OK, Gang, so many of you were mad that you weren't included in the first poll which found GOSMG waay funnier than Maddi, that we are going to have a re-count, but just once.  Here's the problem.  We have this rather diverse group here, some interesting contributors, some annoying, some interesting, some hilarious, some not funny at all.  I have routinely posted for several years, and the group is very divided  as to whether they find my funny or not. People either love my posts or hate them.  Then we have this person Maddi, who posts occassionally, and has taken the liberty of proclaiming herself the Authority on What is Funny and What is Not.  I personally have never read anything she has posted that has been even mildly amusing.  However, there are actually some in the group who revere her, calling her the Goddess of humor. So it is all sort of interesting, and I think we deserve to figure it out.  The whole debate started last week in the thread I started  called 40 is too old to have a dunking Bunchkyn! in which someone posted how they thought I was really funny, and that set Maddi off and started this huge debate.  Anywaay, heres the rules and voting system: One vote per screen name.  You must vote A,B,C, or D.  Votes must be posted to this thread.  Results announced Friday Feb 16 at 11:59 pm PST, under the heading Results of GOSMG / Maddi humor poll.  Higher score wins, no recounts, no bitching, the loser has to accept it and shut up.  The tribe will have spoken.  Yes Maddi, you can vote for yourself, and I can vote for myself if I want.  Voters may include any commentary you want, but there will be no vote cast if your response is only an insulting stupid message.  Because there are minus points for vote D, the results could be a negative number for either contestant.  I will post the tally each evening this week.  OK gang, here's you chance to weigh in on this important issue, and to finally put it to rest.  If you hate me so bad, let it rip, here's you chance to kick my ass.  If you are sick of Maddi and her snotty arrogant attitude, now you can finally shut her up. VOTE NOW, by choosing one of the following only. A) GOSMG is funnier than Maddi (counts +1 point for GOSMG) Maddi is funnier than GOSMG (counts +1 point for Maddi) C) They are both funny at times (counts +1 point for each) D) Neither of them is funny and this is stupid.  (counts -1 for each GOSMG and Maddi) Let the voting begin!
