We're going to try something new this week. No poll (unless it gets to that point), merely posts nominating your favorite!

Any post in particular stand out to you this week? Was there just a really good one that was your favorite?

Well, nominate it in this thread. Nominations are votes. The question with the most nominations/votes wins this week.

Don't expect this to be a usual thing. I'm just having a really hard time not being humorless lately. So...other people need to use their judgment instead.

Back to normal next week!

The Black Sheep's last question:
http://theboard.byu.edu/index.php?area=viewall&id=57570

Because I've known a lot of addicts, and I hope that some readers who haven't learned something from her answer about what these people are dealing with.

Y'know, if you're gonna do this, you should tell us in advance so that we can be on the lookout as we read. You're now expecting me to remember (or reread) a week's worth of questions! Yipes! ;)

Seriously! I'm not gonna go back and read all of them. [ = That's why I never took up this job when no one was doing it.

Exactly. I am way to lazy to go back and figure out what posted this week. Sorry to dump this back on you, but I personally won't be voting if there aren't choices.

Choices, please? :D

Nah, you don't have to read them again. I didn't say that. Just if any stood out.

But I will tell you that there was only one day that I thought had anything worth choosing (besides TBS's question that has already been mentioned), and that was last Monday. And I didn't feel like that was right. But ... maybe it is, if none of you can think of anything else.

Sheesh.

...turns out even Black Sheep's retirement was on Monday. Okay.

Other options from that day...where does pornography draw the line, mayon-egg, the urinal question, Halloween costumes, how to make your monitor a mirror, refined and elegant person...

They can all be found here..

I vote for mayonegg, just to change things up.

I'd just like to thank C is for for regularly performing a generally thankless job, and what this week has turned into an actively thankless job. I sympathize that it may not have been the easiest week to set up the poll, and thanks for all the previous weeks' work you've done.

Thank you, HM, for reminding us of our place.

I agree. Thanks C, for setting this up every week. You are really awesome for it. Really.

I promise I wasn't complaining. More… a friendly suggestion. For future. Cuz really, I have no memory. Remember how half the time I can't even remember what the questions were unless I go to them and then I'm like, "Oh yeah! I did read that!"? (I think Heartless Siren would die if she saw that punctuation…) I was just saying that taking it one step further after the fact and trying to get me to remember without prompts is less likely that HM admitting that he's not actually humble.

So, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, for all the work you do on this (you can no longer say it's thankless!) If someday in the future you'd like to take a week off (which you deserve) and have us come up with nominations for you, I hereby nominate that you suggest it in advance.

Also, thank you! :)

Oh, I'm not mad at you guys. I'm not even frustrated (except for my CRAZY AGGRESSION right now, but I don't think that's related).

I maybe should've done this differently, but the fact is I didn't know I'd have no options until Sunday night when I went to choose them. (I mean, the Board had great answers, and funny responses, but I try not to choose whole questions based on one funny aside by RP or Gimmy. and the questions themselves were usually pretty boring.) I'm pretty sure it's my problem, but now that I'm, I don't know, handling my humorlessness with more grace I can put the options up in a poll since I think the main attraction is clicking buttons anyway.

Though The Black Sheep's question will probably win anyway. Because we love her.

Thanks for the thanks...

And Gio, I don't think mayon-egg will make the poll. Because CK asked that we forget that question was ever asked.

I voted other. Because I still like the Mayonegg.
