The winner of the 2006 "Best Message Board Post" contest was...

BRENT NICHOL!

With this unforgettable story:

Failed at the gym the other day. I was working out, bench pressing, and the most embarrassing scenario that could happen to a man occured; I failed on the last rep without a spotter. I couldn't get the bar up and it was slowly pressing into my neck. Of course, being a man and posessing a modicum of pride, I did the only thing that anyone in my situation would do to avoid making a scene and compound the embarassment. I looked around, and in the most falsely calm voice, asked, "um, can someone help me? You see, I've got this bar here..... and it's on my neck."

just thought I you would think this is funny

So keep writing those funny/embarassing stories on the message board for all to enjoy and next year you will have another chance to win.
