WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.

WannaBe: So, again, the worker expressed and exercised the 1st amendment right(s), whether suspension is warrented or not is up to company/union policy. Not the administration, because this will be 0-9 in the Supreme Court. Another individual (who happens to be the president) also exercised ...

  WannaBe: <malthrope> For that category, I actually re-counted 3 times, before I finally announced the winner; and yes, <jessicafischerqueen> is correct in the fractional vote counting.
Dec-23-08  square dance: congrats to <KingG> on his well deserved caissar.

as <dom> and <jess> both imply several people would have been worthy winners including, but not limited to everyone they both mentioned. (what, no nomination for http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...?! :-P) its nice to see one of cg's more underappreciated members get recognized though.

  jessicafischerqueen: <MannBee>

er... <Open Defence> not only won <most constructive>, but she did by a wide margin:

<4.25> votes by my count.

Not that I think <Brankat> wouldn't make a more than worthy winner.

but this year it's <Deffi>...

Unless there has been a <coup d'etat> in your forum?

Dec-23-08
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: Correction that's

<5.25> votes for <Open Defence>- an even wider margin than on my first count.

I demand a recount!!

Mrs. Governor of Florida

Dec-23-08  Open Defence: I demand we hang <Chad>!!!

Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: hahahah <Deffi> and now you are lobbying further for <funniest kibbutzer>, to "double up" this year like <Malthrope>...

Well I nominated you for funniest Kibbutzer and I always vote for my nominee, except when I fail to do so.

So you'll get my vote. Subject to <force majeur>, such as being offered a substantial bribe by <technical draw>, for example.

Mrs. I Can be Bought

Dec-23-08  Open Defence: did I mention we are roasting a leg of Dwae Ji for Christmas ? although it isnt entirely kosher for Festivus

  WannaBe: Here is what I have...

<Open Defence> got full votes from: <ragh>, <Eyal>, <hms123> and 1/4 from <Valiant>

<brankat> got full votes from: <TheAlchemist>, <Switchingquylthulg>, <Akavall>, and 1/3 from <malthrope>

That's 3.33333 to 3.25

Who did I miss in the count?

Dec-23-08  Open Defence: this is embarassing for me to point out but what the hell

<Domdaniel>

Dec-23-08  Open Defence: geez this is wierd heh!
Dec-23-08
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Yaaaar, crap, I did miss it, why can't <Domdaniel> follow everyone else's format? (highlight the name, or not hide the voting inside of some Hemingwayesque paragraphs?)
Dec-23-08  Open Defence: then he wouldn't be the <Major Domo> heh!

but I feel awkward now.... geez

Dec-23-08
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: My correction was wrong--

It's <4.25> for <Deffi> giving her the win.

I vote we strip <DomDaniel> of his BEST WRITTEN POST Caissar on the grounds, that, while certainly written well, they don't use enough <> thingies.

  WannaBe: Congratulations to <KingG> and <Open Defence> a.k.a. nee <Red October> for winning their Caissar.

This is a modified post of a previous (deleted) post.

Dec-23-08  Open Defence: <I vote we strip <DomDaniel>> preposterous!!! think of the children!! think of the Bishops!!!

Premium Chessgames Member
  Domdaniel: Oops, sorry about that. At least it was only a Hemingwayesque paragraph. Some of my Pynchonesque paragraphs go on for pages ...

I'll follow <the> rules <in> future, Mr Wabbit.

"If JFQ wants to strip Domdaniel there are places for that kind of thing ..."

  WannaBe: <Domdaniel> No biggie, <I> should have read each post carefully... =)
Dec-23-08  malthrope: <WannaBe: <malthrope> For that category, I actually re-counted 3 times, before I finally announced the winner>

Right <WannaBe> -- as responded back to <JFQ> I was fully satisfied with her 'fractional' explanation answer. :)

Dec-23-08  Open Defence: maybe we should have a category of <Honorary Buttinsky>

I am sure I would win

Dec-23-08  malthrope: Have the final calculations of "Most Constructive" been finalized and concluded? This post by <WannaBe> was confusing...

<WannaBe: Here is what I have...

<Open Defence> got full votes from: <ragh>, <Eyal>, <hms123> and 1/4 from <Valiant>

<brankat> got full votes from: <TheAlchemist>, <Switchingquylthulg>, <Akavall>, and 1/3 from <malthrope>

That's 3.33333 to 3.25

Who did I miss in the count?>

Actually, that's 3.25 to 3.33333 (not the other way around). What gives? (is it per chance the hidden vote by <Domdaniel> in his Hemingwayesque paragraph and also <JFQ>'s revised calculations?). <totally confused>

Just curious... :)

Happy Holiday's :^)

Dec-23-08  malthrope: Ah yes! See it now this is what <WannaBe> missed...

<Domdaniel: Meanwhile, I'd like to cast a vote for Open Defence aka Red October (aka Saint Deffi the Wise). For contributions to the construction industry, or whatever. Thank you.>

Congrats <Open Defence> :))

Great leader in the Constuction <CG.com> industry! ;)

PS: I really need to proof read my short posts! ~lol~
