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?
Posting this to Clint ahd jonny, since I think one of them has the infamous “SNARK-ATTACK” pic from the AI thread...and it truly needs to be shared with this thread...
good idea..I’ll vote in Ca. Az. and TX, yep !
I am already penning my acceptance speech....”I would like to thank the little people...unfortunately they are vacationing on Marthas Vinyard just now..........” ;-)
when Obarry said Pooty Poot slumps like a kid in the back of the class....no one dared state Obarry walks so upright he looks like he has a stick shoved up his butt
With all the action I think Obammys arse has seen, if he relaxed his stance at all, and tried to walk, his arse would be playing the Muslim call to prayer!
crap that’s funny......I still cannot believe we have a communist,Muslim, Queer, who passes himself off as a black man who and answeres to Mr President
Tax-chick is not Snarky, she is Smart. Howlin was Snarky.
Meanwhile in some un-named Asian country
Oh, well okay then!
See what I mean?
You’re not snarky, you just reply like a normal person.
I guess I was unclear on the concept.
**************************
Agreed! Tax-chick is one of my favourite FReepers!
Tax-chick nominated herself.
It is true, but that must have been a misunderstanding. Now that it's officially verified that I am not Snarky, someone needs to persuade my kids that I'm not Obsessive-Compulsive i.e. insanely clean.
Yes. She is the snark queen. A snark maestro.
Aye, but YOu are the gifs behind the snarks...and that alone makes you at least Snark princess! LOL ;-)
No, it just means that I am good at HTML. You stand alone, m’dear.
Mags is THE Queen of Snark hands down.
You can’t tell me a retired hard boiled USN Commander Viet Nam Vet Chief Nursing Officer
who had to dish it out better than she got just to hold her own with the men who served around her isn’t the Queen of Snark.
You want the snark? You want the snark! SON, YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE SNARK!
