Sorry for the etc... you know who you are, I was running out of space.

OK, it's going to be a fierce week. Here is your opportunity to strut your stuff.

Post your best posts here. I think this will be a fun stroll down memory lane for all of us!

No one voted for nader, not even nader.
 
no but he's the only one who didn't commit voter fraud. Win by default.
 
Following a promising start, the funniest member thread degenerates into political banter after four posts. hm, I guess that is kind of funny actually. o:)
 
Yah smurf, quit trying to slander me and my species.

It's actually not my own work. I just found it in a google search.

---edit---

My Av on the otherhand is actually my own work with cut and paste and a bit of blending.

I want to read some of the funniest stuff by all the other nominees, so I am going to start off with some of mine. This thread started out as a simple question about tasks that are unpleasant. Ivan mentioned a biologist saying masturbating a rhino, which struck me as oddly funny and I ran with it. My additions start on page 4 I think.

Another one of mine I liked was my internetathon for poor Tribdog who was complaining about getting too much sex. My contributions (to the post, not Tribdogs's complaint) started on page 4 I think.

I was always fond of my "Why is bra singular and panties plural? thread. But I can't seem to find it.

On a side note, a search of your posts only for the word panties, brought a result of 20 threads! Just thought you ought to know. :biggrin:
.
On another side note, so did mine. :smile::smile:

teehee, I just added myself to my buddy list.

How do you search the posts of someone? I only know how to "view all posts"

never mind, figured it out.

Maybe it's just me, but I found this thread highly amusing.

I want to win for the unfunniest member, so I'm going to come out with the oldest, corniest, crumbiest, worst physics joke (derrogatories in increasing order of negativieness) I can think of (it's actually the only one I know :P): Heisenberg was speeding, a police man stops him and says, "Do you know where you are?" to which Heisenberg replies, "Why of course, I'm two miles from the Swiss border cutting through the Rhine". To which the policeman replies, "Do you know how fast you were going??" ... sorry.. heh. That's not a bad idea for a new thread actually.. physics jokes!

Well, [post=724786]this one[/post] was kind of funny.

More importantly, Monique never did explain how she got a blister on her wrist from using a wisk.

I'm wondering what I was drinking when I replied to that thread. Beating egg whites with a blender? I must have thought she meant electric mixer. :confused:

Hey, Ivan didn't make the list? How can this be?

Mentors aren't eligible. Since we choose the nominees, it would be a bit unfair if we could choose ourselves. :biggrin:

he didn't make the list because he made the list. you use too many words moonbear.

Sorry, didn't know they were getting scarce. I'll try to conserve better in the future (though maybe not just yet). :biggrin:

If you don't use enough, you get an error message.

Edit: Hmm, still shorter than Moonbear's post.
 
  • #27
Moonbear likes to talk, but I got to say at least she isn't redundantly saying the same thing twice.
 
  • #28
I don't see what's so unfair about mentors nominating each other for these awards. It's the votes that count here and those come from we PF citizens. I think Ivan is being gipped out of a nomination that he deserves. He's clever, original, friendly and prolific with his humor.

Oh well. There's lots of other good choices here. Rules is rules.
 
  • #29
You can not move in with Ivan.
 
  • #30
Darn, you're on to me. Hey, maybe Ivan needs someone to feed his animals. I have lots of experience. In Arizona I took over my aunts job of feeding their 16 pets, 8 cats, 5 dogs and 3 donkeys. I'm pretty good at scaring away coyotes, climbing under houses or up mesquite trees to retrieve frightened cats and am a certified pet entertainer. I have limited experience with reptiles, amphibians and rodents. I'll even entertain plants, but I don't work with birds or fish.
