Wow, some people really went nuts here. I went home after work yesterday and when I came back this morning, there’s four pages of crap here. I am officially no longer keeping score. Everyone can sort this out for themselves. ---

Ok, here’s the scores so far (That’s right, I lied earlier! What are you gonna do about it? It’s my thread, isn’t it? :p): pepperlandgirl: 100 points (cuz you tire me by posting so much, I don’t wanna count) everyone else: 99 points (close game, huh?) Shayna: 500 points (so does this make up for me not voting for you as Prom Queen?) I guess I should’ve made some kinda rule so we know when the game is over. Oh well, you people are smart enough to figure it out. ---

BratMan, as the one who made this thread, do you realize the posts you made don’t contain any questions? Don’t you hate it when people make you get off the computer just because it’s 12:30? Did anyone notice I was gone for an entire half day? And finally: where is my McDonalds? ---

> [@](#): > > \*\* > BratMan, as the one who made this thread, do you realize the posts you made don’t contain any questions? > \*\* Wasn’t it obvious I wasn’t playing the game at the time? (TIMEOUT - Yes, my previous two posts and this one are made only in the capacity as scorekeeper, and not meant as part of the game. However, since I didn’t call a timeout first, iampunha gets 100 points for calling me on it. Current score: pepperlandgirl - 100 pts iampunha - 199 pts Shayna - 500 pts everyone else - 99 pts ---

BratMan, shouldn’t you have called timeout last post? Or did I miss you calling it? At any rate, should I be happy I’m second to Shayna? Would I get more points of I gave her an overdue vote for Prom Queen, despite the fact that I never went to a prom and don’t much care who gets the votes (because it is a popularity contest, not based on beauty)? How do we nominate this thread for the official threadspotting thingy on the SD main page? ---

Do you really think your vote would count now that the election has been decided? Do you have a problem with Shayna being Prom Queen? What ever happened to one quesiton per post? ---

What makes you think I can read, BratMan? And when did you ever say anything about only one question per post? And why the hell can’t I suck up to Shayna? Isn’t it more worth my time than sucking up to you? ---

Discussion of human nature is philosophical. Philosophy counts as rhetoric in my book. Kat, if you had any points, you would lose 10 for that.) ---
