Can You Bring the Laughs? GURU Awards Approaching!

  • Thread starter Evo
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation revolved around the upcoming Guru Awards and the lack of humor among members. There were suggestions for more fun and frivolity, and some members even offered to bribe others for nominations. The topic of humor and whether it is innate or influenced by environment was also discussed. Some members were serious about the awards, while others joked about it. In the end, there were mentions of strong contenders for the Funniest Member Award and a humorous reference to a survey on how people spend their time.

Sorry I thought the act of ripping my heart out and kicking it under the couch gave you enough laughs to last all year
Not really, but I do still get a chuckle when I look at that jar next to the pickled onions. :biggrin:

Gee Moonbear, do you remember when tribdog returned recently and announced that he realized being gone all year disqualified him from this year's contest and that he wasn't considering running anyway? Hmmmm?
hey! you can't expect me to follow whatever comes out of my mouth. Just because I said it doesn't mean I believe it
You don't scare me anyway Evo, I know I've got your vote.

I don't know about that. I heard rumors that she was running the Artman campaign this year.

Maybe I need to select the candidates endorsed by the Sex Party again this year. Since we had a nearly clean sweep of the categories last year, maybe I should select some of the underdogs this year and test my political theory that having a party affiliation, especially one with sex appeal, is all it takes to win an election. :biggrin:

:smile: You have to wait for the candidates to be announced. Oh, and just ignore Artman when he tells you the Genco families control the campaign ad sales.
 
  • #146
can you tell me the price for a flash banner and popup? maybe my sloga, "appreciate yomamma" (thanks to sloganizer) above the baner?
 
  • #147
appreciate yomamma
but vote tribdog

is it okay if I pretend this is your warped way of flirting with me?

There's nothing warped about it from where I'm sitting; it must be you. Maybe you're panting too close to the monitor again.

I haven't put the sticky guru threads up yet, sorry, I need to remove a few stickies to make room and want to put everyone's thread up at the same time.

Hold onto your posts, I promise stickies will appear tomorrow!
 
  • #156

  • #157

Whatever you said
I think Danger or tribdog is it hands down. We all know that. Danger has been around since last time more than tribdog so I think he'll win 'er.

Ok ok ok joke time... I just made this one up.

That's even funnier than this:

Dammit Evo, you better talk to me. you are quick to delete my posts so I know you are there and I know you know me well enough to know I don't do well to being ignored.
I understand mentors aren't supposed to show favorites, but no one expects that in here. Everyone knows you are my favorite and how could I not be yours?
all I'm asking for is a little hearty eyes or a big tooth. I'm easily satisfied

Just for that, I nominate you for the sticky guru award. :biggrin: (Yes, I'm still waiting on that groan smiley I've been asking for all year...maybe I'll finally get it for Christmas? Huh, Greg? Huh? Huh? :-p)
 
  • #162
How bad that members can't submit their nimination! :frown: I wanted to nominate people that I'm sure the mentors wouldn't think of them at all! :-p(You can't guess who they are, can you?)

Yeah, we were promised that groan smiley with the upgrade. I think it's time for an uprising.

(...ugh, and no, not that kind of uprising. Some of you are so twisted. tsk, tsk.)

I don't know if this has been asked in this thread (I'm too lazy to read through 11 pages worth posts). But how many kinds of guru awards do we have?

Moonbear said:
Yes, that is the problem with tribdog and Danger both being absent so much of the year...
I don't think it would be important at all. Sorry but I have to say it again:
"Quality is more important than quantity."
1 good joke's worth more than bunch of not-so-funny jokes.(Yeah, some jokes really make me laugh whenever I remember them.) On the other hand I think that would be a clever idea for funny member(or people) to disappear for a period of time, because after awhile people get used to their jokes and they don't make them laugh anymore.

BUT this post of me doesn't mean that I'm going to vote Danger or
tribdog!o:) Since there are lots of funny member around here that I can't choose btw them, I'm going to vote a person who's more serious than the others.:cool: (At least a serious person with the funniest member ribbon looks funny anyway. Let's give serious people a chance of being funny for 1 time!:-p :rolleyes: )
 
  • #167
One of the Guru criteria this year is that a nominee must have participated in the forum in which the ribbon is being given for at least 2/3 to 3/4 of the year. So, we're talking 8-9 months of solid participation in order to qualify.
 
  • #168
Does my "thread killer champions" thread count as continuous participation?
no wonder you aren't talking to me. I wouldn't want to tell me that either. Post count isn't a criteria huh? Nearly 1000 posts, the incumbency and actually being the funniest isn't enough? Maybe I'm jumping the gun here, but the pink ribbon is the only thing that got me through these past few months. The chemo, the rehabilitation, the skin grafts, only the thought of the pink ribbon brought me any relief. The thought of not even being allowed to defend my title is probably too much to bear. Especially with all those surguries coming up. You do what you think is right and go ahead and make up new criteria without notice. If you don't think I deserve to be considered for a second term I must bow to your decision. Do me a favor and don't tell my doctors anything about this, they said I needed the right frame of mind if I was to stand any chance of survival, I'll try faking a smile when I see them.

It's not so much quantity as consistency. If our court jester just runs off for 6 months, where does that leave us? We end up grouchy, and have to issue lots of warnings, and ban people. It just isn't good for PF. We need someone who's reliably funny. (And yes, the 8-9 months of posting was an agreed upon criterion...there's always next year).
 
  • #170
How about an option for a write-in candidate?
 
  • #171
I was part of PF before you got your first training habit, so I don't want to be told what is good for PF. I was here 5 skins ago and I've been here for every one since and I've ALWAYS put PF and the PF family at the top of my list.
I didn't realize the award was for Most reliably funny member. Why vote at all? why not just call it a Perfect Attendence award. I hear the Nobel is going to go to the same system, no more awards based on brilliance. mediocrity and punctuality are the new standards.
I know there is always next year. I'll be here, I've been here every year since the doors opened. I'll be here and I'll be funny. Once this little rant of mine is done I won't say another word about it and I'll go back to being the funniest member at PF, just like I always do. I'll go back to over reacting to any perceived slight on anything PF related and I'll go back to having fun while I'm here. I just won't go back to being told I'm bad for PF, and that isn't an attack on your mentorship or motives, it's directed towards making my own motives known. I only want what is best for PF and obviously what's best for PF is me. and if I could just get you freakin' newbies to accept that as fact things could get back to normal.
ps just because I ended with a joke doesn't mean I don't think this is a bunch of bulls't.

AHA! So you *did* just return to try to regain your title.

Do you realize that none of the new members for most of the year even knew there was a "funniest member" because you disappeared? BAAAD DOG!

I don't think last year's winners should be eligible to run again, spread the love, let others have a chance to win. :smile:
