Thread of the Week:
Thread of the Week this week goes to @"SouthernAlpha" for the excellent thread What Everyone Ought To Know About Failure. A lot of thought went into this first blog post, and it earned 21 Silver Bananas, 171 Facebook Likes, 14 LinkedIn Shares, and 4 Tweets. Unbelievable job!
Comment of the Week:
There was no contest for Comment of the Week this week, as @"broadstbully" ran away with it with his hilarious advice on how to handle an asshole boss. While his advice would likely result in termination, I'd sure like to see someone do it. His comment brought in 13 Silver Bananas.
Guidance Counselor:
@"Marcus_Halberstram" is no stranger to the Guidance Counselor category, and this week is no exception. His well considered comment on @"paidoff"'s Mea Culpa thread earned him 7 Silver Bananas. Keep up the great work, man!
Most Active Monkeys:
Pretty slow week this week, as no one cracked triple digits. @"alphaSledge" and @"AcctNerd" tied for first place with 82 banana points, and @"GoldenCinderblock" and @"WallStreetPlayboys" were close behind with 79 and 77 banana points, respectively.
