Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) I'd have to write a new poem.... Oh, come on, Old Dog. Is that hard For such a clearly awesome bard? This really is a situation To enhance your reputation. I must confess, I find it odd To hear from our beloved Mod That there are those that will not vote And who are just content to note Results from others at their task But seriously, I have to ask - Just what kind of Devil's minion Cannot form their own opinion? Finally, there is good news: Should you be lacking for a muse I'm sure the ladies here on CERB Will help you with your latest blurb.

Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 Dear Phaedrus is a kindred bard, And CERB, his artist's palette, He seeks solutions, not so hard, To deal with next month's ballot. The ladies, all deserving praise, Should never have to run, Against a phantom in the haze, We know her now as Nun. So why not let the pollsters see, As KubrickFan doth note, The outcome of democracy, Without the waste of vote. Solutions? We have found just one, And all of us are grinning, Remove the option of the "none", Just let us see who's winning!!!! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 I thought I'd had the final word, That no more poems were pending It seems my wishes were not heard - I pray there'll be an ending! And so, once more unto the breach I drag my weary fingers While inspiration's in my reach And an idea still lingers. Another thought occurs to me I hope my words are heeded; A solution, plain to see Which will achieve what's needed. To deal with this spoiler 'None' And you may think this wise Perhaps she could be made to run Against all of us guys? And before I call it a night One thing cannot be stayed: It seems to me, clear as daylight - WE REALLY MUST GET LAID! So, ladies, will you hear our pleas Before things become worse? 'Cos if we do not get some fun We'll have to write more verse. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 Heh. We shall have to create a new thread for future outbreaks of silly doggerel. They can clear that up with penicillin... but we do digress. I nominate ... THE MOD, international man of mystery, bon vivant, and the Emperor of the CERB star.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 It's funny. I never cared for poetry in school. But this stuff I love reading! That's probably because the poetry you read in school was written by people who took themselves way too seriously. I'm sure Old Dog and I have many faults, but we can't be accused of that one!

Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted August 24, 2011 FYI... The none of the above is on the vote because if you do not wish to vote for ANY of the nominees but want to monitor who is winning the poll by voting for none of the above it lets you see the results. Without this we may get BAD votes of people just randomly choosing someone so that they can see the results. Non-voters could just click on the "View Poll Results" link, of course. "None of the above" seems to carry a taint of negativity. If folks don't care enough to vote for anyone in particular, then sure - provide an opt-out. Maybe let them vote "I have no preference", or for "all of the above". To my ear, that might help non-votes to sound a bit more positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135639 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 i wasnt seeng what the problem was until now... i never considered that to be negative but i see it now (feeling a little slow) ok.... so i will word it better for the vote.. maybe "all of the above" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 .. maybe "all of the above" I think allowing only one choice per voter is adequate :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NotchJohnson 214123 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 I want to take this time to thank all who nominated me for the poll, it is very much appreciated and makes me feel good to be part of this fine community. I have reviewed all the names of those nominated and can't think of any other ladies to add on to the list but will add a gentlemen to the list. I would like to nominate silverado17 he has shown his support and comments on many threads and he well deserve to be on this list. To everyone good luck and don't forget to vote.
