I wish to bestow upon **Fenris** the title of “Poster most likely to make you spew liquid out your nose” (there must be a more elegant way to say that), based on his work in these threads:

Such a charming and yet bitter wit. I love it!

Several innocent bottles of water and monitors/keyboards in my home and at my work have gone to their deaths because of his work.

All Hail **Fenris** , God of Comedy! 😉

[sub]I spend most of my time in GD and the Pit. Sorry if I’ve missed someone else’s humorous posts. Yes, **Scylla** , I know you did the Dr. Seuss thing first. Also, I will pay anyone willing to stick their hand in Fenris’ mouth $1 - and call them Tyr. Or Baldur. I forget.[/sub]

absolutely I agree! what a card. Plus, he’s smart, likes books, cats and Bugs Bunny, eats sushi and dim sum, and has nearly impeccable taste in music ( 🙂 )!

no wonder **mags** and I have agreed to share him with each other!

I could go on, and on about the reasons I agree with you, but everyone knows them already and it’s so much easier to just sum it up:

**Fenris** is a god.

Hm. I guess you know that already too.

I should also mention two cartoon videotapes that I recently received in trade from him.

But I won’t. 😉

My song for today is…

# I like Fenris / He is funny / La la la

This would be a good place to mention that although previously i have said that i wish Fenris was my brother, in a slighly unsavoury twist i also have a secret crush on him.

I have been know to search on his name to read his most recent posts. I’m not ashamed.

:: blush ::

What a great thread to discover first thing in the morning! Thanks **dogsbody**! I’m honored.

**wring** : ditto to you to 😃 (and you still respect me after my “Bubblegum music” thread") \<Durante voice\>“Whatta doll!”

**Arden** Thanks! (and we’ve gotta have another Amber discussion at some point. The last one was great)

**Euty** If you had mentioned that you got the tapes, I would have said that I’m glad you got 'em and asked if you had a chance to see any of them yet? But you didn’t, so I can’t. 😉

**Francesca** : Either the brother thing, **OR** the crush thing, please. But not both. Brrrrrr. I agree with JeffB (any relation to David, Jeff? 🙂 ) when he says :eek:

🙂

Flattered Fenris

I’ve often wondered that myself – I’d be honored to be related. And don’t forget **JimB**. Maybe people will start calling us “the B Brother.”

Just to add another link to **dogbody** ’s list highlighting the genius that is **Fenris** :

Then i choose the crush thing and apologise for :eek:ing you. I probably shoulda phrased that better.

I’m still singing that song though.
