"Did you even read my 1st argument?  Or were you too busy thinking about the old days and how pimpin' was so much easier back then?"lakers#1(taking it to current Zing-Chase leader, Pimp NcDavid in TD#208979)

REMINDER:  Submissions are always welcome.  Please use the SUBMISSION BOARD on the group page.  If you haven't joined the group, please do so HERE

THE ZING CHASE STANDINGS

 1. Pimp David (36 pts)

 2. Frank (23 pts)

 3. T-Fo (14 pts)

 4. Prodigy (13 pts)

5. lakers #1 (11 pts)

Hot on their tails!:  The Emperor, hemo, ghost, lifer, CCC

Still holding strong!: Cass, nickb23, Pitt Panther, bigdleech

Don't count them out!:  EFB, Porkins, Moondizzle, Roberts#1, joe dew

Strong debuts: asamberg, Squints, Foosball, wtnelson, RobertMenn, femdimes (aka FnF groupie)

 

Zing-List Highlights of the Week

A. * * Beyond ZINGING * * .  Overall TDs of the week:

Frank vs. Prodigy (TD 208057): Alabama vs. Tenessee (the edjukashon sistemms)

Squints vs. Agrippa (TD 206887): Best X-mas present for FanNation

 B. Peachy delivers the 'Unintentionally Funny TD Topic of the Week: "Best athlete that smokes cigarettes occasionally"

 C. The Emperor makes the first (and only) blog-Zing.

 D. Peachy 'calls his shot' and achieves 200 TD wins! 

 E. Most intimidating Avatar (RobertMenn).  Probably best to avoid ticking this avatar off during a TD.

 F.  "BULLSHlT!".  And with this battle-cry, Pimp David has been officially called-out by Ghost.  Without directly saying it, Ghost alludes to David's relatively low ZPTTD stat of 0.038.   (Zing points per total TD = 36/941).    Stay tuned for the first officially sanctioned ZINGER exhibition match.  David and Ghost will each risk 25% of their Zing points against each other in direct TD combat.  (The winner of the TD will also receive 7 bonus pts from the Zingers Foundation).

 

Other random news from TD-land and beyond...

A. Olympics - Part 1 - Gu3's 'show your pride' avatar campaign is a big success...and CCC wins the unofficial competion, hands down.

       

 

B. Non-Olympics Avatars of WeekCassidy and Prodigy

    

 

C. Olympics Part 2 - BigAlke (the color guy) and BigDleech (play by play guy) continue to provide us with the best Olympics blogs on FanNation.

 

 

D. Do you smell bacon?  The Grammar Police dept is expanding.  Commissioner Roberts#1 has now recruited PackerLP21 to join the cause.  Careful with that spelling and grammar FanNation or you will eventually get TAZED.

   

 

E. The Havertown Crisis...

A ray of hope?  This week we've seen it all.  Strategic plans from The Emperor, an open-letter from the Pitt Panther, and an a TD ranking Havertown in the top 2 'Worst Sports Cities on on Planet' by Goodell.  Will Havertown's new defense lawyer, EFB (and his ironic Barry Bonds avatar) be able to help spell the end of the cheating by helping us see it another way?  There are more sides to this story than the Favre saga, the Clemons* case, and the Chinese gymnastics team combined.

 

 

F. Olympics - PART 3:  Congrats to Phelps!!!  8 Gold?  What a story!   Congrats to Bolt as well.  10 seconds? They will soon have to recoin this event 'The most exciting 9.5 seconds in sports".

 

"There are no sensors.  The finish is determined by 5 random guys from Baltimore sitting in a control room high atop the water cube."- FanNation member: Porkins, in clear 'support' of a TDer who claimed that Phelps actually lost one of the races because a judge didn't push a button on time.  (Final score in that TD disaster: 43 to 1)

 

Tune in tomorrow for the Daily Zing List - WEEK 3!

Hey Im just sayin, count me out for the zings. Your catagories are lies!

August 17, 2008  04:21 PM ET

Wares David got all dos zings form.

Somebody give this guy a contract.

August 17, 2008  04:29 PM ET

the best zing ever wasnt here!

"so"

someone i dont even remember who typed up a TD and it was about best WR and he just wrote 2 words than someone took it and completely argued 1200 characters and all he said back was so

lol

EFB,
If the staff of the Zingers Foundation along with their camera team had been there to witness that move, I would imagine that an automatic 25 pts would have been awarded on the spot - Perhaps even a sponsor's exemption to the Zing Tourney. That example is 'zinging' at it's pinnacle of excellence.

August 17, 2008  04:57 PM ET

The Kobe avatar is shown some love! Yeah!

The Havertown Crisis? HAHA. I love the new terminology for this sort of "unnatural (and technological) disaster".

Great blog as always, Yoda.

"There are no sensors. The finish is determined by 5 random guys from Baltimore sitting in a control room high atop the water cube."-

Hey! They pay well!

*continues to count 20s*

Even for a non-TDer this is one of the most entertaining blogs on FN.
The two TDs of the Week were both hilarious; I also thought Porkins and T-Fo's "Michael Phelps is Underrated" TD might have been in with a shout.
A splendid job once again, Yoda.

The Zingers camera crew missed the T-Fo/Porkins TD. I will dispatch somebody immediately to examine it. There may be a technicality in the rulebook that will still allow for recognition on tomorrow's list.

Nice cover up.....screw up.

Great blog Master!

August 17, 2008  08:21 PM ET

What, TWO grammar policemen now? I was hoping that Squints' victory in the Phonics thingy TD might mean Roberts would take the occasional day off from GPD duties, but now he has a deputy there will be no respite from frantically scrutinising every comment prior to posting. Drat.

August 17, 2008  08:37 PM ET

And you'd better even watch it with British spelling (scutiniZing*) right there. We don't know if commisioner Roberts#1 will be on duty and give you a pass for using the Queen's English or whether deputy Packers21 will be on duty and enforce American spelling. We can't win. In an effort to clean things up around here, the Grammar police may take it too far and start infringing on the rights and freedoms we've earned in the first place!

August 17, 2008  09:10 PM ET

Lol, I did think about that. I think I must request standardisation/standardization of the regulations so that I know where I stand. Otherwise my posts will become cumbersome with both alternatives being used in an attempt to avoid being tazered!

August 17, 2008  10:30 PM ET

TAZED!!!!

August 17, 2008  11:23 PM ET

I'm losing TD's to make this asshelmet list, and your camera crew misses them? What was their last gig - chasing Lady Di through a tunnel in France?

August 17, 2008  11:24 PM ET

Oilers now gets 5 automatic T-fo votes for pointing out the Chinese judge on the panel.

August 17, 2008  11:42 PM ET

TAZED!!!!
PackersLP21 | 08/17/08, 10:31 PM

OUCH!!!

Great Job once again Yoda
