Finally finished reading all of the stories and voting in all of the groups.

It was great fun and a great learning experience. Thanks Dan.

It is the 9th night of voting and I fear my sanity is beginning to fracture as the alligator flashes his toothy grin at me. I brace myself for his attack.

“You know, you humans have really become insufferable ever since you shed your tails.” the alligator says while purposely wagging his tail as if to taunt me. “Sadly, you’ve evolved into a bunch of self absorbed ninnies.”

Tiring of the gator’s persistent psychoanalysis over the last 9 days, I ask, “Don’t you have an egg somewhere that needs sitting on?”

“Oh, good to see that you are using that bloated frontal cortex for something useful.” the alligator snorts, “Like mocking a fellow species just because they happen to be oviparous. Yet, what can one expect from a species that evolved from baboons whose idea of entertainment was throwing turds at one other.”

“Well at least we humans are still evolving.”

“Just goes to prove that our species is superior.”

“How’s that?”

“Darwinism doofus.” The reptile replies, “Alligators have been fully evolved for millions of years; hence we’ve achieved perfection, whereas you narcissistic apes still have a long way to go.”

“We are not self absorbed.” I protest.

“You most definitely are. In fact I can prove it. How many times have you checked the polls today?” he asks.

“Not that many.” I argue.

“Your denial is astonishing. Well I counted, and you’ve checked over 30 times.”

Tiring of his prodding, I pull out my Droid.

The alligator laughs. “Hell, you are checking again right now, aren’t you?”

“I’m just checking my email.”

“Liar.”

No, you're thinking of the National Book Awards ceremony.

Ah yes-sorry, I get those confused!

I think it's where a group of men gather in the woods, wearing only loin-cloths and beating on drums while they cry about their relationships with their fathers and hold one another. Then again, I could be thinking of something else.

Have you been watching The Dead Poet's Society again, Caren?

[Craig Wallwork]

Seriously the funniest thing I have read on here!!!! I think I peed a little!

I have that affect on women... actually, it's just "old" women really who need very little encouragement. Who am I trying to kid here... it's mostly vagrants I have that affect on.

And yes, what Richard said about Write Club.

The first rule about write club, is we do not discuss write club :P

2 weeks?! Oh man, every time I log in I adopt that Michael Ironside "Scanner" face, which for those observing is not too far from my sex face. The other day I was checking the polls and my wife walked in, saw my face, and asked, "Are you looking at porn?" 2 weeks. killer.

Win or lose, I can take waiting for Dan to get back from vacation better than I can take looking at the polls like an addict.
