AI Thread Summary
The upcoming Guru Awards have sparked lively discussions about humor and nominations, with participants expressing a desire for more fun and creativity in the lead-up to the event. There's a consensus that humor seems to be lacking, prompting calls for members to step up their game. Chocolates are humorously suggested as bribes for nominations, and various members are playfully vying for awards, including the "Funniest Member Award." The conversation touches on the nature of humor—whether it is innate or influenced by environment—while also debating potential nominees, with names like Artman, Danger, and Tribdog frequently mentioned. Some participants express concern about the lack of strong candidates this year, suggesting that humor may have diminished. A lighthearted tone prevails, with jokes and playful banter about the awards and the potential for bribery, ensuring that the spirit of fun remains central to the discussions.

The guru awards will be coming up in a few weeks and it's looking pretty bleak for GD. NO ONE IS FUNNY ANYMORE.

BE FUNNY DAMNIT!

I want to see rampant fun and frivolity here for the next few weeks. :devil:

*starts packing UPS boxes full of chocolates*

What's your address again Evo?
 
Looks like we have our first candidate. :approve:
 
Wait, Evo, don't we have to agree on nominees? (Hint hint to Pengwuino :wink:)
 
And who do I make it out to?

Yep, pengwuino needs to double up that load.

Ah, this is going to be a very good holiday season. There *is* a reason the awards are held this time of year. :wink:
 
Chocolate? Psshhh. How about your own personal assistant for a month? (and chocolate)
 
I think Jameson just made the call-back list. :approve:

In general, is humor a quality you're born with or is it due to environmental conditions?

Humour: One of the four fluids of the body, blood, phlegm, choler, and black bile, whose relative proportions were thought in ancient and medieval physiology to determine a person's disposition and general health.

I think that you're born with it but it's influenced by environmental conditions.:biggrin:

I think humor is situational.

So people who are comedians and stuff are special then... I thought humor could me taught and stuff... So if you aren't born with it, then it's not possible to be a Rosie O'Donald or Chris Rock etc...

I'm very serious about humor.
 
  • #25
I just hope that this can be a good clean contest this year, with no dirty tactics like bribing the judges with sweet, tasty, melt-in-your-mouth, confections made from the finest ingredients and shipped to their doors. :wink:

When you think about it, the whole idea of giving sexual favors just for a nomination, is just...well it just makes me shudder and moan uncontrollably for hours and hours.:wink::-p

So let's just keep this a good clean contest this year. Right Evo, Moonbear? :wink::wink:

Woohoo! I think Artman is a shoe-in. :-p

When it comes to humor, the Brits generally have an advantage, and the Canucks (e.g. Danger and Smurf) come in a close second.

Although the Americans with Artman, Pengwuino, and zoobyshoe, are providing strong competition this year.

If chocolates don't work - try subliminal mouse songs. :smile: :biggrin:

Humour Schmumour. (I'm affecting a british accent per Astronuc's suggestion.)[/color]:biggrin:

What you need on all these forums are references, dammit.

For example, this one: http://network.news.com.au/image/0,10114,5063429,00.jpg which demonstrates:
Researchers in Germany have finished a survey that tells them how people spend their time. With an average life-span of 78 years most time is spent sleeping with the least time spent making new people.

Other time expenditures:
5.12% 4 years housework | 0.96% 9 months washing and ironing | 1.71% 16 months cleaning | 2.78% 26 months cooking | 7.05% 66 months watching television | 8.97% 7 years at work | 0.64% 6 months traffic jams | 1.71% 16 hours orgasms |
I'm available for cleaning, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Yes, I do windows and ironing. :biggrin:

I'd say that this work would be a prime candidate for an Ig Nobel prize.

Zz.

I for one am
shocked by this blatant attemp to influence the judges.
By the way, I like to run the vacuum. That repetative motion with the throb of the powerful motor making the firm handle vibrate as I shove the growling beast back and forth, through the thick carpet, is just so invigorating. :approve::-p
 
  • #36
It seems to be a bit warm in here. :blushing:

I think pattylou may be a contender as well now. I knew there was a reason I didn't care much for ironing and doing laundry...it's too distracting from more important things. :biggrin:

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services.
He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"

Do I get a nomination?

After all this is officially the worlds funniest joke (all be it not mine!)

Oh and I like to vacuum in the nude. I would like to iron in the nude too, but I decided it's better to wear my wide leather tool belt when ironing. :wink:
.

Now, where can I deliver that chocolate, P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L-L-Y? :wink: :wink: nudge-nudge, say no more, say no more.

(Love that joke zanazzi78):smile:

You do realize that "be funny" to the mods means $$$$ donations

I propose a Darwin guru award. No contenders yet, but I can think of a few folks who should take a shot at it (so to speak). :biggrin:
