The King/Queen of Snark is..........

OK, I admit it. I love snark. I love a well-crafted one, and I love to try my hand at it. Perhaps too often, I will concede. You definitely don't want to be considered "too snarky". But I can't help it. It's just too much fun. When I see a headline that is just screaming out for snark, I jump on the thread, and all too often see that another Freeper has beaten me to my snark.

Did you know that the plural of snark is snark. As in "I posted 5 snark today". Honestly.

While I play at snark, I am an amateur next to some of the practitioners on this august site. I have seen many fine ones over the years, masters at the art. There was a historically classic one just the other day.

The purpose of this post is to determine the greatest, most magnificent snarker on all of FR, and to crown him or her with as the "King of Snark" (or "Queen of Snark", as the case may be. This is FR, so there will be no category for "otherly gendered"). That person will be not gain a throne, throw people in the dungeon, earn a lifetime of unearned wealth or otherwise act like royalty, but they shall be entitled to a modicum of respect and shall be exempt from liability for the damage they cause to monitors and keyboards. I also propose that the winner is given a Death To Viking Kitties card, which they may use only one time and so must use it wisely. That card will allow the bearer to say or do anything just the one time, and even if the Viking Kitties start warming up, and waving their wands and the lightning is flashing, the King (or Queen) may smite those kitties and escape unharmed and no worse for wear. Just the once, though.

Joe ProBono is way up there, in my book. His wit knows no bounds. However, in my opinion, the crown goes to his muse and sometime sidekick Revolting Cat!, whose snark combined with timely and obscure photos render his snark above all other snark.

What say you?

It's snark week, after all.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Around here, sometimes it seems like EVERY week is snark week.

[Defiant]

He meant "Snark Week".

There are clinics available that can treat your disorder.

Many plans will cost-share with you for the next 6 months or so...

All bets off after that.

Snark Week

I nominate MagUSNRET

[Defiant]

You are definitely in the running. Some good stuff.

[GeronL]

Oh dang, people actually notice those comments? :p

[Defiant]

Ping!

[martin_fierro]

You Who.

[One Name]

I have long suspected that you bite the heads of crustaceans.

No civilized person would do that. Unless, they perhaps liked crawdads.

I’m indisposed ill to my stomach...

In before Bible quoters!

Snark Car is above criticism because its wheelchair accessible and that makes it better than you.

JoeProBono has attained "legendary" status already, as far as I'm concerned. Let's just give him the award.

Johnny Lydon, real name Johnny Rotten, declined induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. In Cleveland? (I ain't kidding!) I rest my case.

[GeronL]

Maybe those Halls of Fames are the only thing keeping Cleveland from becoming Detroit! Ever thought of that, huh?

but probably not

[Revolting cat!]

Yeah, I’ve thought of that, but remember that Motown didn’t keep Motown from becoming Detroit!
