WannaBe: SF need bigger "Gun Free Zone" signs. That will solve the problem. Or tougher gun laws, because it's worked for the last 20 years. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles... Does anyone here know what Einstein said about insanity?

  jessicafischerqueen: Heh... <TD>

Actually I have two sock puppet accounts, and one is even a "Preemy"..

but I'm not bringing them out, as you and I now have an

"even playing field"...

I believe with <nako's> vote for you we are now neck and neck....

Good luck to you!!

heh

Dec-23-08  technical draw: BTW, Thanks <Nako> I knew I could count on you. Not like that traitor <chancho>. He drank my bottle of pitorro and then voted against me! No pasteles for him this Christmas....
Dec-23-08  technical draw: Thanks, <rogge> that puts me ahead for good!

  jessicafischerqueen: <TD> nice try, incumbent funny president!!

At this moment, counting <nako and rogge>, it is:

6.0 for you
6.5 for me

And a good 12 hours till the polls close--

BTW what's a "ponzi"?

Dec-23-08  technical draw: I demand a recount! How can someone get half a vote? My dear jessicafischerqueen (if that's your real name) you wouldn't want to be called the funniest kibbizer with an asterisk (*) would you.

Now I know you've run a good race I'll be the first to vote for you next year, but not this year, so may I suggest you throw in the towel now, before the final count?

Just inform King Wannabe that you withdraw from the race, that's all. See that's not so hard, right?

  WannaBe: Why do I volunteer to do this? I can see why <Nikolaas> gave it up after 2 years.

  jessicafischerqueen: heh- poor <MannBee>...

<TD>- well, according to official rules, a multiple vote by the same person is divided fractionally.

Viz, <hms123> voted for both <Deffi> and <Me>, giving us .5 vote each.

But don't worry, you'll probably still win. There's still a whole 12 hours till the voting closes.

At the least, we've put <MannBee> in a good mood for Christmas!!

Dec-23-08  technical draw: Hello, Your Majesty, Wannabe! Just the great person I wanted to talk to.

Listen can we settle this "funniest kibitzer" thing in private? You know, one hand washes the other? Just ask what you want and I'll see that you get it.

(unlike that other "contender" who'll give you squat)

Dec-23-08  technical draw: Official!, from JFQ herself!:
<But don't worry, you'll probably still win.>

I consider that a concession speech, voting is over, TD wins!

  chancho: <technical draw: Not like that traitor> <chancho>.

Ouch! I saw that you won the best avatar category and my avatar got jealous. Sorry about that bro! Hey don't hold out on the Pitorro, please! Felicitaciones!

Dec-23-08  hms123: Dear <Wannabe>,
I understand that Mr <TD> has links to Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, and other such places. I hereby challenge all of his votes--even the legitimate ones- and cite <Gore V. Bush> as precedent. Any questionable votes (especially for him) should be tallied for the truly funniest kibitzer--<JESSICAFISCHERQUEEN>!

Thank you for your support,
I approved this message (mostly because I wrote it myself), <hms123> <sockpuppet extraordinaire>

  jessicafischerqueen: I have not conceded!

<TD> for heavens sake there's still hours left for a decisive winner to be declared via <voting>...

  jessicafischerqueen: <(if that's your real name) >

<Technical Draw>

heh... Yes, it is as a matter of fact. As is your ID name-- I believe you come from the "East Egg" <Draws>, a Long Island family full of "old money"?

Mrs. Jay Gatsby

Dec-23-08  technical draw: <hms123> OH, yeah? Well I'm citing Row v Wade, Brown v Bored of Education, nolo contendere and habeus corpus! Anarchy!

  jessicafischerqueen: My lawyers (Howard) have advised me that I should adopt a policiy of <post hoc ergo propter hoc> and <cave canem> with regard to the <US Spurious Court> decisions cited by the estimable <Touchdown> in aid of his nefarious cause to become <Comic Dictator for Life> and <President of Thailand>.
Dec-23-08  technical draw: (after calming down) Well, I see Ms. JFQ is trying the smooth, cultured gag, road. La, dee,da...How about some tea and biscuits?

By the way, Smithers, I do believe, Mr. draw, of the Southhampton Draws, is on his way to another win. Jolly good for him, we wouldn't want a social climber like Ms. What's her name flaunting new airs, would we?

  jessicafischerqueen: I'm not a social climber, my dear <TD>. More of a country girl, in fact.

I'm the kind of woman who takes long cycling tours in the Lake Country with hard-boiled eggs taped to the handlebars.

Dec-23-08  technical draw: TD (sensing blood) goes in for the kill:

That's OK my dear JFQ, I know you're tired and you just want to bicycle it outta here. We'll just pretend none of this happened. I'll take my Caissar now and we'll call it quits until next year.

(whistling into the sunset).......

  jessicafischerqueen: Heh.... <Toronto Dominion Bank>

I forgot how much fun it is engaging in a <fight to the death of comedy> with you every Christmas.

Slight change of topic- isn't the Internet great?

Example: I'm at "work" right now...

heh

Even better- I'm the only person in the school who can read English.

So I just told a curious teacher who passed by my office that I was engaged in a <cutting edge discussion about Pedagogical Theory with my esteemed colleague Profesor Technical Draw>...

Wheee

Dec-23-08  technical draw: Yes, Jess, lets change the subject. Visit Joe Wms forum....
Dec-23-08  malthrope: Well, this is an exciting race it appears we have two 'speed caterpillars' racing to the finish line... Proving to be nothing short of hilarious! ~lol~ Besides, I'm staying true, more or less, to my original nominations and voting sequence. Having now learned the valuable lesson of what 'fractional votes' are for careful consideration when applied to next year's noms and votes... :)

Caissar Awards <Official Votes> 2008

The final two caterpillars categories...

Most Helpful: <whiteshark>, <brankat>, <hms123> & <CG.com>

Funniest Kibitzer <technical draw>, <WannaBe>, <Open Defence> & <JFQ>

Basically you're all Caissar <winners> to me! :^) - Mal

PS: Informative Note: I was decidedly *not* bribed, coerced, or <"Made an offer I couldn't refuse."> in placing my final votes.

The only motivation was entirely my own after having done a very careful count of all the votes placed by whom and for who (including all changes with multiple additions & subtractions including any fractional votes placed) for the last two caterpillar categories -- Helpful & Funniest. :)

A very special "Thank You" goes to <WannaBe> for hosting it once again! :))

Dec-23-08  Ragh: Most Helpful: <brankat>
Dec-24-08  MostlyAverageJoe: Funniest: <technical draw>.

  WannaBe: Okay, here is what I have, after scrolling back and forth of approx. 3 pages of pure crap, and absolute garbage that I have to sort through....

Funniest: <technical draw> 7 votes, <JFQ> 6.5

Most Helpful: <brankat> 2, <hms123> 2...
