DanBuck Report post Posted August 6, 2005 Shameless post to move this to the top of the list again.Any thoughts on when I should close the polls. I was thinking I'd wait until I was in the lead, but um... it looks like that may not happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Kennedy Report post Posted August 6, 2005 So how many are playing? 17 votes as of right now. Quote "During the contest trial, the Coleman team presented evidence of a further 6500 absentees that it felt deserved to be included under the process that had produced the prior 933 [submitted by Franken, rk]. The three judges finally defined what constituted a 'legal' absentee ballot. Countable ballots, for instance, had to contain the signature of the voter, complete registration information, and proper witness credentials.But the panel only applied the standards going forward, severely reducing the universe of additional basentees the Coleman team could hope to have included. In the end, the three judges allowed about 350 additional absentees to be counted. The panel also did nothing about the hundreds, possibly thousands, of absentees that have already been legally included, yet are now 'illegal' according to the panel's own ex-post definition."

DanBuck Report post Posted August 7, 2005 Funny. I have only one entry. And I don't even vote. I let my wife vote. And for the record, she's never voted for me. Let's give this a couple weekdays. I'll call an end to it on Tueday at the end of the workday EST. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattPage Report post Posted August 8, 2005 Having seen all the entries I'm wondering if we picked the wrong picture. (I say this as one who I think voted for this one, and who readily admits his own entry was incredibly lame). I wonder if we picked the funniest picture, rather than the most captionable one. Which I suspect is why, last time I looked, the entry that lets the picture do all the talking ("The Outback: What happens here, stays here.") is winning.Matt Quote Bible Films Blog | Jesus Films Podcast | ReJesus | Faith and Film Critics Circle | Open Heaven Church Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Todd Report post Posted August 9, 2005 I'm surprised that he actually listed mine as one of the entries. Oh well, I didn't vote for me; I was torn between the two leaders.

DanBuck Report post Posted August 10, 2005 See first post for results.By the way, my caption was the one-vote powerhouse about the "hoparazzi."And I'd like to point out, the guy who got us all to vote for this pic got exactly ZERO votes and doesn't like Magnolia.

God is even willing to be anonymous for a time. Remember how God led the Three Wise Men from the East to Christ? The Wise Men did not know the God of Israel or Jesus. They worshipped the stars. So God used a star to lure them."--The Twelve Steps for Christians Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest stu Report post Posted August 10, 2005 Mine was 'The Last Taboo' one. I voted for 'Outback' - shorter is funnier, I now realise. Still, one vote! Can't take that away from me. Page, out with it, which was yours? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattPage Report post Posted August 10, 2005 Mine was the Norway-at-the-Eurovision-song-contest spectacularly null-point-gaining "Say Cheese" I entered it just to get my creative juices running, but found out instead that that pathetic entry was the sum total of my creative juice. So instead I resported to the cycnical method of criticising the choice of picture.

TexasSara Report post Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) As the bridesmaid in this competition, Congratulations TexasSara!←As the bride of the the competition, I say thank you. I didn't have to wait eight years for this engagement. Thank you for all who voted for my caption. Rich, your caption was very funny, probably funnier than mine. Do I still win a t-shirt?

Rich Kennedy Report post Posted August 11, 2005 Rich, your caption was very funny, probably funnier than mine. Not necessarily. Of course, I was rooting for mine, but the minute I saw yours, I knew it would win. My old manager in real estate always said that smart folks borrow, but geniuses steal from the best and that campaign is about the best ad campaign going right now. Quoted everywhere.Do I still win a t-shirt?←Only if you wear it to the wedding.

MattPage Report post Posted August 12, 2005 I didn't realise that was an advertising campaign.
