Its given to a person who succeeds to (almost) kill himself in the most abso----smurfing----loutely ridiculous way.

I almost won it, but was in the end disqualified for actually killing myself.

Doesnt count man
You have to die on the start and not at the end

No...I believe the qualifacations are to 'die or otherwise remove themselves from the genepool'.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #5 on:** December 15, 2005, 08:42:18 pm »

I would have to actually do stuff that would cause bodily harm to win the award and since blasting away at the keyboard isn't dangerous enough I will be unlikely to win the award

Here's a linky by the way

ChadTower · « **Reply #7 on:** December 15, 2005, 08:59:21 pm »

I almost won one as a kid when I sat on a 2 foot high anthill and got so many ant bites on my legs that I went into a toxic shock...

I have done many, many stupid things and hurt myself many, many times. But much like the Highlander, it would seem I am immortal.

There can be only one.

In your case, there can be only half

Even 1/2 a turd is still a pile of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

Giving the award to threads loses its appeal after 1000. Then it's just sad. Which is still funny.

In your case the council will make an exception.

You get the award for being BORN. (OUCH)

And on another note, killm hurt, smash, bang, whatever.
As long as its plain stupid, your a candidate

c64rulez · « **Reply #15 on:** December 16, 2005, 01:28:45 am »

I can now nominate myself (almost)
I just dragged my unfinished cab indoors (building took place outside the house, 15 meters away)
With no one to help me, and 10 meters of grain terrain between the cab and house, I decided rolling the cab on two boards, replacing them, fore and aft.

For one thing, the ---smurfette--- is heavy.
For the second, dark clouds above were just perfect for getting an award.

Luckily, It did not rain. I wonder if I would have posted here anything if it would have.

ChadTower · « **Reply #16 on:** December 16, 2005, 09:44:28 am »

Not unless you left it out there.

The cabs can get wet, they can get hosed down and cleaned with water. You just can't saturate them.

c64rulez · « **Reply #17 on:** December 16, 2005, 09:49:10 am »

I wanted to hose it. I swear I did want to.
Was ashamed to ask

Stingray · « **Reply #18 on:** December 16, 2005, 09:52:17 am »

Man it's been so long since we had a Floyd. It's kinda neat to have a new one.

ChadTower · « **Reply #19 on:** December 16, 2005, 09:53:35 am »

I think I came in right after Floyd met the trebuchet.

c64rulez · « **Reply #20 on:** December 16, 2005, 09:56:03 am »

What's trebuchet ?
I think its "a refrigerator" in deutsch , ja ?

brophog · « **Reply #21 on:** December 16, 2005, 09:56:31 am »

It's kinda like a catapult......kinda.

ChadTower · « **Reply #25 on:** December 16, 2005, 10:02:37 am »

Dude, if you're in Europe, and don't know what a trebuchet is, your whole school system loses at History.

c64rulez · « **Reply #26 on:** December 16, 2005, 10:05:39 am »

Man, If you checked my profile and dont know where ISRAEL is, well, your school system and our sewage are one and the same

nostrebor · « **Reply #27 on:** December 16, 2005, 10:06:29 am »

I am quite sure that Israelis and trebuchets have crossed paths at some point though.

ChadTower · « **Reply #28 on:** December 16, 2005, 10:08:05 am »

Check someone's profile? Never!

Sorry about the President of Iran.

It's true, now that tommy only comes around every few weeks, we have a role for you.

Sad, isn't it. Reminds me of when my sister used to pick her sports teams......she'd just look for the best ass.

ChadTower · « **Reply #37 on:** December 16, 2005, 10:19:24 am »

She probably won just as often as most people do.

If you have to ask you haven't experienced one yet.
