Le Grand Buffoon 2008

So another buffoon of the year draws to it's climax. This year, in a break with tradition, I ran a poll to give everyone a chance to voice who they though should receive the prestigious "Maillot Jaune." Before I announce the winner, a quick recap. Last years recipient, The Funky Messiah, was quickest out of traps, with a stunning display over the festive period, but soon went into hibernation when he found himself a new chick, and quickly faded. The slack was immediately taken up by the Right Honourable Shoutster, who kept a steady pace through the Spring, and found himself leading the pack. Over the summer the likes of myself, El Grande Queso and Paulcano flirted with the top rankings, and a late effort, mostly football related, gave Helmet the smallest of look ins. The vote turned out to be very close, I was pipped by a solitary vote by our winner, who in true Buffoon style, admitted to stuffing the ballot. He finally accepted that he was the true winner last weekend, and it is with great honour that I unveil our 2008 champion Buffoon. A strong candidate since appearing on the scene three years ago, he at least takes the step up from also ran to Le Grand Buffoon 2008..............................




SHOUTY PAUL






















The Right Honourable joins the Pantheon of Stupidity with past winners;

The Funky Messiah 2007








John the Don 2006









Jamon 2005












The race for 2009 starts now. Shouty will be expected to be a strong contender once again, and previous winners such as John the Don and Funky, will always be strong contenders. Jamon however, due to his ongoing incarceration, would appear to be fading quietly into the annals of history. I may self, having spent far to much time in the company of idiots, have also seemingly acquired the knack for stupidity, and cannot be discounted, along with El Grande Queso, anybody with the last name Jannetta, Mad Ad, Skid and Tony Helmet. But what of the new comers?? Bakes and Paulcano look to be choc full of potential, and if you ever have the pleasure of spending an evening with a drunken Lefty, you will see that boy could fair romp away with the Yellow Jersey. But I fancy a dark horse, somebody who you never associate with stupidity, but certainly is not adverse to a bit of Buffoonery. I think Crespo could be the surprise package this year, and will be keeping close tabs on him. Let the Stupidity begin!!
