The Results for the Most Favourite Poster Thread...

[Coldfire]

OK, it *did* take a while. But I was kindly reminded by Imthecowgodmoo that I owed you all a Final Verdict regarding the "Favourite Poster of the Millennium" thread. So, here it is !

I'm pasting all this straight from Excel, because I don't know what codes to use. Hope it turns out OK..... Oh, and I only incorporated people who were mentioned 3 times and more, just to keep the list somewhat managable. For those who are interested, there *is* a complete version which is three times as long.


Envelope, please ;)

Hey! I was listed a few times in that thread... where am I on the list!

Hmph!

She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again.

[Coldfire]

Burn, a joint 45th spot for you with 2 mentions. Sorry mate... But *I* still love ya ;)

I'm in with the in crowd
I go where the in crowd goes
etc

[TVeblen]

::with becoming modesty::

...and I would like to thank all those...

oh. (koff)

Never mind, I'll just slink off now; need to polish up the old nerd pack with some 409 and catalog my thimble collection...

(Forget geographic limitations; anyone else for a Nerdy Dopers Get Together? I'll bring the Zima.)

Veb

[Max Torque]

Hm, not on the list. I hereby pledge to redouble my efforts and produce posts that are more humorous.

caca poopoo.

[pluto]

I made the list because I create interesting topics like this one: http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/003785.html

[ChrisCTP]

With all due respect to my "fans", I don't wanna be on the list. So, I'm "the sweetheart of the SDMB"...blah, blah, blah. I'm totally undeserving of any mention on these things.

90% of my time here is spent in MPSIMS. I go a-blathering in the Pit now and then. But search for me in GD or GQ...g'head. Good luck. In the meantime, I'll be on my knees shouting "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!" ala Wayne's World...only I won't be joking about it.

I would like to resign as Favorite Poster #16b, and shift my six votes to TVeblen. Thanks anyway.

[Satan]

(The camera pans to Satan, looking stunning in a red tuxedo. He seems surprised, smiles and approaches the podium to the applause of the crowd.)

Oh wow... I can't believe this. Really, I never thought my posting was all that great..

(Audience continues standing and applauding voraciously)

Please... Please... Thank you! Please...

(Audience settles down)

I didn't prepare a speech, since I honestly thought that others were wittier and less controversial. So bear with me...

Certainly, I want to thank all of my supporters. You guys really know how to make an evil entity happy!

Secondly, I'd like to thank Cecil, without whom... Cecil, if you're watching, I can only say thank you for your inspiration, and we've got Air Conditioning down here now - thanks to the prospects of a Colts-Rams Super Bowl - so please... don't convert anytime soon!

(Audience laughs)

I also want to achnowledge the moderators, who allowed me the to take liberties in spite of their better judgments, most likely.

And finally, let me thank fellow poster Drain Bead, who has inspired me to new heights in life, love and Acrophobia. Not to speak of the "Big O!" Drain, you're way better than a fourth place tie in my book...

(Audience gives a collective "Awwww" and applauds some more, reaching a standing ovation again)

Wow... You like me! You really like me!

And thanks to this amazing response to my posts, I'm going to be back from my hiatus and posting even more in the new millennium!

(Audience roar is deafening. Drain Bead jumps from the crowd and she embraces Satan passionately.)

(Camera pans to JodiH, Melin, Auraseer, Whitetho and several recent Left Behind Message Board arrivals leaving the room in disgust)

Yer pal,

I propose the creation of a "Tied for 26th place" club. The TFTSPC could have secret handshakes, knocks, codewords, and meetings. We can talk about all of those losers in (snicker) 34th place. Perhaps once in a while we could have a special guest lecture given by someone in the top 10. It would serve as both inspirational and enlightening in our attempts to move up a spot or two.

This would of course be immediately followed by massive orgies.

------------------
Well, shut my mouth. It's also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling.

[PurpleCrackwhore]

Did someone mention orgies?

------------------
I really try to be good but it just isn't in my nature!

[Mullinator]

While I don't see your name among the lucky members of the 26th place club, I do believe we have an opening for a visiting Professor Emeritus of Orgiastic studies. Feel free to apply at our main office. A color 8X10 picture along with available audio and video tapes are requested.

[PurpleCrackwhore]

::sends an a/v resume tape along with several 8x10 Glossies to the main office along with a cover letter of plain brown paper::

------------------
I really try to be good but it just isn't in my nature!

Bravo Satan! So I'm between trash and pluto.

[ChiefScott]

::Streaks the stage behind Satan at the lecturn::

Whoo-hoo!! Go big 12!!

[Polycarp]

OC...better than between the Moon and New York City, I suppose! :)

[Gazelle]

Who rocks the party that rocks the body?

Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!

:::raisin' tha roof:::

[Girl Next Door]

I've never quite understood the regular need to post "most popular" lists on this web site.

Maybe I'll "get it" once I make the list.

Cold....I'm not sure how Drain will take being called a sparrow. You might wanna start running now.... ;)

And damn...I'm amazed I even got 5 votes. Tied for 19th! Woohoo!!

[Coldfire]

Cecil is 45th (joint) with 2 mentions. What can I say, the dude don't post much on these message boards ;)

Hmmm... maybe NOW, after the naked pillowfight thread, someone will vote for me!

[Mullinator]

Consider it done Athena (based on how the videos turn out.)

[WallyM7]

What gives?

I voted for Veb 3 times.

And what am I doing on that list?

I don't want anything to do with people who will have anything to do with me.
Give my spot to Homer.

Stop telling God what to do.

[Mr Thin Skin]

Coldfire,

What number was Cecil Adams?

[elelle]

:::applauding Satan's acceptance speech. Falling LOL as LBMBs congregate to discuss the sad state of affairs here. Speaking of affairs*** smiles wholeheartedly to see Sat-an-Drain embrace in their now public fortuosity:::

Nice suit. Glad you're back !!!

[Byzantine]

I'm sandwiched between Sealemon88 and SqrlCub? THAT could make for an interesting evening... ;)

And Athena? ANY woman who will WILLINGLY have a naked pillow fight with me gets on my list next time! Hey what are all these naked – ow! Hey! I'm not ready yet! Let me oil up first!

------------------
Best!

[Sealemon88]

Too cool.

As a former unpopular teen, I'd like to thank everyone for their support. Y'all rule!

BBQ for everyone!

------------------
You say "cheesy" like that's a BAD thing.

[Johnny Angel]

Hmmm... some of the people on the Most Popular list are also on my Secret List. Well, if it's any consolation, at least you're well liked.

[Athena]

Byzantine is MY favorite poster! Chef Troy is next, since he feeds me.

[Athena]

Oh yeah, don't forget BunnyGirl, since she gave me sympathy yesterday.
