It is too damn hot + User Info Competition Voting! (Diaries)

llimllib's Diary

Way too damn hot. I was going to play basketball, but I'm sweating just from typing. I had to move my stuff 300 yards from my summer room assignment to my fall one, and it was just about the worst possible day to have to do so.

Vote in the exciting finale of the user info competition. Will the state of my mental faculties sway the judges? Tex's self-referential quotes take the day? APA's American spirit win the field? Duxup's, uh, cute something, stun the field? edo's defiant proclamation of lonely homosexuality overcome the crowd?

Only you can decide.


Here are the contestants:

Just for full disclosure, my vote is for yatco's tip of the hat.

Hey, this sucks (5.00 / 1) (#11)

We should divide the total vote percentage by the number of user accounts each votee receives.

So, Tex's 47% should be like 47/24, which is an adjusted rating of 2.

Mine would be 11% and then 11/1, which is 11.

I win!

rules is rules. Dupe accounts are legal on k5, as are they in my diaries. If you send me a self-addressed stamped envelope, though, I'll give you your percentage (1/37) * 4 = $.10.

Peace.

Go Tex (5.00 / 2) (#7)

that bayou quote is pure brilliance.


All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.
So, as I just told APA (none / 0) (#6)

The winner will be receiving one American dollar. The winner will be the person with the most votes at 3:00 PM EST tomorrow. I will write a diary asking them for their contact info.

Peace.

You know you drive me up the virtual wall
The way you make good for all the nasty trolls you pull
Seems like we're givin' fives more than we're smokin' dub
And it always seems you've got Ru$ty on your mind
But not me
Girl, you gotta change your K5 ways - you hear me?

Oh, shit, anyway, what I wanted to ask, um, was, well, what does the winner get?!

I, at this moment, promise to mail the winner one fresh american dollar. Or maybe it won't be fresh, but shit, it'll be an american dollar. The winner will be decided tomorrow at 3:00, and I will ask for their contact info in a diary.


Peace.

I gave it up around page 590, then pissed all over it, poured lighter fluid on it, lit it on fire and danced around it while the flames illuminated my madly screaming face. I may have to buy another copy, I don't think this one's salvageable.


Peace.

I never give people props for being funny... except tex bigballs... so take this as a very high honor.... I'm sure you wouldn't have got that 5 though if i hadn't been drinking lager all day.
