    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

Just wondering who gets to vote twice, must be something special (wouldn't contemplate anything crooked)... And if my flip phone ever quits, maybe I'll get one of those computerized camera phones with that TV screen and figure how to do pictures.
 
Here's how I reconstruct the events:
rich correctly reported the count, a three-way tie between baat and gus and dork

but then rich invited baat to vote, and I'm assuming rich didn't register that baat had already voted

and baat gave the win to gus

meaning that dork was dissed (unintentionally, I'm sure)
and the folks who voted for baat and dork were disenfranchised (again, unintentionally, I'm sure) (disenfranchised: rphil and kfunk and rich and murd)

At this moment, the next theme is in gus's hands,
and I'd say if dork wants to grab the trophy while gus is occupied, so be it.

Whaddya say, dorkburger, you want the honor which was taken from you?

(skip to 18 seconds)
 
Mea Culpa. :dispirited: I don’t recall how it exactly transpired. But we were all sitting around discussing it at the time. Me, Bob, Scott M, Norm. Don’t remember if Dave or Scott B were there at the moment when the crime occurred.

In Bob’s defense. There was bourbon. And another mysterious clear liquid in a nondescript wide-mouthed jar making the rounds last night.


I think an honorary win ought to go to rphillips for calling me out.

Hey funki, Could you explain that once more, I got kind'f confused somewhere between the assuming, disenfranchised and unintentional. One more time & I think I'll get it.

Three way tie

Rich invited Bob to vote
Bob had already voted

Bob's vote gave the win to gustovh

In a two-way tie, that would be perfectly fine, and in fact we see it regularly, one of the tied folks gives the win to the other.

In a THREE-way tie,
Bob giving the win to gustovh essentially meant that whoever voted for dorkburger got ignored (disenfranchised)

AND JUST TO REITERATE, we're all cool here, nobody is intentionally dissing anybody, and nobody should have hurt feelings
 
I’m sitting here with Scott Marvin marvinsc (he has not voted, he swears, and I checked. He is casting the tie breaking vote for gustovh. Done deal.
 
Surely nobody had a problem with any of it, Heck I's just saw a chance to stirring the pot for a laugh or two.... We ain't allowed to seriously argue around here, that's what the Vortex is for...Sorry for Bob, he thought he was special enough to be able to vote twice, then he got the rug snatched out from under him....

NO..That's not what happened, and you know it. If you had read the previous posts you would know that.
 
The instructions were, vote early and vote often, which imply more than one vote. Now can we get on with it?

Apology to Bob, I'm all in jest, I's first making fun of Rich for missing your 1st vote. I'd hope we would all see his slight oversite as something to chuckle about. Hope nobody here would ever think my comment about you being special was serious, you just happened to be the one Rich overlooked. All just poking and stirring hoping for giggles. But I do seriously love your interpretation of "practice", & seriously think you should have got more votes, then been required to pick this weeks theme instead of shoving it off on Gustov.... Apologies to anybody I have or am gonn'a get stirred in a neg. way...
 
Hey all, just catching up. Last week I was as busy as an HVAC tech during a heat wave.... because I'm an HVAC tech. 18 hour day on Saturday, catch up on Sunday of the things at home I didn't do on Saturday, etc.
