Well, I figured I'd save y'all grief by putting this poll up. I've set it to unlimited so it'll be fair for everyone. Basically, the way I see it, you both tie when it comes to the best of the best. I've learned a lot from each of you, respectively. Sorry if I didn't vote for you, it was difficult to choose.

I respect both the moderators. They don't get paid for what they do and it is a lot of work.

I like both.

Avery fights for our right to party.

Utah makes sure the party goes well beyond moderation.

And the person who isn't nominated yet, they just take up space on the couch.

I respect both the moderators. They don't get paid for what they do and it is a lot of work. 

- Agreed.

Actually, I voted for Avery.  You know all those magazine articles she writes?  Totally not something I was interested in or would have been good at.  WAR?  I'm a good pimp, but Avery keeps it running smooth.  I play a decent game of whack-a-troll, but as far as actually bolstering this site, I go with Avery over me every time.

And that one vote down there at the bottom:  you can come clean up after me after I shave my pubes next time. 

Not because I resent you, but because I hate doing it myself.

Well, this is the weirdest thread of the day. RoaringJen - you puzzle me.

For the record, I voted for Utah, just because I thought it would be funny. What with him being a nemesis of mine and all.

In reality, Jess is the only choice. Utah has baby shit under his fingernails these days, which is a bit grim.

I'm sorry, but if there is a "new" defender, doesn't that mean I get fired/demoted or something?

Sorry, Sound, can't add anymore, I don't want AD to be mad at me. This was to make Utah and averydoll feel better because they couldn't battle since they have tons of stuff going on. Taking the pressure off, hopefully.

 

 

    Well, this is the weirdest thread of the day. RoaringJen - you puzzle me.

I puzzle everyone. I think y'all just put up with my queerness.

Well, I sort of wanted to battle based on writing ability, not our ability to delete bot posts.

Edit: Or on our ability to randomly edit other people's posts. You see what I did there?

Xoxoxo,

Are those randomly edited posts because they're offensive or because they're offensive on a deeply personal level?

I voted for Andy Taylor because Barney really would make a lousy sheriff. Of course, Andy hired Barney, so that kinda makes him lousy at personnel. And it's funny that little Opie Cunningham gets higher billing than Barn, and they don't even mention Aunt Bee in the intro, so what the fuck's up with that? I miss Ellie Walker.

So where were we?
