Yes! Yes! He is by far the funniest member. However much of his humor is very subtle and requires some knowledge of math to understand or even detect.

I think I'm the funniest member. I didn't know I couldn't win twice. Then can I have a "former funniest member" Recognition?

I haven't looked all the way through, but see some good suggestions have been made, but have Lisab and mgb phys been nominated too (for being amusing, not for volcano fodder)?

I vote tribdog for recently getting banned. Was he? Well he got his own thread locked due to a single uncharacteristic final post of going on a rant of bashing Australians , which was deleted. " Uncharacteristic " because up until then he had made rather benign comments -possibly directed toward the moderators about how the thread was intended to speak well of the French and how the Polish were so awesome and then there was a sudden ( his final ) post where he just switched characters and went on a manic rant bashing the Australians in a way which no American has ever done before.
Alterior motives - a plan of his all along perhaps? Possibly. I knew that post was doomed and sure enough I found it deleted and the thread locked about 5 minutes after reading his final post. The thread was going smoothly and then it absolutely self destructed ... with all due respect to tribdog.

A person has to be known for being funny. A couple of funny posts don't qualify. We need consistency. This is for GURU.
I think we've killed off most of our funny people already.
I think Borek would make a good sacrifice. I mean, look at his avatar. He's just begging to be thrown into a volcano.

From the volcano point of view I am better as a toothpick than the snack. I am skinny, so instead of frying nice I will just turn charred.

I agree with the LisaB nomination, any way i think the guru award should go to a female, they are funny beast's without even trying.

This taxi driver stops to pick up a passenger and in climbs a rat.
"Take me to the IRS please."
So the taxi driver drives the rat to the IRS.
"Wait here," says the rat.
About five minutes later the rat comes walking out and climbs back into the cab.
"How'd it go?" asked the taxi driver.
"I only had to give the collector 20% of my cheese." said the rat.
"That's good!" says the taxi driver.
"No, gouda." says the rat.
"Take me to the IRS please."
So the taxi driver drives the rat to the IRS.
"Wait here," says the rat.
About five minutes later the rat comes walking out and climbs back into the cab.
"How'd it go?" asked the taxi driver.
"I only had to give the collector 20% of my cheese." said the rat.
"That's good!" says the taxi driver.
"No, gouda." says the rat.
