Vote - Week 27

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A few words from clauderainsrm:

This week I asked our writers to “Bring their A-game” to showcase their talents in an “Open Topic”, which means that they could write whatever they wanted. They will rise, or fall, entirely on those choices.

The events of Week 26 turned LJ IDOL upside down.

What is happening in Week 27 continues that trend, only this time - literally.

The alphabet has been flipped, giving our writers at the backend of the alphabet a chance at being read first.

You might also notice that the Redemption Tribe has been reabsorbed into the main poll. Which should make things a little more interesting as we move to our Top 50.

That’s right. I said - Top 50.

Which means that we are losing FIVE this week.

I said “Bring your A-game”, and I meant it. There are no “Gatekeepers” this week. But it will decide who does, and does not, make it into the Top 50 of LJ IDOL Season 9!

I’d say that’s pretty “high-stakes”.

The poll closes Thursday, Nov 13th at 9pm EST

Good luck to everyone!

[Poll #1988685]

...and those of us with usernames in the middle of the alphabet just shrug. :P

We are the axis around which the game turns! :D

Speaking of Axis... off with their heads!

[n3m3sis43.livejournal.com]

Yep, I said the same thing. :)

[ryl.livejournal.com]

Wow. Nary a bye has been used.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

What, no Topsy Turvy? Good luck, everyone!

If the poll confuses anyone, just fill it out standing on your head. :)

This should have me biting even my toenails! :)

[fodschwazzle.livejournal.com]

That sounds difficult to achieve, considering the angle of the foot and the thickness of the toenail. Unless you meant that you already have experience biting the toenails of the others and only this week will be enough to opt for practicing that habit on yourself.

As long as you don't peel up the toenail itself as in that one fungus commercial, all ratios of "ick" shall remain with safe expectations.

...you mean there are people who COULDN'T bite their toenails?

[fodschwazzle.livejournal.com]

Certainly. I suspect that both the longest legged person in the world and the shortest legged person in the world both struggle with this issue on a regular basis.

"Yes, I represent a superlative. No, I am not satisfied. There are cuticles that yet go unchomped at the end of my human drumsticks."

This seriously made me almost snarf my coffee! It could've been ugly, I tell you!

It's not that hard to reach your toenails actually, especially if one does yoga (I don't), but there is that ick factor as you said!

Hmm I have visions of toenail eating monsters striking in the night now.... causing fungal infection that infects the blood and also...the brain!... oh yes,yes...takes out her ever present notebook and starts scribbling possible plot idea… muttering to herself as she walks away…

...you are consistently fantastic and this comment is no exception.

[kehlen-crow.livejournal.com]

No Redemption finally.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

W00t w00t! :)

[zhent.livejournal.com]

Wow! Top of the list! It's a lot to live up to!!

[millysdaughter.livejournal.com]

And you lived up to it with grace and skill!

[dmousey.livejournal.com]

OMG if the polls stay this way Redemption is coming back and I'll be in it.... again... LOL
