WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.

  HeMateMe: best historian: <Graham Clayton>

best avatar: I was really torn on this because Travis bickle, hms123 (the Cat in the Hat) and Izimbra are all great.

I have to split the vote for <Izimbra>, the iconic Neil Young guitar case on the beach and <Travis Bickle> the De Niro character from the film "Taxi Driver".

Jan-05-11  hms123: <Wannabe> Apologies, but I need to switch my <best avatar> vote from <twinlark> to <chancho>. thanks.

  jessicafischerqueen: <OFFICIAL VOTE>

Best avatar <Travis Bickle>

Best historian <crawfb5>

Er... I'd really like to know who has been nominating "everyone else" in various categories, since IT'S A SOCK PUPPET ACCOUNT that doesn't actually "do" anything.

How do I know? It's one of my sockpuppets. Really it is.

<Technical Draw> as well, since I'm at it.

  chancho: I thought <WannaBe> was going to take a day off on the polling. Well, I vote for <JessicaFischerQueen> for Best Historian. I missed voting on the best handle category. Sorry about that <Jess>.

  WannaBe: <chancho> I already took a day off, that was Wednesday!

<jfq> did indeed get 5 votes, but one of those was <hms123>, who had previously voted for <Once>; so it's not totally clear whether that vote should be counted fully or as a split vote. Anyway, I got 5 votes too. ;-)

Best avatar: <technical draw>'s magical smiling baby avatar (like <TD> said, stuff a mouse up his nose and see a smile magically appear on his little face!)

Best historian: <malthrope> (he has a history of setting history right by counting more accurately than other people)

Jan-06-11  Once: Best avatar - patriot.
