    The original idea was to have something other than post count, and to enable the forum to self-rate a bit.

    Apparently, I'm mostly wise, a bit funny, but not particularly impressive....

    My wife would disagree with the 'wise' part....

    Same here. But, being a bit paranoid, I suspect most of my LOL's are people laughing 'at' me, not 'with' me.

    It's not a competition.

    I haven't checked, but I can pretty much guarantee that ICBM's in the top spot. I'd hazard a guess that RandomHandClaps and Drew are in the next two spots.

    I'm going to guess that most "wow" use is ironic now that we don't have facepalms.

    As in 'wow you are a knobhead'

    randomhandclaps has more frets than me. I had to check too, I never normally pay any attention to them. (Really - I had no idea how many I had.)

    I miss the facepalms. I had quite a good collection.

    Sort of. You can usually tell because they provide chairs in the bars, so the people don't fall over when they're pissed.
