Current Poll

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I encouraged everyone to chose Mr... uhm... ms.. . uh... Freddie Mercury.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Thank you EUOL. Although my choice was different, I salute you.

If Freddy Mercury wins the presidency I will personally come to each of the TWG staff's door(s) and proudly proclaim to them and their neighbors that they support the Plague. You most certainly don't want that on your shoulders.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

actually, I'd like to see you try and make good on that threat. Everyone vote Freddie Mercury.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

But aha, as you have not perceived within your own threat, I did not hereunto post a date unto which I will complete said task. Doesn't mean I can't start taking names now. I do, as of now, have some years to complete my task.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

yes, i thought as much. Weasel.

[House of Mustard]

SE will be happy: Freddy Mercury has been declared President.

New poll's up, and it's pleasantly non-political.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

yay for tormenting Gemm!

[House of Mustard]

Poll's up.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Keeping in mind that Fell lost a baby and nearly a wife I thought,...wow, I really hate the poll this week. Then I thought that I felt a little offended, considering how serious the situation was. So I decided that Im not going to vote.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

well, remember that HoM is Fell's brother, so probably knows a lot more about what is permissible than the rest of us, and the fact that Fell has seemed to be in good spirits, I really don't think it's offensive

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

It just struck me as wrong is all.
If Astrid, had emergency surgery a couple of days ago, after she collapsed on the kitchen floor right in front of me and lost our baby (assuming she was pregnant) I would freak out at something like that.
Freak out.
But I can see how Fell might be different.
Still I dont like it that much and I figured I'd say why.

[stacer]

I see it as comic relief--their family has gone through this very scary thing, and now everything's going to be okay, so they need to laugh about something. Wouldn't you need to laugh about something at a time like that--knowing everything's okay? Perhaps not about the same subject matter, because your sense of humor would be different, etc., but I'd wager you might feel like you need to feel good feelings again.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Oh I do indeed see the need for humor, but its the subject matter for me. Itd be a couple of months before I could laugh at something like that. I'd have put up a poll with the most inappropriate sportscaster comments at the olympics or something... you know something completely 180 degrees from the near tragedy that happened.

I get why it was done. I just dont fell great about participating right now.

[Fellfrosch]

I respect your decision not to participate. I will point out, however, that my wife thinks the poll is hilarious, and voted for the laser pointer.

[EUOL]

You two are a very strange pair of people, Fell.
