I second that, too. He should come in second, after Evo.

They should share the award. I don't care in which order they're thrown into the volcano.

:bugeye: Oh, no, no, Ivan is *definitely* funnier than I am. :rolleyes:

Oh, and don't forget Moonbear, Moonbear is a riot!

(sorry MB, but my fear of being fed to a volcano is second only to my fear of getting water splashed on my face)

(oh wait, that water thing is a secret)

Alright then, let's have Ivan for some more time, so that he could do a farewell stand-up act or something before he is also thrown. :devil:

Ivan's pretty funny, but I'm sure the volcano will be satisfied with the comedy stylings of Moonbear and Evo.

They can probably scream quite well too. (A prerequisite to satisfy the bloodthirsty volcano gods.)

Oh no, I'm horribly, horribly boring. Way too serious all the time, never have any fun, nope, the volcano god would be highly displeased if you were to toss me in. Just ask Cyrus, he'll tell you all about how I torture kittens by keeping them locked indoors...would a funny person do that?

I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with this, it might be performance anxiety, but do we have to post pictures of our 'members' to enter... the contest? Is a slight curve funny? And what about the females... statistically there must be one or two around here... ok maybe.

Or are they the judges?
Gosh darn this is embarrassing.

:smile: Oh, wait, sorry, I probably shouldn't laugh at that. Don't worry, I'm sure lots of guys have that problem. :rolleyes:

No problem, we'll slather you with the appropriate habanero marinade. Turbo and I can whip up something real quick.

BTW, thanks for the nomination. :rolleyes: I owe you one - a big one! :biggrin:

And thank you MIH, turbo, and radou for the endorsements.

Based on this, I've decided to run for "Leader of the Free World" bypassing the US presidential elections next year. My first act as LofFW will be to anesthetize GW and Ahmadinejad so they don't harm themselves or anyone else. Or maybe we could just put them under the cone of silence.

No, I think I need an invisibility cloak. Clearly I need to work on my inconspicuity.

"bloodthirsty"? That's it... you've crossed a line, pal. You should know better than to break forum rules by engaging in religious bashing. I expect the mentors to rectify this immediately.

Um, he meant it quite literally. The volcano gods thirst for blood, which we quench via sacrifices. You wouldn't want them to dehematate now, would you?

Yup, the way my hands burn after making habanero relish, I expect Ivan might welcome a cool dip in a volcano after we slather him with it. :biggrin::devil:

"Um," and when will otherwise rational people such as yourself (and possibly Turbo-1) understand that these stories are purely metaphores -- not meant to be taken "literally?" It is unfortunate that your response to me violated the forum's no speculation rule. I fully expect you to cite a peer-reviewed scientific journal backing up your "dehematate" idea (whatever that is) unless you are *asking* for a Warning!

Shall I take you to meet them in person?

I guess you haven't noticed that for the past few years every winner of the Funniest Member Award disappeared. Danger squeaked by because he shoved some of Moonbear's sheep subjects into the volcano, then proceeded to hide in the upper forums.

I believe there was an article published in the peer reviewed journal "Dehematation Quarterly".

Evo said:
Well, there you go, proof.
Sorry, but a formal review of this article is so hopeless that I'm surprised it managed to even get past the filters and get published. A proper scientific analysis should have considered various other possible explanations and conducted experiments under laboraty conditions before ruling any of these other possibilities out. For instance, isn't it equally likely that the Volcano God actually is not drinking the blood of his victim, he mearly pretends to so as not to insult the hostess of the dinner party? A researcher paper on the subject must take this into consideration. This guy isn't even *pretending* to understand the subject of Holy Volcanology. And besides, I hear that this Rama Ho Lama, the leader of this research institution, still holds out hope for Uri Gellar. Seriously! So, are you, or anyone else, telling me that Volcano Gods really are blood-thirsty based on this so-called research? I hope not.

Aw man.. we've been doing it wrong.:redface: We're supposed to be throwing in virgins. No wonder Danger and Tribdog got coughed out like furballs.

In another equally valid reference frame, Danger and Tribdog previously had some spicy Mexican food and "let out" a volcano! :)

:bugeye: Oh, that would explain why Pengwuino was accepted...
 
  • #55
Note that the accepted exchange rate (male to female) is 10:1. We can get a lot more bang for the buck throwing females in. If we push a couple of the Sisters in, maybe the volcano gods would regard the subject of virginity as a non-issue.

I miss all the penguins we used to have around here. :cry: Even if they did steal the fish.:frown:
 
  • #57
Didn't Pengwuino claim he hadn't been around for a while because he had a girlfriend? Was that a last ditch attempt to escape the volcano? It all makes sense now.

Yes, but it was too late...he was still a virgin.
 
  • #59
virgin? i only know of one and it flies away as soon as one gets aboard.
 
  • #60
Well, am I in the running?

Is it worth reading up on pyroclastic flows and lahars, and how to avoid getting roasted and scorched?

Does the winner get on of those cool thermal suits?

Does the winner get a choice of volcano?

I'll probably think of more questions when the contest gets started.
