Due to the power outage back in 2003, CD.com was forced to use primative ways…
“Even the Teams!!”
“did she really just upload another whoami pic???”
“Wait a minute guys, how do i see my rep?!?!!?!?!?” :ahh:
“The forums crashed”
“What happened?”
“Oh, some kid hit it with a floppy.”
“Rumor has it that EddieMcD will win this caption contest.”
Archaologists, working in a new dig outside old Detroit, have unearthed evidence of a primitive communications method from the pre-electronic age. This system, which apparently included early attempts at mass communications, used archaic tools known as “pen-and-paper” and some ancient, unknown skill called “handwriting.”
And just to go after that challege…
‘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.”’
I had problems thinking of something…hmm…
The ChiefDelphi personals section backfired when the Cool Squad took out a hit on every JVN.
Does that even make sense? lol
After an unsuccessful career as “posterboardmaster”, Brandon Martus decided to buy a computer and try something else.
… 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.
i came up with a really good one, but dave lavery posted it first :ahh:
anyway, here is my entry:
“After becoming a monk, taking his vows of silence, and rejecting all technology, Brandon Martus still yerned to run his own message boards.”
I don’t wanna know who took THOSE pictures…
“Milestones in FIRST History, July 2001. Fair-haired Canadian and noted CD addict Karthik Kanagasabapathy, in desperate need of a girlfriend, posted his pic here on this ChiefDelphi message board, accidentally mistaking it for a find-a-date service. And while Karthik struck out with the ladies, this was the first time Karthik ever posted on ChiefDelphi. The rest, they say, is history.”
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.
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.)”
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…

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

Tom Schindler
Michelle 236
Brandon Martus

DCA Fan
Gary Dillard
greencactus3
Jay H 237

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!
