If we're nominating for the OFfies, I don't think we can overlook @MSNWatch's late entries to the category for "OF member to most likely be a victim of a well-planned heist (by other members)"

I'll be in charge of explosives and safety equipment, @ulackfocus could be responsible for logistics (two white vans), power drills and swearing during the heist.

I'll do hazardous entry and IED disposal.
I'm sure the mansion is well protected by numerous booby traps so I'll need a point man (Irish mine detector 😁), any volunteers?
Troels can be in charge of blowing the safes, I'll bring a litre of nitro for him.

@MSNWatch - See Mike? Not only do they want to 'permanently borrow' your collection, they want ME to be the wheelman. That bribe of one measly mint black waffle dialed Constellation is sounding pretty cheap right about now, ain't it? 😉 😜

Oh, BTW @ConElPueblo..... white vans occasionally get looked at suspiciously here. Dark colored Luxury SUVs with tinted windows are the best suburban camouflage.

With a toupée and a 35 lb weight loss, I could do the Edward Norton part. 😜
Yes the part was written for you. Tuck your tail in.

What about the HUGE dummy spit by "Stiofan", or was that Patrick under another ID?

Actually, it was a banned member who reregistered, but I don't recall it being Patrick. That happened just days after I hung up the spikes. Steve and I talked about it. I had a hunch who it was, and Steve did some digging at the same time. He called me and we both came to the same conclusion.

Oh, and we have 2 Patricks who keep on reincarnating themselves. Most of you guys weren't around for the first one - Speedycosmograph who then was Elroy, who had another screen name or four, the last one being Lapanouse. He probably still has some sleeper screen names.

N00bs, old hands, and those assigned with unflattering-yet-appropriate avatars and personal tags all rejoiced at this news... ::stirthepot::

Chipmunk goal for 2017.

Well, at least we can understand this post.

Actually, I used to have a goal of ridding ΩF of all trolls. Then I realized it was an impossible task, so if you can't beat'em, join'em.

bravojonyjurisevac goal for 2017 = give code language all speak under.

Forgot to add one - Best n00b inquiry about a vintage watch, which is a tie for posting clean pics AND installing an avatar for their first posts.

I had to put aside my bias toward Tracer Bullet / Calvin & Hobbes so I could remain neutral.

Hey, much obliged! 😀 I must say I love this place, it's easily the best / fastest forum I've ever used (it took me probably 5 minutes to make my account and set that post up!). Hopefully I'll have more to contribute here in the near future. 👍

Is there also a worst of the year, like "Rotten Squirrel" or something?

"Best" entry of a new member ever, made me laugh in the U-Bahn in Munich, where nobody laughs...

Dare I say "Will I B******S"

I forgot about that guy. Darlinboy has that particular custom avatar message because he adopted it from Mickjn.

See guys? Even members who get banned in less than 24 hours can have an impact on this place.

A personal favorite of course...

And this one, the moving adventure of the guy who had left his military issued SM300 in a shed for 10 years:

Edit, and also this one, celebrating all of the ladies:

Glad I've now read it, not only because it's quite funny but also because I had always wondered what Darlinboy's avatar message meant.
