[Reply #40 on:]

Vote cast for Gocad!

[Reply #41 on:]

I see Faze has gotten several votes, those PEELers should be named and shamed.

[Reply #42 on:]

I wanted to vote for BirthdayClown but he is not in the poll

[Reply #44 on:]

The day Birthday Clown wins a POTM is the day I win a PEELie.

Juliet, sometimes I think you're the smartest person here.
And that makes me laugh.

1BDI. And if anyone disagrees, it means that their brain is so minute that if a hungry cannibal cracked their head open, there wouldn't be enough inside to cover a small water biscuit.

[Reply #47 on:]

Faze, by default. I don't even know who the hell the other guy is.

I'm voting for 1BDI just to ensure Faze doesn't actually somehow get the most votes and cause an extremely annoying uproar.

Not that I don't think 1BDI deserves to win. From what I've heard, I'm sure they do.

Ditto. Though this FazeShift thing is getting dull now. You had your fun getting Jan Michael Vincent on the poll before. Stop being sad.

I also voted for 1bdi.  They* made a really good post this month. 

Also, I don't want fazey to win twice, even if he is awesome.

I'm using they as a neutral gendered pronoun because the english language doesn't have a standardized version of that, and also I'm too lazy to look up what 1bdi's gender is.

Wait, Faze has won before? That's why we never put him in the poll? Crap, it took me a while to catch on to that.

I would use the Orson Welles clapping animated GIF right now, but I already used it on the last page when I found out Faze actually made the poll.


And now for the less sarcastic portion of this post:

WikiPEELia and every POTM Nomination thread have a list of those PEELers who have already won. He's on that list. The list is posted in every POTM Nomination thread so people don't nominate those who have already won. There is a group of people, the Committee to Re-Elect ~FazeShift~, or CREFS, who nominate Faze because they say "screw the system" and want him to win again, even though he already won in March 2004.

The other times when Faze made the poll, it was opened by a CREFS member. I only think it stayed open one of those times. I believe this is the first time a non-CREFS member opened a poll with Faze in it.

Sure, if you call that winning...

No cake, no win! 

[Reply #53 on:]

I knew there was a list, and I did read through it, but I must have forgotten Faze was on there. People always make me sound like an idiot 

I can't say I blame them...

[Reply #54 on:]

There was cake when you won faze... but I eatsed it all. 

[Reply #55 on:]

Is that why everyone wants him to win? So you can all have a cake?

[Reply #56 on:]

I want him to win because he's the only person I remember... out of that list, not in my entire life.

A cake would just be the icing on the cake.

[Reply #57 on:]

Do some research with WikiPEEL if you don't know, you whiny babies.

[Reply #58 on:]

Speaking of which, it's August seventh, so I'm assuming 1BDI has won and am taking action accordingly.

[Reply #59 on:]

Voted 1BDI a while ago, but forgot to post about it.

Meta-icing? Whoah! So is there icing on the... outer cake?

Yes. But only if you vote Faze. 

[Reply #61 on:]

I was honestly not expecting to win, and certainly not by that margin.  Thank you all very, very much, (especially Xanfor, for that terribly flattering PotM entry).

 

And when she finishes her Rama Trilogy, Ken Keeler and Russel T. Davies combined shan't be able to get in her way.

Oh sweet merciful crap, I didn't think anyone here remembered that series... which I still need to finish.  Or burn.

[Reply #62 on:]

First Futurama fic I ever read. Side effect of being at the top of CGEF's fanfic page. Stole your Cubert ending, remember?

Which, by the way, I'm rewriting to sound less like plagiarism. 

[Reply #63 on:]

Oh yeah.  I do remember that. 

You don't have to change your ending; it's not like I'm the first fan who's ever wanted to throw something at the little twerp's skull.  But either way, I'm looking forward to the rewrite.

"It."

[Reply #65 on:]

 

From Wikipedia:
The "singular" they is a special case of this pronoun, where they is used as a gender-neutral singular rather than plural pronoun. This use is disputed.

"It" makes it seem like we're talking about an inanimate object or a hermaphrodite. He could've used "one", but then it makes it sound like Winna is a robot.

[Reply #66 on:]

I didn't say its usage would have been approprate, just that the English language does have a neutral gendered pronoun: it.

English pronouns are conjugated as:
I
You
He (masc) /She (fem) /It (neut)
We
You
They

[Reply #67 on:]

I'm not too famliar with the excat definitions of English grammar, but I think there is a difference between a pronoun for the neutral gender and a gender-neutral pronoun (i.e. a pronoun that can be used to refer to something without sepcifying a particular gender).

It seems to me that you're both talking about different things.

Oh, and congratulations for winning the POTM, Officer 1BDI! :-)

[Reply #68 on:]

Congrats, Faze. 

[Reply #69 on:]

Congrats, Officer 1BDI!  You sure earned it.

And thanks for the WikiPEELia post on me, Xan IV!  I guess I must exist now...

[Reply #70 on:]

Not to me...


Challenge!!

[Reply #71 on:]

Poor FazeShift...next month, FazeShift. I can't believe he still hasn't won POTM.

[Reply #72 on:]

I hope to God that's sarcasm, if not I'll have to burn you at the cross.

*Readys torch*

[Reply #73 on:]

Officer 1BDI is the winner
