Is it possible to search by "likes"?

Brief thread derail: I'm often disappointed by my thread likes. Sometimes I feel like I'll throw something clever or insightful out there and get nothing. The next day I'll take a potshot at Tiger in a tour thread and boom, 8 likes

Noticed this too. Often posts I think are gold end up at the end of page in a rapidly evolving thread and get skipped over. There is a bit of a science to it. More often than not if you can get a good/sarcastic/clever/honest well written post within the first few replies of the OP likes come easier and more frequent

Loved the post about how SLDR stands for slider.

[Thrillhouse]

Matt the taff posted this in the what are you asking for for Christmas thread:

"Rope, shovel, bottle of rum and a massive double ender.


.... Or maybe a humidor"

HA! That guy absolutely kills me!

I really enjoyed the arguing about lottery tickets thread. I thought it was stupid as can be which is just my kind of entertainment.

[/quote] there were so many gems in that thread, but the way it ended made me sad at life.

[MattTheTaff]

I can't remember which thread it was in but I distinctly remember MtlJeff implying that he was sending pictures of his unit to Thrillhouse.

Dick jokes are always great.

[MattTheTaff]

Also, anything posted by bcinstinct is always great.

For some reason I try to make haiku's out of his posts

That's freaking hilarious...

I feel I toss in the dramatic pauses every time my buddy bsc posts...

Of course, I might be drinking a bit of the grape, but still..

[hebron1427]

unfortunately, it was a little more than a year ago, but still my favorite post i've read on this site: http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/751463-local-dicks-robbed/#entry5935729

the thread being about a local Dick's sporting goods being robbed, with the majority of clubs taken being taylormade.

[quote]
vote for your favorite MtlJeff taylormade joke:

1) the thieves took more Taylormade then [url="http://www.nike.com/"]Nike[/url]....Ping....Callaway....and Cleveland.....[i]combined[/i]

[i]2) [/i]The thief was reported as saying "when someone hands you 17 extra drivers, [i]you take it"[/i]

This was one of my favourites from the Wells Fargo earlier this year. bscinstinct referencing Boo Weekley's success and the whole Vijay/Deer Antler Spray debacle:-



"What's up with Boo?! He has been killing it.

Already made $1MM this year. Better than his whole year last year. What did he do?

Eat the antlers off the deer he bagged?

Booooooo!

I don't remember the thread or the exact post, but there was one Thrillhouse post where he said something like "GET ME A TURKEY SANDWICH!" or something like that that had me laughing for a solid 20 minutes

[SilverBullets]

Man, I clearly haven't figured the audience out yet. I'm just happy when one of my posts actually gets a like haha

I had one like that in the WRX speed dating thread as well. I made several proir posts that got like 5 likes, 7 likes...

And the best one I got 1 like.

It had to do with a a guy in a fivesome "finishing quickly". I think it was so overly dirty only one person got it. That's my favorite post I've made on this site to date.

[markheardjr]

I don't get the liking on here. There's a few that make it a living of posting sarcastic posts just for likes. I'd rather just post value-added comments to real golf topics.

So you came into the Posts of The Year topic to comment on a topic not based on golf topics and add no value?

[eagle1997]

this post took me to a place of uncontrollable laughter.

then there was this guy. unintentional comedy at its finest.

I love it when all these hacks in this forum think that hitting a rocketbladez 7 iron 240 is a bunch of BS and don't believe it's possible. Everyone thinks that only the guys on tour are golf gods and only they hit it that far long and are the only ones that can hit it a ridiculous distance. It just really chaps my a$$, because my golf buddy and I are about a 2 handicap. When he starts talking about the pga tour pros he acts like they are from a different planet and our pansy 290 to 300 yard drives don't even come close to what those guys can hit. Let me play right before a pga tour event on the course when it's tournament ready and those 290 yards drives will be like 320 with roll. Let me just say that if your clubhead speed is 115 or above with the driver, YES YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HIT A ROCKETBLADEZ 7 IRON 230 to 240. THE SIMULATORS AT GOLFSMITH ARE NOT JACKED UP. IT'S FUNNY HOW IT'S USUALLY THE HACKS THAT ARE ALWAYS SAYING THE SIMULATORS ARE JACKED UP. I ALSO NOTICED IT'S THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT ROCKETBLADEZ HAVING JACKED UP LOFTS. IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT'S JACKED UP. WHY DON'T YOU JACK UP YOUR CAR AND POST PICS OF IT JACKED UP AND THEN WE CAN TRULY SAY SOMETHING IS REALLY JACKED UP.

Sadly my knowledge of golf is overshadowed by my knowledge of chicks dropping deuces on glass coffee tables.

...well that's my excuse, anyway.

The content of my posts is like animal porn.... It's not for everyone.
