Best of 2008: Funniest Post

Unread postby wisconsin_cur » Sat 03 Jan 2009, 09:50:45

OK guys. Same rules as last year. Use this thread to make nominations for "Funniest Post 2008". This category is for a post. Please feel free to second, third, etc, other people's nominations. After 10 days (i.e. on January 13), I will close nominations and make the top nominated posters into a front page poll so people can vote. The poll will run another 10 days and on January 23, we'll announce the winner.

Last year's winner in this category was PrarieMule's Ask a Nigerian Post.

Good Luck everyone

It may not be this post per sey... but combined with some other stuff Roccland/Roccman said I always get this mental image sitting in a bunker gumming down MRE's.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')N the last 5 years I have as at leat 6 dentists to pull all my teeth out...I am 40 ish...They all said no ...it is unethical to remove good teeth.

I think not have teeth may be a good survival strategy as we move down the back side of hubbert's peak.


Of course, tooth pain is no laughing matter (knock on wood).

Both caucasian and nigerian dignitaries in the know all laugh with to a point of a hurtful belly at the wit of MrBigtex

Peak oil is only an indication and a premise of limits to growth on a finite planet.
Denial is the most predictable of all human responses.

I don't get how that post is funny. Obviously you people have very limited understanding of humor.

The nomination process is now complete. Vote for your choice in the poll. The poll will be allowed to run for one week, then we'll announce a winner.

Of a thousand burning bridges
Sifting through the ashes every day
What we thought would never end
Now is nothing more than a memory
The way things were before
I lost my way" - OCMS
