end on the tenth tiny-tim. Congrats on going green again MIH! :smile:

Thanks, Kurdt. I seem to have lost my Best Kurdt title in the process. :frown:

[Greg Bernhardt]

The award will go to the second place member.

[Kurdt]

Aww poor MIH.

[Lisa!]

The award will go to the second place member.

Good trick for saving MIH!:approve:

[Andre]

Well at least MiH will not disappear in that volcano. Whew

[Kurdt]

Shes been sacrificed to the philosophy gods instead.

[tiny-tim]

Dadburnit! I've been hornswaggled!

i think i just saw mih being lifted up in a chariot of fire! :bugeye:

has that volcano started sucking? :smile:

[Andre]

Shes been sacrificed to the philosophy gods instead.

I don't think that there is a god of philosophy, but there are gods of volcanoes.
