How does it feel to come in 3rd as the funniest person on PF? It must be a good feeling to know you bring such happiness to so many.

Saint rules!
 
I feel too old around here now, although I am probably younger than most here. But i don't find the threads half as funny as back in the day with Entropy, Robin Parsons that homeless crackpot that saved the Canadian tax payer 50 billion dollars oh and that brief appearance by cmdr sponge was cool aswell. Those where the days.
 
I still go back now and then to read Mr. Robin Parson's giant thread about starting his life over. I wonder where he is at right now...
 
Still at the shelter i reckons, dya think his missus ever caught up with him?
 
Bumping this up for the holiest man in PF. I hope bumping isn't immoral

As long as it is not followed by grinding, it should be ok. Its only in conjunction that they're immoral.

I was surprised Mrs. Robin Parsons didn't get a nomination for funniest member. She was pretty amusing!
 
Sometimes I miss Gino.

LOL. Yeah Mr. and Mrs. Robin Parsons rocked. Can we get hold of Mr. Robin Parsons email address and drag him back here?
 
  • #12
He doesn't have an address for fear of being tracked down by the NSA.

Hmmm...do you think tribdog shot himself in the foot with this one? :wink: :wink: :smile:

(Just bumping this nearer to the top for the sake of effect.) Feel free to hijack this thread for the sake of a good joke on tribdog...if we can add a few pages of posts before he checks in, he might think he did himself in when he sees my PM about Saint "winning" funniest member.
