... and tonight, on "America's Most Wanted FIRSTers", we focus on 32 FIRSTers who were active in 1999. If you know the whereabouts of these formerly dedicated mentors and students, please call 1-888-888-4747.

[Mike Ciance]

I don't wanna know who took THOSE pictures...

[greencactus3]

wow this one is hard...
well my entry for this time is....

the people on the left are shining... the ones on the right are kinda dull....there are 13.33333333333333333333% more dull people on ChiefDelphi.com than shiny ones.

[Vivelation]

aaagh this one's tough... and I think I'm a bit late but oh well.

"A True Sign of the Apocalypse (We mean it this time.)"

[Billfred]

Alright, so I firmly expected to be in my room at the deadline to enforce the law. But since VOMIT (Variations On Most Interesting Talents) called me away, I'll allow it. This time.

Now, here comes the really hard part...picking a winner! I actually had to whip out the rulebook and judge on that. (For anyone who's interested, it's originality, or in the absence of that, dry humor.)

First place: Mike Ciance...

"After becoming a monk, taking his vows of silence, and rejecting all technology, Brandon Martus still yerned to run his own message boards."

Second place: Elgin Clock...

"U.S. National - AP
Fri July 13, 2001 - 05:21 PM
Pontiac, MI USA - The ongoing feud to rename the "Rumor Mill" to the "Rumor Lathe" was put aside this weekend by parties representing both sides of the debate when ChiefDelphi.com crashed and the back-up system had to be implemented."

Honorable mentions, which I'll force you to scroll for since there's quite a few of them...

Amanda Morrison
RogerR
Tom Schindler
Michelle 236
Brandon Martus
Jessica Boucher
EddieMcD (alright, you weren't too far off)
DCA Fan
Gary Dillard
greencactus3
Jay H 237
T. Hoffman

And I was about to avoid this, but I decided to bring back the "oooo, buuuuuuuurn" award. This was about as challenging as picking the winner, as there were quite a few good burns contained in these entries. But I wound up settling on Dave's entry...

'And at the recent CD Webhug, 32 pictures of someone named "JVN" suddenly appeared under the "Who Are You?" section of the bulletin board. Normally this would not be noteworthy, but they were all sequential shots of an unconscious Mr. V-Neun being Saran-wrapped by one "Amanda Morrison."'

Jay would've gotten the award, but c'mon...you know that deep inside Dave likes that photoshopping. (How else would the "That's Pimp" button get on the big screen?)

so what else...oh yeah! scores!

Wow, I'm so happy...I'm as funny as such FIRST dignitaries as JVN, Amanda Morrison, etc. Yay!

Sorry, it wouldn't work - at least not until you stopped driving Chevys. We're a "Ford family."

-dave

[Billfred]

FORD?! AUGH!

(Alright, so there are a few Fords I wouldn't mind driving. Like the GT. Or the '05 Mustang. Or the Escape Hybrid. But this is still the same company that brought us the Taurus.)

aand the escort. ugh..... dont even mention the probe.... SUCH poor styling...

[dlavery]

... and for you self-immolation fans, there was always the Pinto.

Look, I know all the stories, and all the jokes, and all the different things that "FORD" can stand for. Doesn't matter. I drive a '97 Mustang GT convertable. Before that it was a '85 Mustang GT 5.0 liter 5-speed T-top. Before that it was a '73 Mustang with a 351 Cleveland. And before that I drove a '68 GT Mustang Shelby Cobra KR500. What can I say - I like 'em!

And when I can save up $160,000 by selling my house and throwing my family out on the street, I will look seriously at the Ford GT - it is just plain kick-a$$!
