It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The trekkies(ers?) hit us on the 15th/16th.

What does "grandma tildy but no elephants" mean?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have an app that runs and generates them, Erin. Which is good, because I would be tempted to make them myself, and it's a headache.

Go team other nerds!

Interesting. I missed it. Did we have BSG spoilers, or did an article come out?

Art Crawl!!!

Jessica saw the finale early and posted about it in the spoilers section.

Our wings are not tired.

In the Press announcement on the current vote Jon stated: Voting closes Tuesday, April 17, at 9 PM (PST). I think it should have been 6 PM (PST) since the voting started at 6 PM. I expect to be asleep by 9 PM (PST).

I could a) Stay up until midnight, woo! b) Post at 6PM PST and if there is a flood of late votes post the new results in the morning. c) Post in the morning.

Sorry I didn't notice the time earlier; I was just compiling it all now.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm inclined to stick with what was posted, at this stage in the game. I vote stay up until midnight!

No, actually, I vote that we all suck it up and wait for you to get it in the morning.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I started the voting a little early because I was going out for the evening. My intent was as stated in the Press announcement. I'm with Brenda -- just wait until morning to announce the results.

Like I could sleep with this weight on my shoulders! It'll be like national election night. I'll just stay up and watch TDS and Colbert. Or if I fall asleep it will be morning.
