With the recent influx of idiotic posts, I would like to start a thread nominating the top ten stupid posts. I think 1st place should be awarded with a shoe to the nuts by Saeed. I would like to start this ceremony with a prayer: "Dear Lord, please bring an end to this terrible recession and a start to the new years hunting season so that these idiotic posts will end. Thank You."

8) How gay is too gay to hunt in Africa (Will)
9) How ugly is too ugly to hunt in Africa (Jerry Huffaker)
10) Chobe Bushbuck (Silwane)

I'll add one to the list,

11) Top Ten Stupid posts (505 Gibbs)

You need to go back farther and look up carmello, adrook, and chipolo. Then you could make it the top 50 threads of all time!

But you are doing ok, so carry on.

Mad Dog

Cats & Dogs? should definitely be in there!

What prompted this highly subjective and opinionated diatribe? I hope that whatever it is that caused you to lose your sense of humor ain't too serious.

To set the record straight, my thread had 135 replies and 5901 views (one of the highest in recent times)...So, by default you are calling all of us in effect, a bunch of idiots.

Nice manners there bud!

Please see the 2nd rule. Many of the posts that I listed have tons of replies and tons of views (some even by me), which I personally think amplifies the rediculousness (sp?)(please see rule #4 before correcting) of some of these posts. I wonder how some of our posters bosses would react if they saw their employees working so diligently to solve these mountainous issues?

Hee-hee, I knew you were poking fun at ALL of us, but hey, that's what this forum is all about...BTW, I am the Boss and yes, I do often ask myself why I'm wasting time on all of this...It is entertaining though!

well i dunno but #9 was pretty (wrong term) relevant especially considering the context

I will say that it seems like the last thirty days or so have seen an inordinate number of inane posts/threads started. I just figured that we were in that dead zone between the safari shows and the season cranking up full speed. We can only hope that the quality of the threads will improve. If the best we have to offer is how fat, how gay, how ugly, how tall, how short, how bald, how handicapped, how athletic, how old, how young, how horny, how sterile, how weak, how strong, etc. . . . can you be to hunt Africa, heaven help us.

I need a special billing code for all of the non chargable time I've racked up surfing AR...

Hence my prayer...

I really am hurt! I didn't even get a single "honorable mention".

Am I slipping?

Rich,

Aparently you're crazy/excentric not idiotic. Sorry.

Thank God things are beginning to thaw out in the north and safari season is starting up. You can tell from some of these posts that some people have too much time on their hands.

I think we have a new one...
"505 Gibbs" by fairgame

Might want to add this one '505 Gibbs'

Hey!! I made #10 with Chobe Bushbuck!!!........

It is great I get to be on the list and all but......I was under the assumption that there was not too many people here that were missing him....I was thinking of that post as a public service of sorts, he did disapear after that thread........

Ok....my appologies to all that miss his witty banter and compelling subject lines, Rich please forgive me..........

The problem as I see it is the thread needs to be more like the Top Hundred posts.

I am sure many will not agree but I think all of the "Help Me Decide" post should rank at the top of the list.

How can there be people who are so familiar with all AR posts that they can actually think of 10 stupid one, along with their title and initiator? I know there is such a thing as the search function, but really!

Oh! Oh! Oh! How about the ones that ask the same question as was asked last week and the week before. (search function reference)

My feelings are hurt, I think my post was a lot more stupid than 9th place, I should at least be in the top three. I know for a fact that I'm stupider than Will, Shakari, and Chobe Bushbuck.

Can't you just feel the Love around this place, Kumbiaya!

Even during my relatively short tenure on this site, I've seen far too many qualifying posts to narrow them down to a mere ten. However, the vast majority of the winners originated with a small handful of individual posters. Perhaps you could follow the lead of the Oscars, and allow the awarding of Lifetime Achievement Awards to those individuals who have done so much in this area.

And it's a tie between:
Who Deserves the Credit? PH or Client (Chobe Bushbuck)
and
What happens if you shoot your tracker? (fairgame)

Jerry,

you lack a certain je na sais quoi; and style is very important here. It's how I've gotten by for years.

Rich

just ask Brett

That was a solid, thought provoking thread. How could you place it on your "bottom 10" list?

505 gibbs,

I propose it impossible/borderline haresy to have a comprehensive top 10 worst list without adrook being included!!!!

Brett

505 Gibbs. I wrote you a story - the most dangerous game - and I hope you enjoy it.

Dear 505 gibbs, I am of the opinion that you really need to down size to .243Win. It is patently obvious that you are exceedingly recoil sensitive.

CharlesL,

Think my new thread .505 Gibbs might beat Chobe Bushbuck. But 'how to mount a baboon' must take the biscuit.
