The Funboys - A Year in Review

Another year ends and with that we close out our first full year on the blog. As the blog administrator I will be delivering an annual recount of how the blog held up and where we have potential to improve.

As of this month we have 13 contributors. I just noticed Danny Boy got all signed up so hopefully we'll get a few posts out of him in 2010. I predict big things from him.

We've had 103 posts this year as well and numerous comments to boot. Pretty solid showing.

The breakdown went like this:

Ryan: 30
Kevin: 22
Camacho: 16
Mety: 12
D Sess: 7
Cody: 5
Cervenka: 4
Chris Todd: 3
Gregalo: 1
A Town: 1

Also I'd like to introduce The 2009 Funboy Awards or The Funbys:

Worst Houseguest: Danny Boy. He'll sleep from 6 am - 4 pm. I've actually been to work a time or two during that span of hours. This dude has no Sunday schedule.

Runner Up: Alex. That guy takes crazy shits.

(Sidenote: Oddly enough these are the only two funboys to chag in the last two months at my place) -- video available for dan's moment with the porcelain upon request..

Best Partier: Danny Boy. This guy "has to have an afterparty". Last call is the first call to Dan. Cheers to the man who gets it done and leaves it all out there. Dressed as Robert E. Lee at 4:30 a.m. on Halloween night, Dan did his best reenactment of Custer's last stand at the Exxon on Bitters and Jones Maltsberger, took a $45 dollar cab ride to seal a deal, and bargained a ride off his unsuspecting suitor - thus cementing his role in The Funboys as the best partier.

Best Post Titles: Chris Todd. Toddley comes up with the best post titles hands down. Notables include: "Wheats this all about" and "Hail to the Ch-Ch-Ch-Chief". While most of us don't even think of a clever heading, Todd adds a little polish to each post.

Best Lip Gloss Utilizer: This was a tough one. It could have gone to any one of us, but in the end there was just one funboy who could bring this one home: You guessed it, Danny Boy. When nothing else would do Dan applied lip gloss the only way he knows how. In her pooper.

Best Halloween Costume: Danny Camach as Macho Man Randy Savage. I don't know where you found that muscle suit or those arm-streamers, but that was some of your best work.

Crew Member Most Likely to Get You Out of a Bind: Danny Boy. Should a police officer find you chagging your brains out on the side of a downtown city street look to none other than Danny Boy to alert the police officer that "it's cool, he had cabbage for dinner".

Crew Member Most Likely to Get You Into a Bind: Danny Boy. There's no telling where a night out with Chauncey will take you.

Best Holdout for a Crew Member: Cervenka. You were strong my man. Very strong. Congrats for taking the plunge though!

Best Spontaneous Excursion Resulting in an Injury: Chris Atherton, TCU-TX State Weekend, broken ankle, razor scooter.

Crew Member in the Most Awkward Situations: Danny Boy. Anyone else have a conversation with their sexual partner's dad while naked? Didn't think so.

Most Likely to Bring Someone Out Who Will Unbutton Their Shirt at a Restaurant or Do Pull Ups at a Bar: Danny Boy.

Most Likely to be Spotted at Oasis (non-crew): Brett Gaines

Most Likely to be Spotted at Oasis (crew-related): Mr. D

Crew Member Most Likely to Let Loose When Their Significant Other is Not There: Tie: Todd and K Dal

Crew Member Most Likely to Turn in Early: Mety Boy. Give this man a coffee and Bailey's, an oh baby, and a bud light with lime and watch the magic happen!

The Comeback Kid: Dallas F%*&ing Sessions. Damn it's good to have this man back in the swing of things. He's been reemerging over the years, but Dallas really made a huge comeback this season. Hope to chill that much more in 2010 with ya D Sesh!

Crew Member Who Pulled off a Bald Head, Bandana, and Cutoff Shirt the Best: Gotta be the C Man.

Crew Member Most Likely to Clear the Room: Todd

Crew Member Most Likely to Make a Lot of Noise During Sex: Mr. Luke EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Evans

Best Back to Back SA Travelling Crew Member: Gregalo made the trip for Atherton's wedding and was right back down here for Thanksgiving. Good man.

Crew Member Most Likely to Make it Out 50% Percent of the Time: B Dub. With a going out percentage of 49.78%, Weiss takes the cake on this one.

So all that said I present Danny Boy as your 2009 Crew Member of the Year. It's hard to argue against the numbers here. Dan took home 7 Funbys this year in a variety of categories. Pay him tribute the next time you see him.
