Ever heard of Lance Armstrong? Ever heard of the guy who won the first Tour de France?
Lance Armstrong won an unprecedented 7th Tour de France, and did so consecutively from 1999 to 2005.

But to win one has to enter the contest and participate. :biggrin:

Incidentally, the winner of the first Tour de France was Maurice GARIN in 1903. :biggrin:

I should probably clarify one thing here. I'm not in fact attempting to win anything. If an opportunity for a humourous comment presents itself, I'll take my best shot at it, but I don't actively go out of my way to be funny. The ribbon should probably go to someone who is more dedicated to it.
 
Looks like Danger doesn't want it, and tribdog can't compete because of some silly rule, so I guess we might as well not even have one!

I still think we should get the option of a write-in, and also a none of the above :smile:

I was lucky enough to see the last stage of the Tour de France. Check out his picture.

I agree with this. Sometimes I do go a little out of my way to be funny...okay, writing a bunch of song lyrics to tease a guy complaining about getting too much sex, writing hundreds of posts in the The Thread Killer Champions thread, posting a bunch of captions for photos... okay I often go out of my way, but it is because I like the be humorous. I don't care if I win anything or not. However, it is an honor to be nominated.

and it shows, but that's beside the point.
I don't go out of my way to be funny either.PF is my home page so it really isn't out of my way. I do think of myself as the comedian of PF and I get a lot of comments and emails telling me how funny I am which may have gone to my head, but I've been this way for a long time and Losing the ribbon is like losing my job. I suppose I'll learn to live without the ribbon, and if Greg wants to make me a Comedy Mentor that would be fine too and would probably aid in my recovery
 
In case you guys didn't notice, hypatia already won this year's funniest member award. :biggrin:

Nominees still chocolate haven't been decided. chocolate

I think we have a winner! Congratulations, Hypatia!
*throws confetti at Hypatia*
 
Have you noticed that mentors' titles are 'PF mentor' sometimes but then it changed to 'Super mentor' again!:bugeye: At first I thought we were going to have 'mentors' and 'super mentors'. I mean kind of promotion for mentors!

For a long time I thought "You're funny" is a kind of insult!:-p I still can't understand why some people around here want to have "the funniest member" ribbon.:eek::-p It would be a lot better, if they changed it to "the wittiest member" or "the most humorist member".
 
Wow! A woman won. That's great. Congrats to hypatia, although I can't remember when we vote for the gurus! :bugeye:

I thought MIH tied with hypatia with the comment:

<drags lint roller over Moonbear's piece of cake> :smile:

That was a good one.

The guys need to get busy. I think MIH and hypatia are way out in front.

How can anyone top ballistic lo mein?

It would appear that way, but I suspect those are implants.

Hey, there's a forum for this now! :eek:
Yep, voting should open tomorrow and last for a week. We're just rigging...er...I mean setting up the polls now. :biggrin:

I'm not even sure what the final list is. If you didn't make it on the list this year, it was probably extremely close, that's all I can say. Moonbear and I are so proud of everyone here.

P.S. That extra pound of chocolate could have made the difference. :rolleyes:

I think Greg is on central time. You'll have to wait an extra hour.
 
I am going to make the guess that more than 50% of the people who will win will be at the top of the list :smile:

this 360 is way overrated. I mean, it's cool, but I'm just not into it. You can have mine if you want it oh wait, I'm not on the list am I? Nevermind

Yeah, what's with that? You slacker, you didn't even make the funny list.

There is more to life than being funny. I'm just glad I've still got sexy and well-hung on my list of personal adjectives.

Well...I don't seem to be able to come up with a non-ban-worthy joke for that.

That said, I still show people that thread about you welding the soda bottle to the carpet for laughs. Still funny.
