The King/Queen of Snark is..........
Mindless ramblings ^ | 08/06/2013 | Defiant

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?

Wow! My brother had that kit when I was a kid, and I remember that box very well. I thought it was such a cool picture I kept the box around for years!

BTW, here's something I like to post every so often: Project Pluto - The Flying Crowbar

Motown moved to L.A. in 1972, it wasn’t around to save Detroit. It’s now in NYC.

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.

I fear the losers may wind up in a snit.

Few people realize that “SNARK” is the sound made by a dog with a cleft lip. (nyuk nyuk nyuk)

I am enjoying the thread and appreciate the nomination from you and smokingfrog. Generally speaking, the finest snarks are shared with the AI thread, despite all the criticism one gets for choosing that thread over one of the inumerable Hate Palin or Hate ROmney threads of the recent past/s ;-)
I share the AI thread with the true Varsity Squad of snarkers!
