Can we vote more then once? Because if we’re only allowed to vote once there are far to many selections and not enough people here to vote. May I suggest at least 5 votes each, then we can whittle it down to the top 5. Food for thought.

I don’t have any control over that, unfortunately. The poll software doesn’t give me that option.

"Those Bastards!”

Waterhouse: I was going to resolve to kill fewer prostitutes. As I did not kill any prostitutes in 2006 (or, indeed, ever) this would be difficult, however.

I was thinking about this quote just the other day. Once again I’ve let a year go by without fulfilling my obligations.

At this point, though, I’d have to start bringing them back to life.

Because they weren’t doughnuts. Yeast balls differ greatly from doughnuts. It’s like comparing angels to men. Donuts are light and heavenly. Every little bubble in a donut is an angel’s wish being breathed into the confection. Yeast balls require yeast to rise for their shameful, mortal pantomime. Still, yeast balls have free will.

Ooh, faulkner in nothing but short pants. That’s HOT. ... Or should i say, that’s amusing, and arousing, and unexpected, like the moon seen at mid-day over the yawning Okeechobee swamp, where the tall cyprus and the dense moss ordinarily make a mockery of the sun, or like the french fried potatoes at Bill Gettyson’s cafe, which are not as soggy as you’d expect them to be nor as crisp as you’d like, or like the beauty mark on my ass which is near to the crack but not on it, which, seen from a mirror, vaguely resembles Spiro Agnew; all these things are like that remark but not OF it, as near a proximity as I can succinctly put.

So when is Round II?

Everything that got at least one vote this time around should be up for the second time around.

You know, I think you can vote twice if you’re not logged in. But I’m going to leave round 1 up for a while to make sure we get all the votes from random visitors who are bored.

Hooray for bored visitors!
