Is the Pink Ribbon Cursed? The Mysterious Disappearance of PF Members

  • Thread starter Math Is Hard

In summary, there is a rumor that members must sacrifice themselves to a volcano in order to receive the "funniest member" badge. However, the recipient has not actually done this. There is also a rumor that the color pink is a problem because it is not the most masculine color. Franzbear is nominated for the 2006 award for being the funniest member.

Seriously, once a member receives it, he become very scarce around PF. Maybe it's the color that's a problem? Pink isn't the most masculine color and the last two recipients have been male. Maybe wearing a "funniest member" badge is just too much pressure on the awardee to consistently be humorous?

or maybe there's some truth to those volcano sacrifice rumors? :bugeye:

We were trying to have a virgin sacrifice to the PF God, but as Moonbie has pointed out, we couldn't find any.

I thought it was some cult of the Pink Ribbon in which recievers must sacrifice themselves the the Pink god.
