I'm not campaigning for it or anything...but allow me to point out that if I was chosen as King, I could refer to myself as:

Ecks, Rex

which would be so cool it would immediately enhance the stature of the SDMB, and all those who gather here, within the Internet Community.

Just a thought.

If Diane wins, I would not mind, but otherwise I prefer to remain a lowly Baron.

We should have a communal society that elects a sort of "executive officer" for the week. I nominate SingleDad.

Money...favors...whatever. I wanna see how creative you guys can be

(Although if you offer a monetary bribe, I will have to wait for your check to clear before my vote is cast. I'm sure you all understand.)

When I first looked I thought I saw THAT post, I thought Jennie was admitting to being in the trade...(now I realize otherwise), but suppose I bought you for oh...say $39.99, i'll do it but ONLY under the condition that you buy me back for $39.99. Deal?


I am drunk.

Oh, hell, Jeannie, I can up the ante on THAT. I will scour Bartlett's quotations or the entire works of Shakespeare (or Francis Bacon or whoever the hell he was) to shower you with immortal praise for the very precious flower of womanhood that you are!!

I'm torn:

Wally or Arnie or Ike?
They're three guys I certainly like . . .
Wally's a sport and he makes my heart race;
Arnie's as funny as Joan Rivers' face—
But Ike has my address and always packs mace!
Which one do I vote for; which two do I spike?
Wally or Arnie
Wally or Arnie
Wally or Arnie or Ike?

Hmm...if you're going to misquote me (and get my name wrong), at least make a better offer

Oh, and we can deal here, but I want a discount, m'kay?

Oh, yes. The old "make-the-ladies-think-you-might-be-gay-but-you-might-not-and-a-special-woman-like-her-might-be-just-the-ticket-to-bring-out-my-studliness".

Works every time.

Err..so I hear.

I'm pulling a JohnLarrigan and voting multiple times. Soulsling gets a vote for the tireless work in the Prom Queen race, and for voting for me. JohnLarrigan gets a vote, because I ripped off his voting method, and also because he, too, is the coolest kid on the block. And Dry gets half a vote, simply because he quotes so much Shakespeare. Yea, I know, it's via Barrlett's, but it doesn't matter. Quoting Billy S. is quoting Billy S.

Actually, it's not all via Bartlett's. Some plays (all the English history plays, as well as Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Othello, Romeo and Juliet), I know pretty well. And I don't look them up via Bartlett's but online.

A very good source for Shakespeare's text's can be found at http://tech-two.mit.edu/Shakespeare


But the romances and some of the more obscure non histories (Love's Labor Lost, Cymebeline)..yeah, it's Bartlett's. (I'm starting to run out of Bartlett's quotes, by the way)

I'd quote from the Lion in Winter more often, but my VCR is on the fritz , and I don't have my copy of the screenplay at work, which is where I often post.

Thanks for the half vote , even if Slythe didn't count it!

Another pathetic attempt to seperate the wheat from the chaff here. However, aren't you supposed to nominate people first & then vote?

If you were here I would sing my favorite Bloodhound Gang song for you.

I still think the men should line up and dance for us.
