Le Grande Buffoon 2007........An Update

As promised, an update on the struggle to win Le Maillot Jaune, as the Bender Squad buffoon of the year. As expected a strong showing has been put up by annual contenders John the Don, Helmet, Mad Ad,Funky and the Right Honourable Shouty, but as always an outsider or two also make a strong showing. This year, in light of the Munich trip, I have to say some consideration has to be shown to myself, the airplane incident being of particular note. The other first timer to make his presence felt is Ropey Mark, who took his piratey nonsense to new levels, nearly getting punched by a passer by, upsetting a disabled girl, gurning of epic proportions, and most infamously knocking up Dangerous Pete's dad at 5 a.m. to ask if he was in, and then running off before Pete could get to the door. But the two front runners remain Shouty, and just retaining his lead Funky, who have both maintained a high level of idiocy throughout the year. The Right Honourable has made great strides to narrow Funky's seemingly insurmountable lead, but the taxi incident is to much stupidity for even the Shoutster to overhaul. With 2007 slowly drawing to a close, I have put together a current top five;

1. The Funky Pedestrian


2. The Right Honourable Shouty


3. Ropey Mark


4. European Bri


5. John the Don
