'Is there a register of buffoons? ' Let's start one!

So here it is!

This one for nonmusical things.

I recommend that as well as the name, there should also be

Geographical Location, Field of Endeavour,
as per suggested example


Name,       Geographical Location, Field of Endeavour,

If Canada approves gay marriage, the premier of the province of Alberta says the province will opt out, which the provinces can do, if they object to a statute. I nominate that premier, Ralph Klein.

I have to suggest that any nominations for a Buffoon Register should not include anyone involved in politics, for the simple reason that the Register would be full before anybody else got on it. The Register should be for strictly amateur buffoons, and not those maintained by the public purse.

I think that it would be prudent not to nominate Mudcatters for this, or it might turn ugly.

Well said,
ozmacca, and Mcgrath!

but politicians are fair game, since they started it off... :-)

so perhaps the standards for them should be higher...

Oh No! now what have I said?

The one thing I don't like about the Darwin awards, is that the featured players in the funny stories get killed. A register of those mental giants who go skinny dipping in park fountains, or get locked out of the house in the alltogether, would be very nice.
This having been said, I have our first nominee, courtesy of a friend who was a legal secretary.
This genius decided to rob a bank.
For a getaway car, he bought a gold Cadillac. Since he didn't want it traced back to him, he had his grandmother pay for it, with cash!
Then the genius collected his girlfriend, and told her they were going for a drive in his new car.
He stopped outside the bank, and told his girlfriend to wait in the car. He went in an robbed it, then he ran out, and across the street, and in and out of a store, to give himself an alibi. Then, since he didn't want to be identified by his clothes, he threw them out the car window, as they drove along the highway. He was apprehended almost immediately. My friend's boss represented the girlfriend, who was aquitted on all counts, since it's legal, in Pennsylvania, to date a moron. (Yes she did dump him!)

One way to keep this thread short would be to have a rule that you could only nominate someone to it if you've never done anything really stupid your own self....

I've never robbed a bank. Nor do I have any intention of doing so.

but there are other ways of proving one's stupidity than by robbing a bank. there are other ways...like handing a stripper a few quarters (when you're very very pissed) and sitting there bewildered when she laughs in your face...

or trying to unlock your car for ten minutes...as you get angrier and angrier that the key is not fitting in the lock....then realising it's not even your car....
