Did someone say sex party? I brought the bungee cords. Oh, whatshisname's still here. Guess I should have brought some penicillin... be back later... maybe.

is it okay if I pretend this is your warped way of flirting with me?

There's nothing warped about it from where I'm sitting; it must be you. Maybe you're panting too close to the monitor again.

 

[Evo]

I haven't put the sticky guru threads up yet, sorry, I need to remove a few stickies to make room and want to put everyone's thread up at the same time.

Hold onto your posts, I promise stickies will appear tomorrow!

 

[tribdog]

in alphabetical order or length of member...ship?

 

[Pengwuino]

or by continent of origin in alphabetical order?

 

[tribdog]

Antarctica? you bastard

 

[Mk]

Whatever you said

I think Danger or tribdog is it hands down. We all know that. Danger has been around since last time more than tribdog so I think he'll win 'er.

Ok ok ok joke time... I just made this one up.

A lemon walks into a bar. Bartender says: "Why the long face?"

That's even funnier than this:

 

[tribdog]

Dammit Evo, you better talk to me. you are quick to delete my posts so I know you are there and I know you know me well enough to know I don't do well to being ignored.
I understand mentors aren't supposed to show favorites, but no one expects that in here. Everyone knows you are my favorite and how could I not be yours?
all I'm asking for is a little hearty eyes or a big tooth. I'm easily satisfied

Just for that, I nominate you for the sticky guru award. (Yes, I'm still waiting on that groan smiley I've been asking for all year...maybe I'll finally get it for Christmas? Huh, Greg? Huh? Huh? )

 

[Lisa!]

How bad that members can't submit their nimination! I wanted to nominate people that I'm sure the mentors wouldn't think of them at all! (You can't guess who they are, can you?)

 

[honestrosewater]

Yeah, we were promised that groan smiley with the upgrade. I think it's time for an uprising.

(...ugh, and no, not that kind of uprising. Some of you are so twisted. tsk, tsk.)

 

[Moonbear]

Why do you think I was nominating him for a sticky guru award?

 

[ranger]

I don't know if this has been asked in this thread (I'm too lazy to read through 11 pages worth posts). But how many kinds of guru awards do we have?

 

[Lisa!]

Yes, that is the problem with tribdog and Danger both being absent so much of the year...

I don't think it would be important at all. Sorry but I have to say it again:
"Quality is more important than quantity."
1 good joke's worth more than bunch of not-so-funny jokes.(Yeah, some jokes really make me laugh whenever I remember them.) On the other hand I think that would be a clever idea for funny member(or people) to disappear for a period of time, because after awhile people get used to their jokes and they don't make them laugh anymore.

BUT this post of me doesn't mean that I'm going to vote Danger or
tribdog! Since there are lots of funny member around here that I can't choose btw them, I'm going to vote a person who's more serious than the others. (At least a serious person with the funniest member ribbon looks funny anyway. Let's give serious people a chance of being funny for 1 time! )

 

[Evo]

One of the Guru criteria this year is that a nominee must have participated in the forum in which the ribbon is being given for at least 2/3 to 3/4 of the year. So, we're talking 8-9 months of solid participation in order to qualify.

 

[tribdog]

Does my "thread killer champions" thread count as continuous participation?
no wonder you aren't talking to me. I wouldn't want to tell me that either. Post count isn't a criteria huh? Nearly 1000 posts, the incumbency and actually being the funniest isn't enough? Maybe I'm jumping the gun here, but the pink ribbon is the only thing that got me through these past few months. The chemo, the rehabilitation, the skin grafts, only the thought of the pink ribbon brought me any relief. The thought of not even being allowed to defend my title is probably too much to bear. Especially with all those surguries coming up. You do what you think is right and go ahead and make up new criteria without notice. If you don't think I deserve to be considered for a second term I must bow to your decision. Do me a favor and don't tell my doctors anything about this, they said I needed the right frame of mind if I was to stand any chance of survival, I'll try faking a smile when I see them.

 

[Moonbear]

It's not so much quantity as consistency. If our court jester just runs off for 6 months, where does that leave us? We end up grouchy, and have to issue lots of warnings, and ban people. It just isn't good for PF. We need someone who's reliably funny. (And yes, the 8-9 months of posting was an agreed upon criterion...there's always next year).

 

[mattmns]

How about an option for a write-in candidate?

 

[tribdog]

I was part of PF before you got your first training habit, so I don't want to be told what is good for PF. I was here 5 skins ago and I've been here for every one since and I've ALWAYS put PF and the PF family at the top of my list.
I didn't realize the award was for Most reliably funny member. Why vote at all? why not just call it a Perfect Attendence award. I hear the Nobel is going to go to the same system, no more awards based on brilliance. mediocrity and punctuality are the new standards.
I know there is always next year. I'll be here, I've been here every year since the doors opened. I'll be here and I'll be funny. Once this little rant of mine is done I won't say another word about it and I'll go back to being the funniest member at PF, just like I always do. I'll go back to over reacting to any perceived slight on anything PF related and I'll go back to having fun while I'm here. I just won't go back to being told I'm bad for PF, and that isn't an attack on your mentorship or motives, it's directed towards making my own motives known. I only want what is best for PF and obviously what's best for PF is me. and if I could just get you freakin' newbies to accept that as fact things could get back to normal.
ps just because I ended with a joke doesn't mean I don't think this is a bunch of bulls't.

 

[Pengwuino]

No one has told me if i won yet.

AHA! So you *did* just return to try to regain your title.

Do you realize that none of the new members for most of the year even knew there was a "funniest member" because you disappeared? BAAAD DOG!

I don't think last year's winners should be eligible to run again, spread the love, let others have a chance to win.

 

[Evo]

No one has told me if i won yet.

Depends on how much chocolate you've shipped.

 

[Pengwuino]

I shipped a whole create with Fedex... it hasnt gotten there yet?

 

[tribdog]

with this new lack of standards you just might. congratulations. I'd say your nun like appearance might be enough to have the ballot counting lean in your favor

no, actually I came back because I finally got out of a rotten situation and was feeling happy for the first time in a long time and when I'm happy I think of PF and this is where I wanted to be. I wanted to be around you. I was happy and sharing my good feelings with you makes me feel even better. I said "I wasn't going to run for a second ribbon.i" (although I didn't know I didn't get to keep the first one) if it was going to cause a problem.
but no, it wouldn't be a problem and quite a few people said it was between me and Danger and I started thinking about winning again and I started getting excited about it, and you could have said something about your decision a long time ago.
I'll forget everything if you tell me you love me and give me your phone number.

 

[tribdog]

also, I don't think previous winners should be disqualified. I think the best should win as long as they are the best.

Ever heard of Lance Armstrong? Ever heard of the guy who won the first Tour de France?

 

[Artman]

...artman sometimes comes up with something extremely funny, but when he bombs it is just as extreme.

Are you underestimating my ability to bomb?

 

[Andy]

poor old tribdog, i won't comment on who deserves the funniest member award but he certainly deserves a shoulder to cry on.
