MFW's Unofficial November Humor Award

No beating around the bush this time.

November's MFW Humo(u)r Award goes to Allan for Toneatronic!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAH! I love it. LOVE IT!

And (in no particular order) worthy of praise but left in the dust by
toneatronic:

- Kromagnon's Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard French Vanilla
Crème warning:

"Try this flavor with 8 oz. of orange juice; it will knock your
socks off. Either wear shoes or take your socks off to avoid
this problem. "

- David's one gazillionjillion creatine links.

- Tom Anderson's ever-changing .sig files, but especially:

" 24-Hour Monkey-Vision!"

See:
http://groups.google.com/group/misc....f540f3b50b903b


- Just about everything that David Cohen has written this month. (Vegas
or anticipation of Vegas just must make him funnier.)

And, of course,

- Bully's spelling of steroids.

"You misspelt STERIODS !!! HTH."

It did, Bully. It helped me laugh up a lung. (Almost.)

I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention some hella funny contributions, but
those are what struck me this month. (Okay, yes, I forgot to keep track
of some posts that did offer great laughs, but nothing - I'm almost
certain - tops toneatronic. Nothing!)

Sharpen your wit, ladies and gentlemen, December will be here and gone
before you know it.

I think that 'David' guy is funny as hell - he wins the award hands down.

If you thought that was funny, then this from the same author today in
the rugby group will corpse you:

And this is why it's named the *unofficial* humor award. Simply no
telling what people will find amusing. But, yes, _that David guy_ is
one funny bastard! Agreed. ;o)

> (not the atheist Jew one of course!)

And in other, oddly enough, Cohen news...

Borat creator, actor, etc., Sacha Baron Cohen, upon learning that the
Kazakh government was considering suing him for events, activities, and
performances related to the movie _Borat!: Cultural Learnings of
America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan_
<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443453/>, stated - in character Borat -
"I'd like to state that I have no connection with Mr. Cohen and fully
support my government's decision to sue this Jew." From Rolling Stone
magazine issue 1014, November 30, 2006.

Haven't seen it yet.

I passed on Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump, and Titanic, too. May give
this one the same treatment.

Is that irony? Because I've heard that irony is funny. ;o)

If that's not irony then never mind.

I may have not presented it properly; here it is again (and it was in
uk.rec.bodybuilding and not the rugby group):

It wasn't just that he made the same fuck-up in the other group, or
that he made an attempt to bullshit his way out of it, it was the
additional misspelling of misspell ("misspeel" [sic]) that made it
really funny! ;o)

In fairness , this is what happens when he attempts to multi-task
[phone conf & MFW at same time]. He is such a busy tycoon.

It might be an idea for some people to learn to scratch their arse
while chewing gum - now that is *real* "multi-tasking"!! ;o)

(I hope I speeled that correctly.)

When you two have finished this mutual hands across the sea routine,
could we please get on with deciding who is the final choice for this
month's award?

If an early decision is not made then the Humour Award stands to be
discredited due to inept and biased management, much the way the Idiot
of the Month Award foundered under the wayward stewardship of Art.

We need, nay demand, proper control of this very powerful new organ in
MFW culture.

Have a great weekend lads - you know I intend to! ;o)

November's MFW Humo(u)r Award was awarded to Allan for Toneatronic!

Perhaps I'll be getting another eviction by the Humour Committee, but
"toneatronic" just had me in stitches.

You may well be right Charles - however there is only one 'powerful organ' I
can take care of at any particular time (maybe not so new)
(I think that Curt guy shouldn't be involved with this award as he is
obviously biased!) -

far. (Plus we have to take into account that we don't pay you very much)

Does it matter that the toneatronic guy wasn't kidding? I still don't
find it very funny. He has been in business since 1982 so someone is
buying his stuff.

No.

Unintentional humor is often better than the unsuccessful attempts.

> I still don't find it very funny.

Well, I did jump the gun on the award. I'd much rather have a list of
those in the running and then gather votes for the winner of each
month's humor award.

I'll give that a go this month. Thank you for your input. Seriously.

I've been meaning to mention that, David. You left the budget report on
the desk and I noticed the amount of money the Humour Committee
receives for all those meetings. Bottle after bottle of the most
expensive Chagrine as well as junkets to exotic locales.

And then there's me. ZERO salary and a dusty cubicle, dial-up, sorting
through the failed attempts at jokes and jests. Plus the VERY humorless
bastards I have to deal with as well. BAH!

It's a thankless job, I tell you.

But you do it with such flair and there is no-one else could even
begin to collate and evaluate all the contributions so well.

Well, not unless they were on steriods and able to multi-task! ;o)

You must keep a grip on yourself Oz!

>obviously biased!)

He's the best man for the job, other than those who think they could
do it better, which is not strictly true because some of them don't
have a real sense of humour, and some of the others can't even speel
properly! ;o)

It was good value, but you need to remember those who are regularly
contributing (like almost every other post) what they think to be
enormously 'witty' contributions, some of them one-liners, and even
one-worders, who will become frustrated and vexed if they don't get a
mention.

Trouble with you, Curt is that you are ungrateful. I realize that you are
'underpaid' but you do have the *full* use of the cubicle. This was your
initial request - you particularly said that you must have your own cubicle.
Well you got the cubicle all to yourself. You don't think I wanted a
cubicle?? You don't think Charles wanted the cubicle?? Instead we have to
represent the Humour Committee on those boring trips to Tahiti and those
other foreign places. You think we *wanted* to go on those trips? Look, Curt
I don't want you to feel like we don't look after you - remember that bottle
of Chargrine that was a little "off" in the last meeting? We kept it for
you. Yes I want you to have it for yourself. OK now?

Granted, the Iraq junket must have been a chore.

Ah, le Chagrine! All is forgiven, of course.

Didn't he claim to look like James Bond this month? That was pretty
funny.

Yes, I admit "toneatronic" was an entirely selfish award. It just
struck me loopy. TONEATRONIC! Beauty.

Okay then! Nearer the end of the month, I'll post my list of
nominations in its own thread and encourage anyone else to post to that
thread or start their own thread..

I imagine there will never be a consensus, but I might change the humor
award name to "Unofficial Humo(u)r Award (by Committee) for, you know,
sh!ts and giggles."

Hmmm.

I can see the challenge there.
OK, let's forget the whole thing - Charles and I, we do trust you to handle
the awards (sorta)

I do believe he did you know.

As a result he thinks he is now licensed to bore people to death!! ;o)

Have a great weekend - you know I am! ;o)

expect to get away with it!!

I think it is "steriods" with everything, which are a big aid to
"multi-tasking", particularly when you make several fuck-ups and then
try to wriggle out of it by pretending it was all a well-planned joke.

A sort of retrospective manipulative Whoosh! ;o)

Er... excuse me, I have a conference call coming in...
