Did he move to Texas and forget to update his profile? ???

No, he moved to NY and is only pretending.

But now, thanks to modern telecommunications, I'm actually in a completely different solar system. ;D

Now that you've cast the only appropriate vote ;D, I might as well tell you: you were looking for "the opera lady." 0:)
How do we tell between the two Texans? One might be leeching the other's votes! :o

Nah, at this point in the returns, they are both equally disliked. :D

Yeah, I'm not getting much mileage for recommending all those HIP
Stravinsky Stockhausen (just saw Karl's post) recordings. ;D

Tinkered with the poll a bit.

Dave,
Please reset the voting so that I may vote for "the opera lady". ;)
Gurn voted for himself, methinks. $:) $:)
That's not Gurn's style at all, at all, ChN.

True enough, I don't vote until the decision is already made, then I vote for the loser. In this case, I actually may end up
having to vote for myself... :'( ;D

Every vote for "all of the above," is a vote for you, Gurn.

For what it's worse Gurn, I thought you were the Polish dude. :-[

Hmmm, I hadn't looked at that angle before,
Karl. Thanks!

I am more than a bit surprised that the Texan only had one vote. :o
Now he has two. 0:)

No, though Gurn is a well-known Polish name, I can see why you would think that. :D

Hey, have you heard the one about the Scotsman, the Polish guy, the Dutch dude, the opera lady and the 2 Texans?
:D

No, but if you hum a few bars...
They all do more or less a splendid job, and for that I salute them all. :)

Agreed, Harry. :)
For those about to mod, we salute you!
I hate to rain on your parade, but I am not English. Any vote for me will therefore be officially a wasted vote. But under the transferable system I pick up half of everyone else's votes. I think that is a total of one so far; WAY TO GO.

I think pictures of the moderators would help the voters. 0:)

That angel isn't fooling me Dave. You just want to see pictures of scantily clad opera lady..........I think.

But they might not help the moderators. You might clamour for more photogenic ones. So, we think perhaps not until after the vote has closed, then we promise that opera lady butt naked.

Well, what the hell are you then?
A popular moderator is a weak moderator! >:D

No, though Gurn is a well-known Polish name, I can see why you would think that. :D
Though, of course, Blanston is typical French (with an accent on the last syllable, Blan
ston).
Quote from: Maciek on June 25, 2008, 10:36:52 AM
Though, of course, Blanston is typical French . . . .
A settlement in Pennsylvania which was burnt down in the French and Indian Wars, I think.
What the hell am I? A nice way to interrogate your co-member!
I am Scots.
Now, pay attention to the new Mod inspired strapline at the bottom of my post. Warning, the mods are getting a little cranky.

I think I knew that once upon a time but somehow I changed my mind. I was pretty darn close though. ;D
Put down that kilt-pin!
Not being named "Willie" threw me.

BTW, remind me: was it Gurn, who is the only mod with the ability to manually alter poll results? ;)
Eeeee! He wouldn't! :o

Now to many a Scot,
that would be fighting talk; but I am very sanguine. I even married an English woman and have an English son.

Do you mean 'Wullie'?
I am starting to think it is going to have to be the Bloody Haggis Head at the bottom of your bed when you awake tomorrow.

Well, I know two other Scottish guys and they're both named Willie.
One of them is on the Simpsons. ;D

So you actually know
one other Scottish guy. ;D
I saw footage of John Cleese impersonating a Scot, once . . . .
A priest, a rabbi and a protestant pastor walk into a bar and the bartender says, "what is this, some kind of joke?"
;D
I've read a couple Ian Rankin novels so I'm practically Scottish by association!

In the context of the joke, yes. :P
The opera lady. I have no idea who she is, but ladies come always first.
Val! So nice to become acquainted - and be appreciated! - by a gentleman! :-*

What is the difference between "Scots" and "Scotch"? I used to the latter...but it is always interesting to learn.

One of the twain is generally found in, but seldom long confined to, a bottle.
It was a really close call between two of them. But I'm not saying which two ... or how I voted (that would just start a riot ;D).
