OK, I admit it. I love snark. I love a well-crafted one, and I love to try my hand at it. Perhaps too often, I will concede. You definitely don't want to be considered "too snarky". But I can't help it. It's just too much fun. When I see a headline that is just screaming out for snark, I jump on the thread, and all too often see that another Freeper has beaten me to my snark.
Did you know that the plural of snark is snark. As in "I posted 5 snark today". Honestly.
While I play at snark, I am an amateur next to some of the practitioners on this august site. I have seen many fine ones over the years, masters at the art. There was a historically classic one just the other day.
The purpose of this post is to determine the greatest, most magnificent snarker on all of FR, and to crown him or her with as the "King of Snark" (or "Queen of Snark", as the case may be. This is FR, so there will be no category for "otherly gendered"). That person will be not gain a throne, throw people in the dungeon, earn a lifetime of unearned wealth or otherwise act like royalty, but they shall be entitled to a modicum of respect and shall be exempt from liability for the damage they cause to monitors and keyboards. I also propose that the winner is given a Death To Viking Kitties card, which they may use only one time and so must use it wisely. That card will allow the bearer to say or do anything just the one time, and even if the Viking Kitties start warming up, and waving their wands and the lightning is flashing, the King (or Queen) may smite those kitties and escape unharmed and no worse for wear. Just the once, though.
Joe ProBono is way up there, in my book. His wit knows no bounds. However, in my opinion, the crown goes to his muse and sometime sidekick Revolting Cat!, whose snark combined with timely and obscure photos render his snark above all other snark.
What say you?
Parma has a lot to do with it.
The only reason nobody has chosen me is that my snark is so subtle and understated that it’s detectable only by the highest and most perceptive intellects.
Noooo, it’s a much admired trait in my opinion!
I have no idea what you are talking about, but I will add you to the list.
The candidates are JoeProBono, Revolting Cat!, Laz, Pissant, Humblegunner, slings and arrows, null and void, GeronL, MagUSNRET, and Tax-chick. Voting is still ongoing for the coveted crown.
A snarky denial of snarkishness. Clever....
Is it:
Male = Snark or Female = Snarkette? :)
BTW, I am convinced that only INTELLIGENT Freepers are capable of truely blue-ribbon, bust-a-gut and irreproachable snark!!
Low IQ people can’t snark and shouldn’t try.
All worthy candidates
I vote Humblegunner; the focused snark is wonderful to behold. Takes a stale old problem and beats it senseless in dozen’s of fresh ways.
"JUST the place for a Snark!" the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.
"Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true."
From "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll
