Welcome to the 2008 Edition of The Best of Chit Chat – my annual attempt to harvest thumbs from other peoples’ content roundup of the most profound, sublime and silly content of everyone’s favorite off-topic forum.

So, what does it take to make this list? At its core, the best Chit Chat content reflects the various personalities that inhabit the forum. The content may be achingly personal or snort-bacon-through-your-nose hilarious – or at times, both. It's original content found nowhere else.

Although I’m well known for my impeccable taste and keen sense of quality, it’s possible that there’s something I inexplicably missed. You’re free to add it.

So, sit back and relax, take off your Yahoo boots, have some fine iced tea, and enjoy the show!

Coupon giveaway: I will give away a free microbadge coupon to a random person who thumbs this list before Sunday, January 18 at noon CST.

UPDATE: The winner of the MB coupon is GimpyFlGuy.

Holy wah! This is an expensive place to put random crap! And further, please DO NOT FIX GeekQuestions tipping** OR thumb counts. Both are a critical part of its charm (such as it is). ** Except for Purplewurple who totally deserves it!

Ah... back in the bucolic days of a few months back... I was ripe with hope, and sublime with serendipity. But sadly I, well... changed... and my enthusiasm for my own candidacy dwindled. No doubt this due in part to my running mate's utter disappearance from the site soblue I never really was quite sure what it was we were running for, but it was fun while it lasted.

Thanks for the retrospective.
