Generally speaking, I agree. I just don't really care. :)

Raiderhader is the worst poster? You're delusional. LMAO

where'd you see that?

his official rank was

"up there"

I forget that we're going off of your limited knowledge of CP history. Carry on.

Your choice to be in this thread. -CC get a clue

is that supposed to be a slight on me?

did you pound this guy, too?!

SNR's Top Ten Darkhorses for Hootie's Top Ten

1. cdcox- This guy has it all. He's universally well-liked, extremely thoughtful, creative, and his prediction software kicks unbelievable amounts of ass. He's got good grammar, he's polite without being annoyingly chummy, and is a long-time vet. I shouldn't even be listing him as a darkhorse, but he still tends to get overlooked by people. No clue why.

2. DJ's Left Nut- Here's another guy who shouldn't even be on this list. I simply haven't found any room yet on the first two drafts of my Big Board Top Ten, but I'm almost positive as things clear up he'll be in the running for a spot. I don't know of any other poster who can authoritatively deliver his football opinions from such a clear and dispassionate perspective. One downside is he's a lawyer. Hootie's experiences with lawyers might be somewhat sour what with all the raping he does.

3. tk13- I don't frequent Royals threads too much, and I don't see him posting football stuff as often as he used to, but his positive reputation around the forum and good-natured personality make him somebody that nearly everybody considers in a top quality poster. Really, the only reason why he's on the darkhorse list is because I don't like how he makes fun of me for liking Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald." It's a good song, damn it.

4. Demonpenz- A far subtler version of Thig Lyfe who doesn't seem to bruise quite so many vaginas. Personally, I find his McRib story to be one of the finest posts ever crafted on Chiefs Planet. His problem is going to be the presence of Thig Lyfe and a few others with eclectic personalities. There may not be enough room to fit all of them in the top ten, but Demon's got a pretty decent chance.

5. keg in kc- I've got quite a few dinosaurs on here who were around from the earliest days of Chiefs Planet. Keg's in the realm of cdcox and tk13 in terms of likeability. If Hootie looks past keg's tendency to disappear for weeks at a time as well as his love of nerd culture, keg's got a top ten ranking in the bag.

6. Direckshun- A poster on my personal top ten list, there's no guy in the entire forum who performs his citizenly duty to the Planet as much as Direckshun. And by that I mean rather than sit around and bitch about the dullness, monotony, or culture that the forum takes, Direckshun is always out there to do something about it. He asks questions. Starts threads. Puts out content and DISCUSSION material. Not sure if Hootie will see it that way, and instead might be annoyed by all the mock drafts he posts. But it's something that can not be ignored, and it will keep Direckshun in the discussion for a top ten slot.

7. Saulbadguy- I'm taking a total stab in the dark on this one. I don't think there's anybody on this forum who can stir so many panties with such little effort. It's beautiful how he does it. The man should write a book. Zen in the Art of ****ing With People.

8. loochy- Another poster in the Demonpenz mode with a little more of a straightforward style. If I were to compare them all to members of the Monty Python troupe, he'd be the Terry Jones to Demonpenz's Eric Idle to Thig Lyfe's Terry Gilliam. Strong candidate for the 8-10 slots.

9. milkman- A sour old man who gets turned off by the crazy antics of young whipper snappers. Many people believe milkman won't score well with his running gag of calling people dumbasses. He's a poster that may crack the top ten through his no-nonsense football knowledge, something that has earned him respect since this community's first few days of infancy.

10. DaFace- Very likely we won't see any mods in the top ten, but if there is one, it's gotta be DaFace. During the "unnecessary drama" spat with Gonzo, Hootie mentioned how he longed for the Chiefs Planet where DaFace was the primary mod on the job. The fact that he's a mod is what being a darkhorse is all about.

LMAO

Does this mean that I think you are probably kind of hot, but I'm not really sure because you won't post a good picture?

Not at all, and no.

I'm too lazy to check right now, but the other day you were at the top in rep Hootie. Did you earn all of it or did a mod help you out?

I called Gonzo and Lumpy rep whores one time so Gonzo gave me like 100000000000 rep points.

Nah. I bring very little insight to football talk, which seems to be very valued by Hootie. I love the Chiefs, but I don't have the depth of knowledge about the Chiefs (and the entire NFL) that other quality posters do. I'm a consumer of football knowledge, not a dispenser. Also, I tend to be really hot and cold in terms of posting frequency depending on how things are going at home and work.

I think people that use rep very often are stupid.

I don't give much rep but when I do it's usually for a pretty funny post, or one I really agree with.
heck on the mobile site there are no rep buttons.

And I very rarely give neg rep, has to be something out of line
Posted via Mobile Device

Wow. I've fallen to 26th. And to think I used to always be in the top 10. How will I ever go on?

Analysis: Eh, maybe? I can understand his posts just fine. He probably reads at a higher level than 5th grade. The Royals rep threads are far too ****ing numerous, though. There are a butt ton of posters probably more worthy of a good ranking than KC Tattoo, but I don't think he deserves the low 90s. A bit of a reach there.

Grade: B-

I think it'll be funny (interesting, not comedic) to see where Hootie's list falls in line with the top 101 in rep, if at all.

Honestly, you shouldn't even be in the top 100.

I have given 40 total reps since November 2012.

Most of them are probably when I'm still drunk and giggly in the morning.

Ouch. A knife through my heart.

Just keepin' it real.

At some point it will backfire and I will laugh...well I won't laugh but I'll lament for you. Threesomes aren't very smart.

I bet you like seeing your name at the top of that list don't you? If you were put in the red from mod abuse it would irritate you, amirite?

I think threesomes are ****ing creepy and weird.

I agree with you. I'm pretty worthless. It's further proof that rep doesn't mean jack.

not one bit

moderators

feel free to bottom out my rep

I just find the rep system fascinating. I find it hilarious when I see certain people at the top of the rep chain and then I read their posts and think to myself, "what are people repping?"

Are you actually giving that as an example of not giving a lot of rep?

does donger have any posts that don't include a question mark?

it's fascinating

Yes.

Considering who the douche at the top of the list is, I couldn't agree more.

I assume you gave Floppy nice sloppy one to make that happen.

I can tell already that this list needs to "cc Get a Clue".

He's just being douchey because I criticized his work. He comes across as very insecure.

Sure. You'll note that the ones which don't contain a question are oddly missing any question marks.

And we have come full circle with the typical hootie thread.

THIS IS NOW A REP THREAD.

rep

I didn't bash the thread you dipshit. I was making a comment about people getting butt hurt about the list.

Anybody else watching Jeopardy! right now?

I can't ****ing stand the returning champion. He's a dickbag Yankees fan and he also picks clues all over the ****ing map. He doesn't start at the bottom or the top. And he'll do something like, "Potent Potables" for $400 and $800 respectively, then completely switch categories and dollar amounts!

****ing prick.

I've never watched it. Is it good?

I enjoy it. It makes one feel like a genius when you can give all the correct responses in a category.

I find it to be the only good still-running game show on TV. More than any other, it encourages the viewer at home to play along.

surprise, the correct answer is; "what is jeopardy?"

I was just reading about it on "Wikipedia." It sounds very interesting. Thank you.

I also love how you don't have to know anything about the categories to gain an educated guess from the clue. For example, here was today's final jeopardy in the category "Art Subjects"

In 1816, Francisco Goya published a series of 33 etchings called "La Tauromaquia," which depict this activity.

I know only a little bit about art, but almost nothing about Goya. I also know almost zero Spanish. I was able to get the correct response given the cues from the clue.

Now THAT is a superior game show. It places more emphasis on actual smarts in its contestants than just a backlog of trivia knowledge they might possess.

I've officially lost interest. maybe I'll come back later int he summer and get caught up.

bullfighting?

i really didn't look that up either. is that right? Spain and Tauro....

What is bullfighting?

ROFL This thread is ****ing comedy gold after a long day at work. I'm gonna have to rename it the UPS thread. It delivers!

Or in Hootie's case, what has brown done for you lately? Ba dum dum!

now you got it, but how much did you wager?

it made my pants smelly

All of my "Casino Cash."

That is correct

(Yes loochy, you got it too)

i wagered more than donger, i win


SUCK IT QUESTION-ASKING GUY

man, that was the FINAL question? that was too easy

did all 3 get it right?

Wanna know how I know you're a sexually unsatisfied housewife?

he slept with MTG #10?

Final Jeopardies are often really simple. The most difficult clues I think are the high dollar amounts in the regular rounds. They don't give you 30 seconds to come up with a correct response and they rely far more on your trivia knowledge than your skills at finding clues in the question.

Surprisingly, the hotshot dickbag New York guy didn't get it. He clearly shat his pants and guessed "What is the Spanish Inquisition?" Serves him right. Glad he's not going to play anymore.

Don't underestimate the impact of time constraints and television pressure.

A friend of mine actually made it on Jeopardy and the final question asked something about the Presidential election. It ended up being a civil war era answer and my buddy said something like 1857.

An odd number.

For a Presidential election question.

Yeah - that's stupid. And we all know it sitting here because we're not sitting there with a few thousand dollars on the line.

But yeah, bullfighting sure seemed pretty easy there.

Jeopardy doesn't start until 7 pm PST here. Thanks for the spoiler. :cuss:







:)

watch it with someone else and seem like a genius

Also, while the Final Jeopardy clues can be decipherable if you've got a broad enough base of knowledge, oftentimes it will be a category that you think is pretty simple, but the clue is wicked hard.

For example, Monday's clue had three pretty damn good players and they all got this one wrong in the category "20th Century People":

In a PS to an April 12, 1945 letter, he wrote, "this was dictated before the world fell in on me... what a blow it was, but-- I must meet it."

I would have bet a lot on that category, but I would have gotten it wrong.

Then there's the one from the next day, in which I'm somewhat meh on the category, but the question clearly provided all the clues one needed to come up with the right answer. I just didn't put them together. Only one contestant got this one right in "French Literature":

An article about improvements in transportation, including the opening of the Suez Canal, inspired this 1873 novel.

Correct responses:

Jesus Christ dude no one cares

even though I did read all of that and the spoiler for the answers I could have never gotten right in a million years since I never paid attention to anything at any point of my education 'career'

Oh - good idea!

I actually don't usually watch Jeopardy; I was just giving SNR a bad time.

The game show that makes me feel smart is "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire".

I got the first one - That guy lived in a constant state of self-doubt. I read through a lot of his personal correspondence, etc... at the Truman Library as part of my capstone project in college. He was just constantly doubting himself and his qualifications. Just a dour dude. Churchill never had such compunction. He was pretty damn sure he was a God.

Who is Truman?

Frosty seemed pretty upset that I spoiled the final jeopardy for him.

I was. What am I going to do with my Thursday night now?

Of course, someone should now do a Final Jeopardy! question with Who is Hootie? as the answer.

well Frosty is off the list

It's pretty cool if you're getting a beej from some other guy's wife, though.

Total power trip!

supremely talented rapist with a tiny dragon and a propensity for poking large bears.

amazingly enough

I don't have any sick and twisted sexual desires

pretty vanilla

Oh, I'm sure that it could be more creative and honest than that.

Are you able to achieve erections now, or are you still impotent?

Anybody able to get the 2nd one right? That one was really tough. I think for that one you just have to have a large mass of knowledge about French Literature... think about the 5 or 6 most famous French authors and what they wrote that was so damn important.

Outside of stuff by Dumas and Hugo (Les Miz, Hunchback) I was drawing a blank. Jules Verne didn't even occur to me, which sucks because I read a whole bunch of his stuff in high school. I was kind of obsessed with him. Didn't read Around the World in 80 Days, though.

of course you'd opt for the two guys one chick threesome....

See! A question that was!

"The Mysterious Island" FTW. :thumb:
