If I only had a brain...

In that case, I propose that we should all be recognized as the paragons of intelligence and beauty that we truly are, and should forthwith be showered with money, love, and parking spaces.

Is that a multiple choice ballot?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nope. All or nothing.

And now I have O-Town in my head. Thanks, Dana.

Try the fork in the eye. That should shake 'em loose.

And we come full circle. The Circle of Posting.

The tines would probably get tangled in Jacob's hair.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

See, whereas those of us blissfully ignorant of dancing boybands have no idea what you're talking about! bitterchick, it's a hell of your own making.

Proposer composing the ballot and Proposer choosing the way the vote is tallied go hand-in-hand, because the wording of a ballot will frame the question and (how many and what kind of) answers. I like this, and it allows for case-by-case flexibility, and it avoids mathy argumentation, and I like it.

Therefore, let's do it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In all seriousness, things have passed because we made a list of things a lot of us wanted and then voted on them, not just because we're lemmings.

Oh, of course. You people aren't NEARLY lemming-like enough. This whole thing could have been a lot smoother, let me tell you.

Also? I had nearly forgotten all about O-Town.
