[on:]

There were 17 nominees in total, ten with more than one nomination. Get votin'!

post-postcoital bliss?  That would be where you're enjoying the sammich your lover made for you after you've had your fill of nookie?

Lots of noms -- I'm gonna think this one over...

[Reply #2 on:]

I'm starting to wonder why I don't get nominated. Oh I remember now, my posts are crap. I voted for someone who is currently on vacation!

[Reply #3 on:]

I should stay away for a few months more often, obviously. It seems to make my posts that much more appreciated when I come back, if this sudden rash of nominations for POTM is any indication.

Thanks for nominating me, but I'd prefer that anybody who did so vote for somebody who's actually popular, rather than wasting a vote on me and bringing up the potential for two popular candidates to be tied. Let's have a month without ties! Let's have a decisive win for somebody!

I guess that basket is a decent choice. Put your vote in the basket.

Dear tnuk,

I voted for you. I didn't nominate you because I almost never nominate, due to my laziness and my belief that nomination should be left to newer members.

Please don't verbally sodomize me.

Edit - unless you want to. I'll just sodomize you back. That's how true love works, after all.

[Reply #5 on:]

You utter bastard. Don't you understand that my appeal is partially based on being an outsider, aloof and uncaring about his lack of popularity? If I win awards like POTM, I'll be one of the clique. I'll have gone mainstream, sold out, and will no longer have the artistic integrity I need to get away with calling people fuckmunchers.

Anybody who votes for me can consider themselves to have been called a fuckmuncher. With complete and utter disdain, but also a smidge of slightly exasperated venom. You hear that, fuckmunchers?

Yeah. You heard it. Now I'm off to listen to some angsty music and brood on the issue of whether or not I've alienated enough people this week.

[Reply #6 on:]

Right now I'm inserting a barbed Radium dildo into your most tender orifice... the bellybutton!

Unless you're into that stuff. In which case I'm just hitting your mother with a hammer made of ham.

Edit - Radioactive ham. Just so you know.

[Reply #7 on:]

Mmm. Ham. Radioactive ham. I'm salivating at the thought of tasting your hammer. Stay out of my bellybutton though. You might not like what you find in there. Whole empires have been lost in my navel.

[Reply #8 on:]

I'm sure a little bleach, Lysol, and ammonia would do the trick. You're not THAT horrible! Even if you are, I'm relatively certain a precise nuclear strike would handle things.

[Reply #9 on:]

Why are you constantly trying to get me to use nuclear weapons on you? Do you think it's going to give you superpowers?

[Reply #10 on:]

This is not a productive area of discussion.

[Reply #11 on:]

I voted for that-a-one *points to Sparky*

[Reply #12 on:]

I voted for das amazing Inquisitor Hein:3

[Reply #13 on:]

Hooray, I'm a fuckmuncher!
Also, all this sodomizing is making me so hawt.

[Reply #14 on:]

I voted for the Bark of Spark, given their entertaining and enlightening posts on a very wide range of subjects.

Hooray, I'm a fuckmuncher!

I thought sodomizing was putting in a new lawn by laying down strips of turf?

It might be. Digging it up is called sodmining.

That would be "re-sodding". A sod is a clump of soil or grass, making rolls or strips of turf rather unusual sods, but sods nontheless. However, a "sod" is also a Britishism meaning "miserable bastard", or "one likely to sodomise a person for fun".

To "sodomise" is to have penetrative sex with a person's anus (this need not involve the genitals of the person penetrating the anus and is usually consensual, which sets this practice apart from buggery^*). This comes from the supposed predilictions of the inhabitants of the ancient city of Sodom, mentioned in the Bible. Sodomites were known for their love of buttsex, and were keen to share it with guests. Gomorrah, by contrast, was a place of rampant "stick your dick into anywhere it fits". These cities were destroyed early on in mankind's history, and for a long time it was thought that God had rained down fire and brimstone upon them. Archeologists have since found the remains of two large ancient cities in the right location that appear to have been flattened by a large airbursting meteorite.

The sodomites have left their mark upon history, and would probably be very pleased to know it.

Anyway, to "sod" is to seed new turf, and to "re-sod" is to transplant new turf to a location in need of such. "Sod that" means "fuck it", and comes from the long-respected tradition of when faced with something that one does not like or need, burying it in one's garden and covering it up with lawn. This is still a reasonably common practice in England and is used to show the utmost distaste for a person or thing, or to spite them. "Sod that" is nowadays used to suggest that many things (not necessarily tangible items) are not wanted, needed, or worth the speaker's time.

Sodomy and buggery both have associations with male homosexuality, with men who practice them being referred to as "buggers" and "sods" or "sodomites". However, they are also used for heterosexual enjoyment, and there are many women who submit to a quick buggering once a month in exchange for not becoming pregnant. There are even more who firmly endorse and enjoy a good satisfying act of sodomy now and again.

The above should be read in your head by the voice of David Attenborough or Stephen Fry in order to maximise your enjoyment of it.

*Buggery is of course penetrative anal sex involving the genitals of the penetrative partner perpetrated upon an unwilling human partner or an animal.

[Reply #17 on:]

Interestingly enough, in Catholic moral theology, there is such a thing as "perfect sodomy" and "imperfect sodomy". Perfect sodomy is the completion of the sexual act through anal intercourse, and imperfect sodomy is the act of mere anal penetration. While the former is a sin, the latter is not, provided the act takes place between a married couple as foreplay. The same provision applies to oral sex, making completed fellatio sinful but cunnilingus entirely acceptable.

The Church has no teachings regarding sod.

You know you are on Peel...
...when the poll for "Member of the Month" mutates into a discussion/lecture regarding the religious acceptablility of anal intercourse.

[Reply #19 on:]

One possibly interesting thing to point out this month, - the rolypolypoll is split evenlyequally between exactly half females and half males.

(with prossibly an alien in there or something, do not be ruling that out )

[Reply #20 on:]

How long was this poll set for???

I'm actually a hermaphroditic snail.

I lie. I'm actually an echidna.

[Reply #22 on:]

You're echiddin' me!

Heh.  One who runs on java, no less!  (Either form of Java, take your pick)  Now this is reminding me of Corrupt Desktop.  AW THE NOSTALGIA  Well I'm apparently some kind of kittycat-kmeleon-kmodo dragon mutant hybrid, with a little smidge of Pure Energy Being mixedmingled in, but in any case I wasn't naming any names.

mm, this cheddar broccoli rice is really ace.

[Reply #23 on:]

5 days, same as every poll as stated in the rules. This particular poll was made in early hours PST of the 6th, so logic dictates that it will close around the same time on the 11th. Depending on which moderator is online, the polls are made anywhere between shortly after midnight to early morning on the 6th of each month. Thank you for your inquiry.

[Reply #24 on:]

Oooh. An interesting tie. I approve.

[Reply #25 on:]

Yeah, there's no way I'll beat sparky in the runoff. I can smell which way the wind is blowing.

[Reply #26 on:]

Another tie? What's up with the damn ties lately!

[Reply #27 on:]

I find my lack of votes disturbing.

[Reply #28 on:]

To the tie-deciding mobile!

You got more than AllEggs and me, so put a cork in it...

[Reply #30 on:]

Runoff poll created, hop to it! Good luck!
