JH was always the auto-winner in previous years, but last year he went all serious 'n stuff. He still had some great ones, but his lols/post ratio is diminished due to the number of non-lolly postings.

Forumer of the Year '08 Bruce Banner Least Improved Forumer '08 Bruce Banner (How can he get any better?) Most Improved Forumer '08 High Voltage Much less "LOL penis!" this year, a lot more mature conversation and input into some of the better conversations. Kudos. Funniest Forumer '08 Johnny Hopper Master Debater '08 tallen702 Biggest Troll '08 FreeEnterprise Die In a Fire (DIAF) '08 Brihard (I actually have the best statistical likelihood for this actually happening to me at the moment) I also second extending the nomination period by a week so everyone gets a chance to see it.

I would agree on nominating Mack for funniest. If you changed the category to Most Amusing, throw FE in there. Is DIAF equivalent to "Biggest A.. Clown"? |
Posted By: PaiNTbALLfReNzY
Date Posted: 22 January 2009 at 9:57am
More specifically, it's equvalent to someone you would like to see die in a fire. But to answer your question, yes. |

Date Posted: 22 January 2009 at 12:20pm
Coming from you, I'm honored. I've always thought your type of humor came across better on the internet; although, there have been a few threads where I thought our respective styles have worked quite well together and have both been more effective for the interaction.
The Evilkat thing was never intended to be funny; it is merely how one of my other personalities chooses to manifest itself. I've been thinking of creating my own category and nominating myself within it: Best ownage of a putz via an internet discussion. (LOL-2 CMHs)
I think I should be added to that list: My plan includes a Mauser for long range dezombification, a pistol for short range action, a bicycle for quick/agile transportation, living off the land and hiding places in the mountains that people can't climb to easily, let alone Zs. (Zs can't climb according to the survival guide.) Additionally, my plan involves taking advantage of the northern winters by finding Z-cicles and smacking them in the head with heavy objects. (Easy terminations-they can't fight back and no splatter since they're frozen.) -------------

Damn, forgot Reb's a firefighter. Then again they also like to load the IEDs here with jugs of gasoline to make a bigger fireball.
