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.

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:

Now that's just mean...

so who here wants to help me with my gasoline cooled liquid fuel rocket?

And you think a clean house will beat out chocolates and cold hard cash?
Well, considering the table she posted earlier indicating that cleaning the house seems to be taking time away from orgasms (it's fun to misinterpret data, isn't it?), I think having someone else clean the house is a great idea. More time for eating chocolate too. :biggrin:

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.

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

If Zooby doesn't win 'funniest', the accolade will have no meaning.

What are the other awards?

Could use the member photo thread as the basis for phwoarest (male and female). How about a 'nicest'? People don't get told they're nice much.

Cutest! Not physically cute, just members that make you go "ahhh, look at him/her". Maybe that could be a bit patronizing.

I think Evo's nominated me for 'most meaningless' and 'absurd'... I hope I get the latter if anything.

I'm just waiting for the battle for the Strangest Canadian Guru Award. I ordered plenty of maple leaf thongs, pudding, and clothespins, and a fresh batch of rubber chickens are on their way (I know no one wants to get near Danger's old one :eek:).

(Oh, FYI: before any of you guys embarrass yourselves, the maple leaf goes in front. :wink:)

Most Wanted (I just think it'd be funny, could be taken either way)
Most Innocent (in a cute way)
Most Sympathetic
Highly Respected
Brutally Honest
Super Sweet (for the nice-person one)
Most Posts (getting desperate...)
Original Thread Master (I really should stop...)
Most Amusing
Most Unusual

Okay, okay, I'll stop.

We get the hint, self-proclaimed "Most Ideas" nominee. No, I think the awards are set. There's several science-specific ones, and a few 'good chap' types.

Huh? I'm not going for a nominee. I just joined, remember? I'm just throwin' stuff around to see if anyone likes them, that's all.

Oh my. A flock of seagulls just flew in the window and carried all of the maple leaf thongs away... and burned them... and buried the ashes. Put me down for a dozen calendars. :cool:

Yeah, you'll need quite a few for the summer when the light shining through the magnifying glass sets the calendar alight. Ahem. Not speaking for myself.

And the PF babes calendar? Do we have volunteers?

I'm paranoid about having my pictures online. If someone made an edit to my face or something, I'd probably do it.

This place is run by the PF Sisterhood...aka..."Nuns with Guns". There will be no "PF Babes" Calendar.

The Sisterhood makes the rules.

Send pictures. :-p

HRW - great job with the trained seagulls :approve:

So, even the guy with the Spanish Moniker is effecting an English accent.

Please only put me up for something I can win. When I was in high school, during my Senior year, I was runner-up for "prettiest eyes." I was devastated by the loss :cry:

True, my accent is effected - effected by being English, what! But it is not affected.

On member photos? Yes, I think I saw. No, it wsn't that, I was just wrestling the urge to resort to base, Carry On style humour in response to Math Is Hard's comment. But I won out. \o/

This is just for the nomination. If you want the ballot box stuffed, that costs extra. :biggrin:

  • #98
It's a group consisting of moonbear, evo, tsu, honestrosewater, SOS2008 and someone else I think.. (I can't think of you all :redface:) And basically if you don't give 'em chocolates you get banned.

why is this NOT on wikipedia?
