Then you may leave the playing field in an orderly fashion. You are the weakest link. Bye bye.

No, I don't want to leave. I refuse to "move on".

I do vote and I vote for the best man. I don't want to waste my vote by just voting against some one.

If a person disagrees with the policies of a business, walk away. I don't patronize Sears or buy Tyson Chicken or Hentz Catsup for those very reasons

"Rotsa ruck...

LOL!! favorite phrase of mine.

[Howlin]

Hold on now.......I'll have you know that on "some" (dubious) internet listings, I am NUMBER NINE on the list of biggest A##E# at FR. Number 9! What's a girl got to do to get ahead???????

[tomkat]

laaaaa, lala, la, la, la ...

that the one ?   

[ArneFufkin]

Two bits you can't explain away THAT line, fufkin, -- without putting down the bottle.

Two bits ... well, after considerable thought, some here have concluded that you look exactly like the character featured on the cover of Jethro Tull's Aqualung album. That's you tpaine - gnarled, dissheveled, world beaten, bitter and really quite handsome in your own goblinesque kind of way.

Do you still remember September's foggy freeze?

I guess once the whiners got what they were asking for, the unlimited freedom to be "themselves", they are now wondering what hit them. They came back in strutting like bantam roosters and left plucked chickens. Beware unintended consequences.

I prefer: Huck Fillary

[Cyber Liberty]

Date me, that's what. There are entire internet forums devoted to that subject.

[Mo1]

Clever

[ArneFufkin]

Mo, who knows? I do know FR hired a credit card authorization service, 'bout time. Does that seem plausible to you? I don't believe it is some sudden philisophical epipheny on the part of Joe.

[TigersEye]

The one what? 8-I

[Howlin]

Well, I'll date you, but I am NOT marrying you.

You'll find me very easy to get along with. Why, if you play your cards right, I won't even have to file legal proceedings against you when you get tired of my rantings and lies and move on.

[tomkat]

OR

?

[Cyber Liberty]

Sounds good. And damned accurate, too. I don't wanna drop another $4K.

[Cultural Jihad]

[Mo1]

I guess ...

For now .. I think I just need a drink ..LOL

[harpo11]

BADJOE, I know nothing. What has been happening? I do not understand what this is all about?

[ArneFufkin]

Number nine isn't bad Howlin. You've got a lot of upside potential, lady. Knocking Sinkspur out of spots 1-6 is going to be a challenge but ...

OFFICIAL JUDGES' POST:
Psst: we're rolling in entries and can expect more tomorrow.
So far, entries are: 1037, 1013, 965, 954, 887, 886, 870, 764, 762, 752, 738, 736, 724, 680, and 667.

Don't worry, I'm keeping a running list and what I'll do around 7 p.m. (expect not to be home at 5 pm) is post them in a new thread called the Judges' Thread or something and line them all up in a row. Then I'll ping ya'. Then we can wander about in that thread and make comments and any interlopers that want to make comments can. But I'd just note, since we have so many willing participants, please freepmail me and tell me how you and I want to make your final discussion by 10 p.m. tomorrow. I suppose we can discuss by Freep mail.
