Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Jon, did you see my question? Is my ballot supposed to go to my own email address (for validation?) and it's automatically also routed to jengod?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I didn't see the question, but the email goes to Jengod at votes@buffistas.org and is cc:'ed to you. The email headers should make that clear.

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

there is the implication of "it's broken" by having the vote if there isn't much discussion to the contrary.

Of course there's an implication of "it's broken". The vote is to see if the implication can stand to be made explicit, or not.

It seems harmless enough, since it's only a decision to find out if the people chattering represent a minority or not.

And no, even if I think it's important, I bail if it goes on too long, or comes around too often. Because, really, it stops being worth it, when you tally time and effort and sometimes blood pressure.

I only have so much to give here.

David -- I changed the text near the top of the form. Hopefully, it's now more clear. And now, like Sophia, I gone.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My ballot has been submitted.

Particular thanks to Cindy for rounding up the cats, Sophia for tracking everything and Jon for putting up the form.

However the vote goes I'm happy with the hard work that got us to this point.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Nuisance value rises while benefit remains the same.

For my part, I hope a standardized process will ameliorate some of the fractiousness that decision-making has resulted in lately. I know it's occasionally made me short-tempered and discourteous. I like the vote to indicate true finality.

ita is me. Only more dangerous.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Fair enough. I just want to give another side.

I only have so much to give here.

And that is more than fair.
