I thought we were going to have holidays every Tuesday from now on. We did it two weeks ago, then again last week, and suddenly today everyone's acting like it's a regular day. Businesses are open as usual and most employed people are going to work... but at least it looks like a lot of federal employees are sticking with the plan and taking the day off. I just have to say, I'm pretty disappointed in the rest of you. 

XOXO,

Wednesday, February 27: Las Vegas Fark and 50th Birthday Party


Fark Weird News Quiz Results (brought to you by ox45tallboy)      

We had yet another fun time with the quiz this week, although many people were still finishing up holiday stuff and playing with their new toys Santa Claus brought them. No one made the 1000 club, though, so I'll take advantage and watch the playoffs on the big screen there all by my lonesome. 

catmander came out on top with 972, followed by FormerJanitor in second with 910 and catusr in third with 876. Edgewood Dirk made fourth with 840, and DemonicGerbil finishes out the top five with a respectable 835. Let's see if it's a bit easier this week.

The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was over where the Opal Tower was located. The 38-story tower began suffering significant stresses and cracks in the foundation, walls, and windows soon after it was opened, and officials have evacuated some 3000 people from the surrounding buildings, all of whom had to make other plans for Christmas with no idea if they'll ever be able to return home. Only 21% of quiztakers knew that buildings are among the Things Trying To Kill You in Australia. Perhaps they should have oriented the building right-side up like we do on this side of the world where we walk on our feet instead of our heads.

The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was about the oldest continuously-operating chain restaurant in the United States. 79% of quiztakers knew that after it's founding in 1919, A&W outlasted the others and more than 1100 are now in operation all over the world. (Whataburger and their Texas-sized burgers was founded in 1950, Biscuitville in 1975.) I'm old enough to have eaten at one of the "classic" A&W locations in the 1980's, which consisted of a small shack in the middle of a gravel parking lot, where you parked haphazardly and walked up to the window to place your order. Since then, they've modernized and some even have a Sonic-style setup complete with carhops. Fun fact: A&W root beer was not available in bottles at retail until 1971, so the restaurants were the only place you could get it - and those awesome root beer floats.

The hardest question on the Easy Quiz was about the title of the upcoming Mr. Rogers biopic starring America's favorite Nice Guy, Tom Hanks. Only 35% of quiztakers knew that the producers has selected "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" as the title. I'm on the side of the 65% who think they should have consulted your quizmaster, because I, too, thought "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" was a better choice. Growing up, I always wondered why he put on a cardigan when he came home, even in the summer. Was it really that cold where he lived? Did he know Santa Claus?

The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was over what price was rising to $0.55 on January 27. 91% of quiztakers would be stocking up on Forever stamps if anyone still used the USPS for anything other than sale papers and crap from ebay, since it is the cost of a first-class postage stamp that is rising. I did check, and McDonald's is not in the habit of announcing publicly any price increases, especially of add-ons like cheese, since those prices are set locally by the franchisee. 

Congratulations to the winners, and if you missed last week's quiz, you can check it out here, We'll be doing the same thing again later today, and I'll have a link in thread when it goes up, as well as Fark's Twitter feed (and my own).

We're living in the future now, and I have to tell you, I don't wear nearly as many silver fabrics as I thought I would. I'm disappointed that we don't have more bionic body parts, too. And while I know some robots, they're not the kind that will run your errands for you and then help you take over the world. I also figured that dogs would be able to talk by now, and we'd have at least one species of space alien living here because their ship crashed, and we'd resent them a little because they'd be better at everything than we are, but we'd outnumber them, so we'd kind of be dicks to them. 

XOXO,
DisseminationMonkey

Wednesday, February 27: Las Vegas Fark and 50th Birthday Party


Fark Weird News Quiz Results (brought to you by ox45tallboy)      

Yet another fun time with the quiz last week, but sadly the 1000 club remained off limits. Good thing, too - last week's crowd left a mess. This week, bobobolinskii comes out on top with 996, followed by bud jones in second with 922 and fifthofzen in third with 910. dionysusaur brings up fourth with 907, and foo monkey finishes out the top 5 right behind with 906.

The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was over which man known for style and good taste thought it would be a great idea to drive a beige 1985 Chrysler Town & Country station wagon, complete with wood-grained panels - the ultimate grocery-getter, as my redneck uncle put it. Only 37% of quiztakers knew that it was old blue-eyes himself - Frank Sinatra actually drove this bad boy around town, seemingly in order to blend in with the crowd. I mean, who's going to believe a founding member of the Rat Pack would be caught dead in that thing? 

The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was over what Ninja Turtle weapon you could now own in New York. 91% of quiztakers knew that a federal judge had decided that New York's ban on nunchucks was unconstitutional, and people were free to whack themselves in the head with sticks tied with rope instead of just sticks.

The hardest question on the Easy Quiz this week was about Christmas traditions in the Czech Republic. Only 16% of quiztakers knew of the Czech tradition of buying a carp the week before Christmas, then naming it and playing with it like a pet while it's swimming around the family bathtub (meaning no one takes a shower). On Christmas Eve night, Baby Jesus (who brings the presents according to their tradition) takes the fish and replaces it with a wonderful dinner of fish fillets. On the plus side, everyone gets to take a shower again, so that's a great reason for the whole family to look forward to Christmas morning.

The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was over what movie a Missouri man convicted of poaching was sentenced to watch at least once a month during the term of his incarceration. 94% of quiztakers knew that it was the Disney classic "Bambi." Personally, I think that it will likely just make him hungry for rabbit, but that's just me. I thought Thumper was annoying.

We had a Special Edition Year In Review quiz this week, and if we learned anything, it's that we really didn't learn anything last year. Our top scorer was Denjiro with 841, followed by A Gentile in Boca with 746 in second and KarmicDisaster with 716 in third. The_Philosopher_King made fourth with 707, and Hassan Ben Sobr clears the top five with 650. 

Congratulations once again to the winners. If you missed the quiz last week, you can catch up here. You can also find the Year in Review Quiz here.

Wednesday, February 27: Las Vegas Fark and 50th Birthday Party


Fark Weird News Quiz Results (brought to you by ox45tallboy)      

We had another fun time with the quiz this week. We had a couple of 11/11s, but no one made the 1000 club. FormerJanitor takes the top spot with 995, followed by Whatta Wombat with 956 in second, bradley547 and CrazyCurt tied for third with 889, followed closely by Hooferatheart with 887 in fourth. loupat rounds out the top 5 with 879.

The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was where British PM Teresa May was inadvertently locked up on her way to see Angela Merkel. Only 37% of quiztakers knew that somehow she was unable to get out of the back seat of her car. Maybe she should have had Meghan Markle around to help her out; as she seems to enjoy operating car doors regardless of royal protocol.

The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was about the designation "46P/Wirtanen." 78% of quiztakers were astronomically inclined enough to know this was the designation given to a comet that's on its closest approach to earth, and visible to the naked eye - assuming you're in the tiny fraction of the U.S. that's not covered in clouds at the moment. No word on any weird cults looking to be carried away by this one.

The hardest question on the Easy Quiz was over who won the Major League Soccer championship this year. Only 52% of quiztakers knew that Atlanta United was the newest champion. At least they didn't blow a ridiculous lead in the second half for a change.

The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was over the most-streamed song released in the 20th century. 85% knew that thanks to interest in the new movie, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" was now the most streamed. If you had told me ten years ago that the guy who played Ahkmenrah in "Night at the Museum" would do a credible Freddie Mercury, I wouldn't have believed it. Then again, Dags from "National Lampoon's Senior Trip" is now an action hero, so go figure.

We also ran a special edition Christmas Quiz yesterday. We had five people make the 1000 club with their amazing Christmas knowledge. clouddancer comes out on top with 1058, followed by kevinatilusa with 1046 in second and ThunderChild right behind in third with 1040. Yamaneko2 makes fourth with 1016, and rick42 squeezes behind the velvet rope in fifth with 1003. The top 3 winners of the Christmas Quiz will all receive a free month of TotalFark.

Congratulations to the winners. If you missed last week's quiz, you can catch up here, or take the Christmas Quiz here. We'll be doing it all again this week!

2018 is winding down and it's been a weird year, hasn't it? I mean, even aside from all the political stuff (because I do NOT wanna go there), a lot of crazy shiat has gone down this year. For example, the whole "Tide Pod Challenge" phenomenon happened in 2018. Doesn't it seem like that was much longer ago? But no, it was a 2018 thing. I mean, yeah, it's possible that a couple of kids with a Tide Pod and a YouTube account decided to take a little nibble and post the video, but even if that happened once or twice in 2017, 2018 was really the Tide Pod Challenge's time to shine. 

You know what else happened in 2018? That false missile alert got sent out to everyone in Hawaii and scared the Spam out of all of them. That was insane! And let me tell you, if I'd have been there, I probably would've tried to run across the ocean to the mainland. 

What else did 2018 have for us? There was the return of a bunch of '90s TV shows, for some reason. And we learned what incels are, which... well, thanks for the warning, I guess? Oh, that Thai soccer team got stuck in that cave for a while and then they got rescued, and somehow Elon Musk ended up all butthurt over the fact that one of the actual rescuers didn't appreciate Musk's backseat rescuing. Okay, Elon, that didn't look petty and weird at all. And we also had that Yanny/Laurel thing that people were all hot about for a couple of weeks. So yeah, there's been a lot of strange stuff in 2018, and the year is not quite over yet. 

XOXO,

Oooooh boy we had a hard one this week. I think everyone was exhausted from Christmas shopping and trying to get ahead enough on work to take the holiday break off. Our top scorer this week was Ariesfish with 899, followed by TheMothership in second with 880 and bradley547 in third with 820. EBens made fourth with 818, and johnnieconnie takes fifth with 811. We'll try and make it a little easier next time.

The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was over which Star Trek alumnus inspired actor Ken Berry to get into acting. Interestingly, all three choices served in the military. Deforest Kelley served in the Army Air Force in the First Motion Picture Unit during WWII, working on propaganda and training films. James Doohan was a highly decorated lieutenant who actually took six rounds in the D-Day invasion, losing a finger and almost losing his life, with a bullet to the chest stopped by a silver cigarette case he was carrying. However, he served in the Royal Canadian Artillery rather than the US Army, himself being a Canuck (his service record is extremely impressive). Only 25% of quiztakers knew that it was Leonard Nimoy who, as a sergeant in the US Army Special Services, mentored a young Ken Berry as part of his production of stage shows. I can only imagine what those were like, and for the soldiers who used to see him as an emcee seeing him later as Spock.

The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was over Florida Man's latest escapades in being an ass to kids at Cape Coral's Festival of Lights. 80% of Quiztakers knew that it was Santa Claus he was ranting about as not being real. Well, that's okay, as most kids don't believe in Florida Man, either.

The hardest question on the Easy Quiz was over which actor had just joined the cast of the upcoming Jon Favreau-helmed Star Wars series "The Mandalorian." While both Nick Nolte and Bill Hader had smaller parts in "Tropic Thunder," Nick Nolte is the one who has joined on to "The Mandalorian." Besides, I can only imagine Bill Hader in a Star Wars series voicing some CGI character with a floppy head. "gebddf forcepushdababy." (Yes, he's also the voice of Stan's Canadian brother Ike on South Park.) 

The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was over the main grievance of the "yellow vest" protesters in Paris. 91% of quiztakers knew that it was a proposed tax on fuel that had people the most upset. President Macron has since relented and suspended the fuel tax for now, possibly because it's difficult to say negative things about citizens with such a commitment to safety in their protests, what with the high-vis yellow vests and all. That's my theory, anyhow. They chose the vests because all drivers in France are required to carry them in case of emergency, so they have lots of them. Perhaps American protesters should consider orange hunting vests, since we seem to have so many.

Congratulations to the winners, and we'll be doing it all again this week. If you missed the quiz, you can check it out here. Keep an eye on Fark's Twitter feed for a link to the new quiz.


Fark Headline of the Year Voting (brought to you by blythe)

Welcome to the ***Final Round*** of Headline of the Year voting!  For the past few weeks, TotalFarkers have been voting for their favorite headlines from all the weeks of Headline of the Week.  We shared those links on the main page and the tabs so everyone could see and enjoy all the fantastic candidates, but only TotalFarkers got to vote.  It does take some effort - someone pointed out it's like Academy award voting - even just counting TotalFarkers, lots of people are able to vote, but it takes time and effort to really dig in and read all the headlines, and decide which ones you really want to see in the final round.  We really love it though.  A huge Thank You to all our TotalFark voters!

For the final round we open up voting to the whole community! Now it's time for everyone to have your say on the headlines you love!    

We've taken the top-voted headlines from each month and tab, and combined them into a single final voting thread for each tab.  We'll break out a few winners from each tab from the top-voted headlines!

Consider each headline as carefully as you wish.  Some are puns, some are wordplay, some you need to click through to read the story or the Fark comments to figure out what the joke is (and these are often some of the best), sometimes the joke is in the symbols, sometimes its a sideways look at the story or the world.  Vote for any or all  We don't limit your voting, we really want to see what you laughed at and enjoyed.

We want to see which headlines *you* choose for Headlines of the Year!

Headline of the Year Voting - Final Round - MAIN

Headline of the Year Voting - Final Round - BUSINESS

Headline of the Year Voting - Final Round - ENTERTAINMENT

Headline of the Year Voting - Final Round - GEEK

Headline of the Year Voting - Final Round - SPORTS

Headline of the Year Voting - Final Round - DISCUSSION

Headline of the Year Voting - Final Round - POLITICS

A special congrats should go out to Fark Sysadmin Mike and his new wife Strawbury78, who got married this past Saturday.  They asked me to perform the ceremony, the first one I've done.  In order to make it official, I became an Ordained Minister with the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which seems appropriate.  As I mentioned in a previous newsletter, since it seems there have been over 1,000 Fark marriages over the years, I'm now in a position to actually perform them.  So let me know if you'd like me to do your wedding.  As far as I know, I can't perform other rites, but I'm willing to take a look if you have any suggestions.

Fark Weird News Quiz Results (brought to you by ox45tallboy)      

We had another fun time in the Quiz this week, featuring Florida Man and Florida Woman. Someone should definitely not get these two together. 

bud jones comes out on top with the keys to the 1000 club and the Executive Washroom, but he'll still have to clean it after that incident with the PolTab mods last week. His score of 1008 is number one this week, followed by Pinner with 995 and xxBirdMadGirlxx in third with 923. Bear151556 follows closely with 922, and leafslinger rounds out the top five with 907.

The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was over NASA's traditional good luck charm kept in Mission Control at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. If you watched the feed of the Mars Insight Lander, you might have caught a closeup or two of the jar of peanuts sitting on a desk. The tradition dates back to 1964 and the Ranger 7 mission, when Dick Wallace, the Mission Trajectory Engineer, passed around peanuts to help calm the nerves of the technicians. The previous 6 Ranger missions had failed, so the tension was extremely palpable, and he thought it might help take the edge off and keep people more relaxed and focused. As Wallace later said, "the rest is history." Only 24% of quiztakers caught this from the NASA feed or the article.

The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was over the continuing adventures of Florida Woman. 84% of quiztakers knew that she had pulled out a knife and threatened to "gut" a man while in line at Dollar General after he complained about her farting. I mean, what was he supposed to do? Savor the aroma? Complement her on her diet? Start a betting pool with the other people in line as to her choice of spices and side dishes? 

The hardest question on the Easy Quiz was over what unusual kind of milk was being produced by Amish and Mennonite farmers, who actually own the majority of these critters in the U.S. Only 40% of quiztakers knew that many Amish and Mennonites use camels as pack animals, especially in drier climates, and a businessman from Saudi Arabia was working with them to produce FDA-approved camel milk for retail sale. Don't expect to see it at Kroger anytime soon, though, as it's still prohibitively expensive - you can check out the Desert Farms website where you can order 6 pints (that's a total of 96 ounces, or 3/4 of a gallon) for a mere $120. But hey, free shipping!

The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was over which live-action Disney remake set records for most views by a movie trailer on the day of release. 83% of quiztakers knew that it was the upcoming remake of "The Lion King" that had people excited. I mean, it's all basically CGI, just better looking CGI, so I'm not sure if it's right to call it "live action." But hey, it's their cash grab. 

If you missed last week's quiz, you can catch up on it here.

Congrats again to the winners, and we'll be doing it all again this week. Keep on eye on Fark's Twitter feed for the link.


Fark Headline of the Year Voting (brought to you by blythe)

Headline of the Year voting continues!

All the headlines for all the months and all the tabs are now posted!  Even if you don't vote, go take a look - there are so many creative and funny headlines to enjoy!

We're extending the voting for a little longer - we'll keep the voting open until noon (Eastern) this Saturday.  We know there are a lot and we want everyone to have a chance to get through all the voting.    

We've compiled all the links to all the Fark Headline of the Year voting for a handy reference.  

This is the preliminary round - we start semifinals on the main site after preliminaries are over - this preliminary round is for TotalFark only!  

We've enjoyed reading them all so much that we wanted everyone to have the chance to see them - everyone gets to see them each week for Headline of the Week and it's great now to see them all compiled - so we're opening up the links so non-TotalFarkers can read but not vote.  Watch for a post today in each tab - all the Geek headlines in Geek, all the D'awww, etc.  That way those of you who hang out in a specific tab can enjoy your headlines first and can go look at the rest!  Of course you can always sign up for TotalFark if you see some headlines you just have to vote on! 

We're having tons of fun reading these headlines all over again.  Thank you to all our wonderful submitters and thank you to our TotalFark voters!  These are your last few days to days to get your votes in!

A message from Drew Curtis:  
________________________  

I've had a couple of folks write in asking if they can send me an Xmas present somehow.  The answer is sure! But I have a lot of stuff already, and I'm not really one of those people who needs stuff.  I'm the hardest person in the world to buy for. But do you know who really needs Xmas love? Fark's sysadmin Mike.  

Mike's been working on Fark since the beginning, and you may or may not know that he's been managing to have our entire tech stack, which incidentally has been run off of a rack of 8088 CPUs held together with toothpicks and crazy glue since all the way back in 1999.  Our 5 GB hard drives are still on tape. Our server rack is guarded by an Arduino rubber chicken*. Twice a week Mike, has to wake up in the middle of the night, drive to our server colo facility in downtown Lexington, KY, and bang on the server cases with a metal pipe in order to wake up the hamsters that run on the wheels that power Fark's database because those lazy rodent bastards think they need sleep or something.  On top of that, he's a functional alcoholic and booze ain't free. Neither are liver transplants, but I'm likely to get there before he does.

You may be asking yourself: what can I do to help Mike?  Good question, citizen. The answer is simple: Buy a TotalFark or BareFark subscription this Xmas season, for yourself or someone else.  Or me - you can buy me unlimited subscriptions. Not only will this revenue help us buy more hamsters for the Fark servers, but some of it will actually trickle down to Mike once I deduct Fark's monthly expenses for hookers and blow, and he will dutifully convert it to booze.  Which he will likely mix with coke, but it's still booze to him dammit.

Buy a TotalFark subscription today.  Do it for Mike. And the hookers.

*this is the only part of this paragraph that is actually true, other than Mike has worked for Fark since 1999 and booze ain't free. He may still yet beat me to a liver transplant

Fark Weird News Quiz Results (brought to you by ox45tallboy)      

We had a fun time once again with the Weird News Quiz. No one broke into the 1000 club, so luckily we won't have to clean it this week. You people always seem to trash the place. 

Denjiro comes out on top this week with 955, followed by 1974 Dodge Monaco (whom I assume must have the 440 4-barrel option) in second with 929. zerkalo made third with 916, followed closely by runwiz with 915, and bud jones finishes out the top five with 911. 

The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was over which Gift of the Magi held promise for arthritis treatment, according to researchers at the University of Alabama ( which is definitely where I think of when I think of healthy living research). Only 40% of quiztakers knew that it was the essential oil olibanum, otherwise known as frankincense, that the researchers were focusing on. It's essentially tree sap from the frankincense tree that grows around the Arabian peninsula and North Africa. Of course, with enough gold, I'm sure you could buy plenty of both frankincense and myrrh to cover your bases in case either one worked. I'm still a bit confused as to why, if those Magi guys from the East were so "wise", did they think that a kid wanted smelly oil for Christmas. Then again, since the stuff wasn't prevalent in the East at the time, it sounds more like a last minute gift they found at a quick stop on the way there.

The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was about David Narkewicz, the mayor of Northampton, MA, and why he was in the news. 88% of quiztakers knew that he was at the head of the line to become the first person to purchase legal recreational marijuana in the state. Although his office says the weed will be preserved for posterity, does anyone really believe that? That stuff does have a shelf life. Besides, who's going to know if you switch it out with some crappy ditch weed for the display?

The hardest question on the Easy Quiz was over where you can purchase the entire abandoned village of Lugo, Spain, assuming you're looking for that special something for the person who already has everything. Because who doesn't want an abandoned village in the Spanish countryside? Only 28% of quiztakers knew that it was available through Gwyneth Paltrow's "lifestyle" brand Goop. I mean, talk about the old "white elephant" gift. How much would it cost to keep that village from rotting into the ground? How much to pay people to live there? I guess if you shop for gifts at Goop, you probably have poor relationships with "friends" anyhow. I mean, who do you buy a vagina rock for? Your mom? Your crazy cat lady aunt? Your special lady? Is she going to think you're expecting her to use this in the bedroom? And how would that work,anyhow? Actually, don't answer that. Just... don't do your holiday shopping at Goop.

The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was over what sport you can be officially too drunk to play in Canada. 89% of quiztakers had heard about the Red Deer Classic in Alberta Canada, and how an entire curling team - including an Olymic gold medalist - were tossed and forced to forfeit their matches because they were being very impolite and un-Canadian in their match due to being completely plastered. In their defense, how drunk was the guy who came up with the idea of sliding rocks at a target and sweeping ice? 

Congratulations again to the winners. If you missed the quiz last week, you can catch up on it here. We'll be doing it all again this week, so watch the @fark Twitter feed (or mine) for the announcement.

And it was yet another fun ride on the Weird News Quiz bus, even though the train arrived empty at the 1000 club station. Ariesfish got 11/11 but was stuck behind the velvet rope with only 998, followed by bud jones with 970 and foo monkey with 945. TheMothership made fourth with 924, and Edgewood Dirk completes the top 5 with 920. 

The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was over where Shaquille O'Neal was going to open his newest "Big Chicken" concept restaurant. Only 38% of quiztakers knew that it would be on the Carnival cruise ship Radiance. I'm trying to make a joke about this, but I keep falling flat when I realize just how many people have vacationed on Carnival (okay, so I have as well). 

The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was over what cartoon character that Pasco County. Florida deputies had pulled over. 69% of quiztakers knew that they had pulled over some guy dressed as Fred Flinstone, complete with a black wig and spotted tunic in a Smart Car with tied-on accoutrements resembling Fred's Footmobile. No word on if that actually happens.

The hardest question on the Easy Quiz was over where you could find the root kilogram that every other kilogram was based on. Only 34% of quiztakers knew that the O.G. kilogram was based on a mass located in Paris, France. You know what they call a kilogram in Paris? A kilogram.

The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was based on which "Jurassic Park" actor was denied another ten minutes of fame by releasing a poorly received jazz album. 81% of quiztakers knew that it was Jeff Goldblum who didn't know that just because you could, doesn't mean that you should..


This week's quiz is coming today, so look for the link in the comments.


Fark Headlines of the Year Voting (brought to you by blythe)

It's time for Fark's Headline of the Year!  We've gathered up all the headlines from the Headlines of the Week, combined them by month and by tab, and now we're asking you to vote for your favorites. 

Today we're starting with December 2017, tomorrow we'll post January 2018, and so on, through November 2018.  Our headline "year" goes from December to November so we can celebrate the headlines with the holidays every December! 

This is the preliminary round - we will do semifinals and finals in a couple weeks on the main site, this preliminary round is for TotalFark only!  Sign up for TotalFark to see all the headlines and be able to vote. 

Fark Headline of the Year preliminary voting - December 2017 MAIN

Fark Headline of the Year preliminary voting - December 2017 GEEK
Fark Headline of the Year preliminary voting - December 2017 BUSINESS
Fark Headline of the Year preliminary voting - December 2017 SPORTS

Consider each headline as carefully as you wish!  Some are puns, some are wordplay, some you need to click through a few times to read the story or the Fark comments to figure out what the joke is (and these are often some of the best), sometimes the joke is in the symbols, sometimes it's a sideways look at the story or the world.  Vote for any or all!  We don't limit your voting, we really want to see what you laughed at and enjoyed.  

Thank you to our fantastic submitters and thank you to our weekly TotalFark voters. These are the headlines that we love because they are especially clever, unique, look at the world sideways, and funny.  The kinds of headlines we can share and say *this* is Fark.

Well, it's Thanksgiving week in the U.S., and of course we have Black Friday, which apparently has spread to other countries because all our worst things end up infecting the rest of the world. It seems like stores are putting more of their sales online and trying to minimize stampedes, I guess because they're a biatch to clean up after. It's hard to believe that after people have literally died because of these Black Friday sales, the stores still advertise "doorbuster" deals, but nothing should be surprising anymore, right? Just, if you feel the need to do any Black Friday shopping, be sure to wear protection and get me something nice.

Fark Weird News Quiz Results (brought to you by ox45tallboy)      

We had some fun with the weather and the early snows seen in some parts of the country last week. DrunkenGator managed our only 11/11 on the quiz and sits alone in the 1000 club, drink in scaly claw. Evandar made second with 936, followed by FrancoFile in third with 924, and PeddlerOfBombast in fourth with 920. kuzo rounds out the top five with 916.

The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was over where you could pick up some KKK robes and Nazi memorabilia at the National Gun Day Expo. Although the sale or giveaway of items bearing the Confederate Battle Flag was strictly prohibited, event organizers never thought it would be necessary to explicitly ban Nazi crap, because come on. Only 27% of quiztakers knew that it was Kentucky where vendors were openly offering these things. Although, for the record, the vendor with the swastika Christmas ornaments (?!?!) was actually from Florida (of course).

The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was over what Fat Sal's Deli in Los Angeles was "dressed as" for Halloween. 74% of quiztakers knew that the fictional restaurant of "McDowell's" featured heavily in the plot to the Eddie Murphy comedy "Coming to America". Interesting note: Madge Sinclair, who played Queen Aoleon, later played Geordi LaForge's mom on an episode of "ST:TNG", and then teamed back up with James Earl Jones to act as a royal couple once again - this time as the parents of Simba in "The Lion King".

The hardest question on the Easy Quiz was over which state did not observe Daylight Savings Time in the entirety of its borders. Only 35% of quiztakers knew that the area of Arizona owned by the Navajo Nation did indeed observe DST in order to keep it in sync with the Navajo Nation parts of Utah and New Mexico which also observe the time change. Therefore, the correct answer was Hawaii. I mean, it's not like they really need to save any daylight anyhow, since they're solidly within the tropics. 

The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was over which online social network got the boot from both payment processors and their hosting provider after horrific anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant messages posted by the Tree of Life shooter surfaced. 84% of quiztakers knew that it was Gab who was given the boot by just about every company it did business with. When you offer "freedom of speech", you tend to get the people who want to read and write stuff no one else wants to read, and that becomes your user base. There's a good reason most social networks don't tolerate that kind of thing.

Congratulations to the winners, and this week's quiz should be up very soon. I'll post in the comments when it's ready.

A message from Drew Curtis:  
________________________  

A couple of friends of mine are getting married in December and asked me to officiate their marriage.  Since they met on Fark, I did a quick search to see if there was an online church that best fit the Internet.  Tl;dr I am now an ordained minister of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

There have been thousands of Fark weddings over the past nearly 20 years, but this will be the first one I've personally officiated.  And hopefully not the last! I'm mentioning all this because if anyone's interested, and assuming my schedule lines up, I'd be happy to officiate other Fark weddings in the future.  Ramen.

Also if you've been wondering what to get me for Christmas, look no further than a TotalFark subscription.  We need a quick bump to finalize end of year finances, so if you have been thinking about signing up, now's a great time.  If you already have TotalFark or BareFark and still want to help, you can buy it for me an unlimited number of times. I'll even drop you an email to say thanks if you like!

Farking Tip (brought to you by Winterlight)

So if you're one of the cool kids who can't stay away from Fark even on the weekends, you're probably aware we have a lot of cool weekly discussion threads. And not just football (both American and the OG overseas version) and CSB, we also have a pair of threads for the book and music lovers: the Saturday Morning Book Club and the Sunday Morning Music Club. 


Each week we pick a topic and then spend hours talking about...well, books and music. I know, we've spent the past fifty years of intense technological progress and innovation to bring together an interconnected online community to do what our grandparents used to do over tea and hands of pinochle. But hey, who are we to stand in the way of progress?


"I have a great idea for a topic! How can I share my brilliance with the world?" Funny you should ask. It's really quite simple: submit your topic early on Saturday and/or Sunday morning or you can email Winterlight at ultrafark.com with your idea. The threads go live at 10am ET and are usually greenlit for TotalFark members around 7am for those who can't wait to start talking about books and music.

Well, there's nothing going on this week. It's going to be really quiet. Absolutely no news or anything. Basically we should post pictures of cute animals all week because that's all that's going on. Nothing to debate, just animals being cute and funny and sometimes being jerks because that's funny, too.

XOXO,
