Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

damn. Should've tested it first.

t edit I did test the script. It's the votes --> Nilly email forwarding that should've been tested.

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

I don't think we've used the forward here yet. I just deleted the entry and re-created it. I may have missed something.

Off to vote.

OK, I'll post in Press that people need to vote again. We'll extend the voting to Wednesday at Noon (three days from now) to be fair.

S'alright?

Fine by me.

Thanks, Jon and ita, Stompies to the rescue!

Done. And I just voted.

And I just got your vote, and mine (twice, like it's supposed to be), so it's working just fine.

If it weren't for this whole keeping-of-the-day-of-sabbath thing I would have caught up with it a lot sooner, too.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

If it weren't for this whole keeping-of-the-day-of-sabbath thing I would have caught up with it a lot sooner, too.

Eh, weighing the Commandments on the one hand against Bureaucracy on the other, I really can't fault your priorities.

I've revoted too -- no need for confirmation, since it sounds to me like you're getting them now, but just giving you a heads-up.

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

Heh. I hope we archive the current Angel thread in time for the lexicographers to stumble upon the Doppelkäts defense of "verbize."

Thrive to spite them

I voted as soon as the announcement was made in Press, am I going to have to vote again?
