Soooo, are we all nominating a quote chosen by the guru winner? Or are we saving that until the next character/games contest? --- If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Then try to find someone whose life has given them vodka. |

I'd rather discuss this contest than whatever was going on in the

this one. --- The Office > you. |

I'm so happy for Peyton. Now, that said, the main draw for the Superbowl to me now is which quarterback will choke first...and that's kinda sad. --- The Office > you. |

Really? The main draw of the Super Bowl for me will be the two weeks
leading up to it? Will Tank Johnson receive a court order that lets him
leave the state? If they do, will he bring artillery down to South
Beach? If he does, will it be to shoot clay pidgeons, or to hunt fans?

Also, the fact that Ceej is already starting to tabulate nominations is
a good sign that MAYBE it won't take forever to get the contest started. --- "I'm only here to see how the story plays out. Any self-respecting leading man would do the same." - Balthier |

Well.... since I have to deal with this contest, I might as well try to
have fun. Leon, did you nominate any Squall quotes besides
"...whatever"? I'm actually a fan of "I dreamt I was a moron" and "Then

excellent! I think I'll avoid this guru contest just because it's such a complete crapshoot.

Are we in agreement that, in addition to the two sigged weeks, the
winner gets to pick one of your noms for the next tournament? I'd think
we'd want to keep doing that, but if people object to losing a
potential Character slot to a "Bonus" Contest like this, I'd understand. Because remember, we do all owe Rufus 1 nom already (Wario or The Secret of Monkey Island). --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |
