Paul Bearer 6,101 Posted November 2, 2009 So there it is.At the moment Mono is in the lead. Saturday at midnight GMT all right as a deadline? Are you allowed to vote for yourself Mono? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monoclinic 39 Posted November 3, 2009 I've only just realised a poll has been added. It was a tough call, Portsmouth and Brussels, a poem after my heart there I feel or was it coincidence? However I'm afraid in true DL style I felt it only apt to vote for my favourite poster of all time, guesty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madame Defarge 21 Posted November 3, 2009 I've only just realised a poll has been added. It was a tough call, Portsmouth and Brussels, a poem after my heart there I feel or was it coincidence? However I'm afraid in true DL style I felt it only apt to vote for my favourite poster of all time, guesty. Who else but Mono could have inspired Portsmouth and Brussels? However, after updating the poem today to reflect the death of Claude, I realized it suffered from, among other things, a shocking lack of squid. Of course, A Childhood Trauma doesn't have them either....but those rhymes are tighter than a clam's arse at low tide. I still haven't decided between that one and the also squidless HCW entry.

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted November 8, 2009 So there you have it. Yvonne wins, albeit without an absolute majority. A number of coalitions would be possible, with or without Yvonne. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deadtowrites 2 Posted November 8, 2009 So there you have it. Yvonne wins, albeit without an absolute majority. A number of coalitions would be possible, with or without Yvonne. So irrefutable proof, if proof were so needed, that Yvonne can continue in her role here on the DL without criticism. Long may we have the pleasure of reading poems about dead animals and Patrick Swayze. Congratulations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
time 8,599 Posted November 9, 2009 Congrats to Yvonne, but can someone check to see if there were several thousand Floridian votes not counted? Surely someone, somewhere appreciates the fine art form of the clerihew? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yvonne 360 Posted November 10, 2009 it looks like a draw to me with six votes each surely ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted November 10, 2009 No, one of the votes for Madame D. came in after the deadline. I certainly didn't fix the competition even if the number of votes cast doesn't tally with the number stated under the poll. I also didn't vote for myself, so I'll agree something fishy must have happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deadtowrites 2 Posted November 10, 2009 What's the prize? Perhaps a horsey Swayze tattoos? As luck would have it, the rainbow feature is quite apt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
