Okay, okay! Congratulations!
Actually, you've got a Fair Funkle Plus One.
I'll bet you did that on purpose so you could beat out Just Another Joe.
I knew you'd rub it in with that colorful stuff!

Rules for Funkeling.
In order to score a Fair Funkle on Free Republic, a FReeper must observe the following rules:
1) The thread chosen must have been active within 1/2 hour prior to declaring an attempt.
2) The FReeper must delare a "Fair Funkle" attempt in his/her first post.
3) The FReeper must post count downs from 4 to 1 (the declaration post counts as the first post) at no less than 5 minute intervals.
4) It is the duty of any freeper seeing the declaration to post a "bump", thus ending the attempt.
5) The successful FReeper may, at the fifth and last post, declare in any derisive terms desired, "I did it! A Fair Funkle!"
6) Scoring of Fair Funkles will be by a jury of FReeper peers (the Funkle Committee), and will include: time intervals between count down posts, total time consumed and thread popularity prior to the Fair Funkle.
7) Scoring disputes will be decided by the Funkle Committee and may not be appealed.
8) The awarding of the annual Fairest Funkle Of Them All trophy will be decided by the Funkle Committee.

Yes indeed, Joe, you are the most intrepid FReeper!
Just look at what you started. We haven't had a Fair Funkle in years, and now we have two in the last 24 hours.
Now all the competitive types will jumping in (I hope)!

LOL! I thought it was the SECOND Fair Funkle that had to do that.
I hate to rain on your parade, Glock, but the Fair Funkle Plus One doesn''t appear anywhere in the rules (since I just made it up yesterday).
Therefore, it will be up to the Fair Funkle Committee at the end of the year to see who will be awarded the trophy.
Please refer to the following:
6) Scoring of Fair Funkles will be by a jury of FReeper peers (the Funkle Committee), and will include: time intervals between count down posts, total time consumed and thread popularity prior to the Fair Funkle.
7) Scoring disputes will be decided by the Funkle Committee and may not be appealed.
8) The awarding of the annual Fairest Funkle Of Them All trophy will be decided by the Funkle Committee.

Hello gr.
Looks to me like collusion.
Hmmmmmm. We may have to have Congressional committees investigate the charge of collusion between yourself and members of the Funkle Committee.
Of course I, myself, would never bring such charges unless I had proof. ;^)

Banquet? What banquet?
Could you please show where in the rules it mentions a banquet?
Imported exotic beers? Little shrimp flavored rice crackers?
As a self-appointed member of the Funkle Committee, who doesn't care much for greedy people, I will probably cast my fair and unbiased vote for the Funkler who would be satisfied with just the trophy.
