THIS IS A POLL!!!!!
--that's an excellent point Tim... I just looked for a way to edit/delete this since no one has voted, but there isn't. I might be able to flag it as offensive and have one of the admins take it down. Then reopen a new one. Not sure though, anyone have any ideas outside of caps lock and excalmation points?
I think, for those of us that vote, we know this is the poll. I say leave it as it is. It's like a little secret society that only a select few are privy too.
@David: Any word on this being coded into the site? And someone mentioned brackets, I think Avery(?). Great idea.
@R.Moon, Kirk is monitoring how we actually use the battle system before doing any coding. He said--rightly so, from my experience in IT--that although they wanted to include the feature in the site initially, it's tricky to code before they figure out how people actually use it. Also, secret society. We need a handshake.
@averydoll, we can do a match up system. We've already got a few battles completed, maybe we just start pairing off the winners with the winners and the "losers" with the "losers" and kind of keep this rotating for people that are interested in staying in the ring. We could probably keep track of that in the thread.
I like the brackets idea. I guess who ever can use Excel and is familar with brackets can get us started. I vote the responsibility is laid on David though (sorry David) so he can decide who to match up in the bracket.
The workshop is busy so I know their is plenty of potential contenders. So if you're lurking the battle thread, show us what you've got.
I'll get to reviewing and voting on your guy's pieces soon!
That is why Mark already agreed to buy us a waffle. No drinks though. And no syrup either. And only he gets chocolate chips on his. Damn that would be so cool. The F*ck am I talking about? Can I just read the pieces and then vote and then go back and write reviews later, I seem to waste my time rambling and can't get anything productive done?
You know that is another thing, I think there should be an exception to putting a question mark at the end of a sentence if the sentence doesn't end in a damn question.
"Do you want to do this heroin with me, I mean I cut it with drywall dust but it will still get us pretty high?"
See I mean it starts with a question which would technically need a "?" but it doesn't seem like a question on the second part of the sentence. The comma is overrated. I mean look what a comma can let a sentence get away with. It's preposterous. And why does a writing site have a spell check, we should be forced to used dictionaries? Maybe it's the same concept though. I know I usually don't remember how to spell the word because I can always spell check it again. And when will "?!" be a valid quotation? I think I need to sleep...
Haha, I was aware that the metaphor was a double sided blade there. But sorry Doll, maybe you can take the neglect and let it blossom and you can become a social worker and write a memoir and enter it into a writing competition. Oh crap, you're not a social worker are you? Well, its a vicious circle.
Seriously though, I haven't felt this bad about voting since I was on an American Idol binge.
It is hard to find!! I wanted so much to find this one clip where a man and woman are on a road trip, and the man clearly hates the woman...obviously I don't remember much about it...but what I do remember is the following:
Man: Want to hear my impression of a walrus? (Makes weird walrus-like noise) *whispers* the walrus is you!
I say that to people all the time. I have never gotten a laugh, because no one knows what the fuck I'm talking about, and I refuse to explain it.
