I will safty for TAN for now. I just went to the library today and got a bunch of good books. Now I am looking foward to sitting on my bed and having an exellent night of reading.
I'm on Braingle far too long, I stay on the computer from dusk to dawn. Playing games and chatting with friends, the novelity of it never ends.

4WHEELS, i am so jealous. I wish I could spend some quality time with a book right now!! Instead I am studying for midterms!
saftey for 4WHEELS, be back later!

Seems like a reasonable rule, MATHGEEK. I guess I'll just place a random safety for FAITH.
If you don't have a dream, how will your dream come true?

This should come as no surprise to anyone in the game with whom I regularly play; as is my custom, I will place my vote on JAYO.
Jealous of any of you who can sit and read a book. Of all the things I miss about being able to see, reading is at the top of the list. You would never find me without at least one book close at hand, the back seat of my car was littered with books all the time as I was usually reading 4-5 books at any given time. I do have an e-reader and several tablets that allow me to read (with the font set to extra huge) but somehow it just isn't the same.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

4WHEELS is a good bet for now. Voting accordingly.
Happy ever after in the marketplace, Desmond lets the children lend a hand. Molly stays at home and does her pretty face, and in the evening she's the singer with the band!

Well we need someone who posts smiley faces a lot or is always happy. I don't know 4WHEELS very well, but I will saftey 4WHEELS

Glad the game got started...
Are we wanting a majority the first round? Just straight up clear one person at a time? Cuz so far it looks like at least a small one is starting for 4WHEELS...
Will temporily vote for HABS to stay out of the majority for now... Turn around as fair play for him getting me in the last game...
As for the book discussion, it's been a while since I've sat down and just read... Ironically, the guy who cut our grass today hit our Satellite dish, so no TV tonight (well, live tv)... So maybe I'll take this inspiration and read something tonight (oh, who am I kidding - I still have the internet)...
Will check back later...
Five-by-Five...

Not that the boss would be able to answer without giving away who they are, but by 'smiley', do you think they mean an actual smiley face or just any sort of emoticon?
If you don't have a dream, how will your dream come true?

MATHGEEK - are we supposed to be doing the smiley thing too or just the capitals?

Under the News section of MATHGEEK'S post it says "Psych has been released, and the answer has been added to the pool of potential rules," so we don't have to follow the smiley face rule...yet. For now I'm going to safety vote for FLEETWOOD just because I heard a fleetwood mac song today. That lol in the memo stood out to me just because I don't think I've ever seen one in a memo before. I don't think it really says anything, I just found it weird.
I'll just vote for JAYO for now. It rhymes with mayo....i don't like mayo...

Fair enough FAITH, it wasn't so much knowing you were boss. It was knowing that everyone else wasn't. As Sherlock says
"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." I knew who wan't the boss (SIRHAR for instance) so once we figured that out, figuring out who it was, was easy. BTW - I am female not male.

Haha FLEETWOOD - we have had that discussion before, I believe it was Rhy and me - or another one of the old fogies on the site. You must know who Stevie Nicks is? I am trying to think of a song of theirs you'd know - "Go Your Own Way"; and "Don't Stop" are two I am sure you'd know if you heard them.

And you only need to caps names of PLAYERS. In this game. So your caps of SirHar is not needed.

LOL MATH - we're coming back 3 straight! Really I have no illusions that the hbs will go that far, but as long as the Make BeLeafs don't get any further I am good with it. Living where I do, most of my friends have poor taste in hockey and are Leaf fans. I'll never live it down.

Thaks MATH, I like you too. I do have to say the Sens were a class act with that kid from Montreal who wore her Ottawa jersey to school. Way impressed with the way the team handled it.

I saw that as well.
Really surprised at how the principal handled it though. "Violation of Dress Code"? Really?

The students were told they could wear a jersey instead of their uniforms, at no pont was it specified it had to be a Canadiens jersey. I applaud the kid for sticking to her principles too. That can't be easy at 10.

I think it will now be easy for kids when they know there's hockey tickets as redemption.

yeah don't think that will be the usual result. And although of course I want to see the Habs win, I was glad they lost that game. Gives the kid some redemption at school the next day! Not only did she get first class treatment (and probably seats not normally available to us mere mortals) but she got to see her team win.
Not sure how the Sens big-wigs found out about it, but once they did they sure stepped up to the plate and did right by the kid and her family.

i had put a safety vote for FLEETWOOD on my way in. i think it'll stay there unless someone builds up a majority.

I'll pop a safety vote for BUU now, won't vote Habs as I don't think voting loops are a sane way to go about business in WTB

Who is going for the Leafs? I DESPISE them! On FB I have an entire photo album dedicated to how much they suck!
HP is a Leaf fan, but not sure who else is. The Habs suck too, but at least they've won the Cup in my lifetime (6 times in fact).
FAITH - I knew you were just playin' I was just pointing out that I was female. I'm not bothered by it. I've made the same mistake about others

Haha HABS, Yes we have this discussion a lot. I don't know either of those songs, except well.. possibly don't stop.. I'm not sure..
@MATHGEEK: suppose a person gets a strike. so is there any way they can make the strike disappear again?

FLEETWOOD - I am sure you'd know it if you heard it :

Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone."

it doesn't stay in baseball. once you hit and run to the next base, the strike disappears. that's what i know.

^Double meaning
I'm on a computer now so I finally know what you all mean when you say the formatting gets messed up.
Happy ever after in the marketplace, Desmond lets the children lend a hand. Molly stays at home and does her pretty face, and in the evening she's the singer with the band!
