Here's the game, kids!
In this contest, the funniest person wins. If you haven't been funny up to this point, well here's your chance because I'm erasing everybody's record!
All judging will be based solely on ONE (1) PM to me. This PM can contain a picture, a link to something funny, a joke you type up, a lolcat, a burn on somebody, whatever, anything. The PM I deem funniest after exactly one week from this posting will be the winner.
Submitting more than one PM to me during the duration of the contest will disqualify you. Lizard Dude retains sole right to judge humor. Remember, you are trying to make me laugh. Also remember that you have a week, so you might not want to rush your one chance at submission.
Winner shall receive any videogame of their choice, max price $60. If you're one of those people who "don't want to win the prize", please enter anyway and then donate the prize to the person of your choice! Lizard Dude reserves the right to withhold any prize if deemed neccessary.
For those about to be funny, I salute you.

I sent mine. I can safely predict that I was so funny, LD will get me a $120 game.
-
I sent mine.
-
Me too.
-
Quick, everyone, send in LOLcats! LSD loves those.
-
LSD??
-
I'm waiting a week before I send mine.
-
LSD??
Liquid Sugar Dude.
-
LSD??
Lysergic Acid Diethylamide! Oh man, that made my day. Calling Lizard Dude a drug. Classic.
EDIT: Would sending multiple pictures (lets say lolcats) be...acceptable?
-
sended mine
-
I decided to send mine today instead of waiting because I'll probably forget.
-
Sent. ...That's all I have to say.
-
EDIT: Would sending multiple pictures (lets say lolcats) be...acceptable?
whatever, anything
-
I sent mine yesterday. I said I'd wait a week, but I changed my mind.
Hey LD, if two people send in the same joke/link/whatever by chance, what happens?
-
Hey, I sent one in. If it's anonymous, it's from me because I forgot to label the part saying "Bcc."
-
Kimimaru you made my day.
-
Winner announced tonight sometime after midnight. A lot of people haven't entered. If you're waiting, clock's ticking!
-
Would a picture of me with a paper giving you a greeting be an eligible entry? Because if that's the case, I've got something...

Hey Lizard Dude, did you send the winner a PM, or are you gonna announce it here?
-
Well I guess I didn't win, I didn't recieve a PM from Lizard Dude. Did anyone else get one?
-
He's probably still going through the entries. I bet over half the forum PM'd him after he said If you're waiting, clock's ticking!
I'd probably lose that bet, but he'll get back ot us when he's done.
-
"Announce" means "tell everybody," right?
-
Yes, sir, it does! Unfortunately after I posted that, I got lazy and didn't return to the internet until now. Ah well, what's a contest winner announcement without some suspense?
I'm not sure how many people realize this or how hard it is to discern through online communication only, but my favorite type of humor by far is when people come up with something funny related to the current situation. Of course there are exceptions and the definition of "current situation" can be quite stretchable, but I'm really not so much a fan of canned jokes à la lolcats and random flash vids. If you tell me a traditional canned joke in RL, you're likely to be met with either a straight face or polite laughter (depending on who you are) but even the dumbest pun related to the situation will likely have me guffawing whole-heartedly.
There was really only one person (I think) who created something new for this contest. It related to our forums personally and in the context of what I just explained about my sense of humor, it should come as no surprise to learn that this was the only entry that made me L.O.L. (and how!). Everyone else just linked something generic from the intertubes. Some were fairly amusing, some (yes, more than one) were horrific five-minute long YouTube vids that I had to watch the whole entire thing for the sake of the contest in case something extremely funny happened at some point, and some were misses that left me scratching my head. But if you entered at all, still consider yourself better than the people who didn't try. Boo on you losers!
Without further ado, the winner is BIRD PERSON
I was getting kind of down about spending $60 only to earn a slog through the comedy wastelands of the internet when this gem (http://wheresdezzer.googlepages.com/marioparty8.html) showed up in my inbox. It made me experience the emotion of happiness, for I laughed, and not just in my mind, but aloud, using my vocal cords to release the sound and natural effect of laughter. That hilarious classic gif of the best Mario Party minigame ever! With our heads!! And thrown into a nostalgic YTMND format with that catchy tune!!! That's what got me to instantly laugh. But then I started to notice the details. TEM's jiggling head. The perfect fit of Chupperson's hair. How I'm standing and clearly playing to win. The expressions on all the faces if you just stare at them. The correlation with the original expressions and hair.
Totally worth sixty bucks or less. For this outstanding contribution to Fungi Forum humorous creations, I commend you Bird Person.
I might do a post mortem later and comment on a few of the other entries.

Mine.

Bird Person linked it in #tmk a while back, and I enjoyed it too. I am curious as to what the other entries were. (I didn't enter anything.)
-
Yessss!
Everyone should post their entries (assuming they want to show them). I want to know what people sent too.
I just now said this in #tmk, but I'll post it here: Thanks to LD, TEM, Chup for their funny-lookin' facial expressions and SolidShroom for showing me his entry, sparking my creativity. Sorry LD isn't giving you guys presents, too.
Now, how long do I have to decide on what I want as my prize, and do two games that total $60 or less count?
-
From an Anonymous Source, of course.

The more I watch BirdPerson's YTMND-type thing, the harder I laugh. The first time I opened it, my roommate was in the room, so I abruptly saved it for later when the first chord of the altered Luigi's Theme erupted from my speakers.
-
Yeah, I thought I would die laughing the first time I saw that. It's just probably the funniest thing I've ever seen from a TMK member. Even funnier than the things from LD or TEM. It's a shame I can not unsee it just so I can have the joy of seeing it again.
-
I just linked a bunch of stuff from Cyanide and Happyness (http://www.explosm.net).
-
I sent this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cq-QhEPoZ8). Aheh. Ahehehe. *sigh*

This may very well be true, but I don't know if you've seen all my stuff. Most of my best work is half a decade old at this point. I do sometimes imagine Bird Person as a replacement me, creationist humor-wise and name format-wise.
Now, how long do I have to decide on what I want as my prize, and do two games that total $60 or less count?
As long as you want (heck, you could wait for upcoming games - I don't care) and sure.
(I didn't enter anything.)
Booooooooooooo!!
-
That's what I wanted to read. Okay, I thought it through and decided this was a great opportunity to get Metroid Prime and Echoes (both are Player's Choice) and Viewtiful Joe. Yes, I'm using this chance to try some new games.
-
What happened to Metal Gear Solid?
Edit: Oh, I see you flipped a coin. Meh. I'd still suggest not getting Metroid Prime but whatever.
-
He isn't getting MPH.
