Democracy Prevails Again
By Brent Diggs on May 12, 2008 in Humor
The voting was fierce, the voters were fiercer, but in the end the best man prevailed.
As did the best woman.
That’s right ladies and captioneers, we have a tie. Although in this case, to be more gender neutral, we should probably call it a scarf. Anyway we have neckware and so we must decide what, aside from fighting terrorism, to do with it.
It might help in the decision making process to point out that this particular tie is between Don Lewis of It’s a Funny Thing and Lynn of the blogless legions known only as Citizens For More Comma And Make It Snappy.
Winner # 1: “Another Satisfied DONCO Art School Graduate!”
Winner #2 “Rainbows are pretty, even in black and white.”
To further narrow down the decision, I might point out that while Lynn has offered me nothing but gratitude and admiration, Mr. Lewis has just recently attempted a forceful eviction of myself from my very own blog.
On the other hand however, he does wear a lot of plaid.
“Don really has style.” - Ruckus MacMullit of DangerCouch
Normally I would hand the matter, as well as and both participants over to merciful attentions of Doctor Harold Toboggans, but thankfully no one has seen our own personal pestilence since Don and LOBO hijacked my beloved Comma.
I am of course keeping a sharp eye out for his return.
Mainly so I can bar door.
But enough about him, here are the results for your consideration.
The real question is what do you get two people who have everything, at least in the way of punctuation-based, net-borne, wit-tickling, entertainment.
Personally, I was thinking of a matching set of ‘his’ and ‘hers’ trebuchet tours of the Niagara region, but as always, I am open for suggestions.
And subscriptions.
-Happy Monday and heartfelt congratulations to our winners and every one who played.

Ah crap I forgot to vote. I feel bad because I was the swing vote and I would have chosen the caption by…
Braille?
I would like to just point out that if Dr.T were here, he would most likely advise you to give it to Don. I for one am most at peace with his absence and have been partying since his demise…er, I mean disappearance. Thanks to all the intelligent, wonderful, and basically full of great taste individuals that voted for me. The squirrel and I truly thank you.
So who wrote your caption: you or squirrel?
Can I vote NO!?
No.
I myself am rather disturbed by the findings on the map:
#1) Geez, how obvious is it which one I voted for when nobody else in my state voted? What ever happened to anonymity?
#2) If Diesel garnered 3.7% of the votes, where is the green balloon representing that vote? He tied with The Mrs and her vote came from TX…
#3) What about Creechman? Will nobody vote for the underdog? Did he not find his own comment worthy of his own vote? Has his self-esteem been hijacked by Dr. T? (not to be confused with Mr. T, of course)
Allow me to explain, in reverse order:
3.) Creechman was utilizing the fire and forget caption system whereas 2.) Diesel prefers stealth vote technology.
1.) As for you being open and exposed as the single vote from your state/our state/the underwater state, you simply must recruit more active readers through out the Northwest region to disguise your participation in the democratic process.
Happy Wednesday.
It’s really quite simple: just make them arm-wrestle for it. In Jell-O. While wearing g-strings.
…and then post the YouTube link.
Oh not that again.
I don’t really know if YouTube’s servers are up to the strain.
Their stringent jello filters are easily clogged by this sort of thing.
Please, don’t ask me how I know.
It goes to the Superdelegate(s) to decide. I’m one, and I think there are others. Do you know the secret call?
If elected, I refuse to serve.
But what if the people really really needed you?
Don’t worry Don, that’s we have waitresses for.
A generous tip would be appropriate, if elected that is.
Isn’t there some sort of code or union regulation against revealing your secret identity?
If your superdelegancy if openly known, how do you ever get the candidates off of your lawn?
Hehe..I am not sure I understand the first one. I do like the black and white rainbows too!
Well…JEFF
If that really is your name; You appear to be PRETTY chummy with Lynn.
Rainbow lover.
But whether you understand it or not, it’s too late. My clever use of voting by proxies has already assured me of the award! BWAHAHAHA!
I’m simply awaiting the fabulous prize that has made the abrogation of my personal morals (such as they are.) worth it.
Still waiting…
Prize…prize…hmm, seems likes I had something prizish around here somewhere….
Half can of Spam? -Still need it.
Paper mache doormat? -Never make it intact.
Solid Jello frisbee? -Maybe if I scrape off the mold…
I demand a recount!
Were there any hanging chads? If not, I demand Chad be hung right now for this outrage.
I second that! At the very least, we won’t have to suffer any more of those cell phone commercials.
Damn, fourth place again.
Thanks to all those that voted for me (not including my wife and kids).
Congrats to the winners!
hahaha! It’s ok Jay! for me, you are the winner.
