  • Er.. it was definitely one of mine!
  • Of the serious ones, I'd say the Anonymous George about the immigration fraud. (And just to flog that dead horse one more time, it IS fraud.) Of the not-so-serious, PandaCam.
  • Well, we can't give them the scarlet monkey if they're anonymous, obviously. :)
  • Why not? Just because Anonymous is so prolific? I think he or she should still get a nomination. Psst: Is anonymous a boy or a girl? There's never a biography.

  • I'm telling you it's mine! I want the scarlet monkey! You shall never take him away from me! I shall call him Cecil!
  • I nominate this one. I also second PandaCam. Anonymous George is a boy and a girl!
  • How about the 'official plame leak thread'. That was an excellently researched and presented thread, with historical importance, to boot!
  • I REALLY want that monkey, so I'm going with pandacam.... Or any of my other fantastic posts...
  • You can't vote for yourself. You're disqualified.
  • *cries*
  • *feels bad, gives kitfisto a cookie*
  • Yum! OK, OK, how about this one? tee hee
  • /sigh
  • *does a merry jig*
  • Umm . . what FPPs were there this year? Just because I checked; Turkmenbashi: Oct 10, 2004 First post of 2005: 6699 awww yeaahh Now somebody go through all 3000+ posts and nominate the top 100. Quick, before Quidnunc comes back.
  • Hey, trust me, it's hard to go through 300 posts, let alone 3,000. I rather like post 6699, btw.
  • C'mon let's do the right thing. Set the scarlet monkey free and let him go back to his native Scarlettia.
  • No way. That monkey was caught red-handed boinking Monkye Goodwyfe by those ergot-poisoned children right over there. He's going to wear that scarlet banana, by heaven! Of course, someone with as little piety as yourself may not understand how our God works. *snif* *polishes hat-buckle*
  • Hat buckle? Didn't Hawthorne's guys wear shoe buckles? Maybe they had hat buckles too. /too lazy to search, doesn't really care anyway
  • I'm hat-buckling myself in for THIS wild ride! Woohoodeehoo!
  • Ha! Ha! Too late! While you Puritans were busy polishing yer buckles, I absconded him. Yes that's right. You may seek him here. You may seek him there. You may seek him everywhere. But in fact he's hidden away safely in a carry-on bag. In a hunchback disguise. And now to the airport.
  • Guards! Stop him!
  • I'm on my break!
  • Runner-up gets this beautiful (and useful!) radiator cap.
  • Yes, here we are on the tarmac, ready to board Flight 417 to Scarlettia. Thought you could stop us eh? Ha! Where's yer Puritans now, eh? Where's yer hat buckle now, eh?
  • In my pants. *jumps back into the MoFi archives*
  • FYI, PandaCam made it onto a secret in PostSecret this week.
  • The PandaCam post deserves the monkey. Or give it to me. Those are your choices, people.
  • I vote for Chy. His history demands it.
  • Fuck history. I've got a willy.
  • Save yourselves the bother. Just hand me the damn monkey!
  • Look, I'm obviously going to win, what with being so great and all, so why don't we just give the damn monkey to some sick kiddies or something so we can all feel good about ourselves and maybe indoctrinate some young innocent into the ways of righteousness and mofi-dom. Or give it to me. Whatever.
  • OK, well just to help jog your memories, here's a personal (not to say random) selection of memorable posts from January 2005 (sorry, too lazy to insert all the links): TatAD posted by SideDish Vote for the MoFi Shirt, MoFo's!!! posted by squidranch Curiosities of Literature by Isaac Disraeli. posted by beeswacky "People are to be tortured in laboratories at Oxford University... to determine whether belief in God is effective in relieving pain." posted by flashboy Life In 2000 AD posted by Nostrildamus First picture from Titan's surface. posted by rolypolyman What's better?

  • I demand one of you clever types write a script or some such to make all 2005 entries browsable at once. *clap!* *clap!* Hop to!
  • Although I'm honoured to have made Pleggy's short list, my sentimental instincts want to see the prize posthumously awarded to Nostrildamus.
  • traitor
  • Here ya go, petebest: all 2005 Mofi posts and then some, if any have been deleted. I didn't say it would be pretty.
  • holy crap!
  • Wow! Uh . . thanks, fractalaid! Where . . where should I start? 2005 is like a bawks uf chawk-lits.
  • Chaw-gluts!
  • I nominate this one - not evil banninated self-linker gerryduffet, obviously, but bernockle, for his genius invention of Rock-chick football. C'mon people, get with the voting!
  • Mmh... this best-of-the-year-award thing is harder than it looks. By my count, PandaCam gets it. Where should I send the Scarlet One?
  • this best-of-the-year-award thing is harder than it looks Especially cause the wiki went down, with all threads listed neat thereon. I also vote for bernockle for best derail: rockchickball. And I vote mct for funniest comment - Radar.
  • send the scarlet monkey to the Duke of Squeee! He'll have a great time devouring its fiberfill brainz!
  • To round things off you may like to know what became of the Scarlet Monkey. Rather than equipping him with a helmet and submachine gun (as I had naturally expected), Kitfisto insisted that he use his powers for good, not evil. Scarlet went off, accordingly, to lend his assistance to a disabled children's toy library in Southwark.
  • Yay! Monkey + toy + liberry = trifecta perfecta!
  • Proof of what I've long suspected: despite armalite-toting Miffys and stormtrooper Kittys that artist up north is a soft lad at heart
  • Admittedly, it would have been better with a banana on her chest.
  • To signify her bananishment from the community.
  • *sniffle*
  • BANANINATE!
