You might not be an AP if you didn't try to sneak in on last entry.



Lol!

(Buzzer) (DQ) But nice try!

Preliminary stats:

I have pulled out all the actual entries, of which there are 158 by my count. about a dozen of those were DQ'd for some reason (not a one-liner, or one-liner with a verbal tag; rule violation, ineligible receiver). There are 59 unique posters with at least 1 entry, -1 ineligible receiver (Face). Very impressed with the number of folks who gave it a shot! Thanks!

We need a day or so to confer. Top whatever number will be announced, probably based on a scoring cutoff. I'm guessing top 5, might be more, depends on where the scores fall or break.

If there is a tie-breaker needed, I will have us rank the top tier individually (no duplicate scores). If there's still a tie, I will do a closest-to-the pin trivia question to be announced later.

Youuuuu might not be an AP if you fell asleep on the couch waiting for the last minute for a last entry ;-(

Was still thinking, but all I had:

If you're the suicide bomber that blows yourself up while getting dressed for work on the morning of your big day, well not AP.

Youuuuuu might not be playing fair and balanced if you throw out my entry cause I made it.

That posted in honor of 1BB.

Course it is fine to throw it out for being really bad ;-(

Happy tabulations!

Hey, are you 3 in cahoots trying to AP the contest and split the giant jackpot prize of $25 3 ways?

(I actually find that idea pretty funny as this place is full of people trying to get an edge.)

Who told?

You must admit it was fairly funny especially since most ideas had already been taken. It kinda made fun of AP's and took it from the casino and into everyday life.

Unfortunately the mods are voting and they want their cut to.

To all: Babs informed me she had promised a decision on a winner by tomorrow the 20th and asked that I get my votes in by then, but I just can't do it. That's all on me, just way too much on my plate these last few days and I wasn't paying attention to the deadlines given.

I have told Babs I would bang it out tomorrow, and I plan to do just that. Due to my delay, her promise may be backed up a day. I just wanted to advise everyone because I suspect some would be asking.

The rumors that I have already spent the winnings have been greatly exaggerated.

It'll be interesting to see how different people rate some of these; Mission, Face, and I are 3 very dissimilar people IRL.



This is true, and is apparent now that I have rated and viewed your rating in comparison (I looked after I rated as asked, to preserve integrity and decrease influence). I do have to say though, for all our differences, the childish streak in us is strong XD

I'm interested to see the results. In viewing only our two ratings, I can think of just one out of the 100+ that we were in lock step agreement about. I'm still giggling. Had the entry been posted the way you (BBB) suggested via PM, said poster could /drop mic and this contest would be over =)

Never heard of it, even now. A new name for the Clown-Mobile of Vegas? Have you had a ride in it? This is hilarious. What a difference a lack of comma makes. You must be a second or third -generation AP. Vicious cycle.

Ever wonder how a gang of biker guys all look like brothers? And they seem to understand each other's weirdly perverted lack of humor? Cutesy. With each younger generation thinking that they were the first to crap on their kids too.

I've no problem sharing my votes. The others are up to them. Of course, I'm gonna catch hell for my ratings of "1", as it's more likely I just didn't understand it, as opposed to it not being humorous, relevant, etc. But whatever, I'll put it out there.

I just got Babs my stuff around 2p EST today. It is certainly going to take her more than an hour to tabulate (at least, it would me, it took me an hour just to vote =p), and I think she's typically a late arrival here. I can't speak for her, but I wouldn't expect the results today due to my previous delay.

I've been called many things. "Slug" is a first. I don't even know how to apply it.

It seems you're tiring of convoluted snipes from the shadows. Don't fall apart now. If you're done with sniping, at least go out in a thermonuclear explosion of opinion. No one remembers those who do things half cocked.

Now, on to the results!

Tied for 12-15th place @ 5.666667:

If you think of penetration as something that is sought out by bachelors on weekend excursions before you think of blackjack...(you might not be an AP!)...... Minty

If you have to pull down your zipper to count to 21....(you might not be an AP!)...AyeCarumba

If you think all the employees know where the best machines are.....(you might not be an AP!)...Axel

If your idea of "hitting a progressive" is wacking "Flo" with her "Name Your Price Tool".....(you might not be an AP!)..ayecarumba

Tied for 7-11th place @ 6.000000

(If you)play 6 to 5 blackjack because both numbers are bigger than 3 to 2.....(you might not be an AP!)..muleyvoice

If you act as the casino in a home BJ game, and use 4 decks.....of Pinochle cards.....(you might not be an AP!).RaleighCraps

If you feel counting an 8 deck shoe is too hard due to the 396 cards.....(you might not be an AP!)..RaleighCraps

If you think your profit/loss statement proves that the math "doesn't work".....(you might not be an AP!)....Dalex

If you think the dice going out of the tub and the shooter not requesting 'SAME DICE' is a curse to 7 out.....(you might not be an AP!)....Romes

Tied for 5-6th place @ 6.333333

If eating 100 mcnuggets in an hour for the Wiz's cash is your best play!.....(you might not be an AP!).....MidwestAP

If you think Beyond Counting is the first algebra book a 6th grader receives.....(you might not be an AP!).....Romes

Tied for 3-4th place @ 6.666667

If you gave the hospital your real name.....(you might not be an AP!).....djatc

If you think "EV" is the night before a holiday, and SD is something you get from a hooker inside a casino.....(you might not be an AP!).. Romes

In 2nd place @7.333333

If you think Stanford Wong is an Ivy League porn flick......(you might not be an AP!)..Scottimus

And, in 1st place @ 7.666667

If the limo driver radios in after picking you up, "Shamu is in the tank".....(you might not be an AP!)....Ayecarumba

Honorable mentions:

If the casino sends a limousine around to pick you up.....og (this got 5.333333, but I think it deserves credit as it appeared before Aye's winning entry added the extra whale twist)

If you feel an 8 deck shoe game is better than single deck, because you have 32 shots at BJ, instead of just 4.....RaleighCraps (disqualified because RC followed himself directly, but I thought this would have made the list above for sure; just a perfect entry)

If you think it means getting away with a roll of your buddies T-paper after dropping a deuce at his house.....rainman (disqualified because rainman followed himself, but funny enough to make the HM list)

The line Face referred to that I re-wrote was (FWIW): If your idea of "hitting a progressive" is whacking "Flo" with your "Name Your Price" Tool.....(you might not be an AP!)..ayecarumba

Thanks again to everybody who played! I'll be sending Aye $25 by PayPal as soon as I have his email address (please send via PM).

Wow, thanks folks! I am genuinely shocked. It was fun. Reminds me of the "Top 10" contest that the Late Show with David Letterman used to run on their website.

Please hang on to the money for now BBB. I have a feeling I may be asking you to forward it somewhere else when the the NFL season is over...

Thank you for generously putting up the prize!

Yeah, it's a cultural reference. Not too many SeaWorld Michigans. But if you make the instant connection between "Shamu" and "Whale" and a high roller valuable enough to send a limo to get him, with a little Secret-Service type nickname thrown in....it's hysterical.

BBB and I have come to an agreement regarding the prize, and I consider the payment of her prize offer completely settled. Again, a big thank you for her generosity and time, and thanks to the the other Admins for giving their time, energy, and $$ to make the board a fun place to be.

looked it up and it's a whale. Then I had to
find out why he would be in a tank. So
for me it fell a little flat.

You had to be the only person on the forum that didn't know who that was.

It's oftentimes used to make fun of fat girls.

I have suggested he is Kerkebet--looking for a clean slate. Several similarities.

i don't think so. Do you want to go DoubleOrNothing?

Trivia time!

What do "hysterical" and a womans "uterus" have in common?



Well, without googling it, the root of hysteria is Greek or Latin (not sure which) relating to female-based emotion or something like that, being over the top because of hormonal influences, with the reference going back a couple thousand years. A hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus and/or ovaries.

Was that what you were asking? Or was that a lead-in to a joke?

And, since we're on the subject, why do they call it an orchidectomy? It's not like men have flowers...

I was thinking that as well. I just forgot his name. Who really knows, but one thing they have in common , they take jabs at Mike and they don't like AP's.

I suspect it's someone who attempted and failed at AP miserably.

Orchiectomy (edit: I see that there is the spelling with the 'd' also. Odd that there would be different spellings.)

I can't believe my entry didn't win and didn't even make the best of list. "You might not be an AP if you spend $400 to get the $400 progressive." That was Gold! *Sulks like a petulant child* :(Congratulations to Aye Carumba, however! :)
