Contest Entry Discussion

[Craig Wallwork]

That's great news. So glad to hear no one is at 1 vote.

*lifts his head skyward*

thanks, guys. I'll pop into the comp thread Tues, methinks. If I have 3+ votes, I can walk away from this with my head held high.

I think everyone in the final heat has enough votes to hold their head high now.

Anyone know the answer to this - how can I look at the contest thread without seeing the polls? I've decided I can't preoccupy my mind continually, and intrusively, with knowing how many points I have, or have not. I remember that until you "view" the poll, it remains in the "select" mode, i.e. not showing the poll results. Does that option automatically get cancelled once you place a vote?

I'm asking because I'm a curious bugger and wondering what you're all discussing in there

While I'm here askign questions, can someone also tell me how you can extend the amount of time you are logged in. I find I type a reply and go to post it, but it's timed out.

Thanks

There's a little box you need to check when logging in, remember me or don't log out (forgot what it says exactly), that fixed the problem for me.

And once you vote you'll always have the results up i believe.

[Draven Ames]

Not sure about it logging you out. I believe you have to see the results, once you have voted.

Love that term, GDI!

[blasko66]

It's so obvious now. Should have figured it out. :-)

It's alright. When my dad first used that term I had to have it explained to me.

Glad I never joined anything in college. I was a GDI. And there were a lot of us.

My college didn't have fraternity's.

[jmcraven]

To touch on hazing, most little boys (that's all I can really speak about) have "clubs" that have some type of initiation. Like taking a dip of snuff, or stealing a parent's cigarette for the group to pass around. Hazing is the same type of thing only carried to a sadistic level.

Same here. I was born and raised up in rural east Texas by a single parent. No interest in a frat (to this day, I'd much rather pull a George Thorogood and drink alone).

Well, I did join a pre-law fraternity in undergrad and then an academic fraternity in law school, but that's different. That's just a lot of people who like to drink alone together.
